Meaningful, inclusive ceremonies that honour love, life, and legacy in Canberra.

WELCOME

I believe ceremonies are more than just formalities, they’re sacred moments that anchor us in love, connection, and community.

My path to celebrancy began with a deep desire to create space where people feel seen, supported, and honoured.

Whether it’s the laughter of friends at a wedding, the quiet pride of a naming day, or the tender remembrance of a farewell, I’m here to guide you through with compassion and authenticity.

Sacred Celebrations is about creating moments that are grounded, warm, and enduring — a gentle anchor in life’s big transitions.

How it Works

Let’s Meet

We start with a conversation — often over coffee or Zoom. I’ll ask questions that go deeper than the usual “when and where” because I want to understand your story and what truly matters to you.

Shaping Your Ceremony

Based on our conversations, I’ll write and shape your ceremony. You’ll have space to review and refine, so by the time the day arrives, everything feels exactly right.

The Day Itself

I’ll arrive calm, organised, and fully present — ready to hold space and guide everyone through. My role is to make the ceremony feel effortless for you, while carrying the weight of structure and timing myself.

Afterwards

For weddings, you’ll receive a keepsake copy of your ceremony. For farewells, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing a life was honoured with dignity and love.

Journal

The Sacred Journal

This is a space for reflection, storytelling, and gentle guidance — a place where I share thoughts on ceremony, love, loss, ritual, and the quiet moments that shape our lives.

Here, you’ll find ideas and insights to help you plan your own celebration or simply pause and reconnect with what matters most.
