"We recently had Julie marry us and I cant praise her high enough. Our wedding was at a winery in Victoria and she very kindly made the trip over from WA for us. Her professionalism and friendliness from the very start made organising so much easier, and on the day the ceremony flowed perfectly. Julie incorporates a great mix of passion and humour when she speaks, which keeps everyone listening to her every word she says.
For anyone that is looking for a celebrant, look no further, you won't find better than Julie."
Matt Morton
"The lovely Julie kindly married my hubby and myself with very short notice (about 10days.) after we found out that our friend who was supposed to marry us wasn’t a celebrant after all.. Julie is very professional but saying this she very skilfully made our ceremony into a enjoyable, relaxed affair with bursts of humour here and there! I very highly recommend Julie as she makes getting married fun and easy."

“From the moment I met Julie, I knew she was the right fit for us. A very warm lady who cares about the service she delivers. We had a very private ceremony (witnesses only) but despite this Julie made our service very thoughtful and memorable. The personal touches of remembering how we met and acknowledging that our parents were not present was really beautiful. I have already recommended Julie to friends. We couldn't have had a better day.”

We liked you from the moment that you visited our home to discuss arrangements .. supremely professional and instantly you gained our confidence.
