Introduction

It gives me great pleasure to be part of a significant event in people’s lives – to work with a couple to create the unique special day. As a Commonwealth Authorized Marriage Celebrant, in addition to creating and conducting personal professional wedding ceremonies, I also celebrate naming ceremonies, commitments, partnership relationships, other special occasions and funerals.

Holding a wedding ceremony in a special place for the couple adds to the uniqueness of a wedding. I will work with the couple to make this happen. It could be the family homestead or woolshed, a beautiful chapel or the warm, friendly environment of a country hotel beer garden. Garden weddings are very popular.

While I live in Bendigo, Victoria I will travel to other areas to ensure you have a special day.

Please contact me to discuss your ceremony requirements.

We cannot thank John enough for making our day what it was. He made everyone feel apart of our special day and was able to tailor the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. John made the whole experience from initial contact right through until after the wedding such a stress free time. Thanks John.
