Tailor-Made With Sensitivity And Skill
Unique, fun and intimate weddings are my specialty.
But what am I like as a person? And what are you looking for in a celebrant?
The most authentic and truthful way of finding out is to read the many reviews about me. See below.
To help out, here is a snapshot of what couples have said.
So easy to talk too, friendly, down to earth, kind and inclusive
Has a great sense of humour
Incredibly professional, organised and resourceful
Nothing was too much trouble, everything was so easy and stress free
Incorporated our ideas and ensured everything was just what we wanted
The package of information and book of wording choices provided made the process so much easier
Our first meeting was very relaxed and obligation free
The cost was all inclusive, no hidden extras and VERY REASONABALE
Jan is AMAZING at what she does. She certainly created a perfect day for us and a life time of great memories
Now, what do you want your ceremony to be like?
Most couples want a marriage ceremony that is not too long, relaxed, memorable, contains a few laughs and is certainly not boring, but at the same time being thoughtful and respectful.
Couples who are becoming a blended family often wish to recognise their children.
Some couples wish to include their precious furry members of the family or include symbolic cultural traditions.
And some couples are not sure what they want or where to start.
This is where I come in.
As a full time celebrant, I’m here to provide unlimited assistance, expert knowledge and many great ideas to guide you through the planning process in creating the magic for your special day and to celebrate the beginning of your new life together.
It’s not only what a celebrant does, it’s how they do it that makes the difference.
So what I will provide for you at no extra cost?
A folder of information to help understand the process, legalities and plan your ceremony
A book containing range of ideas and wording options for each section of the ceremony, including symbolic ceremonies
Ideas on how to include children or your precious furry members of the family
Complete freedom to choose how and what you wish to include to create a truly unique ceremony
Over 1200 music tracks (or you can provide your own)
PA system with an independent operator
Plus heaps of other extras which can be found on my website. (It’s my name then .com.au)
My main objectives:
To discover what’s important to you as a couple. Understand what makes you tick, what you like and don’t like.
Enable you to relax and enjoy the journey, knowing your ceremony is in reliable hands and will run smoothly.
My promise:
To never tell you what you should or shouldn’t include in your ceremony (except for the legal bits of course) – after all, it’s your day so it should be exactly what you want.
To create and expertly deliver a unique, sincere, personal ceremony (with some fun and precious moments) that you and your guests will be talking about in years to come.
If you are still reading this, you have seen, read or heard something about me that you like and you probably have some questions.
So what’s next?
Get in touch a.s.a.p to make sure I’m available on your day.
We can then have a chat so you can get your first glimpse of who I am. I can also find out a little more detail and give you a firm costing.
We can set up a time to meet in person or on Zoom or FaceTime (no obligation of course!) so you can check me out and feel comfortable that I am the right fit for yourselves and your special day.
I am based in Clyde North. Willing to travel to all areas of Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Testimonials
Scott and I would like to say a massive thank you for your professionalism, assistance, guidance, support, advice and your excellent work. We could not be happier with having you involved in our special day and really appreciate everything you did to make the day run smoothly and put our minds at ease.
The wedding album you made with our wedding vows etc is such a special keepsake and we really appreciate the extra effort you went to, to obtain our wedding music at such short notice.
The resource book and information you provided us with prior to our marriage was extremely helpful and just another example of the extra mile you went to, to make our day so special.
We will be sure to recommend you to any friends/family who are looking for a celebrant.

Hi Jan,
I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a wonderful ceremony. Your service was excellent from the first meeting, right through to the end. You were professional and thoroughly organised, yet flexible enough to handle our quirky requests and nutty family! I would like to recommend your services to any prospective client, and would be happy to act as a referee or have you use my testimonial in any future advertising you do. Keep up the excellent work!
Leah and Simon
Michael and I would just like to say a HUGE thank you for every thing you done for us in the lead up and also on the day of our wedding! We were very impressed with your attention to detail and listening to what we wanted. Many of our guests complimented you on the day for doing an outstanding job. Thank you also for the beautiful book with our ceremony. It is a lovely keepsake that I know we will treasure.
Lindsay and Michael
Just wanted to send a special thank you Jan for officiating our ceremony on the weekend. You did a beautiful job and we were so pleased we had someone as knowledgeable, friendly and helpful as you to navigate us through the path of getting married! We thoroughly enjoyed the day and had many comments on how well it all went. The hand fasting ceremony was a big talking point as not many people had seen or heard of it.
Mady and Chris
Jan, we would like to thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony that you wrote for us, it was fantastic! It really captured who we are, especially the way you included our children. We would also like to thank you for the truly wonderful job you did in delivering the ceremony. Everything went so smoothly.
If you would like to use us as a reference we would be delighted to recommend you to any one.

Hi Jan,
Josh and I wanted to say a massive thank you for your Celebrant services that you provided to us on our wedding day.
We could not have asked anything more from you. You were absolutely fantastic. Professional and organized right from the start. The literature you provided to us to research poems, vows, symbolic ceremonies etc: was of a great help.
The length of the ceremony was perfect and you delivered it so well.
I personally want to say thank you for looking after me on the day. I have watched back the video of our wedding day and noticed The wind was blowing my veil around and you were there fixing it for me.
I just cannot find the words to thank you as I am just so grateful we had you as our Celebrant and delivered us such a professional service.
Jan, Again, I cannot say it enough, Thank you. Thank you for everything. You have been amazing.
We will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else whom requires a celebrant for any function.
I wish you and your family all the best for the future.
Melanie and Josh
We can’t rate Jan’s service and professionalism highly enough. She is extremely efficient, very friendly and made the whole process simple. From our very first enquiry we knew we did not need to look any further. Jan listened to our particular circumstances and plans for our wedding day and provided us with her sound advice and some other ideas to consider. We are very grateful for her guidance plus the many examples of wording to work through and choose from. Our ceremony was very personal and special. Thank you Jan. Highly recommended.
