Feeling incredibly grateful today 🥹✨

Thank you for these gorgeous words. It honestly means the world to me to be part of such special moments.

Beth & Matt Cescon: “Thank you so much for yesterday ❤️❤️❤️ The ceremony was beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.”

Marie & Kees van Geuns: “You made our wedding ceremony very special Michelle. Lots of laughter, but you kept us in line and made everything so easy to follow. We still talk about it a lot. Thank you again! 💕”

Being trusted with your ceremony is a privilege — thank you for letting me do what I love. 💛

Hello hello 👋 I’m Michelle — celebrant, professional people-herder, and the person who will create a beautiful ceremony for your big day!

A little about me:
✨ Fun + quick to laugh (I’ll probably laugh with you, not at you… mostly 😉)
📋 Super organised
🎤 Super experienced (10+ years as a celebrant, and I trained at Celebrant School back in Dec 2015)
💍 Super accommodating, and willing to face any challenge you throw at me.

What I love most is creating ceremonies that feel like YOU — heartfelt, meaningful, with just the right amount of humour.

If you’re planning a wedding and want a celebrant who’s calm, confident, and can keep things running smoothly while still keeping it fun, you’re in the right place 🤍

Are you planning your wedding right now, or are thinking about options for the future, give me a call or message and we can catch up for a no obligation chat.
