Joy & Love - Celebrant

29/12/2025

It has been a season of love and I am so grateful and happy to work with couples to celebrate their unique story in a way that is memorable for them.

Every wedding is so different and it is such a privilege. I'm truly appreciative of having received this email: "Thank you for your patience and warmth from the very beginning. The ceremony you led was beautiful, full of meaning, and wonderfully romantic. It felt deeply personal and heartfelt, and we will treasure that moment forever".

If you or someone you know wants to create your own meaningful story and celebration, don't hesitate to be in touch.

Here's to love and to you in 2026 💛💛

Today I was walking to an event when a white butterfly and a monarch came close.

The next thing I knew, I bumped into a person I'd known years ago, who pointed out how I had helped them. It was such a meaningful encounter, and it reminded me of Jane Goodall's last words in saying that we can each take small actions, in our own way, that make a difference.

I was late for the event, yet so grateful to this man who helped me remember this.

Today we were lucky enough to celebrate the love of some cherished members of our families, including Blake, Bojo, Zsömi, Mika and other Gentle Waters Pet Cremation and Our Pet's Goodbye fur babies.

It was such a lovely time to reflect and share memories together, knowing there are no goodbyes and that they will always be in our hearts. 💛💛💛💛💛💛

On Sunday it warmed my heart and I was privileged to officiate at a memorial service with Jess and her family, where they, along with their friends and family, spent time sharing memories and the love they had for Daisy.

This is what Jess said:

"Yesterday we celebrated the life of our loving fur baby, Daisy. Having a pet memorial service was the perfect way to celebrate and honour the life she lived. We will love you forever, our cutest baby 🌼
Thank you for curating the perfect service Joy Kuhns ❤️"

It was an absolute honour to be marrying these two incredibly beautiful people. Their energy, presence and mana was incredible, and I feel so lucky to have met them.

Thank you for choosing me to be part of your special day.
