Celebrating Unforgettable Love Stories
A very warm welcome to you! Whether you're looking for a Celebrant for your Wedding, Elopement or Vow Renewal, this is such an exciting time and there's a lot to think about and plan.
You’ve found the person of your dreams and now you want to mark this momentous occasion with a celebration, a ceremony in which you can express your love, your hopes and excitement for the future as partners in love and life.
Or, perhaps you’ve been married for a number of years and want to reaffirm your commitment to each other and all that you’ve experienced and achieved in your time together.
As an experienced celebrant of 9 years, I’ll work with you closely to understand and reflect your values and vision, setting the stage for a ceremony that’s as special and unforgettable as your love story.

Choosing a Celebrant
‘Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life, and choosing the right celebrant to officiate it is just as important as selecting the perfect venue or the dream dress. Your celebrant sets the tone of your ceremony, guides proceedings and helps to create a meaningful and memorable experience for you, your partner, and your guests. They also play a huge part in the planning and creation of your ceremony and each is as unique as the couples they marry.’

Jen & Ben
‘Sam is the best of the best! From start to finish we felt very prepared for our wedding ceremony. She is so friendly and provides everything needed to plan the ceremony, write vows, etc. We were very happy with how everything went! It was so seamless and a very special ceremony.’


Robe & Rose
‘Sam speaks in such a genuine way that guests thought we had known her for years (and that's how it felt to us) her words made them laugh and cry, which is exactly what you want at your wedding :)’


Alex & Paul
‘What stands out to us is Sam’s care and attention to you, her warm, friendly and calm manner which helps to keep you calm and also her sense of humour, as a fellow Brit, it was important to us to have this element included.’


Tania and Simon
‘Sam told our story in both English and Portuguese and because of that, everyone who celebrated with us was able to be a part of our ceremony. We are so incredibly thankful to have found Sam.’


Mikaila and Thomas
‘Sam was super kind and helpful in accommodating to our needs and requests (We live in the US and had to work with time differences, last minute changes etc.) Working with her was so lovely. I would recommend working with her to everyone I know!’


Laura and Stephane
‘What we loved most about Sam was how organised, calm and composed she always was. Thank you so much for sharing this moment with us, for always being professional, and also for having such a beautiful English accent!’

Booking a free consultation allows you to discuss your vision for the ceremony and ensure it reflects your unique love story. It’s an opportunity to meet me, ask questions, and see if I’m the right celebrant to bring your day to life.

The Process
I offer a no obligation video call so that we can talk through your thoughts and ideas for your wedding ceremony and also to see if I'm the right celebrant for you.
Should you decide that you want me as your celebrant, I share a comprehensive guide with you to help you get your ideas together as a couple about your ceremony. I am available on email and video call to support you as much or as little as you want me to in creating the right ceremony for you.
My role as your celebrant on your wedding day is to be an organised, calming presence. I am there to help guide the proceedings and to perform the ceremony in the way that you have chosen - whether that's informal and fun, spiritual or traditional.
