All We Need Is Love

Can I just say that I am SO HAPPY that you have decided to get married. It’s a massive milestone and you have made a really life affirming decision.

I’m also completely stoked that you are here on WedShed having a look at some vendors you think you might like to work with. If you are here you are my kind of people.

I'm a Blue Mountains based marriage celebrant with 10+ years and hundreds of couples under my belt. There isn't much I haven't seen at a wedding and yet I am constantly getting blown away with how clever couples are when it comes to celebrating their love and their communities. Weddings (and marriage) are ever evolving and it's a wonderful thing.

My approach is pretty relaxed when it comes ceremony creation and facilitation. We meet, make sure we connect, then nothing happens until it's time to submit some paperwork and gather the info I need to write your ceremony. You get to see the draft if you want to, but the most important thing is that I do the work and you get to relax in the knowledge that you'll be fully represented on the day. No rogue words about marriage or love, no bad jokes, no show boating - just genuine laughter, tears and connection. I'll tell your guests how to throw that confetti, get out of the way for most of the ceremony so you get lots of photos without me in them and make sure all is well behind the scenes before we kick off. The majority of my reviews mention the word "calm" and that is because I am! I am here to guide you and ground you - which means you get to actually be present and have a really good time.

I have a variety of packages to suit the growing needs of my couples plus so. much. experience. Seriously, I've never had a job for this long, what do I do with all this knowledge? Oh yeah, that's right, give it to you...

So send me an enquiry, I’ll send you some more info and a link to book in an obligation free zoom date with me and we’ll make this happen. I can’t wait to meet you both!

PS: I LOVE DOGS, PLEASE BRING THEM TO OUR MEETINGS/YOUR WEDDING, KTHNXBYE

A little bit about me:

The basics - born and bred in NZ, I moved here when I was 21 seeking some adventure and freedom and never left. I have spent a lot of my life volunteering and advocating for those who need it, though now that I'm a mum trying to balance running a business and ipad time I find myself focussing on doing less not more - which I'm learning to be ok with! I have a background in customer service and child care and have always been about good vibes and creativity - which is why celebrancy is a crush I just can't quit.

The business - All We Need Is Love was born in 2012 and has relentlessly flourished over all these years. It's wild to see how weddings have changed in that time, but what hasn't changed is my ethos. I’m super open-minded when it comes to your ideas and passionate about people having a ceremony that is theirs and theirs alone. Outside of the legal requirements we don’t have to tick any particular boxes – in the 10+ years I’ve been doing this that has been something that the majority of my couples don’t even realise.

My job is to uncover what is important to you and then hone in on this in your ceremony. Sometimes this looks like celebrating your communities, or focussing on what connects you and your partner, or looking to your future – or all of the above! Regardless of the direction you want your ceremony to go, I am there to bring your stories to life in my signature calm, cool and collected manner. Fun is a given, silliness is not. Tears are also a given – if I don’t make someone cry at least once a week I am failing at life.

I'm pedantic about using modern and inclusive language. I'm passionate about making your guests feel like they are rock stars in their own right. I'm dedicated to making the two of you relax and feel the good feelings. I'm low key but funny, warm but laid back. I'm constantly seeking the balance between lying quietly in my garden and wanting to slam 3 margs in a row and then go out and dance. Basically, I'm a human just like you - multi faceted and doing their best!
