"I was registered as a qualified Marriage Celebrant in 2004. It wasn't a career move that I planned in my teens or anything like that. I just sort of fell into it after a friend's daughter had troubles finding a celebrant here, at Mission Beach.

But once I became a celebrant, it was obvious that it was something which I discovered I really enjoyed.


My husband has always said that I am "in love with love" and maybe that's why. I am told at my ceremonies that I speak from the heart with feeling and I think that's because I really do believe the things that I say.


But I do know that it has given me pride and satisfaction over the years to have pleased all my clients with a high quality and personalised service. So your ceremony, for me, will be a celebration of love."
