What we can do together

Four starting points. All of them shaped around you.

Some couples want the paperwork done properly and nothing more. Some want the whole thing: the story, the vows, the tissues. Both are completely valid, and so is anything in between. Pick whichever feels closest and we'll adjust it together.

If none of these feel quite right, say so when you get in touch and I'll put together something that does. That happens more often than you'd think.

A particular love of mine

South Asian, Indian and Sri Lankan ceremonies.

I especially love celebrating culturally meaningful South Asian, Indian and Sri Lankan ceremonies, and the family traditions that come with them. If your families have expectations about how this should go, that's not a complication. It's the good part.

Every ceremony is different, so we'll work out together what belongs in yours: the cultural traditions that matter to you, the family members you want standing up there, or something that's entirely your own. I'm respectful of all backgrounds, traditions and stories, and I'd rather ask than assume.

Questions

The things couples ask me first.

How far in advance should we book?

It's best to book as early as possible, especially for peak wedding seasons. I recommend securing your date once you have it confirmed, even if other details are still being finalised. Keep in mind the Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged at least one month before your wedding.

Are you an authorised marriage celebrant?

Yes, I'm an authorised marriage celebrant, so your ceremony is fully legal and recognised across Australia, with all the paperwork handled for you.

Do you help with writing vows?

Yes, absolutely. I'll guide you through writing your vows with examples, prompts and support so they feel natural, personal and not overwhelming.

Can you include cultural or personalised elements?

Of course. Every ceremony is different, and I'll work with you to include anything that feels meaningful: cultural traditions, family involvement, or something unique to you as a couple. I especially love celebrating South Asian, Indian and Sri Lankan ceremonies.

Where do you travel for ceremonies?

I'm based in Melbourne and cover all of Greater Melbourne, including Narre Warren, Clyde and Berwick. I also travel across Victoria and interstate. If your venue is further out, tell me where when you get in touch and we'll sort the travel out together before anything is locked in.

What if none of these feel quite right?

Every couple is different, so if none of them fit, just get in touch and I'll put together something that does.

Not sure which one is yours? That's what the chat is for.

Tell me the date and the vibe and I'll tell you honestly which of these fits, even if the answer is the smallest one.
