Heartfelt, inclusive and unforgettable celebrations

Welcome to the home of

Steph the Celebrant

Hi, I’m Steph and I’m in the business of love… I deliver heartfelt, inclusive and personalised ceremonies that celebrate the full circle of life.

As your celebrant I play an integral role in setting the tone of your event and holding the space for you. I am passionate about inclusivity and celebrating individuality and I ensure your guests are involved and engaged in every part of your ceremony or celebration of life..

I pride myself on the authentic connection I form with my families and couples and am sincere about making sure your ceremony is as unique as you or your loved one.

I’m a love-to-chat type of lady and coffee and cake are my two favourite food groups, so let’s meet up (in person or virtual) and see if I’m the celebrant for you.

What is a celebrant and why do you need one?

A trained Civil Celebrant creates and delivers tailored ceremonies including weddings, baby naming, adoption and blended family ceremonies, gender affirmations, decoupling, renewal of vows and funerals.

Celebrants are not restricted by time, rules or beliefs. There are lots of reasons you would choose a trained Civil Celebrant to perform your ceremony, including:

  • You want a fully personalised ceremony, telling your story or the story of your loved one, exactly how you visualised it. Not restricted to a time slot.

  • You want music, readings, pets or children involved. You want intimate pauses and symbolic rituals that speak to you and your family. We can add religion or not - it’s all up to you.

  • You want your ceremony to be remembered for years to come. You want your guests to be engaged from the moment they arrive.

  • You want to hold your ceremony at a venue that isn’t licensed. Choose your garden, the beach, forest, or on a cliff top, its all possible.

  • You want to build connection and trust with the woman officiating your ceremony. You don’t want to feel you’re being rushed or on a conveyor belt of ceremonies.

I support marriage equality

I am a proud champion for marriage equality and celebrating diverse relationships in an inclusive, authentic and memorable way.

Its a shame there still is a the need to state this, but I’m excited that as a Civil Celebrant I get to positively influence changing attitudes in our society.
