about me

Howdy, I’m Steph

Telling stories and bringing people together has been my life’s work; I’ve run global entrepreneur programs, I’ve emceed major events and I’ve thrown killer parties.And now, as a celebrant, I get to bring all this together to create moments of genuine connection for couples on their big day - it’s a bloody joy!What you should know about me:

  • I’m the daughter of a musician and a voiceover artist, so it’s safe to say I’m designed to flex the ol’ voice box for good.

  • I’m a qualified skydiver, scuba diver and have a passionate love of classic house and disco.

  • I met my amazing partner at a bike rave and we have an adopted greyhound named Svetlana.

So let’s see what magic we can create together.

a quick note

On my vibe

Now, I should mention that if you're looking for a more traditional celebrant, I'm probably not your girl. I believe love comes in endless spectacular forms, all of which should be celebrated.So to help you get a clearer picture of me, I’ve made a little list of what you can and can’t expect if we work together.What you’ll get working with me:

  • A deeply personal ceremony that feels unbelievably “you.”

  • The ultimate cheerleader to bring out & celebrate the best parts of yourself

  • A calm soul to help you navigate the crazy world of weddings

  • A guaranteed good time

What you won’t get working with me:

  • Pressure or expectations to include traditional ceremonial elements

  • Lots of boring admin or paperwork

  • Judgement on your choices, no matter how simple or wild

  • An impersonal, boring, cookie-cutter ceremony

the process

step 1

Firming up the deets

We’ll sign the NOIM (Notice of Intended Marriage) and firm up all your fabulous ceremony inclusions in a service agreement to ensure absolute transparency. You’ll also complete a super simple (and fun) questionnaire so I have all your wonderful stories on hand.

step 2

Let’s get creative

I’ll craft you a bespoke ceremony that’ll capture your love story’s true essence. And don’t worry - you’ll get to make any edits you wish. I’ll also prepare your legal paperwork, a trusty ol’ runsheet, your vows and of course, the music, so you can rest easy knowing everything is sorted for you. And don’t forget - I’ll be on hand to help with anything you need in the lead up to the big day.

step 3

It’s time to party

Your friends and family have gathered. You’re both looking fab. It’s time to get you married. I’ll deliver your bespoke ceremony, we’ll sign the paperwork to make it legal and low and behold, you’ll be married baby! If i’m staying on as your MC, I’ll see you on the dancefloor, otherwise, expect a quick congratulations and I’ll be off.

all the deets

Fabulously asked questions

I perform weddings all across Melbourne/Naarm, as well as both the Bellarine & Mornington Peninsula. If you’re planning your big day somewhere else, hit me up and let’s chat.

You can book me any time you like, as long as it’s at least one month before your ceremony. In Australia, this is the legally required minimum notice period you must give.

Absolutely not - our first chat is free of charge and entirely obligation free. Whether in person or on zoom, it’s our chance to suss each other’s vibe and see if we’re a good fit.

That’s no problem at all - my offerings are listed above to give you confidence and clarity on what can be included. I also know that no two couples are the same, so if you’re looking for something a little different, just let me know and I know we’ll find that right fit.

Of course! I totally get that writing and sharing vows can be a little daunting, so let’s chat about how I can help you craft vows that capture your love in a natural way.

Love what you see?

Let's chat

I’d love to know a bit more about you and your plans for your upcoming “do.”
Once you leave a message, you can expect to hear from me within a day and we can take it from there!

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. In telling stories and creating ceremonies, I pay homage to their rich storytelling culture and note that sovereignty was never ceded.
