With a background in stand up comedy I want to breathe new life into marriage ceremonies.

​

We've all been to them.  The boring, stuffy, monotonous ceremony. Someone standing up the front and droning on and on with everyone wishing it would end so they can get a drink! 

​

I do things differently.  I believe the ceremony can be the highlight of the day, and my 5 star Google reviews back this up.

 

I use humour as a device to break the ice, ease the tension and bring the gathering together.   As former professional scriptwriter for television, I get to know you as a couple in order to craft an exceptional ceremony that is heartfelt and engaging with no boring bits...and we'll have a tonne of fun along the way.

​

I am a celebrant because I believe in marriage; I don't think it's just a piece of paper. I believe it takes courage to stand in front of the people you care about most and make a commitment to the one you love, and it's an honour to guide you through the process.    

 

Why choose me to be your celebrant? I am a dedicated, full-time celebrant who knows her stuff.  I'm highly experienced, extremely professional, but most importantly...I love what I do!

"Vanessa was absolutely incredible! From the initial introduction through to the ceremony, everything was so seamless. She got to know us over a couple of casual coffees and the ceremony she wrote truly encapsulated both of us as individuals and as a couple. She’s light-hearted and so easy to get along with - she was always quick to reply to answer any questions we had. If you’re looking for a celebrant who can have a laugh and also capture your true love as a couple, I can not recommend Vanessa more highly! Thank you for making our day so heartfelt, full of laughs and so special! It was the best day of our lives and we got so many compliments on how perfect the ceremony was. Thank You, Vanessa!" Ali and Pete
