Hello! I’m delighted that you’ve landed here and that you may be considering me to officiate your special day.

I am fun, outgoing and provide a sense of warmth without outshining you! I have a very natural and light hearted delivery, but I still manage to make the ceremony feel genuine and sincere.

The feedback I receive more than anything else is that I am incredibly calm. I naturally bring a warm, calming energy on a day where the nerves can often be quite high!

My ceremonies are authentic, genuine and real, focusing on sharing your love for each other with those nearest and dearest to you. I love working with couples to create heartfelt ceremonies, and I draw upon my unique mix of event management, communications and acting skills to produce memorable moments.

The ‘Legals Only’ will consist only of the legal requirements, including my legal welcome, your legal vows and signing the certificates. I deliver Legals Only marriages through my sister company, SA Marriage Office. You can opt for a short ceremony, or simply no ceremony at all where we say a few legal words and sign the paperwork.

My sister company, SA Marriage Office, is a registry style marriage office based in the heart of Glenelg. We offer legals only weddings at affordable prices without the fuss of a traditional marriage ceremony.

If you’re keen to book a legals only marriage, contact me at the SA Marriage Office.

LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU
$350

Imagine after your ceremony, you are busy having your photos taken, and your guests are enjoying a bubbly or a beer in the gardens of a beautiful venue. There is a classical pianist playing some tunes in the corner, and much to your guests’ surprise, that classical pianist is the man who married you! Let me serenade you with 20 years of classical training for 1.5 hours during your pre-dinner drinks. Not interested in classical jams? That’s cool, I’ve got plenty of modern, popular tunes under my belt too. Think Africa by Toto, You’re the Voice by Johnny Farnham and Horses by Daryl Braithwaite. Includes a stage piano and PA system.
