Notes from my lovers...

We honestly cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. From the very first meeting right through to the moment we said “I do,” she was absolutely incredible. Sarah made the entire process feel so easy, calm and personal. She took the time to truly get to know us, and the ceremony she created reflected our story perfectly — there wasn’t a dry eye (including ours!). Her warmth, professionalism and genuine care shone through in every detail. On the day, she delivered our ceremony so beautifully and confidently, making us feel completely at ease and able to soak in every second. So many of our guests commented on how amazing she was. Sarah, thank you for making our special day one we will never forget. We are so grateful for everything you did to make it perfect 🤍

A massive shout-out to the best celebrant out there, Sarah! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars just isn’t enough praise for what you deserve. You crafted our ceremony into something truly beautiful, intricate, and deeply meaningful - a perfect celebration of my husband and our love for each other. Even though our little puppy couldn’t be there on the day, Sarah surprised us with a cut-out of our sweet Millie, who ended up dancing the night away with multiple guests! Thank you for truly listening to us, for sharing our love story so thoughtfully, and for creating such personal, heartfelt moments throughout our ceremony.

Sarah was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. We felt held by her. She was so calm and completely got us as a couple. Sarah has a wonderful mix of excitement, professionalism and humour in her role. I highly recommend for anyone getting married. She will walk you through the whole process and make your day one to remember. Love Lauren and Sophie

Sarah, was an amazing support, a problem solver, a great listener and she did a wonderful job! We loved working with her and it was a fantastic ceremony and exactly what we were hoping for. We received so many comments from people at the reception about how great they thought the celebrant was. She really put us at ease and it all flowed so beautifully. She really took the time to get to know us and her words on the day were beautiful. Thank you again for a fabulous experience!

I can’t think of anyone else we gone with for our nuptials. Sarah is just so well suited to the celebrant role. A few words that come to mind… comforting, professional and grounding. I felt so at ease with her from start to finish. Our wedding wasn’t ‘straight forward’ and Sarah just jumped in the minute she arrived helping at every turn. Simply put, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with anyone else and we are absolutely thrilled we get to share our special day with her forever. Thanks Sarah, really, we value and appreciate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU TRAVEL BEYOND MELBOURNE AND SURROUNDS? Absolutely! I'm often travelling around regional Victoria and I'm happy to travel further if I'm available. I charge the standard ATO rate of travel and accommodation, if needed.

WE HAVE A FRIEND WE'D LIKE TO DELIVER OUR CEREMONY. CAN YOU ASSIST THEM? Yes, I love co-pilot ceremonies! Such a beautiful way to personalise your day, and what an honour for your friend. I offer both Legals Only support (taking care of the paperwork) and my specialised Co-Pilot Support package (helping your friend in the lead-up and on the day).

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START. CAN YOU RECOMMEND OTHER VENDORS? I'd love to. There are so many fabulous wedding vendors out there. I am very happy to recommend some of the absolute legends I've met in the industry.

ARE YOU ABLE TO KEEP OUR DATE FREE? Once you have paid your booking fee, your date is locked in my calendar. If you haven't yet paid a booking fee, I cannot guarantee your date will be kept free.

ARE YOU INCLUSIVE OF ALL COUPLES? Yes, I most certainly am. Not just couples, but your guests too. I value inclusivity, respect and accessibility, and my ceremonies are designed with these values at the forefront. As a queer woman myself, I recognise the impact of inclusivity and how I smile on the inside when people see me without making assumptions. I strive to pay forward that smile however I can and to continue my learning of others and their intersectional diversities.

WE WOULD LIKE THE CEREMONY TO INCLUDE A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH. CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT? Yes. I offer ceremonies in English and German, but if we have the need for either a language or Auslan interpreter, I can help arrange that and work with them to get you married.

WE'RE PLANNING TO MARRY IN AUSTRALIA BUT DON'T LIVE THERE. CAN WE DO ALL OUR WEDDING PLANNING WITH YOU ONLINE? Yes. If you live overseas, I can send you all the required documents you'll need to get started with planning your Australian wedding.
