My goal is to create the wedding ceremony you've always dreamed of.

A wedding that reflects your unique personality and style.

A modern wedding that you and your guests will delight in.

 

Byron Bay and the Hinterland Region

 offers so many different &

wonderful settings.

The choice is endless - 

warm, relaxing and memorable.

 

 

I grew up living in this beautiful part of the world and over the

past 20 years I have been lucky enough to have travelled

extensively with my professions. 

 

I'm a romantic at heart and a ceremony I attended some time ago inspired me to become a Marriage Celebrant - I hope to bring the same kind of

modern professionalism and enjoyment to your special day.

The effort, care and love you put into our ceremony meant so much to us.
We will be recommending you to anyone we know who is getting married!!
Wishing you all the best Jenna & Asa
AKA - Mr & Mrs Kenworthy ;)

Hi Michelle, Married life has been great.

We just returned from a lovely relaxing honeymoon in Bali & are just settling back into life at home.  
 
Thankyou so much for all you did for us for the wedding, you were absolutely amazing & such a pleasure to work with. We had so many compliments about you on the day & even since the wedding.

My Dad called me a few days ago just to tell me again how 

great the wedding was & specifically how fantastic you were.  
We are so appreciative of all you did for us. Thankyou for all the hard work you put in, for the gorgeous ceremony you wrote, for the rehersal, for calming our nerves beforehand, for the ring holding practice run's!, for making the ceremony the special celebration that it was, but not at all stuffy or traditional. It was very 'us' & so much more than we could have hoped for. 

We definitely hit the celebrant jackpot & you really made the day for us.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!!
 Goodluck with everything. I'm sure you are busy as ever.

Hope you have a lovely Christmas with you daughter.  
Thanks again...Jess & Mike. x

 

 

Hi Michelle!!
Thanks so much for being a part of our special day.

It was absolutely amazing and everyone is still raving about it and said how wonderful you are. A lot of the Irish contigent who are used to long drawn out church catholic weddings have been inspired to even start making their weddings a little more fun :-)

We had a fab time- take care and will hopefully bump into you one day!
Cheers   Mandy & Roch Hanmore

 

 

Hi Michelle, 
Married life is treating us well, it's probably even better than expected which is really special.
Thankyou so much for the beautiful service you gave for us. I can't tell you how many people have commented on how lovely you were and how touching the ceremony was. The ring blessing and hand ceremony were so beautiful and bring a tear to my eye every time I watch our video. 
It was really important for both of us that our ceremony was a reflection of us and the love we share, you created that for us and we can't be more grateful. 
The entire wedding went perfectly.

Everyone involved was so professional and went above

and beyond to make our day one to remember.
Overall it was the most special day and was made even better

by the people we surrounded ourselves with. 
 We do hope to see you again one day, 

until then we wish you all the best.    Elise & Matt Callender xx

 

 

Hi Michelle, 
Firstly, thank you for being part of our day and helping 

it to run as smoothly as it did and it was definately everything we hoped for. 
 Our honeymoon was lovely and we have a little honeymoon baby on the way.  
We are very excited....  Regards Suz and Dion

 

 

Hi Michelle,
 Sam and I would like to thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony you made for us at Suzanne's Hideaway.

Hi Michelle
Last weekend felt like a dream. Your efforts were so amazing and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our day the most memorable. We are so lucky to have met you.
Even though at times I thought I was rushing around on Saturday, and noticed myself a little dry in the mouth from the nerves, it was comforting to see how smoothly the ceremony ran.

 You are too sweet, and once again, thank you for being a part of our beautiful day.

We'll catch up soon, I'm sure. Colleen & Darren.
 

Dearest Michelle,

Mark and I are loving being married and being husband and wife :-) It is different and really nice to finally be a 'family' together.

The time has gone by so fast since we returned home, but we loved every minute of our wedding and our time in Byron. It is a really special place for us and we will be back again soon.

We have spoken many times about how terrific you were, and how you were the perfect celebrant for us and our ceremony. We thank you with all our hearts for all your effort, and the beautiful ceremony you created for us to become a married couple. 

 

People have asked me about our special day, and my reply is always the same - "it was just perfect". Thank you so much for helping us achieve that, and creating the most perfect memorable day ever!

Lots of thanks, appreciation and hugs, Sarsha and Mark Hill xx

 

 

Hi Michelle

Thanks so much for making our day so special. It was everything we could have wished for and more: low-key but important, funny and romantic!

You are known to us and our friends as 'the lovely celebration lady' which I think should be your new title!!!!!! 

Love Cat and Ed..........Mr and Mrs  xxxxxx

 

 

 

Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for being our celebrant.  As I walked down the isle, I must say I was a bit concerned that Nick was going to hyperventilate and pass out!!  But his breathing soon returned to normal thanks to the relaxed,

fun and loving atmosphere you created during our ceremony.  

You captured our personalities to a tee and created a ceremony so special

that we will remember for many years to come.
 So many of our family and friends commented on what an amazing job you did.  We will certainly recommend you to others.
 Thanks again Michelle, you are awesome!!  Hugs xx Tanya & Nicholas

 

 

Dear Michelle

I just wanted to write to you and thank you again for all your kindness, support and help with our wedding. We had the most magical day and so much of it is thanks to you. After our elopement I put together a website for family and friends and posted pictures and the words of the ceremony -

everyone was so enchanted by it all and they all said it was so beautiful,

which Nat and I know it was. 

We truly appreciate you and all you did for us, not only the ceremony but recommending the Villas and John.

Thank you Michelle you were brilliant and we'll never forget you.

Warm regards Veney, Nat, Poppy and bub (due any minute) Hiller

 

Hey michelle,
WOW! Words cannot describe how thankfull Iam to you! The ceremony was absolutely perfect and you did the most amazing job at reading us and our love and putting it together to provide us with the perfect ceremony.

Everyone commented on how lovely and down to earth you were and how lucky we were to find "such an awesome" celebrant who thankfully wasnt wearing a bright green coat and purple hat lol. A few people even thought you were a friend of ours because of how natural you were and how well you seem to know us - including how typical it is for me to have tissue stuck to my face baha. so thankyou so so so so so much and we will have no hesitation (in fact i've already started) in recommending you to everyone and anyone. LOVE YOUR WORK!!
Thanks heaps, Mr & Mrs Millinxxx :)

 

Hi Michelle

We had such a wonderful day, made so special by your gorgeous ceremony. You were a very special part of our day and we'll always remember how lovely the service was. Everyone commented about the service and thought you were brilliant.

The pipers and kilts were certainly special and by the end of the afternoon I don't think there was one guest who hadn't shed a tear or three!
Take care & many thanks,
Edwina & David xx

Hi Michelle! 

We haven't been able to stop reliving our special day!!  Thank you so much for everything, you were amazing!  We had so many people come up to us later on and tell us how fabulous you are at what you do and how perfect the vows were (especially the "time out" bit for Troy!!). You really made the ceremony so personal and it was even better than would have imagined.

 Thanks again and all the best,   Bec & Troy   xx

 

Ben and I both want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work. Neither one of us could believe how at ease and comfortable you made us feel right from our first meeting. You made our day everything we imagined it to be and much more and we truly can't thank you enough!Thanks again!

 

Dear Michelle - We are both so happy to have had you as part of our wedding. 

You made us feel extremely comfortable and set the

perfect mood for a perfect ceremony.

The words you wrote for us will be in

our memories forever and we really

can't thank you enough.

Hope to see you again soon - Chris and Lauren Tarrant xx
