Hi I'm Paula

I am an Authorised Celebrant, I received my registration in 2024. I live in Regional NSW, I have been with my amazing husband for 27 years and we have been married for 22 of those years. Our story would see us raise our 2 beautiful now adult children on a farm where we made many crazy but fun memories together. As a parent one of the days you dream of for your kids is their wedding day. We got to share In celebrating our daughter’s wedding in 2024 and what an amazing day it was, and yes it would be my husband who would shed the most tears.

As you bring your dream day to light, my role in your special day is to showcase how simple, creative, fun or elegant as you want it to be.

The telling of your love story is the highlight of the day. You and your guests will share tears of happiness, echos of laughter and you will see aisles of smiles. I want you and your loved ones to have the most fabulous time.

Always remember I am here to support you throughout the whole process,

Why not add a champagne tower to your ceremony

1. It Creates a Powerful “Just Married” Moment

A champagne tower turns the exact moment you’re pronounced married into a shared celebration. Pouring the first bottle together symbolises unity, partnership, and a future that overflows—literally and figuratively. It’s a beautiful transition from ceremony to celebration.

2. It’s Visually Stunning

Champagne towers look incredible. The cascading bubbles, crystal glassware, and elegant movement create a show‑stopping visual that elevates your ceremony and photographs. It adds a sense of luxury and intention without saying a word.

3. Perfect for Photos & Video

The moment you pour the champagne is dynamic, emotional, and full of movement—making it ideal for photographers and videographers. It captures laughter, connection, and genuine joy in a way few ceremony moments do.

4. It Feels Luxurious but Personal

Whether your wedding is intimate or grand, a champagne tower adds an elevated touch while still feeling personal and interactive. It’s elegant without being stuffy, celebratory without being over-the-top.

Marriage definitely has a nice ring to it💍

I offer 3 Marriage Ceremonies:- personalise your vision to reflect your story, making beautiful memories:

  • Simple Legal requirements only

  • Elopement

  • Full Ceremony

  • Vow Renewals - celebrate your milestones

  • Committment Ceremonies - making a promise to your one and only,

  • Naming Ceremonies - Add some creativity to make the naming of your child meaningful, why not add a little fun.

Every ceremony is uniquely created to reflect each individuals personality and it should be everything you’ve ever hoped for.

There are so many different rituals you can introduce to your service as a little something special. Below are some ideas:

  • Release of butterflies: is associated with love, hope, beauty, and the start of a new journey as a married couple

  • Garland exchange: representing acceptance and respect, both sides of the family begin to exchange garlands with each other

  • Blanket wrap: this involves wrapping a quilt around the newlyweds' shoulders to symbolize warmth and togetherness as they take on the future together.

  • Tying the knot: the bride and groom tie a fisherman's knot together with a ribbon to symbolize a bond that becomes stronger under pressure

  • Jumping the broom: celebrate unity, this act represents a "brushing away" of the past to start the marriage fresh.

  • Candle lighting: symbolizes unity, the bride and groom each hold a lit candle and combine their flames to light a third, larger candle

  • Ring warming: this is where parents or guests warm the ring to infuse in the rings love and blessings and good luck for your marriage.
