My celebration of life ceremonies create a relaxed, comfortable space where family and friends can gather to share stories, laugh, cry, and truly celebrate the unique individual your loved one was. These casual, heartfelt ceremonies focus on the joy and personality of your loved one, create space for authentic sharing and connection, provide a comfortable alternative to formal funeral settings, and allow for personalisation that truly reflects the individual.

Whether you're looking for a backyard gathering, a favourite local park, a meaningful location, or any space that holds special memories, I'll help you create a ceremony that feels right for your situation. Every life deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to those who knew them best.

As an experienced marriage celebrant now offering celebration of life ceremonies, I bring compassion, understanding, and a gentle guiding hand to help you navigate this difficult time. Based in the beautiful Macedon Ranges, I'm happy to travel throughout Victoria to help families create meaningful farewell experiences and memorial services.

Typically, the process begins with an initial consultation where we'll discuss your loved one and your vision, followed by personalised planning to incorporate meaningful stories, music, readings, and rituals that truly reflect their life. I'll guide you on ways family and friends can participate and offer advice on selecting the perfect location while handling logistics to ensure everything flows smoothly. 

On the day itself, I'll facilitate a warm, genuine celebration that honours your loved one while creating a supportive space for grief, remembrance, and even moments of laughter when appropriate.
