  • Ceremony Perfection

    It's my passion to create a wedding ceremony that is completely and uniquely you. Reflecting exactly who you two are as a couple - best friends, partners and soul mates. This is a customised and personalised package to create the ceremony you have envisioned.

  • MC

    Gone are the days when family, friends and invited guests are put to work at weddings. The MC role is a big one, and one that should be entrusted to a professional, not one of your invited guests who are there to celebrate you.

    Assistance with the transition post-ceremony through to pre-party so we stick to the clock

    Most important, the hosting your reception! I will ensure the vibe is exactly what you are after, the momentum keeps pace, and everyone is having a spectacular time

    Facilitate and manage the formalities including warming up the crowd, housekeeping and announcements, introducing speakers, telegrams, toasts, cake cutting, first dance until the end of formalities

    Be the point-of-contact for all your vendors so they stay informed, fed and watered and you can sit back, relax and concentrate on having fun together
