Authorised Marriage Celebrant

Wedding Celebrant Camden.jpg

I love everything about weddings! So, I am in the perfect job because I get to go to them all the time! YAY!

With more than 400 weddings (and over 100 other ceremonies) under my belt, I've met lots of families and lots of happy couples who've become good friends over the years ... and I know I have found my true calling.

People are unique and surprising. Everyone has a story that they like to tell and I love hearing them! Are you romantics at heart? Did you bond over your love of food, or your love of the footy? Do you both have a wicked sense of humour? Whether your ceremony is simple and elegant, fun and relaxed, or it has all the bells and whistles, I’ve got you covered. And it definitely won’t be boring because we will work together to create something that will delight you and your guests.

If I sound like the right Celebrant for you, contact me now. I would love to be a part of your special day!

Here are some things you may need to know about me (and my 'roadie'): Dusty the border collie and Louis XIV poodle cross are our fur-children; we have two sons, aged 33 and 35 (they’ve moved out so now it’s all about the dogs!); I love a good Karaoke night; I used to host Trivia Nights (that came in handy as an MC during COVID!); I was a tap dancer in my youth and I’ve still got my medals; I know all the words to Bohemian Rhapsody; I can drive an automatic, four on the floor, and three on the tree; I’ve never had to change a flat tyre (someone always pulls over to do it for me); I thought I would have won Lotto by now?; I choose 'History' or 'Arts & Literature' when I play Trivial Pursuit; I sheared a sheep in Scotland; we rode the 'Tequila Express' in Mexico; we were married by Elvis in Vegas; I always leave room for dessert; and I don’t do windows!

Wedding Ceremony

I honestly believe that your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Whether it's your first or your third, you should consider it a new beginning and you should mark this new beginning with a ceremony that reflects your true selves ... and I just love writing ceremonies that make people smile.

 

I will work with you to craft a personal ceremony that covers the legal requirements but also allows you both to be 'you'. So now you can just relax and enjoy your day, knowing that this part of your wedding is taken care of!

 

I offer several packages for you to choose from and an option for you to hold an intimate ceremony in my beautiful garden located in Glen Alpine NSW.

Bendooley Estate, Berrima

Del was amazing to work with, she created our ceremony to fit our vision and that was to include our mothers in our ceremony. A lot of our guests said their favourite part of the day was our ceremony; it was personal and loving (a lot of people cried) 🤍 Del is super friendly, structured and accommodating. I’m so glad I had her as our celebrant, she made it perfect for us. I would highly recommend Del to any couple who is looking for reliable and fun celebrant. Thank you so much Del, it’s been great working with you 💕

Del is the loveliest person you will ever meet. I hate public speaking so was absolutely dreading standing up in front of everyone and speaking, but she made us both feel so comfortable and we had lots of laughs. The ceremony included a couple of jokes that really reflected who we are as a couple and made everyone giggle. Which was great. The whole process was extremely easy and stress free. She even lodged our paperwork for us and had the certificate sent out. We love Del, cannot recommend her enough!

From the moment I met Del I knew she was the right celebrant for us. She was professional and organised from beginning to end, yet also fun and relaxed. Anything we wanted wasn’t a problem. We didn’t want too much traditional talk in our ceremony and wanted to keep it fun which she did. Nothing was a problem and when we weren’t sure about something she suggested many options which was great as that helped make our ceremony exactly what we wanted. She calmed the nerves of my fiancé who was waiting for me down the aisle and guided us through the ceremony every step of the way. I highly recommend Del ❤️
