Every couple’s journey is unique — and the way you choose to celebrate it should be too.
From the moment your ceremony begins, it’s not about performance or theatrics. It’s about feeling seen. It’s about your story — told from both perspectives, thoughtfully woven together into something personal, heartfelt, and one-of-a-kind. The kind of storytelling that brings out laughter, emotion, surprise, and the unmistakable sense that this moment truly reflects who you are.
My goal is to have you and your guests feel included in the emotion and energy of the moment. They’ll be drawn in by the storytelling, unexpectedly laughing, maybe even tearing up, and often walking away thinking, “That was so them.” It’s about captivating everyone, not just you.
No matter which experience you choose, what unfolds will feel calm, connected, and effortless.
A Taste of the Experience.

The Signature Ceremony Experience
Your ceremony should be one of the most meaningful parts of your wedding day — not just something to get through, but something to savour. With years of experience and a warm, confident approach, I’ll take you and your guests on a journey through your relationship: how you met, the milestones you’ve shared, and the unique love that’s brought you here.
Through storytelling that brings laughter, happy tears, and those beautiful ‘that’s so them!’ moments. I aim to make your ceremony feel like a treasured chapter of your day, making it the kind of ceremony where everyone’s fully present, fully engaged — and it feels like I’ve known you for years.
This experience is designed for couples who want to invest a little time with me into planning a ceremony that feels lighthearted, romantic, emotionally rich — and most of all, unmistakably you.
The Signature MC Experience
For couples who want their reception to feel polished, relaxed, and full of energy — without the stress.
Guests will feel welcomed and connected, speeches will flow effortlessly, and the dance floor will open with excitement. Behind the scenes, your vendors will be kept in the loop and supported, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
Before the big day, you’ll have a one-on-one planning meeting designed to bring your ideas to life and ensure the reception reflects your personalities — not a generic runsheet. You’ll feel guided, heard, and supported as your timeline is shaped around what matters most to you.
You’ll be in experienced hands, allowing you, your family, and your friends to soak it all in — without a single worry about what’s happening next.
The Short & Sweet Experience
For couples who want the ease of preparation but still a deeply meaningful ceremony.
This experience is all about capturing the essence of your love story in a short and sweet way, leaving space for your vows to shine and your moment to feel relaxed and true to you. The Short & Sweet ceremony is perfect for couples who are a little more reserved, don't have an extensive guest list, or maybe they don’t feel the need for lengthy planning meetings, and simply want to hand things over to a celebrant they trust.
Even though this one’s short and sweet, it’s still completely personalised and filled with heart — a warm, easygoing experience that will leave you and your guests feeling connected, supported, and truly ready for a celebration.
The Co-Pilot Experience
Your chosen friend or family member delivers the ceremony, and I manage all the legal requirements — plus provide your stand-in celebrant with resources, guidance, and reassurance so everything flows the way it should. You’ll feel relaxed, supported, and fully free to enjoy the moment, knowing the emotion is authentic and the legalities are handled professionally.
The Legal-Only Marriage
A simple, low-key way to legally marry — Elegant, no fuss, just the essential legal words and marriage documents.
This experience is perfect for couples who just want the paperwork done without a full ceremony. You can choose to include a short personal reflection (written by you), personal vows, or keep it strictly legal.
We'll meet locally in Pokolbin or it's surrounds for a quick yet meaningful moment to make it official.
MC + On-the-Day Coordination Upgrade
For couples who want someone with knowledge and experience guiding the energy, timing, and guest experience — especially if planning the flow of the day feels overwhelming or time-consuming.
This upgrade is perfect for couples who don’t have the mental bandwidth to map out a detailed runsheet, juggle on-the-day vendor needs, or come up with the tiny considerations that make a day flow effortlessly. I step in with clarity, structure, and experience to help build a thoughtful timeline — one that reflects your priorities, your personalities, and the atmosphere you want to create.
On the day, I become the calm point person your vendors and guests can turn to. From ceremony transitions to reception formalities and that all-important first dance, I help ensure everything unfolds smoothly, naturally, and on time.
You’ll feel completely supported knowing that the logistics, timing, and flow are taken care of — so you can simply be present and enjoy the celebration you worked so hard to plan.
Ash was the most incredible celebrant and MC for our special day.
From the first point of contact to checking in the week after the wedding, Ash was always warm, responsive and professional. We had no concerns with Ash coordinating our day, everything was under control from visiting us before the ceremony to giving us a hug goodbye once the dancefloor had started.
There was a slight health hiccup on the day and Ash made sure this did not affect our timeline, good vibes or guests' experience in the slightest whilst keeping calm and ensuring we were looked after.
As celebrant and MC, Ash perfectly lead both occasions and nailed our brief. We are so grateful to have found Ash and she was a massive part of making our wedding day so special.
We would recommend her to anyone!
Thanks again Ash for everything!
