Hey there! I'm Danielle and I've got the BEST job in the world! I ADORE marrying LOVED UP COUPLES, watching my beautiful children grow and buying far too many things I donβt need at Kmart :) Now back to weddings; your ceremony should be an incredible celebration of your relationship, one that leaves both you AND your guests on a high! It's ALWAYS wonderful being told that the ceremony was the best part of the wedding day, as happy couples and happy guests is what it's all about .... it's what makes what I do SO rewarding :)
I work closely with ALL my couples to create and deliver the PERFECT ceremony for them and their vision: PERSONALISED, HEARTFELT and FUN!
I was honoured to perform my 700th wedding at the end of 2022 (woohoo!) and I'm extremely humbled to have been awarded Victorian Celebrant of the Year in 2017, I was voted #1 Female Celebrant for the Brides Choice Awards in 2018 and each year, I continue to be recognised as one of Australiaβs Best Celebrants - as voted by my incredible couples.
With a background in secondary teaching, I'm friendly, enthusiastic, attentive, professional and highly organised. I want this experience to be relaxed and enjoyable for you and I'm committed to making both the lead up to your big day, and your special occasion, the very BEST it can be.
While I'm based in Melbourne, I frequent the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenong Ranges and I'm more than happy to travel to country Victoria, interstate and even overseas!!!
Here's some information about what I offer:
An obligation free meeting where we get to know each other and discuss lots of wonderful ideas for your ceremony.
The preparation and lodgement of all official paperwork.
Unlimited assistance via phone or email.
A rehearsal to put your mind at ease- we go over the finer details eg. timing of processional, positions and movements, all the things that help make a ceremony run flawlessly (the small things make a world of difference).
A decorative certificate for you to keep.
A premium service from beginning to end.
Highly competitive rates - please contact me for my prices.
A state of the art PA system with quality sound- this includes a headset (for me) and wireless microphone (for vows and readings).
For an additional fee, I also offer fun and inexpensive dance lessons (I have over 30 years ballroom dancing experience).
If you think I might be the celebrant for you, please contact me as I'd love for us to have a chat about your special day :)
