Areas Covered

 

I perform ceremonies principally in the following areas:

Melbourne City Central District, incorporating the various beautiful Melbourne City Gardens, Hotels, Clubs, and Tourist Attractions such as the Melbourne Zoo, Polly Woodside, Maritime Museum adjacent to the Crown Casino Complex and also the Botanical Gardens, Catani Gardens beside the seaside in St. Kilda, and also at Historical houses such as Como Gardens and Ripponlea Estate. All are popular wedding venues.

As you wind your way from the City toward the East and Outer Eastern Metropolitan suburbs, there are many attractive garden settings, hotels, clubs, and Chapels in places such as Hawthorn, Kew, Eltham, Warrandyte, Ringwood, Croydon and Lilydale. All supply suitable venue choices for your celebration on your special day.

The Yarra Ranges taking in the Yarra Valley and Mystic Mountains where you will find the Healesville Sanctuary. The Sanctuary features all sorts of Australian Native Animals and Birds in natural surroundings. The Yarra Valley Wineries, including Kellybrook, De Bortoli, Ferguson, Yering, Eyton on Yarra, McWilliams Lilydale and Bianchets to name just a few. Other highlights of this Beautiful Mountain Range area are the Stevenson's Falls at Marysville, Badger Creek Weir at Healesville and many other picturesque places at Yarra Glen, Healesville, Marysville, Warburton and surrounding areas, all with suitable venues for weddings and other celebrations.

The beautiful Dandenong Ranges, with its' lush fern gullies and towering trees, Wineries, Restaurants, Chapels, Hotels, The Puffing Billy Steam Train, Avalon Castle at Cockatoo and Camelot Castle at Yellingbo amongst all this natural flora, manicured gardens and quaint towns make for ideal locations for your ceremony on your special day.

Weddings can be performed at any time during the day, evening or night. It can be an early morning hot air balloon ride or a surprise wedding for the guests in the evening. A small wedding can be as few as five people (bride, groom, two witnesses and the celebrant). Many weddings are conducted in private homes for intimacy and cost saving.
