Why choose me as your celebrant?

Choosing a celebrant offers several unique benefits that can make your ceremony more personal, meaningful, and memorable. Many people opt for a celebrant for their special occasions to allow them personalisation, flexibility and inclusivity.

My name is Ros and I have had a varied journey through my career, including working in advertising, wedding and event planning and television.

When I worked in the wedding and hospitality industry I was lucky enough to meet many people at important points in their life and be able to help them make those moments special and memorable in the way they envisaged them.

When my own mom passed away, I decided it was time to do something I really loved so studied to become a celebrant. Now I can offer those services bespokely at a time and a place to suit you, tailored perfectly to your needs, with sincerity, empathy and care.
