Hi there!
I’m Nell. Fourteen years producing radio taught me how to hold a room and write words that sound like you, not a script. Now I’m a Brunswick celebrant who writes every ceremony from scratch, handles the legal side properly, and drives a long way for a good view.
And (my partner keeps count) I’ve cried at every single one.

Ceremonies already booked. Marry near one that month and the travel is on me.
Home base: Brunswick, Victoria
The boring but important bit: I’m a Commonwealth registered marriage celebrant. I do the training the law asks of me every year and keep up with every change to the Marriage Act. I lodge your paperwork with Births, Deaths and Marriages within 14 days. Every time.

Next steps
Say hello
Tell me your date, a rough location and how you met. I check the date is free and reply within two working days.
Let’s have coffee
Or tea, on me, in Brunswick or on a video call. No obligation. If we suit each other, a $300 deposit holds your date.
Slay the paperwork monster
Your Notice of Intended Marriage reaches me at least a month, and no more than 18 months, before the day. I check your documents and meet each of you on your own, as the law asks.
Enjoy the ride
I write, you read, we fix the lines that don’t sound like you. On the day I arrive early, we say the words, you sign, and I lodge it all within 14 days.
