My story
More than a ceremony,
it’s your love story
I’m passionate about creating heartfelt, personal ceremonies that celebrate love, honour lives, welcome new beginnings and create beautiful memories to treasure.
Your story, celebrated your way
I’m Julie, a full time Authorised Marriage and Funeral Celebrant, and I feel incredibly lucky to do something I genuinely love. For me, being a Celebrant is so much more than just a job, it’s about telling your story, creating a ceremony that feels truly personal and leaving you and your loved ones with beautiful memories to treasure.
And by my side, at every wedding, is my husband and best friend, Keith, my soulmate and the love of my life. We’ve been married for 44 years, so I know just how precious love, friendship, laughter and the little moments are. Together, we make a wonderful team. I create and lead your ceremony, while Keith is my ‘Roadie’, taking care of the music, sound and all those little behind the scenes details that help everything run smoothly.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, we feel privileged every time we’re invited to be part of someone’s love story, and we’d love the opportunity to tell yours.

My values
What Matters to Me
I believe that every ceremony should be as unique as the person, couple or family at its heart. There is no “one size fits all” ceremony, because every story is different, and every story matters.
It’s About the People
Whether I’m celebrating a couple in love, welcoming a precious new little person, celebrating a milestone birthday or saying goodbye to someone dearly loved, it is always about the people. I take the time to listen, to learn what makes you who you are, and to include the people and memories that matter most.
Listen. Care. Create.
I believe in listening, really listening. It’s how I discover the little stories, the funny moments, the treasured memories and the things that might otherwise be left unsaid. From those conversations, I create a ceremony that feels personal, genuine and completely yours.
Love Never Goes Away
For me, love is at the heart of everything I do. It is there when two people promise to spend their lives together, when a family welcomes a new little person, when a couple looks back on the years they have shared, and when we gather to say farewell to someone we love. Life changes, people leave us, and chapters come to an end, but love never dies.
Your love story
Your Love Story Matters
Whether I’m standing beside you to celebrate love, welcome a new little life, mark a special milestone or say farewell to someone dearly loved, I feel privileged to be part of your story.
Because ceremonies are about so much more than words spoken on a day. They are about love, memories, family and the moments that become part of us forever.
I would be honoured to help you tell your Love Story.
