The Love Of Two People Will Echo
Throughout The Universe

As your celebrant, I consult with you to create a ceremony that mirrors your beliefs, values, ideals, personalities and interests. I capture you as individuals and as a couple. I listen to your vision for your perfect day. I create a ceremony that feels natural and meaningful for you both and reflects the life you choose to live together, forever.
Your ceremony will be as creative, unique and special as you are, whether it is your wedding, a baby naming, to renew your vows or a commitment to your life partner. Your civil ceremony could be relaxed and informal, or you may choose to do a traditional style ceremony or an original ceremony that captures your personalities and interests.
Marilyn wrote an original ceremony for us that really portrayed us as individuals and as a couple. Right from the first contact she was helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us! We felt like we had known her for years. Marilyn incorporated a Sand Ceremony into our Wedding Ceremony and it made our son really feel part of the ceremony. In the Ring Exchange she suggested we give him a present and devised some great wording and vows that included him too! Everyone at the ceremony was really choked up with emotion as Marilyn performed the ceremony and then just as tears would well up she would make a light hearted comments and everyone laughed and it broke the tension. All our guests commented what a touching and beautiful ceremony we had. We would both like to thank Marilyn for making our Wedding unforgettable!

Civil Ceremonies can cement the bonds of love and family and include the special people in your life, creating a wonderful sense of occasion.

A Baby or Child Naming is a civil ceremony held in place of a religious ceremony. It can be a very special way of celebrating your child's birth and welcoming the baby into the family. It can also give you the opportunity to declare, before family and friends, your promise to strive to be the best parent that you can. Your adult friends or relatives can also pledge their special relationship with your child.

I want to thank you for the professional way you conducted the Naming Day Ceremony for my granddaughter Tia Jayne Austin. You worked closely with her parents in preparing the ceremony so it reflected their true feelings and wishes. It was a very happy and emotional day for all of us.
Sincerely, Gloria Austin - Testimonial

From the day we first met Marilyn she was very warm and extremely helpful. She went above and beyond to create a personal and intimate ceremony for my daughters naming day. She listened to our ideas and used those to draft a beautiful and magical reading that we will hold in our hearts for a long time. On the day she was friendly and outgoing to all our family and friends. Marilyn spoke really well throughout the reading and there were many positive feedbacks from my family. We will use Marilyn in the future! and recommend others too!

"We had no idea of what had to be done for a wedding so the emails and phone calls from Marilyn were really helpful as we were planning long distance from Darwin. When we met Marilyn face to face it was fantastic, it really helped to calm our nerves. It was really nice to meet Marilyn. She gave us a Wedding Resource Pack and heaps of choices in her online resources that we were happy with. The ceremony was perfect and we felt really comfortable with Marilyn. The length of the ceremony was perfect and the ceremony booklets she made for us were gorgeous, we loved them! The wedding fees were excellent and affordable. Ben and I would like to thank Marilyn for taking photos with my camera and her husband for videoing the entire ceremony and editing it as a gift to us".

Handfasting Wedding Ceremony Mt Crosby Brisbane

Marilyn, we both want to thank you for helping to make our wedding everything we ever dreamt of. Right from the start when we saw your photo on your website we knew you were the right celebrant for us! You made us feel so comfortable and relaxed when we visited you offering us oodles of advice and information. We really liked the way you respected our ideas and our vision and found the perfect way to express it for us! You wove our story into a ceremony that reflected US and our love for each other exactly! On the day your delivery of the ceremony was so calm, clear and energetic. Our wedding ceremony was delivered with love and was so touching that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Your advice on staying present and focusing on each other helped us to take in all that was happening so we could really enjoy the moment. I would recommend you to other couples in a heartbeat!

The handfasting cord was hand woven by the Women Shaman of the Island of the Moon in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia.

Know that it is here that you begin your journey of life shared, bound together by the vows of this handfasting rite. Many are the years that you will share, and countless the moons to watch.
