I care about you and what you want and will listen to every detail of your ideas and dreams for your special day. If you are not sure what you want, I can provide you with a wealth of ideas and suggestions. If you come from different cultures or religious traditions I can blend these and incorporate any other special sub-ceremonies.

I am a member of the Professional Celebrants Association Inc. The association is a self-regulated professional body which sets standards for best-practice and fosters professionalism in celebrancy.The association has a detailed and stringent code to ensure that PCA members strive to uphold high standards of professional and ethical conduct and support the ideals of the celebrant profession.

Testimonial Leisha & Jeff Woody Point Redcliffe
Marilyn, as you know our little man was diagnosed with a kidney disease only weeks prior to our wedding. My focus was moved from planning a wedding to getting our little man well. Thank you for giving me a sense of peace in an otherwise stressful time. I remember scouring the websites wondering how I was going to select a celebrant for our wedding. I came across your picture and I was instantly drawn to you, I didn't even get Jeff's opinion, I was that confident in my choice. I knew our ceremony would be beautiful and unique under your care. From the first time I spoke to you, you put me at ease.You understand what an important and unique role you have in a lifetime of precious memories and do it so beautifully. Thank you for helping make our day unique and special to us (not a cookie cutter ceremony) it was above and beyond our expectations, every little detail was perfect. Our family and friends commented on how beautiful our ceremony was, especially the special touch of the family ceremony with our children Lilliana and Maddox.
To say you have a passion for what you do is an understatement, it is obvious you have found your calling. You are a special lady with a beautiful soul. I look forward to using you again in 10 years for the re affirmation of our vows maybe in Fiji this time (nudge nudge) All our love the Pacey family.

I perform ceremonies in Brisbane and the Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia. I conduct ceremonies on a regular basis from Byron Bay in Northern Rivers region of NSW Brisbane and surrounds up to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I am happy to travel Australia wide to perform ceremonies.

Call me on 0413 344 134 for information and to see if I have availability on your ceremony date. I offer, at no cost, an obligation-free meeting at my home, your home or a venue of your choice to discuss your vision for your perfect day. You can also email me or use the Contact Me page.

A Lifetime of Experience
I have a lifetime of experience in public speaking, creative writing, dramatic performance, mime and direction, event management, community engagement with a variety of roles, communication, tourism, lecturing & training. My work and life experiences have given me a raft of skills and knowledge. I have unbounded enthusiasm, a bubbly expressive personality, emotional intelligence and spiritual senstivity and awareness and I am guided strongly by my intuition.

A Lifetime of Travel for Work and Adventure
I have travelled the world for work and pleasure and bring those amazing experiences to you in unique and special sub ceremonies. I also specialise in spiritual conscious sacred weddings.(not religious). I studied a variety of Asian traditions and religions at university.
I am adventurous, curious and intrigued by different cultures and their traditions. I have travelled alone and independently to Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and Belize in Central America and USA and Canada, Greece, Germany, Italy Holland, Spain, France, England, Austria, and Thailand and travelled with friends and family to Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Nepal and New Zealand and many Pacific Islands. I worked in Numbulwar a remote settlement with traditional Aboriginal people in South Eastern Arhemn Land in the Northern Territory for three years and also in the United States for a year on a cultural exchange in a small community in North Carolina .

My Personal Interests
My passions all involve elements of creativity, dancing in many styles including Lindyhop Salsa Rock & Roll Ballroom, Acting in Theatrical Productions Drama Comedy Pantomime and Mime, World and local Travel, Community Development, Art - Sculpture, Painting and Graphic Design, Bushwalking, Scuba Diving (I have my advanced certificate if you would like an underwater wedding), Kayaking, Swimming and making my home an Oasis of Peace, Tranquility and Happiness from the hustle and bustle of the busy outside world.

Why I Chose to Become a Marriage Celebrant
I became a marriage celebrant because I found it such a buzz writing my own magical, fun and totally unique conscious wedding ceremony. My husband and I are two people who joined together on a journey of growth. Our love and trust keeps us together, our intuition guides us. We consult with each other, we are friends, we laugh a lot and we are equals who care as much about each other as ourselves!

I strive to find the beauty and majesty in life, every moment of every day. When we work together, I look to capture your inner essence and guide you to express those qualities in your ceremony. Communicate your dreams to me and together we will bring them to life, capturing them in the magic of ritual.
