As a full-time celebrant, making happy memories is my job.

I'll listen to you and work with you to make that moment exactly the way you want it. As for pricing, I'm somewhere in the middle, meaning you get dedicated, personalised service, minus the expensive keepsakes.

“Candice was the perfect mix of professionalism and fun.
I have received so many comments from guests about how impressed they were.
We had a slight hiccup as our 3-year-old ring boy
managed to lose the rings in the grass on the aisle.
Candice remained professional, yet added her own
funky twist to the chaos and they were found promptly.
We loved having Candice for our celebrant
and would highly recommend her again and again.”

— Robert & Kara (September 2025)
