You have complete freedom of choice in creating your special ceremony. I have a large selection of ceremony samples, poems, quotes and vows which you can mix and match.

Your input of special ideas and wishes is essential. Together we can work on a personalised and meaningful ceremony which will be a wonderful memory.

You can incorporate rituals such as flower lei exchange, sand layering or involve friends and family. As a couple starting a unique new life together you can enjoy the romance and experience your special day with a simple , stress free and relaxed ceremony in a casual and beautiful setting.

I specialise in tropical beach and garden ceremonies with some of the most spectacular scenery in the world as your backdrop.
