Weddings  

To be married is to commit to the deepest relationship two adults can share.

When I think about the many weddings I have performed, what is most inspiring to me is the honesty I hear in people’s voices when they are reciting their vows. You can always hear the love.

That is the common element in all of them. Yet they are also all very different! For each couple must find a ceremony, a set of vows, and a way of expressing those vows, that reflects their own personalities. It can be easy – many couples are quite clear on how they want to celebrate their wedding – but for others there can be uncertainty. Or they simply may not know just how many ways there are to actually tie that knot!

That’s where I come in. My role is to help couples search out the words, perhaps even the setting, that best expresses how they feel about one another. I am able to help with practice services, so that couples feel a sense of security on the all important day when they want everything to go right. And finally, as a registered Civil Celebrant I am legally qualified to marry you according to the laws of Australia.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I would be happy to meet or talk with you.

Testimonial of Elizabeth & Mark

From the first time we contacted Gail, she was welcoming and warm. She wanted to know about us as a couple, and as individuals. In getting to know our story Gail was able to suggest the best way for us to plan our ceremony. Gail's experience in this field was another thing that appealed to us, as she had many examples and ideas to help get us started in planning our special day.

Once we'd met Gail, we had no doubt we were in the best hands. Not only was she warm and caring, but she has a wonderful energy and presence, and a professional manner that allows her to bring a special quality to her ceremonies. Knowing that Gail was taking care of our ceremony was a welcome relief amongst a myriad of nervous jitters and wonderings about how the day will turn out. With Gail we knew we could expect nothing but professionalism.

Testimonial of Tony & Nikki Wilson

Getting married is one of the most important commitments a couple can make in their lives.  When my fiancé Tony and I became engaged, the decision of who to chose for a celebrant was extremely important to us.  This is the person who legally binds you to your partner for life and we felt that our choice of celebrant was integral as we embarked on our journey as husband and wife.

From the first moment of meeting Gail, we knew she was the perfect choice.  As a person, she exudes warmth, sincerity and genuine care.  As a celebrant, she is knowledgable, obliging, and extremely professional.

In the lead up to the ceremony, Gail was always at hand to answer any questions (and I had a few!).  She always made herself available, nothing was ever too much trouble.  The legal facets of our marriage were all handled by Gail, and she assisted us with our vows by providing an abundance of information.  She really made it all so simple and easy for us. Organising a wedding can be stressful at the best of times, but in all our dealings with Gail, everything flowed beautifully.

When our special day arrived, the ceremony was performed with such grace and love by Gail that many of our friends and family made comment on how wonderful she was.  Gail has all the qualities you could hope to find in a celebrant and we are so thankful that we were lucky enough to find this remarkable lady for our special day.

Everything from the 1st meeting with Gail to the day of the wedding was such a pleasure. Her warmth and pleasant personality embraces you. Her experience and her very calming and welcoming voice is very reassuring. Gail had everything under control. Our wedding was made so much easier due to Gail's confidence.

Testimonial of Erin & Scott

One thing we both remember from our wedding day is the number of people who commented on how beautiful our ceremony was. Gail's words were straight from the heart and this meant so much to us and all of our family and friends.

Scott and I travelled all the way from the US for our wedding on Burleigh Headland, and Gail was very helpful in the preparation of our vows even from afar. When we arrived in Australia, she was so accomodating and met with us whenever we needed to ensure everything was perfect for our big day.

Gail is a such a personable, happy and genuinely enthusiastic person! She will guide you in all the big decisions (and the little ones!) you need to make so that your ceremony is elegant, stress-free, and above all, yours to remember forever. Thank you so much Gail, you made our ceremony the perfect start to a lifetime of love!

Testimonial of Jodie & Jason

We hope you are well. This is just a quick note to Thank you for the beautiful ceremony that you performed for our wedding. We were delighted with your work. Many of our guests commented on how lovely you spoke and that it was great that you interacted with everyone. In fact, our wedding coordinator at the Marriott even mentioned that ours was possibly one of the most prefect ceremonies she has witnessed. Thank you, you certainly helped to make our day even more special.

Testimonial of Martyn & Edra

When my husband and I decided to get married we already knew we were going to ask Gail to be our celebrant. We first saw Gail at my sister-in-laws wedding and we were really impressed with the ceremony. We later saw her again at the naming ceremony for our nephew and again were impressed with her personal and endearing touch through all of the ceremonies.

My husband and I have always had a special bond from the moment we met. I truly believe that there is one special person for everyone. In 2008 we chose to get married in October and started the process of planning the biggest day of our lives. We were getting very close to the big day when 8 weeks before the wedding, tragedy struck and I was diagnosed with Leukemia. It was so serious we were not sure if I would have the chance to get married and we had to postpone the wedding. Gail was such a support to us during the difficult time trough all the ups, downs, and treatment. When we finally made it to the other side she was there, ready to marry us. It has been a long and hard road but we are finally husband and wife and we couldn't have done it without Gail.

As you may know the task of planning a wedding is not easy and Gail just seemed to know what to do and say to help make it a much easier event. She was always available to give support and advice where it was needed. She provided ideas for our ceremony to make it unique and special to us, and we incorporated many of those ideas including the traditional Hand-fasting ceremony into our vows. She genuinely cares about each person and continues to keep in touch after the big day. We have nothing but praise for Gail and if you choose her as your celebrant she will only make your special day better.
