BRIEF • SPIRITUAL • TRADITIONAL • CONTEMPORARY CEREMONIES

No two weddings are alike. Couples expect and want their wedding to be individual and special, and as a professional Celebrant that is exactly what I offer my clients. Interviews are a way of getting to know each other. After all, you need to be relaxed with your Celebrant on your wedding day so you can both feel comfortable and enjoy the greatest day of your life.

This area of the Northern Rivers is famous for its' stunning panoramic coastline. Pristine ocean hugging white sandy beaches.

This area of the Northern Rivers is famous for its' stunning panoramic coastline. Pristine ocean hugging white sandy beaches. Miles and miles of unpolluted ocean and clean beaches, with a unique rainforest hinterland.

Enjoy the magnificent ocean views from the famous Byron Bay lighthouse, or Lighthouse Beach in Ballina, or from your accommodation directly across the road from the beach. Walk to your wedding site, simply by crossing the road.

The quality resorts available all offer accommodation packages for wedding parties. This area is a highly regarded destination for International Tourists, with Ballina Beach being, until now, a well-kept secret.

The world famous hinterland town of Nimbin

Ballina Beach offers a selection of private beach wedding locations, first class wedding Reception venues reasonably priced, and is near the world famous hinterland town of Nimbin, and the up-market beachside village of Lennox Head and the multi-cultural Byron Bay. Visit the Sunday markets, held in a different town each week.

An ideal location for honeymooning couples. The best of both worlds is available with your Ballina Beach wedding.
