Absolute Celebracy

Background

Although I aspired for many years to be a Civil Celebrant, various business interests made an appointment impossible. After relinquishing all those activities, my long-held wish to help others mark the important milestones of life, recently became a reality

The career that delayed my appointment was also a wonderful preparation. Over several decades in the hospitality industry, I owned a catering company, restaurants and function centres. This gave me a deep understanding of the very occasions that I now participate in as a Celebrant

As a fluent Italian speaker, I can act as interpreter or conduct any ceremony in English, Italian or both. Being Italian-born, I understand the particular needs and challenges facing overseas couples wishing to marry in Australia
