Hi, I'm Lisa

Hello and thanks for stopping by! Let me tell you a little about me.

I love a good story. In fact every job I have ever done to date has been fuelled by story. And the very best stories of all are those about Love. Hence why the job of wedding celebrant is me in my element!

As an actor, storytelling is my life blood. Years of training and experience in how to gently guide the atmosphere in a room, how to skilfully use voice, body and expression to ensure everyone is with you and the story you are telling.

As a business owner, i love weaving together plans and projects and people into organised chapters of each month of the year to keep the action flowing.

As a confidence and presentation coach, I encourage people to understand what their own voice and body is giving off, in order to tell (and sell) their own authentic stories.

And as a writer, I want to engage, enthral and enthuse my readers by carefully and cleverly using words to build a brilliant story.

But it is in my role as a wedding celebrant where all of these skills come together and allow me to make it all about you and your magical day.

Your wedding ceremony should never feel like the bit to 'get done' before you get to the real party. Your ceremony is the ignition, setting the tone and the beautiful moment where all of your favourite people are in a room together for the very first time in your lives and they are listening to a story. Your story. And it is pure magic.

Fancy chatting about you and your story? Feel free to send me a message, Im dying to hear all the craic!

Lisa, where do we start..from initially getting in contact with you, we just felt like you got 'us', you took time to get to know Josh, myself & our story.

We just think fate brought us together & it was completely meant to be.

You spent so much time on curating the most personal ceremony for Josh & I, what made it extra special is you had our wedding soundtrack playing in the background in the lead up to the wedding. These little details did not go unnoticed.

You listened to us, our vision and beautifully incorporated our values, personality, our love for family and friends into our ceremony. It was also important to us to include places of significance, and it was done so perfectly with our sand blending ceremony, which so many guests commented on.

On our day you were such a calming influence on us both and had a lovely presence. Other vendors have since told us about your professionalism and how you arrived in great time to rehearse our ceremony.

We honestly want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕 we will be forever grateful for such a beautiful ceremony that truly captured 'us'.

— All our love, Mr & Mrs Ferguson 🥂🥰🤍

"We chose Lisa for her clear passion and confidence that shone through from the first introductory meeting. With her help, we were able to craft the sort of ceremony we wanted, and deliver it on the day in such an eloquent and calm manner. When we brought stress, she offered reassurance. When we brought a last minute change, she brought understanding and a willingness to make it work. And it all came together for a beautiful Ceremony. Thank you so much Lisa."

— Alex and Kevin
