About
Let's create an awesome wedding ceremony together that will be the highlight of your day.
Hey, I’m Julie, though most people know me as the Irish celebrant. Some stereotypes are true: I’m known for doing a little shot of whiskey before every ceremony. I’m a Dublin girl with a huge love for good stories, travel, psychology, inclusivity, and creating moments that genuinely connect.
I’m a Newcastle and Hunter Valley celebrant who believes ceremonies should be meaningful and memorable. Think heartfelt storytelling, belly laughs, happy tears, beautiful energy, and a ceremony that actually feels good to stand through. I know that for a lot of people, having all eyes on them can feel a little uncomfortable, so I’ve got plenty of strategies to help you feel relaxed so that you can actually enjoy the ceremony.
I bring the organisation skills too, guiding you through the whole process with lots of ideas, suggestions, and reassurance along the way. I’ll help shape a ceremony that feels natural and completely true to you, not awkward or over-the-top.
My ceremonies are known for being personal and emotionally engaging. I love getting to know my couples properly — the quirks, the backstory, the little details that make your relationship yours — because that’s where the magic lives. I want your guests saying, “That was SO them.”
I’m also passionate about creating inclusive ceremonies for all identities, cultures, and neurotypes. I offer bilingual ceremonies, love incorporating meaningful modern rituals and personal touches, and encouraging guest participation so your guests feel like they’re part of the experience, not just witnessing it.
When I’m not marrying legends in love, you’ll usually find me roller-skating, listening to podcasts, or trying to convince myself I enjoy meditation.
If you’re after a celebrant who feels more like a supportive friend with a microphone than a stranger reading from a script, we’ll probably get along very well.

Best wedding tip
My best wedding tip is to have a well thought-out timeline. The magic of a great ceremony and wedding day is that it feels easy and unhurried, and that only really happens when there’s a bit of structure behind the scenes. A good timeline gives everyone breathing space, keeps things flowing, and means you’re not constantly watching the clock or feeling rushed from one moment to the next. But it’s equally important that it has flexibility built in. Weddings are emotional, things shift, people linger, hugs take longer than expected — and that’s all part of it. A timeline should support the day, not control it. When it’s done well, no one even notices it’s there… they just feel like everything happened at exactly the right pace.
My favourite thing about weddings is...
when people cry —in that beautiful, human, emotional kind of way. I love ceremonies where people feel something. The best weddings, to me, aren’t the perfectly polished ones where everyone stays composed the whole time. They’re the ones where people laugh loudly, tear up unexpectedly, squeeze each other’s hands, and walk away feeling genuinely moved. I’m always a little disappointed if nobody cries because it usually means everyone stayed on the surface. A wedding ceremony is one of the rare moments in life where people pause long enough to really reflect on love, commitment, family, history, growth, and connection. That deserves emotion. I love creating ceremonies that feel relaxed and natural while still carrying emotional depth — the kind where the couple feel completely seen, and the guests feel like they’ve shared in something meaningful rather than just watched a formal tradition unfold.
