Incorporating Pet Ceremonies -    celebrate their life

Your ceremony should reflect the love, meaning and promises you make to each other, as you embark on your new life together.

Therefore your ceremony should be as individual as you are.

I look forward to meeting up with you to discuss your thoughts and ideas.

Your ceremony can be -

• small
• large
• simple
• a total reflection of you
• traditional or
• non-traditional.

It is only limited by your own imagination and desires.

I am there to help/support and guide you, buffer the stress and take care of the legalities and lodgment of the official documentation.

Our first meeting is obligation free.

Please see below for more information.
 

What you should expect from a Marriage Celebrant

• Professionalism/Legality of Paperwork
• Sensitivity and Understanding of your Requests
• Reliability and Attention to Detail
• Flexibility to Deliver your Day, your Way
• Spontaneity to Make your Ceremony as Individual as You are

Date, Time and Venue

We will discuss these details at our first meeting. We will also explore an alternative venue to cope effortlessly with any weather change. Rain and weather conditions can play a big part in the success of your day, so we will need to consider other arrangements to make the day one to be treasured always.

Here are some more testimonials

"Sue-Anne was our Celebrant for our son Ashton's Naming Day. Her commitment and passion from the first initial meeting was fantastic and carried through for all the planning of our son's special day.

Sue-Anne made the whole experience one to treasure rather than stress about. Although we lived in a separate city, and the naming was held at our family home in Brisbane, Sue-Anne was always available to discuss our ideas through phone and email.

Thank you Sue-Anne, your warm and considerate nature made for a very successful day full of memories that we will hold close to our hearts for years to come."

Cassandra and Terry Frier - Townsville

"On a very sad occasion, Sue-Anne's dignity, sensitivity and understanding eased the pain and loss we felt. Her compassion allowed us to mourn as a family knowing she was taking care of everything for us. Thank you for such a heart-felt and memorable ceremony Sue-Anne."

T. & E. - Cornubia

"Thanks Sue-Anne for a fantastic day. The planning was fun, the ceremony was just beautiful and the memories will be treasured always. We have given your name to friends."

A little bit about myself

As a mother and grandmother, I believe in the strong bonds of family life. The love and support of family and friends is very important.

I believe that you only get out of life what you put into it.

My volunteer work at the Mater Mothers' Hospital as a Cuddle Mum, nursing and looking after the gorgeous little premature babies in the Special Care Nursery, is an absolute joy.

I have also represented the Mater Fundraising Foundation as a guest speaker to raise money for the Cord Blood Bank at the Mater Children's Hospital. Speaking to guests about my volunteer roles originally as a Patient Buddy, and now as a Cuddle Mum, makes them aware of the wonderful work going on to help the children affectionately known as the "Mater Little Miracles". Their response and generous support helps continue the good work.

As a passionate animal lover supporting many animal organizations on a regular basis, I wanted to include in my list of ceremonies a service for other animal lovers to celebrate the life of their pet.
