"Claire was the consummate professional, with panache and sparkle. She worked with us to tailor the ceremony into something personal, meaningful and fun! Her timing was spot on, as was her sense of sincerity. It wouldn't be a Claire ceremony without a few good laughs to put the crowd at ease either. So many guests told us how they loved the 'priestess'. Would highly recommend Claire to anyone - she was just brilliant."
Martine & Paul
"Claire made our wedding day truly unforgettable with her warm and engaging presence. Her ability to blend our Western and Hindu traditions seamlessly and her personal touch made the ceremony feel incredibly special and uniquely ours. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful celebrant to guide us through such an important moment in our lives."
Robbie & Kavya
“Claire was an absolute gem as our wedding celebrant! From our initial consultation to the final vows, Claire made the entire process feel effortless and special. Her warm and engaging presence set the perfect tone for our ceremony, blending humour and sincerity in just the right measure."

Services
All my ceremonies are individually crafted so no day is like another. Whether you want something low-key, high-key, fuss-free or with all the bells and whistles, we'll find something to suit you.
We'll start with an obligation-free video call over zoom or google meet to get to know each other and run you through what's required for your upcoming ceremony. Then, if you like what you see, we will take it from there!
What does working with me look like?
In most cases, the minimum notice I require to prepare a ceremony is 3 months from the date of your event. In many countries (in particular, Australia) you'll need to provide an 'intent to marry' or a notice of intended marriage form (AUS) to me no later than one month prior to your ceremony day. All other paperwork and processing of marriage documents is handled by me.

Meet me over video call or in person to learn what's involved and determine if we are a good match for your ceremony! If yes, I will send you a service agreement with all costs outlined and invoice you, to be paid 30 days prior to the ceremony.
Let the writing begin! I will send you some preparation document and preparation questions over to you to ponder. 4 weeks before your ceremony I will send your first draft across! We will have two rounds of edits before settling on the final ceremony script, as I want to ensure your story is told in a way that best represents you.
A dress rehearsal! You will meet with me in the comfort of your home to do a 'mock' ceremony so we're all comfortable ahead of the big day!
The wedding day! I will arrive 1hr before the ceremony is due to start to set up, and will leave about 20 minutes after the ceremony concludes.
Post ceremony - I will file all your paperwork with the relevant department. It will take about 3 months for your documents to process, from which time you can contact the department directly for a copy of your marriage certificate.
