Your Celebrant
I bring a professional background and valuable experience to the role of Celebrant.
Organising and hosting special events, being MC, writing for many audiences, and working with a broad range of people (which I really enjoy), means that I can professionally and diligently plan with you, and conduct your ceremony, with minimal fuss. I am also a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants.
More importantly, I simply love being a celebrant, from meeting happy and loving couples, planning a special ceremony that reflects their celebration, through to sharing their unique partnership in a personalised ceremony with chosen guests.
My aim is that your guests hardly notice me because your ceremony will be so 'you'. They will be compelled to join you on your journey as you pledge your vows, celebrate your relationship and loved ones, or reflect on the lives of those you have loved, in a way that you want.
I am married with two daughters - both recently married - so I have first-hand and recent experience of the wedding planning process. I appreciate the huge range of possibilities and how important it is that your wedding is an expression of your unique partnership and lives.
There is no better teacher than life experience. This means that I will confidently and intuitively deliver a ceremony that meets (and hopefully exceeds) your expectations. Your family and friends will remember your ceremony - not your Celebrant - for all the right reasons.

What others have said .....
In our opinion, Tonia is a genuine and open person, with a welcoming personality. Tonia makes you feel like you have known her your whole life and you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with her.
Tegan and Rhys, Bride and Groom
I can with complete honesty state that Tonia's personal integrity and ethical standards are of the highest order. Due to her natural and sincere manner, Tonia has the ability to make people feel very comfortable in her presence.
Carlo Manera, Justice of the Peace
Tonia is a person who is kind, generous, warm, compassionate and nurturing – all essential elements in the role of a marriage celebrant. She is non judgemental, takes each individual on their own merit, is unwavering in her support of others and puts others before herself. Her generosity of spirit, the time she has given to community well above and beyond the requirements of her roles and her passion to do good for others, augurs very well for those couples who will be fortunate to have Tonia as their marriage celebrant.
