Being a celebrant lights me up inside. My oxytocin goes through the roof knowing that I help people create beautiful and memorable life events.

In a former life, I had a career in sports event management which certainly helps me as a celebrant. I am super organised, have great attention to detail and love creating 'a feel good factor'.

I spend my downtime roller-skating, campaigning for the environment and planning my next overseas adventure. 

I am the whiskey-drinking, yarn-spinning, belly-laughing celebrant that is all you need to brighten your day and nail your event in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. 

Hi, I'm Julie.

I enjoy getting to know my clients so that their ceremony is a true reflection of who they are as people. It's about asking the right questions in the right way, really listening, and often reading between the lines. 

As a celebrant, I try to entertain while I inform.⁠ ⁠I think about my voice, inflection and mannerisms. ⁠I'm well-versed in the art of humour, metaphor, and symbolism.⁠ Above all, it's about moving your guests at their emotional core.


The goal is always to tell meaningful, emotional stories that resonate and delight. ⁠

I'm a heart-led creative who enjoys writing beautiful stories infused with a bit humour  

I speak Irish, Spanish, French and a bit of Italian: one of the advantages of growing up in Europe.

Is one of you from another country? Or maybe your parents are? Or did you meet overseas? 

If you want a sprinkling of another language (any language!) in your ceremony, I can make that happen for you.

I'm normally based in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley but I'll travel anywhere in Australia for a bi-lingual wedding ceremony. 

I want my ceremonies to be as inclusive as possible so I've also been learning Australian Sign Language. Are any of your guests deaf? I'd love to sign a few phrases using AUSLAN.

Lucky for you, I am the Queen of bi-lingual ceremonies.
