How long have you been a celebrant?

I first became a celebrant in 2017, so this is my 9th year and I’m pleased to say that the first couple I ever married are still happily married and in love!!! The excitement is real!!!!

What were you doing before you became a celebrant?

Before I was a celebrant, I was and still am, a florist and have been for the past 20 years and just in the last few weeks won the award for best florist in New Zealand and the South Island at the NZWVA  and also being a finalist in the top 3 for best celebrant category. I own my own business, Simply Flowers and Events and also the Orchid Florist both situated in Dunedin,  also having Designa weddings with my good friends for a number of years too, wedding hire and events décor. I have had an array of jobs in my life time but one of significance that I have been involved in my whole life is Dance, having represented N.Z and competed in internationally and also having my own dance school.

When you’re not doing weddings, what would we find you doing? 

When I’m not working ….I love to be around my family, my husband Braydon and our awesome kids, between us we have 5 kids and they are all unique and incredible, October, River, Boston, Nakita and Cruze and of course our 2 dogs  Gypsy and Rocky.

My happy place is at the beach in Waikouaiti where we live, there’s nowhere quite like it!

I Love catching up with friends and my Mum and Dad  who are my biggest supporters  and Im always up for something extreme, sky-diving, bungy jumping, any thrill seeking activities, I love to travel and would never say no to a good dress up!!
