Weddings

From Sweet & Simple to Grand Occasions …

Simple ceremony in a backyard or your favourite beach?  Or a grand wedding in a distant location, working together we’ll design a ceremony especially suited for your special day, and of course, your budget.

Simple Ceremonies

If all you want is a fun, stress free, easy wedding then this is the option for you. Designed for couples wanting a legally binding ceremony without the extravagant extras.  Of course, all the legal documentation is included.  And you can choose any location around Sydney!   Just call me to make sure I’m available on the day.

Bespoke Wedding Ceremonies

For grand occasions or detailed ritualised ceremonies, you will need a celebrant who is confident, warm and fun to work with but also organised, prompt and ethical.  Choosing a celebrant who is the right fit is crucial, so before you make that final choice come and have a chat with me.

Monica provided us with an exceptional service. She made us feel so comfortable and made sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful and always catered for our needs especially when we were so indecisive. She was able to combine the legal requirements of the ceremony with our cultural needs effortlessly.

Setareh and I would love to thank you for the great job you did at our wedding as the celebrant. We both had the best time and you helped make it a memorable day. Thanks again.

Setareh & David

Monica was the most wonderful warm and caring celebrant. We wanted to have just a small simple wedding and Monica understood everything we were asking for. She made the day so special and we felt really comfortable with her, like she was part of the family.

Melissa & Tony

When I contacted Monica to act as a celebrant I did not expect to find a woman who was fun, caring and helpful, nothing was too hard for Monica, in fact she made the wedding so special. She was organised, punctual and provided flair and sophistication to the service. She is a person who I would love to see again. You can’t go wrong with Monica.

Funerals & Memorial Ceremonies

Nowadays funeral services can take many forms, from the traditional service held in a chapel or by a graveside, to a wide choice of ceremonies and rituals celebrating a life well–lived, or you may wish to hold a living funeral where everyone has a chance to say ‘Goodbye’.

Whether you simply require a Celebrant to introduce the Order of Service or to design a ceremony or ritual, I can help you to plan the occasion and offer a choice of poems, hymns or music.

I am based in Sydney but I’m happy to perform ceremonies anywhere in Australia or overseas.

‘Thank you again, Monica, I know that Mum would have been really happy with you conducting her service’.  Ann

Funeral Director

The death of a family member or a close friend can be one of the most challenging times of your life.  The loss can leave you with a hole in your heart and your head spinning, and at this stressful time there is so much information to absorb, and so many choices that have to be made quickly.

With my years of experience, I can take the pressure off, I can guide you through the process and choices, and together we will create a beautiful ceremony to honour your special person.

You may be considering a church, a cremation chapel or graveside service, but it is possible to hold a service in a choice of other venues.  Whether small and intimate or a space to accommodate a large group of family, friends and colleagues, we can find a peaceful sanctuary with space to say goodbye –  a beautiful garden setting, a favourite golf or surf club, your own back yard, or one of our historic houses.

Feel free to call me anytime.  0401 337 177

Other Ceremonies & Rituals

Renewal of Vows, Baby-Namings,  Graduations, Birthdays, Life-Change Ceremonies, New Home or Business,  Retirement

You may simply need a celebrant to act as an MC, or you may need ideas and planning too.

From small gatherings at home to grand ceremonies, I can help you to plan a ceremony to suit the occasion and the budget.
