Hi, I’m Petra

I could tell you all about my cat, my coffee order, or my latest DIY project (which, to be fair, does come in handy for bespoke event décor), but your wedding isn't about me.

And your ceremony won't be either.

There are some incredible celebrants out there who are natural entertainers, filling ceremonies with big laughs, high energy and plenty of audience interaction. They’re funny, engaging and incredibly talented at what they do (if that’s the kind of ceremony you’re dreaming of, I can happily point you in the direction of some fantastic celebrants who do that brilliantly).

My approach is a little different.

Where I feel most at home is crafting a warm, thoughtful ceremony where you can relax, be yourselves, and focus on the person standing opposite you.

For many people, standing in front of the people they love is vulnerable enough.

I work with couples who want to feel seen, not put on display. Couples who care more about creating a meaningful moment than putting on a show.

My role is to create a ceremony that feels warm, personal, authentic and genuinely reflective of who you are — not to turn your wedding into a performance.

Behind the scenes, I'll guide you through the legal requirements, help with vows if you'd like support, answer questions along the way and make sure everything runs smoothly on the day. My background in events means I'm just as comfortable managing timelines and logistics as I am delivering your ceremony.

No chaos. No theatrics. No cheesiness.

Just a thoughtfully crafted ceremony that feels 100% you.

If you're looking for a warm, calm, authentic celebrant who'll help you feel comfortable, supported and present on your wedding day, I'd love to hear from you.
