Leon's 'perfect' Naming Ceremony. Photo: Samantha Pearce It's easy to love my job when I receive such glowing feedback...  "We just wanted to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for all of the hard work you've done leading up to our son Leon's Naming Day yesterday, and for making the day itself such a warm, enjoyable and truly special occasion.  From the very beginning, you put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. You listened carefully to our wishes, and honoured these beautifully in creating a warm, genuine and intimate ceremony. Your keen eye for detail and wonderful organisation are second to none - and as a teacher, I understand the value of such skills!  You made us feel included, yet relaxed from the get-go, but also went out of your way to offer advice and suggestions. Most importantly, you tailor-made a memorable and highly personal ceremony that not only met our needs, but also exceeded our expectations.  Your friendly,...

Lucy and Karl married were lucky enough to marry at one of their favourite spots in the whole of Sydney. The gorgeous wedding took place under a majestic fig tree, overlooking Sydney Harbour. In addition to some meaningful readings, the couple chose to include an ancient Celtic handfasting ritual to help bind them in matrimony. Lucy and Karl took the time to think about the values they wanted to be a part of their marriage. They chose braided coloured ribbons to represent each of those values. The ribbons were bound together as they joined hearts and hands in marriage.

Christine and Paul's wedding day had lots of personal touches ranging from spiritual to humorous. Fantastic Jazz music set the tone for their special day as friends and family gathered to celebrate. The ceremony felt very warm and intimate. For the Unity Bowl ritual each guest was asked to bring along a precious object - a crystal, stone or fossilized wood for example. During the ceremony family and friends placed offerings within a beautiful glass bowl, and expressed their wishes for the happy couple and their future together. The different objects within the Unity Bowl symbolised the many different colours, shapes and energies of love. At the end, Christine and Paul had a very beautiful memento to keep and remind them of their wedding. The couple were joined together in matrimony using a Celtic handfasting ritual. It is from this ancient ritual that we get the saying to 'Tie The Knot'. As Christine and Paul were bound together by their vows, they were...

Georgia's Naming Day was a simple and happy occasion filled with love. Extended family and friends gathered at Wahroonga Park to celebrate the birth of this beautiful little girl and formally welcome her into their lives. Georgia seemed to soak up all the love surrounding her and was content to be the centre of attention. Parents were able to give thanks for the blessing of their gorgeous daughter and acknowledge the joy she brings into their lives. They went on to honour Georgia's grandparents and appoint godparents, the people who will play a special role throughout her life. Georgia's spiritual mentor was also appointed and they offered a prayer they had written especially for the occasion. Personal touches like this gave the ceremony extra meaning. The sight of coloured rose petals floating down over Georgia during the petal blessing was a joy to watch. Each colour represented a quality or value that her parents want as a part of her life. Loved ones enjoyed...
