About Emily
Your Story, Your Way
Why
What makes me unique?
With an extensive career in media, public relations, and event management, I bring a wealth of experience in finding the best angle to create and tell a compelling story.
I am skilled in managing crisis and delivering extraordinary events from initial ideation to end-to-end management. My goal is to ensure that the story I tell for your special day is uniquely yours.
Drawing from my extensive background, I can effectively handle people under pressure, manage a crowd, craft the perfect words, and pay meticulous attention to detail. Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life, and you are placing your trust in someone to create a magical storytelling experience for you and your guests. I leverage my experience to craft heartfelt narratives that reflect your unique love story. After all, it is your love story, your wedding, your way.
Often, it’s the finer details that make the best stories—elements you might not think are significant. By focusing on these small details (or, as we say in my field, finding the angle), my attention to detail allows me to perceive these seemingly minor aspects through a different lens, transforming them into elements that can greatly enhance your ceremony.
The Celebrant Who Knows How to Tell a Story That’s Uniquely Yours
My career in media and communications has equipped me with the skills to effectively manage speeches, audiences, and create a calm, controlled environment while maintaining warmth and personalisation.
I take pride in my professionalism and my ability to handle high-pressure situations, manage a crowd, craft beautiful words, and pay close attention to every detail.
In my previous role as a wedding and event manager across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley, I successfully delivered high-impact, memorable events for major companies, ensuring that every element was executed in-house.
My background as a wedding coordinator gives me more than just ordinary celebrant skills; it allows me to offer deeper insights into what you might need on your big day, what you might be overlooking, and how to maintain calm and joy throughout the planning process. My journey in event management taught me to think outside the box and prepared me to handle any crisis and last-minute changes with ease.
What I can promise is that I will bring all of the skills I have acquired throughout my career and life to ensure that your day is everything you’ve dreamed of.
From Central Coastto Sydney and Beyond
Based on the Central Coast, I happily travel to the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Sydney — or wherever your dream day takes you.
Whether you want an intimate elopement, a grand celebration, or something completely unconventional, I adapt every element to reflect your personalities and your love.
