Meet Simone

Okay, I get it. I meet up with you and within a few minutes, I’m asking you all of
this personal stuff about how you met, your relationship and what you love about
each other– and we haven’t even finished our first drink! Since I need all of this
info about you both in order to get to know you and understand your relationship a
little better, I figure it is only fair to tell you a bit about myself. Here goes…

I am a wife, Mum to two gorgeous girls, celebrant and a teacher based in
Melbourne and Daylesford. I am most definitely a people person and I am always up for a chat! I love to holiday, hang out with family and friends, sample a cocktail or two and meet new people. Infact, it was whilst living in London where I met my husband. When you meet me, I am friendly, outgoing, down to earth and relaxed.

My all-time favourite movie is The Sound of Music – ahh if only life could be like
a musical! I don’t mind a night in binging on Netflix and I have been told on
numerous occasions, much to my dismay, that I resemble Gloria Estefan. All I can say is, thank goodness for hair straighteners!

So, why become a celebrant I hear you ask? I had always considered it but life was
just too busy. It wasn’t until I reflected on my own wedding day and the fantastic experience we had, that I thought, I want more of that! At the risk of sounding corny, I can truly say that it is such a privilege working with couples, listening to their stories and creating something beautiful to reflect their love for one another.

I love that initial moment at the beginning of a ceremony when a couple first lay
eyes on each other, there is nothing like it and I am fortunate enough to get the best seat in the house! But anyway, enough about me – I want to hear your story…
