Ceremonies by Melanie
Celebrant background: I live in Oberon, in the Central West of NSW. Over the past 10 years I’ve spent time with wonderful families, conducting weddings and funerals in venues and private properties across the region. Occasionally I’ve had more far flung adventures including a wedding in Darwin!
Coming from a background in social work and adult education, celebrancy has been a deeply satisfying and rewarding career move.
Why I'm a celebrant: I became a celebrant because I wanted to use my knowledge and skills in a positive way for my community. I see my role as a celebrant as working alongside people to think about, plan and take part in special ceremonies and celebrations to mark all the major events in life. I love getting to know people, planning and organising stuff and helping people achieve their dreams.
Treasured memories: Special moments in my own family life, including marriages, the birth of children, anniversaries and birthday parties all remind me of the importance of ritual and ceremony in our community. A highlight for me was having the role of celebrant at my daughter's wedding in 2016. I also have wonderful memories of holidays in Australia and abroad. Some amazing memories include watching a volcano shoot sparks in Vanuatu and diving with seals on the South Coast of NSW.
Tips : Be true to yourselves - when planning a ceremony or special event it is easy to get carried away or to be influenced by others. Don't be afraid to do things your way!
and I'd like to say: Ceremonies add richness to our lives and can be part of any life event!
