Leonie Duryea

As a Celebrant, I will keep it real and tell YOUR story how YOU want it to be told, whether it be playful, serious, cheeky or downright romantic.

​Attention to detail is very important to me and I will combine this with a relaxed approach and personalised planning of your special day - whatever the occasion.

I will not change your vision, I will just bring it to life!

Why I'm a celebrant: I love helping people bring their dreams to life. I love being a part of that special moment when a couple joins together in marriage and are feeling so much happiness, or when parents proudly announce their new baby to the world at a naming ceremony. I also feel so very rewarding to be able to give someone a warm and moving send off at a funeral or memorial, making it a real celebration of their life, not just a burial.

Treasured memories: My most treasured wedding is when I got to officiate as my youngest son married the love of his life! All my couples are special, but these two were super special. It was an amazing honour as a mother and as a Celebrant.

Tips : Stay true to what YOU want and YOUR vision. It's about the two of you and your love - don't let the pressure of other people's ideas keep you from doing what YOU really want to do.

There will always be people who will be upset with you - for not inviting them to the wedding etc - stay strong together and know that it is all worth it in the end - YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY!
