Rose Jones Celebrant

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and life has been as varied as the ceremonies I create. After migrating to Melbourne, then living in Tasmania, I now call the town of Sale my home, and conduct ceremonies across Gippsland, south-eastern Victoria, and beyond, by arrangement. When I’m not officiating ceremonies, I enjoy a chat, a dance, a book; or unwinding with a G&T and a favourite podcast; and nothing's as good as a walk with one or more of our beloved greyhounds.

Why I'm a celebrant: My interest in people and their relationships is at the heart of who I am and all I do. I'm invested in building trust, creating connection, and sparking emotion, thanks to skills I developed as a Counsellor and Teacher.
So, when I was looking for a heart-centred change, becoming a Celebrant was a natural fit. Nothing could have prepared me for the intense joy I feel when meeting couples in sync; for the tingles I get when lovers exchange touching words; and the pride I feel once soul mates are legally married.

Treasured memories: Fun fact: despite being an average swimmer, I once sailed from Queensland to Tasmania with my hubby and a friend, crossing an unusually calm Bass Strait!

Tips : Ensure you have a budget for your Ceremony and Day and don't be tempted to exceed it!
Your ceremony is about YOU, so take a moment to document how you've always dreamed and imagined your Day to look, feel, sound, and taste...then stop and reflect that your vision is still on track as planning ensues!

and I'd like to say: Please call me Rosemarie or just Rose, and I’d be over the moon to craft a ceremony that’s as intimate or grand, but always unique, as your story!
