Celebrant Joy for all occasions
As a family celebrant, Joyful Occasions builds lasting relationships with clients. Joy is there for the best days and the hardest ones – from weddings to namings to renewal of vows to funerals and memorials.

Baby Namings
Namings officially welcome babies and children into our lives. They bind generations together with godparents, guardians, guardian angels or mentors for your children.
Together we will weave special promises and commitments into the ceremony and consider timing for the attention of little ones.
There are many rituals you can include, or you can create your own family traditions – it is all part of the wonderful Naming Ceremony!

Renewal of Vows
It is always very moving to perform Renewal of Vows ceremonies. They can be for milestone occasions or to celebrate a wedding registered in another country or Australian state.
Since COVID-19, many couples have chosen to have a smaller wedding ceremony and then a Renewal of Vows down the track. Whatever the reason, a Renewal of Vows ceremony is a wonderful way to re-commit your love with family and friends.

Wedding emcee (MC)
As a competent speaker and organiser, Joy can be Master of Ceremonies at wedding receptions and events. Together we will work a timeline to ensure your celebration is profession from start to finish.
My Background
A little about me
Well, I’m a country girl at heart (hence I will drive hours for ceremonies) , from a family of 11 and busy community volunteer with A Bloody Great Cause since 2016 and My Wedding Wish since 2017.
Equally, I love Sydney where I worked as a journalist, editor, in crisis management and as a compliance and regulatory specialist.
My passion is hearing people’s stories and weaving them into meaningful ceremonies.
But really, it’s not about me….. it’s about you and making your ceremony perfect!
