Kari ~ artisan celebrant

for weddings, funerals and occasions

You’re seeking a ceremony that’s a perfect fit for you, your vibe, your people.
I’ll give your day a bit of magic and care for you along the way.

Your celebrant for….

  • a memorable, unforgettable, heartfelt ceremony.
  • a relaxed and super friendly, yet professional approach.
  • a unique occasion or wedding in Maleny, Montville, Flaxton or beyond the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and coastal beach areas.
  • your inspired ceremony or sparkling elopement with meaningful words, delightful rituals, fun & laughter – for you.  Ask me how.

Over a creative career, I have been a teacher, musician, artist, potter, and a frog! (yes you read that right) and dance tango for fun!  The artisan approach allows freedom to create unique and colourful moments of meaning.  Allow me to apply the artisan approach to your event.  Or ask me about kissing a frog!

“Kari nailed it.  Just the right recipe – humour, humility, warmth, respect and occasion – a memorable affair.” Emma & Paul

What ceremony do you want to create?

Marriage

a bespoke wedding that makes your unique story into a memorable, engaging ceremony.

Elopement

an intimate wedding with just yourselves, a celebrant & 2 witnesses : romance, authenticity & love, love, love.

Funerals

A farewell ritual or memorial ceremony helping all to know, honour and let go.

Your event: it’s all about you

Together we will craft the occasion you wished for. It will be fun for you and everyone, a bit different, or a tad creative. You can include cultural traditions in your wedding ceremony or make new ones. Divulge your plans to me, your wishes, your dreams, and I’ll share ideas I come up with to match.

If you’re not yet sure about what you want, I can help you with the processes of identifying what’s important to you, and creating a ceremony that expresses it in a meaningful way. I can help you add your personal touch, and give you ideas on how to include special people in different ways. Include your culture, your language. I speak Indonesian and French, and am happy to incorporate other languages of choice or multicultural rituals.

I realise how important this day is for you, so let’s meet to talk about your plans. Anything’s possible, just ask your celebrant!

But don’t just take my word for it, read reviews from other couples and families to find out what I can do for you. Get in Touch with me.

” …Everyone was raving about how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was.
Your beautiful personality is warming & calming which made us feel so at ease.  We are very lucky to have found you, Kari.”            Mel and Scott

    I cannot think of any words that would do justice to how amazing Kari is. I don’t think we could have dreamt of a better celebrant. Kari is simply amazing… thank you so much Kari xx

    Darren and Diah

    We cannot recommend Kari highly enough – we found Kari initially as we were looking for a celebrant with Indonesian language skills but this turned out to be a wonderful bonus gift of an exceptional professional. From the very beginning Kari offered her help & guidance whilst embracing and often improving on our own ideas.…

    Funeral for Steve

    I just wanted to say an oceanic thank you for skilfully creating a cohesive Service that Steve  would have truly loved…he really would have loved the fact that you wore your red leather jacket in honour of him.  That would have touched his heart for sure. I wanted to say also that the quote you offered of…

    Eileen ( a memorial)

    Kari is clearly “top of the class for sensitive, caring, quality service delivery” at a very challenging time when you truly need it. Right from the outset when our small group of family and friends met Kari and sat down with her at the Memorial Service venue we’d selected, there was a lovely rapport and…

    Claudia and Ben

    Kari was the perfect celebrant for our wedding right from the moment we first got in contact with her. Kari took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Kari was so warm and inviting from the moment we first spoke with her and made us feel so comfortable right through the…

Kari was super organised and professional and is such a warm and endearing, kind and caring person. Kari helped calm our nerves on the day and ensured our…
