Susan Chapman Civil Marriage Celebrant

The union of two people who love one another, the vows they share and the commitment they make together, makes for a magical day.

Your wedding is a personal and intimate commitment and the ceremony is a vital part of this very special occasion.
As your Canberra Celebrant I can help you to create and plan a ceremony that is meaningful, personal and memorable, whether it is traditional, themed, creative or simple.

There are many beautiful settings and venues in the ACT and surrounding areas, and this combined with your own style of ceremony can turn the day into something you and your guests will recall with great pleasure.

'To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to decide it with' – Mark Twain

I enjoy being a celebrant meeting happy couples and helping them plan their wedding ceremonies. This important day is such a special, joyful occasion and it is a pleasure to see each couple make their commitment to one another.

I also enjoy baby naming ceremonies. Children are delightful and it is lovely to be able to help welcome them into the world.

My previous career as a primary school teacher has given me many skills that are essential for being an understanding, caring and effective celebrant.

I have developed the communication skills necessary in dealing with people at many levels and am experienced in negotiation and listening. I am well practised in conducting meetings and expert in organising events.
