I work with couples and families to create special celebrations with long-lasting and satisfying
memories. Your special occasion is important to me because I know these occasions are rare and you
want it to be “just right.”
My experience tells me that what many people
are
looking for in a celebrant
is:
These qualities are often commented on
by
the couples I have worked with:
·
“very
professional and very personable”
·
“delivery and ideas kept the
guests focused”
·
“captured the meaning of our
marriage”
·
“little details
and advice she gave made it all run smoothly and beautifully”

Beyond The Veil
At the age of seventeen, Pauline Grogan entered the convent
and seven years later took her final vows. At age 29, desecrated and bewildered, she found herself
back within the secular world, having to begin her life all over again.
When Penguin Books published Pauline's
Autobiography they described her book as:
"The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary New
Zealand Woman - "Touching, inspirational and sometimes shocking it is the tale of survival and the
triumph of love and faith in the face of abuse and apparently insurmountable
odds".

A View from Within...
is Pauline Grogan's highly anticipated book about the life of James Lynch, a
heroic and inspirational person who has touched many peoples lives.
" 'A View from
Within' is one of the most inspirational,
spiritual memoirs I have ever read. James Lynch was indeed paralysed for most of his life, but in
reading about it, I feel I have walked with a luminous spirit - one who, by acceptance of
suffering, transcended it." - Author
Robert Waldren, Boston, USA
