Red hair and a bright, white smile
Hey lovers!
I’m Annette, but you can call me Netty. I’m the one with red hair and a bright, white smile. And I’m smiling at you now. Why? Because I’m excited for you. You’re about to embark on your biggest adventure yet!
First things first. I want you to know your love story is important to me. And I promise to hold space while you share it with each other.
I feel lucky to be given the chance to witness the most memorable moment in your life. And I’ll make sure it exceeds all your expectations.
What to expect from me? I’m a fun-loving, easy-going and enthusiastic celebrant who likes to go with the flow. I make you and your partner feel comfortable from the moment you ask me to marry you.
I have a knack for reducing stress, which is a good skill to have at a wedding. I want you to feel relaxed and happy so you can let go and be present in the moment. I want you to enjoy every second.
I’m big on rituals because I believe these are what memories latch onto. So I help you imagine a ceremony that will be meaningful to both you.
Away from the altar
I became a celebrant in 2009. A thought literally popped into my head while I was cleaning (I know, random!), and I knew right then and there it was the perfect job for me. I feel insanely joyous and grateful that I’ve been a celebrant ever since.
I live south of the river in Perth with my partner, Sean, my little sausages (Daschunds), Bowser and Diddy (yes, they are named after Super Mario characters!), and my cat, Wilson.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing pool, cruising the streets of Freo on my electric skateboard, lazing on the beach in summer and cosying up by the fireplace in winter.
I love life, especially these people, animals, experiences and these things…
My Irish man, Sean
Sunshine – the warmth on my skin, and that dawn and dusk glow
The sea and the sand
Live music, especially The Cat Empire
Good food, good company
The smell of a good book
Storm clouds and thunder
Candles, crystals and incense
Travel and adventure, engaging the senses and immersing in new cultures
Buffy reruns with a bottle of Shiraz
Hikes amongst the trees
Festivals and markets
A roaring fire
A hot bath

Dark chocolate
My values
Whoever you are, I stand with you
I fully support same-sex marriage and advocate for trans rights. Whoever you are, whoever you love, I stand with you.
Your wedding is all about you
I want every couple to remember their wedding with love, not regret. Plan the wedding day you want, not what people or society expect of you.
Weddings should be stress-free
You've put all this effort into creating a meaningful day, so it goes without saying you want to enjoy it! I help reduce your stress so you can relax and have fun.
Meaning over materialism
Yeah, dresses and fancy suits are cool, but I much prefer a meaningful ceremony to a big hoo-ha. Real connection is what makes a wedding memorable.
Rituals bind us together
I’m a spiritual person who understands everyone has their own way of marking an occasion. I empower you to come up with a ritual that feels significant to you.
