Justine Banfield

Passionate writer and visual storyteller; fierce love advocate; lifelong adventurer, who is always delighting in laughter and the odd shenanigan!

A big CONGRATS on getting engaged and making the wonderful decision to spend the rest of your lives together with ‘your person’!

Planning and celebrating your wedding should be 100% all about you! Your ceremony should be a beautiful reflection of your love, sprinkled with oodles of joy and uniquely special moments.

As a celebrant, I bring a relaxed, lightly humorous and friendly style to ceremonies, underpinned by an unrelenting dedication to the big O … Organisation! As my promise to you, I will give you my time, guidance and support, inspiring resources, creative input / brainstorming … and then some.

My travels, diverse life-experiences, and overall rollicking-ride that has been the story of my own life and professional journey (as a journalist and communications and events professional), reflect an intense curiosity about humans and what makes us do what we do … like falling in love and getting married!
