About Me and My Life So Far...
I have 3 gorgeous children and 2 beautiful stepsons all in their teens.
This includes two sets of identical twins! (We had the cutest Bridal party at our wedding). Very much the modern family!
I live in Airlie Beach however I visit Cairns frequently as my husband lives there.
Like many modern families, we both share the living arrangements of our children with their adoring respective parents.
Anyone who has ever had to be away from their partners is it at the mines, in the military or for any other reason will tell you that it is not at all ideal but we do what we can and as I always say, distance means so little when someone means so much.
Some more about me.
Hmm, where to start…about me.
If I am not at a wedding, you can find me Ubering my kids all around the countryside for their various sports, or cheering on my beloved Cowboys. Sometimes, if the kids have ditched us for a time, you’ll find us at a good bar! 🙂
After graduating high school I did a 12-month exchange student program which led me to my first Japanese-speaking job…..selling opals on Hamilton Island. Aged 18
This then led to becoming a Wedding Executive on Hayman Island, (Aged 19 – 20) followed by wedding planning on Hamilton Island for many years. Age 21 – 25 years.
Age 25. My ridiculously handsome son was born
Age 26. I had the privilege of being a Hostess on an 80ft Maxi yacht ” Maxi Raggamuffin” where we did day trips to either Whitehaven beach or Diving at Blue Pearl Bay
Age 26-28 My young family then travelled around Australia in a Caravan with our 2 fun-loving staffies. This amazing journey took about 18 months before we settled in Hervey Bay.
Age 29. I was an Event Manager for 4 years taking care of Conferences, Wedding Receptions, Networking events, etc
Age 30. My sweetheart (ratbags) twin girls were born
Age 33. As it can happen, and, such is life, we went through some tough times but found that “light at the end of the tunnel” and came out the other side.
Age 34. We moved back to Airlie Beach (home) and I became a Wedding Stylist
Age 36. I finally found my calling and became a Marriage Celebrant
Age 36. Still age 36, I married my darling Husband.
Age 42. At the present time and until death do I part – I will be officiating heartfelt ceremonies for couples from all over the world and from all walks of life and absolutely loving what I do. This is me.
We could not recommend Kylie more highly! Not only was she incredible on the day; calm, well spoken, completely set the tone for our beautiful ceremony, she was also extremely helpful both before and after our wedding. She explained the whole process so clearly and did all the hard work for us! Kylie wrote and executed the most personal, tailed ceremony that was perfect for us! We don’t plan on ever getting married again but if we did, she would be the first vendor we booked! Thank you Kylie, you’re AMAZING!
Kylie was incredible from the very start. We could not have wished for a better celebrant. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. She was quick with her communications and the information she provided at each step made it so easy. Kylie was super organised and professional and went above and beyond and took the time to get to know us on a personal level and then helped us build our perfect ceremony tailored to us while making it fun and relaxing. Kylie was absolutely amazing, and we can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much Kylie!!
Kylie married us on a yacht with our 18month old son sailing in the Whitsundays. She was AMAZING and went above and beyond every step of the way. She truly helped make this day the most special it co
Kylie was amazing, she tailored our special day perfectly to make sure every detail was correct and how we wanted it. She was so thorough with her information and helpful at helping us understand the process, she was amazing on our big day and we couldn't have been happier with how our ceremony went. Thanks to Kylie and her passion for her work and her attention to detail, she made our day so special and helped us feel at ease with everything. I can't recommend Kylie enough, she is truly amazing at what she does and she will always be a part of our story. Thankyou so much for all that you have done for us.
Kylie is a lovely lady who made us feel comfortable from the get go. She made our wedding even more special. Thank you for being amazing Kylie, you are forever in our hearts! 😍
1000% the BEST celebrant ever! Kylie was very responsive over emails and made us feel at ease immediately with how warm and enthusiastic she was about being apart of our big day. Kylie went above and beyond in all aspects of the lead up and on the day. We couldn't be more happier with her services and highly recommend you to choose her for your ceremony. Thank you so much Kylie. You are a star! 🥰🤩
Kylie was incredible. Even though we were from the UK she knew exactly what she was doing. Made the whole process feel so easy and personal. We couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much Kylie! John and Ellie xx
Kylie is a beautiful person and felt more like a friend and guest than our celebrant. The pre-wedding process was streamlined and easy thanks to her provided materials and guidance throughout the process. She was able to quickly adapt to a complete change in our ceremony plans due to wet weather and time limits with ease. Kylie felt like part of the party and went out of her way to join us on location and our photo tour to film and create several reels to share with our friends and family like our very own content creator. Do yourself a favour and book Kylie!
We are so happy we chose Kylie to be our celebrant for our elopement! She was beyond helpful through every step, so kind, trusting and such a lovely personality to have at our small wedding. We will remember the moments she helped create for us on our special day for the rest of our life. Thank you again, Kylie!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Kylie for our wedding, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very start, Kylie made us feel comfortable with her down-to-earth and vibrant personality. Her energy was infectious and made our special day even more memorable. One of the standout qualities of Kylie is her incredible attention to detail. Every aspect of our ceremony was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. She took the time to understand our story and incorporated personal touches that truly made the ceremony unique and meaningful. Communication with Kylie was seamless. She was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer reassurance. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. We are so grateful to have had Kylie as our celebrant. She made our wedding day magical, and we highly recommend to anyone looking for a celebrant who is professional, personable, and utterly committed to making your day special.
Kylie helped with our elopement and I can’t recommend her enough! She was so helpful answering any enquiries, professional yet so relaxed which is what I was looking for. She offered her advice when I was unsure of other service providers to use on the day etc. Not only did she help calm our nerves she was so considerate with her interactions with our children who were also apart of our elopement.
Kylie was absolutely amazing. Made us feel so comfortable and fit our vibe perfectly! Could not recommend her enough!
Kylie was incredible from day one. Having planned our special day on Whitehaven Beach, we felt a little removed from the planning phase as we were travelling from Melbourne. Kylie was a massive help in making me feel at ease. Without a bridal party on site, Kylie and the team were a welcomed sight when they arrived at my hotel room on the day! Thank you.
Kylie is simply incredible. She takes the time to really get to know you, understand your relationship and then deliver on the most personal, fun, moving ceremony. We were incredibly lucky to have Kylie navigate our special day. She is an absolute pleasure to “work” with and feels like a friend! We can’t recommend Kylie enough - she made our day incredibly special, thank you Kylie. Forever grateful.
Kylie was just WOW! I would highly recommend trusting in her for your special day! She was so professional, kind, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make our day special. Kylie is honestly such a down to earth person who brought so much ease to our day. She truly is amazing at what she does and loves it, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to join us in marriage.
Kylie was our celebrant for our elopement and she was so helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and had great communication throughout the whole process. We would’ve been lost without her.
Words can’t describe how incredible Kylie was! I can’t speak highly enough of her. She made our experience so easy and enjoyable, the communication was great and super responsive, she had an answer for everything and she provided us with all the relevant information. Kylie was the most lovely celebrant and I couldn’t have asked for a better person for our special day❤️
Kylie was absolutely amazing. She helped us work through the planning process, was very quick with her communication and made us feel like we were her only clients. I highly recommend her
Kylie is very amazing at this and we felt like she had known us for a long time. Her friendliness, ease of communication and attention to all aspects for our anniversary ceremony including the tiny details that we hadn’t thought about, really melted our hearts. We are so grateful to have had her officiate us and we unreservedly recommend her services.
Kylie was amazing! She was able to step us through the wedding process with ease and grace. This was a destination wedding for us so it was such a comfort knowing that Kylie was able to communicate with us from afar. Leading into the big day, she was warm, kind, calm and made us feel relaxed and excited. Kylie took the time to get to know us and our family which made the day even more special. Thank you Kylie. We loved every moment.

Kylie takes home the MVP award for our elopement! She is the reason our elopement ran as smoothly as it did. A funny, organised, passionate and kind woman making sure our big day was flawless. She made us feel very comfortable and talked us through every step. She truly is one of a kind and the best there is! We will forever be grateful for all that Kylie did for us!
I had the pleasure of working with Kylie as our wedding celebrant, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the initial meetings where she skillfully prompted questions, making the process enjoyable, to her invaluable assistance in crafting heartfelt vows, Kylie's dedication was evident. On the big day, her calming presence made everything run smoothly. I highly recommend Kylie for her exceptional guidance and positive influence.
From the first meeting with Kylie we knew she was the one. Her caring and kind nature brought a lot of calmness to a decision of such importance. Her approach to building a personalised ceremony was refreshing, exciting and fun from start to finish. The ceremony was something out of a movie and Kylie captured everyone’s attention with her words from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and this sentiment is also shared by all our guests, with everyone telling us this was the best ceremony and celebrant they have ever witnessed. We consider Kylie to be a keystone to a magical day and could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you Kylie !
Kylie was absolutely amazing for my partner Bryce and I. She was so kind and easy to deal with - the stresses of weddings can really get to a couple, especially a bride so she was super accomodating and made every step simple. Could not recommend more and so happy we had her!
Kylie is the best celebrant and MC ever! She is the kindest, most genuine person you’ll ever have the pleasure of marrying you. From the very start, her communication has always been very prompt and there is nothing Kylie wouldn’t do for us. She personalised the perfect, intimate ceremony for us and then went on to MC our reception and kept the party going all night. She is so easygoing and bubbly and her presence made us feel at ease throughout our whole day. Kylie we love you, we can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day.
Kylie was just incredible, from the first email we received we felt like we were friends from way back. The ceremony was incredibly personal but also fun. No request or last minute change was too much. Thank you so much Kylie for everything you've done and making our perfect day even more perfect ♥️
Kylie was amazing through the entire wedding process. She made our special day so personal. Her passion and dedication for her job is truly appreciated and this is reflected in her work. Kylie was always available when we needed to ask a question. A day we will always remember and we couldn’t be happier having Kylie by our side. Thank you so much!!
Kylie was so professional but also relaxed and easy going. She helped us add our own personal touches to the ceremony that made it extra special. Kylie was great to work with leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day helped to calm the grooms nerves. We cannot recommend her enough to those wanting a perfect ceremony.
Kylie and her husband Colin made our last minute elopement incredibly fun, easy and very organised! We loved everything from the super fast communication and solution focused approach. Everything was already thought of before we could even contemplate all that was required of our decision to marry. It was too easy and made us both feel very at ease with our decision and we are so glad we had Kylie! What a wonderful day we had! Thank you!
Kylie was absolutely beautiful to work with for our wedding day at the Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach & we highly recommend her.
From when our wedding planning begun, Kylie engaged with us every step of the way, providing detailed information on the overall process, ceremony wording, ceremony plan and layout of the day to end with legalities on name changing etc. We could not fault Kylie's service, she has obviously built her systems over many years in the profession and has anticipated every question or query anyone could ever have posed, getting in front of it with a checklist for every stage. She is very personable and we felt like we already new Kylie when we met her on the day. Kylie was the best thing about my whole wedding experience and I would highly recommend her if you want someone that will keep you on task and guide you through the process seamlessly!
Kylie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us from our very first phone call, before we even officially retained her as our celebrant! The whole experience was seamless and zero stress. We honestly couldn’t have ask for a better wedding day experience. She even took our photos for us. We will be forever grateful for the memories she captured on such a special day that she created for us.
Kylie went above and beyond for us. Every single detail was planned out, ensuring our special day ran as soothing as possible. We were impressed with how persons he made the ceremony, she catered to our every need. Amazing service !
Kylie was our dream celebrant. She went above and beyond to get to know us on a personal level and tailored our ceremony accordingly. She even helped my husband to write his vows. He nailed them. Her service she provides is world class. We would highly recommend her. WE LOVE YOU KYLIE
Kylie, we can’t thank you enough for such an unforgettable,personal, loving and fun ceremony for both of us . We chose to elope to Hamilton Island, we only personally met half an hour before the ceremony and it was like you knew our thoughts and made it such an easy day . Your calming and professional manner allowed us to have the perfect balance for our small family ceremony ,You can adapt to any situation and also made the legal side of things so simple. You bring such a positive vibe at a time that could be very stressful and made the moment, everything we wanted .
Kylie was always organized throughout our ceremony planning and we had the best day! We had our baby and our parents who are not too comfortable with English attend the ceremony but Kylie made sure everyone feels included and happy. Thank you so much again for making the day magical, Kylie!
Thank you Kylie. It was a very hot and humid day for our wedding and everything went perfect for the ceremony. Kylie was a pleasure to deal with and always got back to us very quickly. Karly & Guy Walker
Kylie, thank you, thank you, thank you. You delivered such an incredible, personal, warm but fun ceremony for us both! Due to eloping on Hamilton Island, we met you an hour before the ceremony! You were so warm, calming and professional. You can adapt to any situation and made the legal side of things so simple! You bring so much light into the moment, everything felt natural. We can't wait to renew our vows with you in the future xx. A day to truly remember, we were blessed to have you as part of our special moment.
Wow. Did some research and reached out to some celebrants. But Kylie, not only came back with very important and useful information but guided me through the whole process (it was a surprise proposal/commitment ceremony). Kylie has also great contacts with other useful industries and businesses to help create amazing ideas and experiences. She also created some fantastic social media drops of our night too for those not there to enjoy. Obviously, you don't do this every day, but I'm so grateful we had Kylie to help organise and inform.
One of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding was to choose Kylie as our celebrant! The passion and energy she brings to each and every celebration was so important in making our intimate ceremony feel fun, happy and full of love. Kylie was always efficient and helpful in her responses to my questions, and wrote a personalised ceremony that fit us as a couple so perfectly. Our guests all commented on her beautiful nature, which is evident as soon as you meet her! She also put together a beautiful ‘reel’ of special moments from the day (which I think we’ve watched 100 times), helped the photographer in capturing special moments on the day and was very helpful in explaining the name-changing process post wedding. 1000% would recommend Kylie to anyone and everyone - you’re very lucky if you get to call her your celebrant!
Kylie was super helpful and proactive regarding every single step in the process. On top of that, her positive energy makes it super easy. I highly recommend her services!
Kylie is a warm, beautiful person who takes the time to get to know her couples. She goes out of her way to make your day as special as it can be. What an absolute pleasure it was to be married by her!
I have just had my wedding in Airlie Beach and Kylie was our Celebrant and we couldn't have chosen a better person. She was extremely professional an even got into some of our photos. She was very good with communication and overall we are just so happy.
Kylie just made our day so special, making it just right for our family with the twins and our daughter during the ceremony. Our vows were just right with our love story, she has a way with words. Would recommend her 100%. Thank you Kylie for making our day so special.
Highly recommend Kylie she is professional, caring and organised. Was always more than happy to assist and help out when needed.
Kylie is absolutely amazing! We highly recommend her to everyone. She made the whole process an ease, any questions I had beforehand she answered extremely prompted. Her communication & professional needs to be commended! When I meet her for the first time on the wedding day, it just felt like I was chatting with one of my best friends. Her friendly, funny nature just fit right in, it felt like she was part of the family! Thankyou Kylie, for making our day “ours” Holly & Lindsay
Absolutely amazing Kylie did a fantastic job from keeping the day light hearted and suiting it perfectly to our relationship/ceremony.
Kylie is a superstar. A crazy older couple deciding to get married in a different country and Kylie just made it so simple. From the easy instructions to build our own ceremony to the paper work being all sorted, Kylie just makes it so easy. Ours was a fuss less wedding, small with 10 guests and exactly what we wanted. I think she even managed to get the rain to stay away (not verified though).
Kylie is the benchmark by which all other celebrants should be measured against. From the moment we made contact, every interaction with Kylie was second-to-none regardless of communicating via email or finally getting the opportunity to meet face-to-face before our wedding day. We always felt we were in the best of hands. Kylie is so organised, quick to respond, professional and fun! ... we never had to think of anything (except our vows!), which made our elopement such an enjoyable experience. Kylie also takes the time to get to know you and integrates that into the day. By the time our wedding came around, it already felt like we were great friends and she was simply part of our wedding party! For us, it was all the polished little things Kylie did that made her so unique. Like the way she coordinated what she wore with our colour scheme to make sure she blended in on the day, to secretly helping me put together a little surprise I had in my vows for my husband and then discreetly video'ing it for us to make sure we captured the moment. To gifting us the pen that we signed our marriage certificate with on the day. There are so many more things i could mention, but you just have to experience it for yourself. A celebrant perfect in every way!
