Brenda Ratcliff

Marriage Celebrant





It’s normal to feel a little nervous anticipation as the Big Day approaches.  Most couples feel this way at some point on their journey to the altar.  Brenda wants you and your beloved to feel how you both want to feel on your wedding day - calm, happy, tingly, and most of all, in love and excited about your life together.

Before the ceremony, Brenda works with couples to show them tips from the world of coaching, which help presenters and sports people stay calm, focused, and relaxed.  Using Neuro-linguistic programming tools, she shows you how to turn the normal ‘butterfly-feelings in your tummy’ into ones of joy.  She works with you to design your ceremony just how you want it to reflect your relationship and personal history.

One of the special coaching tools she offers couples is how to be completely present for the service so that they increase their ability to remember details of their special day.  This arose from her research prior to becoming a celebrant, in talking to couples who said their day just passed by in a blur - well Brenda knows that there are ways you can enjoy every second of your wedding and create long lasting and special memories, and wants to share these tools with you.

As an experienced Master of Ceremonies and Trainer in presentation skills, Brenda brings a natural poise and grace to your ceremony.  Her ability to use words and body language to create a loving atmosphere will assist your guests to feel happy and enjoy the privilege of being present at your wedding.

One of the brides Brenda officiated for in April said this about her own wedding:  My favourite thing about the day was the service itself.  I liked the emotion of the wedding, it was lovely.  It was genuine with lots of love.  Other people we talked to said it was the best wedding they had been too”.
