OPEN-HEARTED CEREMONIES FOR ALL LIFE’S RITES OF PASSAGE
Hi, I’m Tanya.
Picture the scene… Your loved ones gather, anticipation and excitement rippling through the assembled guests. Your heart skips a beat as you set eyes on your beloved. You are dazzled! All that you have hoped and dreamt of coming together in this fabulous, sparkling, timeless moment.
Consider all the twists of life that brought you together. Consider too, all the planning, work, fittings, decisions and discussions that go into creating the day you’ve dreamt of forever… Your ceremony is the most important part of the day and deserves the same meticulous attention. It takes thought, heart and carefully-crafted words, tailored precisely to fit around you both. Your dress or suit may have been skillfully sewn to fit you perfectly and these ceremonial words weave magically around you and hold you as a couple in much the same way. They spell out the recipe for your union from this moment on. You are, after all, making history!
As we get to know each other in our preliminary meetings, you’ll find me supportive, present and a good listener. I’m a pro at drawing out your story even if you don’t know where to begin. You will feel seen and heard, and I will be on hand throughout with words of encouragement.
You will feel like your ceremony is being conducted by your biggest fan and friend. I speak the Queen’s English as well as Portuguese and a smattering of other languages, having lived in a number of countries and travelled all over the world. I will bring added warmth, class and fun in all the right places.
Please message me now for an informal chat about how you would like your ceremony, be it wedding, vow renewal, gender shifts, naming, blessing of house, boat or camper, or for the utmost in caring and personalised transitions.
