With my recent awards from the IOEE and SFEDI for enterprise skills, my approach is all about ensuring your ceremony is a beautiful experience that is also seamlessly professional.

Our Story
I started offering celebrancy because I found that life's biggest moments—from beautiful weddings to heartfelt goodbyes—often felt stuck in standard, impersonal services. As a writer, I know the real power of finding the perfect words, and I was determined to offer something much more personal and meaningful.
What truly inspires me is getting to be the person you trust with your story. It’s a huge privilege to hear your unique history, put those deep feelings into a confident, one-of-a-kind ceremony, and make sure you feel totally relaxed and present on the day.
My background is built on years of public speaking and a passion for great storytelling. I set up Tip Your Hat to offer clients expert planning, reliable confidence, and ceremonies that are written just for them—a genuine reflection of a life well-lived or a love deeply shared.
