Love and Understanding – Stephen Miller Marriage Celebrant
Stephen Miller has been happily married for the past thirty years, I can also lay claim to knowing a fair bit about making marriages successful. Fast forward to today, I’m now a fully registered marriage celebrant, enjoying utilising my organisation skills, a love of public speaking and writing about people’s stories. I really didn’t just want to be another ‘run-of-the-mill’ celebrant so if you are looking for fresh and interesting then look no further. By choosing me I know you will look back fondly and remember how your celebrant not only presented a beautiful ceremony but also genuinely cared as much about your big day as you did yourself. So if you need a celebrant for a wedding ceremony, naming ceremony or commitment ceremony give Stephen a call.
