G’day, I’m Blacky

Welcome… Normally it’s all about you, but here’s a little bit about me.

Professionally, I’m a marriage celebrant, but my journey to this fulfilling role has been anything but conventional. With a diverse background spanning various industries, I've accumulated a wealth of experiences that have shaped me into the celebrant I am today.

My career kicked off in the bustling world of hospitality, where I honed my skills as a sushi chef, managed cafes and restaurants, and even served as a flight attendant for Emirates airline. These roles instilled in me a natural flair for connecting with people, a quality I cherish dearly as a celebrant.

Transitioning into the realm of training and assessing, I had the privilege of instructing Management along with Safety & Emergency Procedures for Emirates, before delving into the coal and mining industries. From exploration drilling to managing gyms and kickboxing studios, and even navigating the intricacies of construction projects, each venture enriched my understanding of teamwork, leadership, and adaptability.

But amidst the hustle and bustle of my professional pursuits, my greatest source of pride and joy is my family. I’m a devoted husband and father to two incredible boys who light up my world. My wife, Tash, is my best mate and constant support. She is the heart and soul of our busy household. 

In every facet of my life, whether it’s crafting a memorable ceremony or cherishing moments with my loved ones, I bring passion, dedication, and a balance of humour. I believe that celebrating love should be as unique as the individuals it unites, and I’m committed to creating meaningful experiences that reflect the essence of each couple I work with. 

Thanks for allowing me to share a glimpse of my journey with you. I hope to connect with you and help create an epic celebration of your love. 

Cheers!
