About Chris

When I decided to finish up after decades as a High School Principal, I looked for ways to be of use in our community, Becoming a marriage celebrant gave me the opportunity to continue to work with people, learn about them, enjoy a chat or three and have some fun celebrating the happiest days of a couples’ life - and everyone I know keeps saying that I am the perfect person to do this kind of thing, I am open-minded, and see love as love - and I also know I can help with leadership and school improvement - so what not?

I combine deep empathy, proven leadership experience, and exceptional communication skills. With a strong people-first approach, I listen carefully, honour individual stories, and create moments that feel authentic and meaningful—whether crafting a wedding ceremony or guiding a leader through professional growth.

My calm, confident presence and inclusive, values-driven mindset allows people from diverse backgrounds to feel respected and supported.

As a senior education leader and school principal, I bring real-world credibility, strategic insight, and a strong understanding of how trust, clarity, and relationships drive success.

Whether supporting couples at a defining life moment or coaching leaders through complex challenges, I bring integrity, warmth, and purpose to everything I do.

Let’s chat and explore the options!

Chris, the marriage celebrant.
