My Story

Welcome to Sentimental Ceremonies, my name is Joanne Williams and I am a Civil Marriage Celebrant.

My experience stems back into Counselling and Energy Healing which radiates through my personality. With this in mind your ceremony will be blessed with the best intentions and loving energy. I am looking forward to meeting your needs on your special day and preparing a ceremony which incorporates your values and wishes and is delivered entirely the way you the desire. 

I consider myself to have a warm, caring and nurturing nature which I believe are essential qualities in the individual you choose to partake in the most significant milestones of your lifetime. Be it uniting two people for a life long loving bond, blessing your beloved child with a naming ceremony or supporting you through the difficult transition of the end of a loved one’s life here on earth, I understand that the people who you surround yourself with during these times can significantly impact the memories made and the moments we share.


II have completed my studies in Marriages, Vow renewals, Baby Naming Ceremonies, Pet Farewells and Funerals - Scattering of Ashes Ceremonies. I hold a Certificate IV in Celebrancy, a certificate IV in Funeral Celebrancy and additionally, I hold a diploma in Counselling and Energy Healing

My repertoire extends beyond my educational accreditation being a mother of four happy children, my eldest being 30, my twin boys are 25 and my youngest is 23, and I am a step mother to 6 additional children. I have been happily re-married for the past 11 years and have said many a heartbreaking goodbyes in my lifetime. I can assure you that I’ve lived a full life and have acquired much wisdom to be the right person to stand with you during your significant moment in the journey we call “life”.

With Love, Joanne
