ABOUT ME
Although Stand By Me Ceremonies are very much about you, this page is all about me, Paul
I often get asked why I became a celebrant. I guess there are a few factors, including turning 40 and starting a family.
​
I was a high school teacher for 10 years, then a touring musician for 10, now I'm a celebrant.
​
It's been a funny old journey!
TRAVEL
With all the places I've travelled to, and all the experiences I've had over the years, the one thing that ties them all together, is my love of people.
I love getting to know someone's story.
I'm very open minded; same sex, opposite sex and gender fluid couples are all the same to me. I just want to get to know your story, and tell it to all the people you love.
I love my job.
MY OWN WEDDING
Here's me at my own wedding, what a beautiful day it was! I remember it like it was yesterday.
​
We hired a registrar, and we were lucky as the lady who led our ceremony was lovely. We only met her on the day of our wedding though, so if we'd known about it at the time, we'd have definitely searched for the right celebrant for us
MUSIC
As a musician, I've played at hundreds of weddings and celebrations over the years. In fact, our band has travelled all over the world doing that.
We've also been in a film with Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel. How random is that!?
​
I'd be happy to incorporate live music into your ceremony, see some options here
