SALLY WILLIAMS CELEBRANT

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to people and their stories - the joyful ones, the heartfelt ones, the quiet ones that take time to tell. It’s this deep appreciation for human connection that led me into a career in television over 30 years ago, and it’s what continues to guide me in my work today as a Civil Celebrant. (And yes, if you’re thinking, "That’s the lady from Brand Power!", you’re absolutely right!)

Whether I’m standing beside a couple on their wedding day, or helping a family farewell someone they love, I believe every ceremony deserves to be crafted with warmth, care, and genuine understanding. To me, it all begins with listening. Sitting down with couples, families, or close friends to gently draw out memories, values, hopes and stories … that’s where the real magic starts.  From there, together, we create something meaningful, personal, and true.

I believe it’s incredibly important to bring a calm and steady presence to each moment, to be a source of strength and gentle guidance, supporting people in the way they need most. My clients place their trust in me to hold space for them, to honour their emotions, and to bring heart, clarity, and kindness to the occasion. Whether we’re laughing together or holding space for tears, I see it as a privilege to walk alongside others during life’s biggest milestones.

Every person, every couple, and every life is unique … and your ceremony should be, too. With a light touch of humour when the moment calls for it, and the ability to read the room and adapt, I work to ensure each ceremony feels just right. Not overly formal. Not overly scripted. Just honest, thoughtful, and filled with meaning.

I work Victoria-wide and regularly travel interstate and overseas to officiate ceremonies. Whether it’s a wedding, an elopement, or a farewell, my focus remains the same: to create a ceremony that is heartfelt, genuine, and deeply meaningful for everyone involved.

It’s a true privilege to be invited into these personal and powerful moments. 

If you feel I may be the right celebrant to help share your story — be it the joyful beginning of something new or a beautiful tribute in farewell — I’d be honoured to connect.  Let’s create a ceremony that feels true to you and will be remembered by all and for all the right reasons.

As a Wedding Celebrant, it’s my absolute joy to create ceremonies that celebrate love in all its forms - joyful, inclusive, heartfelt, and fun!

Whether your wedding is big and bold or small and intimate, I’ll work closely with you both to craft a ceremony that feels completely your own - one that reflects your story, your vibe, and your love.

You’ll find more details over on my Weddings page, and if you’d like a feel for how I work, you’re very welcome to read through some of my testimonials - they say it better than I ever could!

But what I can promise you right here and now is this: I’ll be with you every step of the way -  supporting you, guiding you, and helping to create a day that’s truly unforgettable. One filled with warmth, laughter, and all the love in the world.

A Funeral Ceremony, Celebration of Life, Memorial Service, Graveside Committal, or Wake is a time to honour and affirm a life - to say goodbye in a way that feels respectful, personal, and comforting.

As a Funeral Celebrant, I take great care in helping families create a ceremony that reflects the life and spirit of their loved one. Every story is different, and every farewell should be, too. I take time to listen, to learn, and to understand, so together we can create a service that offers solace, celebrates legacy, and holds space for both grief and gratitude.

You’ll find more information and reflections from families I’ve worked with on my Funerals page.
