My name is Ronda Hipwell. I am a wife, mother, grandmother and a teacher, retired from a career that I was very passionate about. Now, my passion is being a Family Celebrant!

Making a difference to people’s lives, seeing people smiling and being happy, being part of an occasion where two people commit themselves to each other in such a meaningful way are all things that are truly important to me. Because of this, your day will be truly important to me as well.

My husband, Manning, and I have been married almost 40 years and we both believe that marriage is one of life’s great adventures. All of our children are married and all have children. These magic moments have become beautiful memories for us and we treasure them very much.

I understand the needs of individuals concerning all forms of celebrations; how diverse celebrations can be; how important these occasions are and how special they are to everyone involved. Stress can be a major factor at this time but by working together we can make your ceremony stress free. What a bonus! Time, planning and commitment are all needed to create the ceremony or celebration you desire and I am more than willing to provide these to you.

The same level of professional service is guaranteed for Weddings, Naming Days, Renewal of Vows and Commitment Ceremonies. It gives me great pleasure to welcome little ones into the world, to watch two people declare their love for one another, and to see everyone smiling and happy at the end of the day.

I would love to meet you, to help you plan a wonderful celebration and add your day to my beautiful memories.
