Your Celebrant for Funeral and Memorial Services

Celebrant Nina

Hello, I’m Nina, an authorised civil celebrant that blends professionalism with a relaxed, empathetic and approachable style. I enjoy meeting people and using my skills to craft the best ceremony I can that is both meaningful and reflective of your loved one’s unique story. I am also a qualified counsellor, trained to focus and listen to you, which is an important part of being a celebrant. I will be sensitive and compassionate to your circumstances, working in a calm collaborative manner with you, and together we will work out the best way to give your person their deserved and rightful funeral that highlights their best attributes and achievements and is a true depiction of them in beautiful ceremony.

With over two decades on the Mid North Coast, where I’ve raised my family, I’ve grown deeply connected to this beautiful region and its vibrant community and it is always an honour to be trusted with the privileged job of assisting people with their wishes for funerals and memorials.

In my spare time you’ll find me enjoying precious time with family and friends or exploring places with my darling dog. This keeps me grounded and connected. Whenever I’m feeling brave and the season is right, you may find me enjoying an early morning dip in the ocean, otherwise I’m painting. I find these activities enriching and rewarding. I am a keen artist and particularly enjoy painting wildlife.

My background includes volunteering with Lifeline in Port Macquarie, where I learned first hand the profound impact of community support. This experience inspired me to continue serving others in a meaningful way through my role as a celebrant.

Whether you’re celebrating a loved one or saying a heartfelt goodbye, my aim is to help you create a ceremony that is distinctive, personal, respectful and memorable.

Thank you Nina for making Bill’s service beautiful. You did such a wonderful job. Thank you for all of the advice and direction you were able to give to my family and myself when organising all the Celebration of Life arrangements. It took a lot of pressure off of us during this crazy time and your kind heart and professional approach made everyone feel comfortable on the day. We were blessed to have you arrange Billy’s special day and would not have known where to start without your support, kindness and empathy.

Exceptionally well presented service that not just captured the true spirit of the person he was, but took us on a journey both in content and emotions. It was a great and fitting tribute.

Nina was so professional and did such a wonderful job blending solemnity with a little humour as he would have appreciated. The service highlighted all his amazing attributes and achievements and was a true representation of the person I knew. It was heartfelt and also uplifting. I highly recommend Nina as a celebrant.
