Whether it’s the big emotional moments or the tiny details, I make sure everything flows beautifully and reflects who you are — with warmth, personality, and a touch of style!

Picking Megumi to be our wedding celebrant was a no-brainer. We had a non-traditional wedding and she adapted her work to suit us PERFECTLY. She is such a good vibe! Megumi was with us the whole way; from initial plans, to our initial wedding venue cancelling on us, to finding the final venue, she was considerate, kind, fun, and an absolute treat to work with! Our ceremony was an immaculate mix of fun and heartfelt, and the story she wrote for us was so beautiful. My husband and I, along with our guests, can't stop speaking so highly of Megumi's work. Thank you so much!!

My husband and I recently had our wedding where we engaged Megumi as both our celebrant and MC - wow! What a delight she was. From the very first meeting through to the final hours of our reception, Megumi was on point, professional, proactive and had great energy. A moment that stood out to us was when we unexpectedly had all our guests eliminated for our heads or tails game during our reception and Megumi rose to the occasion was able to create a 2nd round on the spot! We feel so grateful to have Megumi as part of our special day <3 we can't recommend her more!

Highly recommend Megumi!! We got married down in the Southern Highlands in September this year and did the Heart & Soul package. Megumi did an incredible job capturing our story. She totally got the vibe we were going for and set the perfect tone for the start of the celebrations. We loved that she took a ‘fun, but never silly’ style to the ceremony. It was entertaining but still sentimental. Not to mention her fantastic fashion sense!! So many of our guests came up to us afterwards with compliments for Megumi. I can honestly say that the ceremony was mine and my husband's favourite part of our wedding day and Megumi was such a big part of the reason why!! Thank you, Megumi for the thought, care and love you put into our day.

Megumi is an incredible celebrant and day-of-coordinator. She captured the vibe we were going for and made a beautiful speech for the ceremony. She was also extremely organised and helpful in coordinating the day as well. Everything went perfectly thanks to her hard work consistently throughout the event and that allowed us to relax on our wedding day. She made sure everything was where it should be and on time. Highly recommend her for both celebrant and coordination services!

Megumi was our celebrant for our legals only ceremony in Sydney. She was all in all a wonderful celebrant who smoothly arranged all the practicalities of the ceremony for us, always on hand for updates/clarifications, and was such a joyful and reassuring presence on the day. We flew in from abroad and had to reschedule last minute for our initial date due to a visa issue. Megumi graciously accommodated us and we were blessed to have her for our big day. Couldn’t recommend Megumi more highly.

Megumi was an amazing celebrant. She was incredibly thoughtful and thorough from start to finish. She placed so much thought into making our day as special as possible, by supporting us through the planning stage all the way through to detailed tips on the day for smooth execution. My husband and I were even able to infuse our cultural background into our ceremony with Megumi's help, and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a celebrant who could relate with an Asian Australian background with a modern touch. Megumi has great attention to detail and organisation, keeping us on track on the day as well as fashion that is on point with the brief. We opted for a Simple and Sweet which was informative on what to expect/ plan early.

Could not recommend Megumi more! Megumi was our Celebrant/MC/Coordinator for our wedding and was one of the best decisions we made. Her calm presence, beautiful words and positive demeanour just made our day. She was so organised (particularly when we were not) and really made the whole day come together. Her communication was great and I would highly recommend her - with Megumi on your side you'll just have the best day!

We decided to have our wedding in Australia, but to be honest, we felt quite overwhelmed at first because there were so many things we didn't know about planning a wedding overseas. That's why we chose Megumi as our celebrant. As an international couple, having a celebrant who could communicate with us in both Japanese and English was incredibly helpful and reassuring from the very beginning. I still remember meeting Megumi for the first time during our consultation. She was warm, cheerful, and always willing to answer our questions. Her support made us feel much more confident and comfortable throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her professional guidance and wonderful delivery of the ceremony. We were able to relax, enjoy every moment, and focus on celebrating our special day without any worries. We are truly grateful that we chose Megumi as our celebrant. I would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. For us, having someone who could communicate in both Japanese and English was incredibly valuable, especially as my family traveled from Japan to attend our wedding. It helped everyone feel comfortable and included throughout the celebration. Thank you so much, Megumi, for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable!

Megumi was such a great guide in the lead up to and during our special day. Every question answered, great communication and suggestions, where needed, and managed to keep the ceremony on track despite our blasé and care-free attitude on the day! Highly recommend Megumi! Thank you!

A bit more about me

I grew up in Tokyo, watching all the Hayao Miyazaki anime before Studio Ghibli existed and playing the first “Family Computer” aka Nintendo games. In my teens and early 20s, I lived and breathed Tokyo street culture and fashion.

I was always good at Japanese and English in school. After high school, I wanted to become a fashion editor but my parents said they’d only pay for an English course. Fine, English it was.

Naturally, I became interested in living in an English speaking country. I saved hard for a year and hoped to go to London – because that was where all the cool fashion and culture came from, but the study program I was with offered me Australia instead.
Australia? Koala? Warmer? Fine, Australia then.

I had an awesome time. Hanging out in a Brisbane shopping mall with Savage Garden on repeat…

… wasn’t quite like the cool London life I imagined, but Australia won me over. With my newly aquired Aussie English, I spent most of my 20s in and out of Tokyo, travelling around the world – Europe, South East Asia, India, China and Japan. No career ambitions or life plans, I just travelled… And I had the time of my life!

But…when travelling becomes your daily life, you eventually starts to crave structured “normal” life. Eventually I came back to Australia, studied more and became an interpreter/translator. I met my husband at Cricketer’s Arms in Surry Hills, designed clothes with him, sold vintage scandinavian homeware, became a wife, mother of 2 beautiful girls, and a celebrant, initially part time, now this is my full time job.

I love fashion, art, Japanese and Indian food, sake over wine, some coffee, more green tea.
And yes, I do love Hello Kitty—we were born in the same year! (but don’t look it up how old hahaha)

Let's get started!
