Hi, I’m Karen Twyford. Wife, Mum, Step-Mum, Fur Mum, Nanny and Celebrant.
Ready for the vibe check? I’m so thrilled, let’s make a time to meet. Whether it’s a chat over the phone, via Zoom or in person – it’s up to you. Fill in the form below and we’ll arrange a time.
Uniquely personal touches
Affordable sophistication
Lifelong cherished memories
I grew up on Sydney’s northern beaches but have been lucky enough to call the Gold Coast home for over 20 years which makes me a Queenslander, but not when it comes to State of Origin!
I’m also a Training, Learning & Development professional with a background in Admin and Compliance so attention to detail is my thing!
I like to think I’m young at heart, friendly, warm, calm and genuine. I’m definitely reliable, punctual, hardworking and, when there’s a task at hand (like writing your ceremony), I’m 100% committed to getting it right.
I love travelling, good food, cooking, a cold buttery Chardonnay and hanging out with my family and friends.
I’m a Celebrant because I love love and I honestly believe there is no greater honour or privilege than to be present when two people commit to each other for life.
Karen was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. Luke was extremely nervous about the whole day especially the formalities. Karen casually chatted to him while waiting for me, to help calm his nerves. It was like having a friend up there with him.
We were so unsure of the process at the beginning and had no idea where to start with the planning but all the information you provided, made it clear and simple.
We both wanted something simple and suited to our relationship and Karen made sure this happened. She takes the time to really know her clients and understand their needs for the day. All of the guests thought the ceremony was perfect and relaxed, and showed our true love story. I would recommend Karen in a heartbeat.
Karen was so warm, welcoming and loving from our very first meeting. We knew instantly she was the perfect person to marry us. She wrote the most perfect ceremony script for us and everyone told us after how beautiful it was all worded.
Karen, everyone thought you were lovely and radiated a beautiful energy. Thank you for marrying us, we are so deeply happy and in love with everything.
We were fortunate enough to have Lady Kaz Celebrations recommended to us by a family member when we were organising our wedding and we are so thankful for this recommendation. Karen exceeded our expectations. She is kind, professional and approachable. Any queries we had, she soon put us at ease.
On the day our ceremony was perfect and we couldn't have been happier. Our guests thought our wedding was the best! A beautiful ceremony that didn't drag on, said all the right things and then it was time to party. Thank you Karen x
From the second we met Karen, it just felt right. She understood us as a couple and gave us the most beautiful suggestions to include in our ceremony. We had no idea what we were doing but Karen looked after us with such love and care. Our wedding was the most special day in our lives, and that is all due to Karen.
Karen really understood us as a couple and delivered the most beautiful and memorable ceremony for us.
Javier and I had the immense pleasure of inviting Karen to be our celebrant for our wedding. As it was scheduled during the year of constant change, our plans reflected just that. From our first planning meeting with Karen to the final plan D day, Karen was supportive flexible and positive to our ideas and changes.
Karen’s lovely calm and organised manner helped us greatly to remain focused on the planning and finally the wonderful day.
She meet us as a couple prior and asked all the right questions to understand who we were and how we came to be as a couple. Eventually our wedding was a very personal day with just our adult children. Karen’s service was very touching mixed with some humour and highlights.
Karen’s attention to detail shows. My daughter, who has attended many weddings, commented on the way Karen's notes were in a beautiful presentation book and her consideration towards colours of the bride's choice. We are so thrilled we had Karen as a witness to our marriage.
Karen, we are both incredibly grateful with your professionalism, your gentle manner on sensitive subjects (Covid lockdowns and overly stressed bride), you adapted quickly and without hesitation to the many changes that needed to occur, and we both believe you went above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect from their celebrant.
We spent much time on our honeymoon reflecting on the wedding day (and the lead up) and how nothing ended up being what we had originally envisaged however we were both so grateful and appreciative of how well put together everything turned out in the end, and you most definitely played quite a large role in making our day as perfect as it was. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Don’t let the planning overwhelm you. Together we’ll design the perfect ceremony that’s affordable, memorable and continues to honour & celebrate your unique love story.
