About me

Hi, I’m Julie Sims, affectionately known as Jewels, and I am a fully registered Civil Celebrant in accordance with the Marriage Act 1961, an official member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants and a member of Australian Marriage Celebrants – with a lot of love to give!

I live close to the scenic village of Tyalgum, Northern NSW, and I am more than happy to share these beautiful surrounds with you, or travel to a venue of your choice.

I have performed both formal and alternative ceremonies in the past, I enjoy Celtic traditions such as hand-fasting, and often include smudging with sage, anointing with essential oils and using henna to create beautiful moments and memories.

I genuinely love the challenge of creating magical moments between couples. It is so lovely to watch families coming together to share a wedding or a baby naming celebration. I have hosted many “Belly Blessing ways” with mums-to-be and had a few of my own too! I am passionate about my role as celebrant and would be delighted to be a positive and calm influence on your special day.

I became a civil marriage celebrant because I believe in a thing called love! I have a kind heart and am patient and sensitive to other people’s needs and wishes. As your celebrant I offer unique, boutique, bespoke ceremonies with a hint of magic.
