About Me

Traditions - Unity - Equality

My love for weddings and celebrations stems back to Belluca Consultancy, the wedding and event styling business that I ran for 7 years. We helped create beautiful memories for a number of couples and made the planning process simple. We also did a number of corporate events. Belluca Ceremonies was a natural progression from this. In 2017, I came to mind for both my brother and his finacée when they were talking about what elements they would like for their up coming nuptials in 2018. “Without question” they wanted me to be the officiant. Based on my warmth, welcoming personality and ability to make the wedding personal whilst being professional. I grew up in Sydney and moved to Armidale in 2010 with my young family. I travel between Armidale and Sydney regularly and I’m happy to travel to other parts of the country. Organising your ceremony is a very exciting task but can be daunting. I will spend time with you, understanding your wishes for inclusion but also advising on the requirements that are legally binding. I will look after the forms, registrations and certificates. Let’s meet up for an obligation free coffee and a chat about your ideas and vision for your ceremony, to see if I am the right celebrant for you.

  • Words can't express just how amazing Veronica was throughout our entire wedding ceremony process. We had a traditional Viking / Handfasting / Sword Exchange Ceremony and can honestly say that without Veronica's knowledge and expertise in the old ways our ceremony wouldn't have been the memorable occasion it was. She listened to everything we asked for, then made what we wanted a million times better than we thought possible.All of our guests have been raving about just how awesome the ceremony was. This is down to Veronica!And even better, we have now gained a friend throughout the entire process.Thank you so much Veronica - you're the GOAT!!Riarna & James – October 2022

  • We would recommend Veronica as a celebrant without hesitation! She married us this past December and the ceremony that she prepared for us set the perfect tone for the perfect day! She listened to what was important to us and made lots of wonderful suggestions (particularly the hand fasting part of the ceremony). Veronica brought it all into a magical ceremony that we were very happy with going into the day. Then she delivered with such empathy and emotion that everyone made comment to us about how poignant and well thought out every part was. Simply fabulous! Peter B – December 2018
  • We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Veronica and I'm certian that anyone would have a great experience with her. She was very warm and helpful during the whole process and has a naturally bubbly, warm and calm personality that makes the ceremony feel rich, sinsere and playful. She was organised, she told us exactly what we needed to do and even helped on the day with getting group photos. She's excellent with kids and made our flower girl feel very comfortable with her reading. Veronica did the 'rope tying' ritual which we would also highly recommend. We received so many complements from our guests about the ceremony and Veronica's style specifically. Luisa O – January 2024
  • Veronica, we are so glad we chose you! Although you think you're not funny (you definitely are!) you matched us perfectly. Our experience was seamless and your assistance through the whole process was so welcome. As most of your client base, I'm sure, we have never been married before! Having your expertise and knowledge, answering our questions, and guiding us was invaluable. Thank you so much for being there for our big day, we can't say enough how much we appreciate you. Erin D – August 2024
  • Veronica was perfect for our special day! We chose to keep things short and simple, but Veronica managed to give it a lovely personal touch. Thanks Veronica Tom F – September 2018
