About Claire

My name is Claire Coorie and it gives me great pleasure to assist you with your ‘big day’.

My background and life experiences come from 17 years in the Hospitality Industry as well over past 15 years a progression of secretarial and customer service positions in Medical, Real Estate and Retail. Each career path involved extensive dealing with the public, this together with my involvement in community work as a Member of Lions Club of Chittaway Bay, has led me to further my studies and become a Civil Celebrant to offer my personal commitment and dedication to share my life skills and offer attention to detail in the preparation of your ceremonies.

Each and every one of us love to celebrate special occasions. You will find me very approachable whether it be for your Wedding, Renewal of Marriage Vows, a ‘Celebration of Life’ that gives full respect for your loved one during a Funeral Service, Naming your Baby or a Commitment Ceremony.

I have a high respect for family values, am a Mother of 3 grown children, have 8 grandchildren and a miniature dog named ‘Pepper’.
