Mrs Lhotka, who lives in Kellyville, prides herself on creating ceremonies that are intimate and unique.

She said she personalised them to suit the hopes and dreams of each couple.

``With the help of my broad collection of ideas, poetry, and poetry I have written myself, readings, music and rituals, I am able to hand-craft a ceremony that is unique, personal and intimate,'' she said.

``I am passionate about what I do, whether it's a wedding, a baby naming or the renewal of a couple's vows.

``Ceremonies can include a sand ceremony, hand-washing ceremony, wine ceremony, unity candle, butterfly release and invoking ceremony.

``I am committed to creating ceremonies so they have their own special magic.

``I have a collection of equipment that can be used on the day, including a unity lantern which can also be used for butterfly release, a hand-washing font, ceremonial stones, wine goblets and a carafe, coloured sand and a decorated table and chairs.''

Mrs Lhotka said she also enjoyed conducting ceremonies that made the most of Sydney's beautiful natural features.

``I recently had the pleasure of conducting a wedding ceremony, which included the invoking ceremony, for Christine Balodis and Jakub Zverina at the beautiful Royal National Park in the Sutherland Shire,'' she said.

``This was a glorious beach wedding for a lovely couple, celebrated on the date and at the place they first met.

``They grew up in Schofields and have been together since their school days.''
