Monique Duggan
CIVIL CELEBRANT
Passionate, energetic, friendly, experienced and professional: a Marriage Celebrant with a modern and fun approach to planning your personalised ceremony. My name is Monique Duggan and I have been a Civil Celebrant since 2006. In that time I have performed hundreds of ceremonies, though never more than one on the same day. This means that I have the depth of experience to ensure the highest possible standards of celebrancy, as well as the time to provide you a truly personalised service. I hold a Diploma in Marriage Celebrancy from the Australian College of Celebrancy and a Bachelor of Business in Hotel Management & Tourism from Victoria University. Prior to becoming a celebrant I was involved in Hospitality as well as Wedding, Events and Conference Management. On a personal note, I have an amazing husband and two gorgeous daughters and love travelling, entertaining and going to great restaurants.
