When I dreamed of building Lovebird Sophie, there was never any question about where it would take root. North Queensland has always been home. Not just in the sense of postcode, but in the way the community, the landscape, and the lifestyle have shaped me and the work I love to do.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of organising some of Townsville’s biggest civic events, curating experiences that brought thousands of people together. Those moments taught me how powerful storytelling and detail can be in creating memories that last. But when I stepped into the world of weddings, I knew I wanted to offer something even more personal: a way to help couples feel completely seen, celebrated, and supported on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

Building Lovebird Sophie here in North Queensland means I get to blend my skills as a celebrant, musician, and event planner with the things that make this region extraordinary: tropical sunsets, heritage backdrops, the warmth of community, and a pace of life that invites us to slow down and really savour the moment. Every ceremony, every song, every carefully planned detail carries the spirit of this place — vibrant, heartfelt, and just a little bit magical.
My goal is simple: to bring polish, creativity, and genuine care to every celebration, while offering a premium service that feels seamless from the first conversation to the final toast. Lovebird Sophie isn’t just about creating weddings, it’s about creating an elevated experience where couples feel confident, cherished, and free to enjoy every moment.
On a personal note, I’m a young first-time mum who is excited to carve out her own path — to work for herself, to show her family what’s possible, and to build a reputable brand that gives back to the community that has given me so much. Lovebird Sophie is not only a business, but also a reflection of my heart, my story, and my commitment to creating something lasting here in North Queensland.
So if you’re planning your wedding in North Queensland, you’re not just choosing a destination, you’re embracing a lifestyle and a community that knows how to celebrate love in its own beautiful, unforgettable way. And I can’t wait to help bring your story to life, right here at home.
