Celebrant Services on the Sunshine Coast
Samantha Curnow
Celebrant · Community Advocate · Trusted Guide Through Life's Milestones
Since 2001, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families during some of life's most meaningful moments. As an experienced celebrant on the Sunshine Coast, my career has spanned commitment ceremonies, vow renewals, naming days, funerals, and memorial services — each crafted with care, dignity, and deep respect for the people at the heart of the occasion.
Personalised Ceremonies for Every Occasion
Every ceremony I deliver is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique story, values, and personality of those involved. Whether celebrating love, welcoming new life, honouring cherished memories, or supporting families through loss, my commitment is simple: to create a service that is personal, memorable, and truly representative of the life or relationship being celebrated.
Beyond Ceremonies
Community & Service
Respite Care & Compassion
My volunteer journey began in respite care for children with disabilities — an experience that shaped my understanding of compassion and practical support.
Cancer Council Noosa
As Chairperson of Cancer Council Noosa, I was honoured with the "Spirit of the Challenge" award from Cancer Council Queensland, and nominated as a finalist in the Noosa Volunteer of the Year Award.
The Flying Solo Group
Recognising the need for ongoing support for those experiencing grief, I established The Flying Solo Group — Sunshine Coast, a support network for individuals navigating life after the loss of a loved one.
Service Excellence
I was honoured to receive the Customer Service Award from Invocare Australia, reflecting my commitment to thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and genuine care during emotionally significant times.
With decades of experience and a heartfelt dedication to the communities I serve, I understand that no two lives — and no two ceremonies — are ever the same. My role is to listen carefully, guide respectfully, and create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and beautifully aligned with your wishes.

Organising a Ceremony can be extremely stressful — Sam made the process so easy and was there to guide us through and make the Ceremony just as we had dreamed. I recommend her to anyone looking for a Celebrant who is professional, flexible and kind.

We had the privilege of having Samantha both renew our Wedding Vows and Celebrate the Life of my late father. You will not find anyone more invested and exceptional as Samantha.
