‘Best job’: Woman shares heartfelt vision behind ‘groovy’ business

With the desire to make weddings all the more special for couples, one Toowoomba woman has started a business and opened up about her surprising new career path.

When Jill Keen played an integral part in the organisation process of her two children’s weddings, she discovered a new passion she wanted to pursue.

After years of working as a quality manager for a training organisation, the Toowoomba woman registered as a marriage celebrant with the intention to tap into her creative side.

“Being part of someone’s special day, sharing in so much joy and being privy to the couple’s unique love story is just the best job,” Ms Keen said.

“I want to help others create a ceremony story that their guests will talk about for a long time.”

Covering the Darling Downs, Tweed Coast and everywhere in between, Ms Keen has also started her own business Groovy Kind of Love Celebrant – a name inspired by her love for music.

“I have one of my uncles to thank for that because when I was little we would always listen to Fleetwood Mac and Creedence Clearwater (Revival) together,” she said.

“I can’t sing a note – I will sing but it will hurt your ears – but I just love music.

“There’s a song for every occasion and for every couple.”
