Kind Words
Perfect Ceremony
Sally was wonderful. She tailored the whole ceremony to be perfectly fitting to our very international wedding. She also got to know us and our story as a couple and made the ceremony feel very much like "us" - including humorous bits as well as serious and romantic bits. I had several guests later comment that the ceremony was perfect - from what was said to timing - not too long, not too short. It felt right. We're so happy we've chosen Sally!

Warm, Personable Celebrant. Fully Recommend.
We cannot thank Sally enough for helping kick start the day for us and our guests. Sally's words were so lovely and personal to us, we are so glad we found her to help tell our story to our guests. We received lots of really lovely comments about Sally, her words and the ceremony and we are so happy we decided to include a short ceremony (even if we may have seemed more reluctant than others for any focus / attention!). Sally really helped put us at ease with her warm and friendly nature.

Just amazing!
Sally was absolutely amazing as the celebrant for our wedding. Her ceremony was so personal and meaningful - we have had so many comments from guests saying that it was the nicest ceremony they’d ever been to. Would definitely recommend!

Better than we could have imagined
We had an instant connection with Sally, she is professional, experienced and full of life. We couldn’t have asked Sally to deliver a ceremony better than she did. Sally understood how we wanted our ceremony and our vision perfectly and we had so many compliments on the ceremony itself, sally’s humour and how she told our love story. We also incorporated a sand pouring ceremony which united me my husband and my teenage sons together. It was such a special moment.

Calming & professional yet upbeat and fun
We’re so happy we found Sally - she makes you feel so comfortable, calm and able to just enjoy what can be a nerve wracking moment. Sally really got to know us and set the tone from the very first call by having a giggle with us, chatting golf to Scott and always putting our hopes/wants first. She’s a professional and we felt fully confident that she had the whole thing in her control but also whilst bringing a very relaxed and happy vibe. Thank you so much Sally, our ceremony was our favourite part of the day!

Perfect celebrant, listened to, unique, warm, kind.
We can’t recommend Sally enough as a celebrant. We felt heard throughout the whole process of creating our perfect ceremony. Sally listened to everything we wanted to include and advised us with her wealth of experience on things that we’re unsure about, offering ideas and solutions we hadn’t thought or known about before.
Sally is such a lovely warm person and her presence shines through whilst she works to make the couple shine too. We were inundated with guests saying the ceremony was the most special they had ever been to. Some saying they had not listened to the words of a wedding for years as they’re usually all the same, but that they listened to every word of this.
Sally knows how to make her couples feel truly valued and creates ceremonies unique to them.
She kept the groom grounded and calm before the ceremony & helped our friend learn how to do an infinity knot for our handfasting. she was also so flexible with a last minute change of ceremony time so that we could wait for the sun to shine down on us. We have the most treasured memories from our ceremony.
Sally will make your ceremony as special and unique as you are.

Amazing Lady!
Dear Sally,
We cannot thank you enough for the incredibly meaningful and personalised ceremony you created for our wedding. Your attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of our love story made the day even more special.
Your words were heartfelt, and your guidance throughout the process was invaluable. We felt comfortable and confident in your hands from start to finish, and the ceremony you crafted for us was truly unforgettable.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and personalised the ceremony was. It truly reflected our love story and the commitment we made to each other, and that is all thanks to you.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had you as our celebrant, and we cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into making our day unforgettable. We will cherish the memories of our ceremony forever, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you again for everything.

Sally is a wonderful celebrant!
Sally was our celebrant at our wedding in late March, and we absolutely loved working with her! She was so understanding, patient and a pleasure to listen to. She worked with us to deliver a speech that really represented us, and our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran. Thank you so much for being part of our big day!
