Testimonials

Dear Celeste,

Thank you so much for creating such an intimate and beautiful ceremony for our wedding held at Dicky Beach on 9th September, 2005. Our day was wonderful in every way.
Right from the moment we met you, your warm and friendly nature made us feel at ease. You are a wonderful marriage celebrant and we will be only too happy to recommend you to other couples. We had numerous guests comment on how lovely our ceremony was –
this is a real credit to you!

Once again thank you so much.

Dear Celeste,

Myself and Matt would just like to say a huge thank you to you for a wonderful ceremony. I know you have probably heard this many times before but so many people have told us that it was the best ceremony they have ever been too. It was amazing watching you get just as emotional throughout the ceremony as we were. We are very sorry we could not tell you sooner what a wonderful job you did we have only really just settled back in from our honeymoon.

You did such an amazing job Celeste!!! I never imagined that my wedding would be as beautiful as you made it. I am so grateful that I was able to find you. Everyone really loved what you did for it.

Once again thank you very much

Dear Celeste,

Our wedding day was a joy and great memory to all, much of which we owe to you. We have had so many comments from people concerning the ceremony, its originality and how well you related the ceremony to our lives together. Most, if not all, we have spoken to have clearly said that it is the best ceremony they have ever seen at a wedding. Do we believe them? Of course we do! We think it is the best ceremony we have been to as well.

Thank you so much Celeste for the time, effort and energy you put into making this a wonderful ceremony for us. We will never forget our day and we will never forget the reaction it had on people which made it all the more special. You are a true talent and we owe you a debt of gratitude, so thanks.

Kindest regards
Chris and Danielle

Thanks Celeste,

Funny how everyone cried wasn’t it, my brother-in-law said to me when I was reading my vows he thought, hmmm must be a new meaning for Happiness Tim is crying! Well it had been a big few days leading up to our wedding, some of my siblings who hadn’t spoken to each other in a while all came together for the occasion, and amongst our guests there were even some ex-partners who hadn’t seen each other for five years, so I guess the emotions were running high. In my case, I was just so overwhelmed to be there and so excited that I was marrying Victoria, and coupled with remembering how much my vows had moved Victoria the first time I met her, I just couldn’t hold it together. But you knew that didn’t you, I remember when we met you for coffee in Cooroy that day you said I'd be emotional on the day, well you were right!

You will be happy to know that there were less tears for the rest of the day, we had a fantastic breakfast, after which we moved down to Catos around midday to celebrate with a few drinks. Well, we wrapped up at Catos around 7:30pm (can you believe it!) everyone had such a good day and Victoria got to wear her dress for 12 hours, which she loved (so did I, she's just beautiful).

As we said in our letter to you, our guests all thought you were part of the family by the way you spoke and the ceremony you put together, it was just so great and you will always have a special place in our lives. I guess you have a special place in a lot of people’s lives and I now understand how you would get so much satisfaction out of being a marriage celebrant. Two of our friends at our wedding are panning to get married early next year and they said they will not even think about getting another celebrant, so there you go, we have passed on your details.

And you know I have a bit more feed back for you, I guess it was the words and thoughts in our ceremony that have inspired two of the girls there to make some life changes, they said it was our wedding ceremony that made them realise a few things. Anyway their life changes are most definitely for the better, isn’t it amazing how situations, actions, words effect others. Inspirational.

Love Tim & Victoria

Hi Celeste
IThank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. I can't tell you how many people commented on how brilliant you were and the fact that it was one of the nicest ceremonies they had been to. It was genuine and you adapted a ceremony perfectly suited not only to the situation but also our ersonalities. People really enjoyed it. Not only that - we absolutely loved it! Again, thank you and good luck in the future - I have no doubt you'll continue to make people immeasurably
happy!

From the moment we met Celeste, we felt comfortable knowing that she was going to be attending to our wedding. Her reassuring and friendly manner was immediately such a relief upon our first discussions. The process form start to finish was professional. On the day comments were made by friends and family of the wonderful relaxed and friendly atmosphere created by our celebrant who it seemed may have been a friend of the family. Celeste contributed such a huge part in us achieving for us the perfect wedding day. Thank you so very much.

Celeste,
Just a quick message to say thank you for such a great ceremony on Saturday. As you no doubt worked out Richard and I were very hesitant about the ceremony, but not only were we relieved that you kept it simple and non flowery we found that we were very proud of it. We had many people come up to us afterwards and complement the words you put together and many said they were very happily emotional about the “service”. I was also very grateful for the casual flexibility you showed when you arrived on Saturday, I think that helped put our nerves at ease as it was the kind of atmosphere we were hoping for.

We both thank you again,
Amanda

Hi Celeste,

Gavin and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful ceremony that you wrote and performed for us. It was so us, you are a truly talented lady, fabulous! It was amazing to get feedback about how unique and beautiful the ceremony was from people that you would least expect to comment on such things... We had a wonderful day and you contributed greatly to that.

Thank you,
Sarah and Gavin Hoolihan

Hi Celeste

I have a moment free and thought I must supply some feedback to you! I know I said i'd do it whilst John is away, Juanita our photographer just sent us some photo's, so I thought what better time than now..

Thanks so much again for your lovely efforts for and on our special day. We had such a great day and it was so great to have everything go off so smoothly. It was great finally meeting you in person a couple of days before the wedding.
When I first called you I was going to have a chat and see what you were like but knew instantly that I wanted you to marry us and contribute to our wedding. My dad was also taken by you when we first met.

I wished I had had more time writing my vowels, its amazing how all of the wedding preparation can over load your life and the finer priorities such as vowels almost tend to get overlooked, even being one of the most important areas, if not the most important. However on the day it could not have been more perfect and heartfelt.

All we have received to date is awesome feedback which is so fabulous!!. The only slight thing I have is with the wind that day. Some of the guests only slightly heard the ceremony, some all of it and some none of it, but I guess we cannot control the weather and were glad it was sunny and lovely. Otherwise, you provided an excellent, caring and sincere ceremony and throughout the process was ever so helpful, generous with your time and always there for any little thought or advice. I would not have had a florist without you!! You as a person truly are reflected in your beautiful work. Many thanks again for everything and please do keep in touch!

Dear Celeste
Thank you for all your efforts. Everyone enjoyed the day greatly and I have had a number of people tell me specifically that they thought you were fantastic and an excellent choice. My now mother-in-law had never been to a civil wedding and was a bit sceptical about the idea but was fully won over by you. Our guests loved the vows as they were personal and applied to us rather than being a generic statement, they have told me that it was a very warm ceremony. I am sure there is some bias but a large number of guests have decided it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Certainly everything went very smoothly and it was a great day, with even the weather finally co-operating.

Once again thank you.
