Testimonials

Best decision we have made! We were drawn to Emma online due to the fact we wanted a tailored wedding to suit our personalities.
She was extremely easy to work with (we had two false starts due to covid) which she was very accommodating and flexible about.
She crafted our ceremony perfectly, with a lovely story around how we met based on our initial meeting with her. He background in play writing shone through. On the day, Emma’s delivery was incredibly polished and our ceremony was the perfect combination of emotion and humour. This is certainly a hard art to get the right balance between the two.
Our guests raved about Emma and her delivery of a ceremony that was “perfect for us”.
We would highly recommend Emma to anyone who is looking for a celebrant. You cannot go wrong!
Thanks again Emma, from the happy newlyweds,
Katrina and Brad

Thanks so much for our ceremony - it was such an amazing day, and one that we will never forget. You were a perfect fit for us as a celebrant, and even though we'd only met a few times you made us feel so comfortable and relaxed - as though we were being married by someone we knew, not just a stranger. Thank you so much for your help and advice in organising everything! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you as a celebrant to future couples.

Sam and Tim

Emma was an amazing addition to our wedding. Choosing a celebrant off a website can be tricky. But Emma made the entire process a breeze. From start to finish it felt like we were dealing with a friend, rather than the stranger she once was. Her professionalism, her helpfulness and her positive, creative flair really made our wedding the perfect event for everyone. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Ten out of ten!! Thanks again Emma!!

Tyler and Dean

Hi Emma,
Firstly, thank you for a wonderful ceremony! We received so many comments on how smooth, engaging and enjoyable the ceremony was. People loved the prologue that you wrote. Only complaint was from a speech maker that their content was stolen (!) but that was my fault for not distributing the prologue!
The running around you did for us when it looked like the rain would move us off the grass was appreciated, so thank you for that too.
Only feedback I have is for you to continue doing the same thing that you're doing now. We thought you did a great job and will be recommending you to any friends getting married in the Hunter.
Thanks again, and best of luck with future weddings.

Hi Emma

Thank you so much for being our celebrant.
The only feedback we have for you: keep everything they way you do it now! It was fantastic to work with you!
We were at a wedding last Saturday, and you were 10 times cooler than that celebrant - and she was pretty good too!
I hope you and the family is well and thanks as well for the booklet you made for us!

Looking for the perfect wedding celebrant? Look no further than Emma! From the moment we met her, Emma’s kindness and expertise were just what we needed. As a brilliant teacher and celebrant, she guided us through creating vows that were heartfelt and uniquely ours. She made our ceremony feel so personal and special—it was like a scene from a dream! All our guests are still raving about how beautiful and perfect everything was. Emma, we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day absolutely magical. You're not just our celebrant, you're a part of our happiest memories!

Alex and Fay

Emma was amazing from start to finish. We were planning our wedding from the UK, but this was no trouble at all for Emma, she was so helpful, and gave so many examples and suggestions for our ceremony. We could also tell Emma put a lot of effort into writing our ceremony, and tailored it perfectly to us. She kept us up to date, and explained everything to us, so we were well prepared, and it put our minds at ease. So many of our guests have already commented on how fantastic our ceremony was, and that they thought Emma was great. We would highly recommend Emma to others.

Eliza and Oli

Emma did such a fantastic job as celebrant for our wedding last month. She's articulate, incredibly professional, but still so approachable and personable. We wanted to create a custom ceremony and Emma was there every step of the way to guide us, provide text material, advise us on wording and structure of the ceremony and go over everything multiple times. Nothing was too much trouble; she even wrote the most beautiful, personalised introduction, which really made the ceremony that bit more special. We were also very impressed by the way Emma went out of her way to take the time to get to know us and was happy to be contacted at any time for any kind of question throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, she was a calm, supportive presence from the first moment, getting there early to check in with us, go over any last minute queries and making sure everything ran smoothly. The ceremony went beautifully, Emma's delivery was perfect - well-spoken, kind and in keeping with the gravity and joy of the occasion. I had so many guests come up to me afterwards and tell me how much they had enjoyed it and what a wonderful job Emma had done. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted from a celebrant when I started looking for one, but I honestly couldn't imagine having found someone better than Emma.

Claire and Olly

Emma was the perfect fit as our wedding celebrant. She was calm, warm and positive throughout all our communications in the planning process and on the big day. Emma took the time to get to know us as a couple, and presented our story in such a beautifully written and heartfelt way at our wedding ceremony. We're very grateful to have worked with such a spectacular celebrant! Thank you Emma!

Felicia and Josh

Emma married my husband Ben and I on 1 May and we cannot speak highly enough of her! The whole process from start to finish was easy, seamless and most importantly, fun! The ceremony Emma wrote was beautiful and we had so many compliments from our wedding guests about her. We have given her name to many. Brides look no further. Thanks so much Emma, we're actually going to miss you!
