Testimonials

“SO IMPECCABLE ORGANISED, APPROACHABLE, HELPFUL AND GIFTED WITH WORDS"
Shaun and I just wanted to say from the bottom of our hearts the biggest THANK YOU for the most heartfelt ceremony we could have dreamed of. Not only us but our family and friends were laughing and crying. We were all enthralled in every minute of what you put together. There was not a dry eye in the room (I know because I looked for one to make me stop crying!) The men who ‘do not cry’ had tears.

Our love story was written so beautifully – both equally touching and witty. Our family and friends spoke so highly of the ceremony in full. The ceremony set the tone for the most intimate day of belly laughter and tears (alongside impeccable food and cocktails). Our day was crowned ‘hands down’ everyone’s favourite wedding.

I knew from the beginning you were the right celebrant for us. So impeccably organised, approachable, helpful… as well as gifted with words. The whole experience was easy and seamless.

We will not be a return customer, but we will always recommend you!

Thank you! George & Kathleen

"GENENE WAS THE PERFECT WEDDING CELEBRANT!"
Jacinta and I are so thankful we could have her on our special day. She was exemplary in keeping us on top of our paperwork, vows, ceremony and preparing us for the day. All the little things she organised for us, her attention to detail and professional manner, really made us comfortable going into the wedding. We highly recommend her as a celebrant and can knowingly say she is the best there is!

"GENENE IS PURE BRILLIANCE!"
Where to begin, Genene. You are a master. By choosing you to officiate our marriage this year we witnessed the Midas Touch that is Genene Deakin. I would suggest to anyone seeking a Marriage Celebrant (read: love litterateur, mother of ceremonies, chief of cool) they need not look further than Genene’s LOVE LETTERS webpage. We second each and every sentiment of those who have also entrusted Genene with this very special piece of their marriage.

Every interaction we had with Genene was as delightful as it was professional. From the very first meeting we were overwhelmed with comfort! A big family wedding was not something I had thought I could handle, but we found in Genene the source of reassurance and empowerment we needed to create our celebration our way.

Genene is pure brilliance. We feel so deeply grateful and privileged to have chosen Genene to tie the knot for us, officially.

Pip & Marley

" YOU WERE EVERYTHING WE WANTED IN A CELEBRANT"
We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for being a part of our day and most of all marrying us.

You were everything we wanted in a celebrant; you were professional, calm, organised and so personal which made our ceremony everything and more we had dreamed of.

Genene made our ceremony so personal and special, it really set the precedence for the whole day which was all amazing.
She was extremally professional which made us feel very taken care of throughout the whole process. We did not once have to worry about what to do next as Genene took care of everything.

We would highly recommend using Genene for your special day, she will make it really memorable and special.

Elly & Derek

"WE APPRECIATED YOU SO SO MUCH ON OUR DAY."
Thank you so so much Genene! We hope you loved our ceremony nearly as much as we did. We really loved the day and nothing could have made it any better.

"ORGANISED, DOWN TO EARTH AND GENUINELY LOVELY."
A huge thanks to our amazing celebrant Genene who put together the perfect ceremony for us! After several years of cancellations due to COVID we came across Genene’s website as we looked to relocate our ceremony to Queensland and completely downsize. Nothing but positive energy and constant reassurance that it was going to happen this time around. We couldn’t recommend Genene highly enough – organised, down to earth and genuinely lovely.
