Melissa thank you so much for being the best marriage celebrant EVER. Your were always professional while being relaxed at all times. You helped and guided us throughout the whole process from our first meeting to saying we are husband and wife. All night our guests complemented you to us. We will be forever grateful to you for making our wedding so very special. Thank you again love Veronica and Dave

Veronica and Dave

We can't thank you enough for your services on our wedding day. We wanted our day to be as relaxed as possible for everyone involved and you helped us from the start clearly outlining everything that we needed to know leaving us with confidence that the ceremony would be perfect. Your professionalism and friendliness made everything easy and we would happily recommend you as a Celebrant to anyone.! Thank you so much!!!!!

Liv and Kitch

Thank you so much for being our celebrant on our special day. We had a wonderful time and so glad the weather held out for us! Chris and I are so grateful for everything you have done for us for our wedding day. Thank you for making the day run so smoothly. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful- and exactly the way we imagined it. we could not have done this without you. Thank you for all your preparation and time- it was such a lovely surprise to come home and see that you have included the ceremony booklet, which of course will be treasured forever. So again from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Claudia and Chris

We wish to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude for our outstanding wedding ceremony. We knew instantly the first time we met that you were the celebrant for us. You have such an easy going, down to earth and friendly personality. You were so organised every step of the way and conducted the service so professionally conveying all the emotions of this wonderful occasion. You gave us the service that we had envisaged, personal, caring and humorous, following all our requests and offering wonderful advice when needed. Thank you so much for making our day even more special. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing your services, they’d be crackers if they didn’t take this advice! P.S. Our Marriage Certificate arrived in 1 week, you have more pull down at Births, Deaths and Marriages then you let on. No doubt in part due to your documentation being completed professionally and promptly.

Glennys and Jamie

Tracie and I were over the moon of how the whole day turned out. It was exactly what we wanted. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found you and we could not sing our praises loudly enough. Everyone has commented on how they enjoyed the whole day and had a great time. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much - you are a wonderful person.

John and Tracie

Had the pleasure of working with Mel at a recent wedding ceremony. I couldn't recommend Mel enough for her work; her communication skills were perfect; her attention to detail was a pleasure to work with and her professionalism was second to none. Once again thank you for everything you accomplished to make this wedding exceptional.

Greg

I could not recommend Mel highly enough. She was great. We initially struggled to find a good celebrant and as soon as we met Mel we instantly knew she was the one. She was warm and friendly and we knew she was going to be able to create the wedding ceremony we were after. She was also so accommodating with our meetings and they ended up feeling like we were just catching up with an old friend. There was never any doubt that she would do an amazing job - and she definitely delivered. Thanks Mel!

Daniela

Melissa was our wedding celebrant in 2011, and we found her so organised and professional. She was also happy to accommodate our bizarre requests including not telling certain family members about our traditional hungarian wedding clothing so that it would be a surprise! She made our ceremony run so smooth and supplied everything we needed in order to have our wedding in a reserve that we love. We were so happy with Mel that we recommended her to our brother and soon to be sister and now they have booked her as their celebrant in January! Now we know their day will also run smoothly and they will be married by someone who is professional and very genuine. Can't wait to see you in January and thank you again Melissa! From Jackie and Robert (happily married and loving our little 3yr old boy!)

Jackie and Robert

Mel was our celebrant on 14th Nov a couple of weeks ago and she was the perfect celebrant we could have hoped for! Natural, warm and caring and helped us put together a ceremony which was 100% us with our own vows and style. Would recommend to any couple looking for a down to earth friendly celebrant, thanks Mel!!

Craig and Alison

Thank you so very much for EVERYTHING! You made us feel so calm and relaxed about the whole day. Feedback from our guests was so wonderful. They said how perfect the ceremony was and that it was just 'us'. They also said that you were perfect, just the right amount of enthusiasm, not too over the top, great speaking voice, just lovely! Thanks for taking care of the registration and all that goes with it, especially having the official marriage certificate posted to yourself, so we can arrange to pick it up when we get back. . I'm sure we will definitely enjoy our little holiday and I will contact you when we return to arrange to collect it. I'm so glad I contacted you, it has been so great to catch up and having someone I know conduct our ceremony and make it official means a lot to me. Andrew said a few times yesterday that he thought you were excellent
