Here are some kind words from some of my clients:

Samantha and Chris 09/04/2010

I would like to say thank you so much for being our celebrant for our wedding. Some of our guests commented on how at ease you made everybody feel and that was true for me also... I was pretty nervous leading up to the ceremony and for the first few minutes of the ceremony but you made me feel a lot better, quickly! Thank you so much. I am really glad we decided to have you as our celebrant! 

Jillanne and Grant 27/03/2010

Just a quick email to say a BIG thankyou for being our celebrant for our wedding last Saturday. Our ceremony was so lovely and so much fun that I didn't even think about crying!! (This is a big thing for me as I'm such a teary person at weddings!).  Everyone said how great you were, and we really appreciated your organisation and being so relaxed yet professional.

Amy and Tom 20/03/2010

Once again thank you for taking the time to be our wedding celebrant.  Many people commented on how nice you were.  I even got asked if you were one of our good friends!

Toni and Troy 19/03/2010

We would just like to say a big thank you to you for helping create our perfect day.  We loved [the service].  Dealing with so many weddings, I really didn't want ours to be a cookie cutter ... I wanted it to reflect us, which it did with your help and guidance.  You were professional and related to both of us well and helped us create a laid back, fun ceremony.  I have already given your details to two friends getting married! 

Nicole and Steve 27/02/2010

Thank you for everything you have done, you helped me with so much and I appreciate it.  We had an amazing day. I just wish we could do it all again, it goes far too fast.  I definitely felt at ease before and during the ceremony, you made it very relaxed and it suited both of us.  Your service could not have been any better. You helped me all the way through and were prompt with phone calls, emails etc and made both of us feel very relaxed.   Honestly, you are lovely, down to earth and exactly what we were looking for so big thanks :-)  I stopped searching when I met you.

Elisabeth and Jeffrey 26/02/2010

Lizzie and I would like to thank you for performing our ceremony, we thought you did an outstanding job and facilitated a ceremony which was beautiful and deeply moving to us.  Our ceremony was everything we wanted and hoped for. It was an absolute pleasure interacting with you and one of the more pleasing aspects was that you seemed to “get” straight away the type of ceremony we were after. You made us both feel calm, relaxed and comfortable before  and during [the ceremony, which was] fantastic! Unreal! Awesome! Guests commented on how nice the ceremony was and how good the celebrant was.

Megan and Grant 26/02/2010

Thank you for everything and sharing in our special day.  It was great.  We both felt very comfortable with you and weren't worried about a thing.  You were fantastic.

Ally and Aaron 06/02/2010

Thanks for all your help over the past few months.  You have been wonderful.  Thanks again for making our day special.

Tracy and Ken 20/12/2009

Katie, you are truly the most gorgeous celebrant we could ever have wished for. You have been so supportive, so flexible, so sensitive and so sneakily secretive in the preparation! It was only surpassed by your poise, dignity and humour at the event itself. You understood what we wanted absolutely perfectly and our families are still gushing over “the best celebrant you could have possibly found”. Thank you so much. 

Nikita and Scott 18/10/2009

Scott and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for being a part of our special day. Your professionalism is remarkable; you made us both feel so comfortable and calm at a time when things could otherwise get extremely stressful. Our day was absolutely perfect and the ceremony was everything we had ever wanted it to be, heartfelt, honest and real. You're a kind, warm, approachable woman who clearly loves what she does, all of which make you the perfect wedding celebrant. I've had no hesitations recommending you to all of my friends, and look forward to catching up again soon for a baby naming ceremony :o) 
Our heartfelt thanks!
Nik & Scott xo

Bonnie and Scott 28/11/2009

Thank you for putting together such a wonderful ceremony for us. Everyone is raving about how lovely it was – and we are just so glad it was you that conducted our service.  Our wedding day was FABULOUS – even better than I imagined it would be – and our ceremony was perfect. Funny, emotional and most importantly – genuine.  Not only were we well informed by you personally - your little marriage pack spelled everything out very clearly and we felt totally comfortable with the commitments we were planning to, and have now made.  I think you are offering a fabulous, and very complete service. The wedding pack and your availability to talk through any issues made it very easy for us to put together the type of ceremony we had in mind. Also, the inclusion of the PA/music system, table and chairs etc just meant there were a few less things we had to worry about on the day.  [The service] was exactly what we wanted from the word go – and you delivered 100%. We just could not have been happier with the ceremony you delivered. It just had the feel we were going for and I can’t tell you how many of our guests commented on what a fabulous job you did. Thanks Katie – it really was very special.

Angela and Jake 15/11/2009

You did a fabulous job - very contemporary and relaxed.  We had a ball before, during and after the ceremony.  A nice selection of ceremony choices was provided, which made the choice [of words] very easy.  It was a perfect day!

Renee and Luke 07/11/2009

Everyone at the wedding commented on how well the ceremony went and loved the way you commented on our facial expressions and our unspoken communication - it really included everyone. They said it was very well done and that you really created a relaxed atmosphere – we felt very calm during the ceremony and were able to just enjoy the whole thing. The whole ceremony was great and you did an excellent job.

Sarah and James 04/10/2009

Thanks again Katie, we thought your services pre, during and post our wedding day were outstanding. We felt an immediate affinity with you and that made choosing you as our celebrant such an easy decision. Your attitude, your professionalism and your sense of fun matched ours completely and we are so grateful for the job you did. You were a massive part of what was one of the most important days of our lives and you will remain in our hearts - good luck with all future endeavours.

Kiarna and Adam 31/10/2009

We just wanted to say a HUGE 'thank you' to you, you made our wedding one to remember. The ceremony was beautiful (apart from me and Dad getting stuck in the door way) and I wasn't even that scared and it was all thanks to you. Thanks so much and we hope to see you some day again soon.

Renee and Nick 10/10/2009

Thank you Katie for a wonderful ceremony! We had a fabulous day and you made it so special for us. We'll be in touch for a naming day in the future!

Anya and Richard 02/10/2009

The whole ceremony was conducted beautifully and professionally.  You were amazing to deal with from the very beginning - you have such a warm, pleasant manner, are very professional but also very personable, approachable, explained things to us in great detail and were there for us each step of the way. We appreciated you meeting up with us initially on Skype too considering we live far from each other!  Take care Katie and thanks again for everything, you've been just wonderful. We couldn't be happier.

Robyn and Jason 25/09/2009

Thankyou so much for such a wonderful wedding on Saturday. Even though the wind made its best effort to annoy us, nothing could've stopped us from enjoying it as much as we did. My personal highlight was Jason having to ask you to give him a couple of minutes to collect himself ... LOL!! Will never let him forget it.  Our service was lovely, just what we hoped for, and performed beautifully by yourself, so glad we found you.  We would definitely recommend you to others, and everyone at our wedding all commented on how lovely you made it for us, and how much they enjoyed it.  Thanks again for being so accommodating at such short notice, but hey, we pulled it together in the end!!

Bec and Wayne 19/09/2009

Thanks for everything you have done for us, it all went off without any problems, you were fantastic.

Matthew and Bronwyn 19/09/2009

While I feel the choices you had in your book were great for the common wedding, I was quite shocked not to find any Vampire, Zombie or even Pirate wedding vows and I feel that these minorities of society may feel a little left out when attempting to use your wonderful services. In all seriousness, we had no idea what we would say for wedding vows until we went through your book. It had more than enough choices without having us feel overwhelmed with information.  I would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone intending to get married (including Vampires, Zombies and Pirates). You came across as a very relaxed person that put us both at ease with every decision. Thank you Katie for making a great day that much greater. I hope that one day we can catch up and we can buy you a beer (or beverage of your choice).  We had such a great time we want to get married again!  Thanks for everything.

Katie's note:  Bron, Matt and I joked consistently through their preparations that they were going to have a vampire or zombie-themed wedding.  As it turned out, they married on International Speak Like a Pirate Day!

Ashlee and Andrew 30/08/2009

We still have so many friends talking about how wonderful you were on our wedding day. We are incredibly grateful we found you, you helped make our day perfect and we will forever appreciate your effort.

Cass and Aaron 29/08/2009

Thanks for everything we had a great time.  You made everything really easy.  [The ceremony] was very professional yet easy going - couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.

Amy and David 21/08/2009

Thank you so much for our beautiful service! We were both very happy with it and I think we were lucky to find you at the wedding expo when we did.  Obviously the wedding expo discount was fantastic but even if we had paid full rate your prices are definitely competitive.  Can't thank you enough ... very happy ... would gladly recommend you to anyone.

Shelly and Jordan 08/08/2009

Thankyou, thankyou. Everything was perfect. The ceremony was as we hoped it would be - relaxed, fun, romantic and ran smoothly.  We felt completely at ease in regards to the running of the ceremony, which was great not to have to worry about any unexpected surprises.  We were so happy with everything you did for us.  We feel so lucky to have found you.

Catherine and Ian 01/08/2009

Thank you for everything.  We had an absolutely wonderful day.

Leanne and Daniel  18/04/2009

Couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant.  And a big thank you for sharing our day with us. Was very special and just wish it could last longer … was so full of love for us.  The service was really great and relaxing, made us feel at ease.  Very happy with your service and the inclusion of the kids nearly made me cry.

Louise and Barry 11/04/2009

Thanks again for everything! We had the most perfect day!

Melanie and Matthew 04/04/2009

From the moment Matt and I met up with you we felt totally relaxed and comfortable knowing that you would be taking care of our ceremony. Your relaxed yet professional manner was just what we were looking for.  The vows, poems and readings that were provided were perfect! It was just the right amount to choose from. 

The ceremony was just perfect...even though our plans kind of went out the window [because of the weather].  You still managed to keep everything in control and everything went very smoothly. It was everything Matt and I had hoped for - very organised and professional yet still very relaxed and intimate. A+++

Everything you have done for Matt and I was so great. Our wedding day was just so much fun. We have you to thank for that! So thanks again for being a part of our special day. You made us feel so relaxed and comfortable during the ceremony yet kept a professional manner. We are certain that you will continue to be a very successful marriage celebrant. You are definitely perfect for this job!

We can't thank you enough Katie. 

Love, Mel & Matt xo

Gillian and Jamie 28/03/2009

We were so happy with the whole ceremony and thought that you did such a great job with it all!  There were compliments for you from my family and friends afterwards.  They all commented how relaxed and casual you were – just what we wanted! :)

I wanted to say... thankyou thankyou thankyou for helping to give us such a wonderful memory. It was just fate that we found you in our search for a celebrant when there was so little time to organise it all. I told you in an email when I first contacted you that all we have to go by is your pic on your website and our feelings. I knew you'd be perfect for us... and you were! 

Blythe and David 21/03/2009

Dear Katie,

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding ceremony perfect. It was exactly what we had hoped for - simple, relaxed and heartfelt. Thank you also for your guidance and advice in planning the ceremony - you made it all so easy!  You rocked!

Cheers, Blythe and Dave

Jane and Adam 23/01/2009

Katie provided lots of suggestions and ideas, which made choosing our own personal ceremony easier and less confusing.  We felt very comfortable during the ceremony and less nervous having Katie so organised and reassuring.  The service was very friendly, relaxed yet professional.  Many of our guests commented that the ceremony flowed, was very personal and Katie was very helpful and calming when we both forgot some lines of our vows.  I would not have changed a thing!  We would definitely refer and recommend Katie to anyone we know that is getting married or having any other type of ceremony.  Katie met with us on numerous occasions prior to the day and spent plenty of time explaining things, asking questions and was very organised.  When it came to the ceremony she had it entirely under control and it took the stress and worry away from myself and my husband.  We will be booking Katie for our baby’s naming day!
