Testimony:
We couldn’t be happier with our choice of celebrant! From the start, she really understood the kind of ceremony we were after - relaxed and true to us as a couple. She totally delivered on that and helped create a moment that felt both meaningful and light-hearted. Gemma was great to deal with, incredibly friendly, and still so professional throughout. We had so many guests comment on how lovely the ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to her. Highly recommend Gemma! Thank you again for making our ceremony so special!

Testimony:
Clear, confident and helpful.
From our first Zoom consultation to our wedding ceremony, we knew we were in good hands. Gemma was always clear about the official processes/paperwork, but also right down to tiny details such as readings during the ceremony. She sent us a draft script with ample time for us to make very minor modifications.
On the wedding day she was amazing. From greeting and helping guests, to handling our dirty tissues when we had a mid-ceremony runny nose.
She went above and beyond and made the ceremony a truly special event. Thank you so much Gemma!
