Happy Words from Happy Couples

Making sure my clients are happy is so important to me.
A huge big thank you to all my couples  –  I’ve loved marrying you!

The whole thing was truly perfect and was nice and relaxed.  Your resource kit was terrific.

Annette is the perfect celebrant! After meeting with her, she wrote the perfect ceremony for us; it captured us, our relationship and the feeling we wanted – it was amazing!  Annette helps you every step of the way, she has a fantastic resource kit for inspiration and she was always there to answer any question we had. She also helped calm any nerves that popped up or any doubts about whether our vows were ‘good enough’.

We cannot recommend Annette highly enough!! We can’t say it enough – our ceremony truly was perfect because Annette cares and she listens.   Thank you!!

The ceremony really was the highlight of the day.

Venue:  Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron
Photographer:  Miranda Stokkel

It went exactly as your read through did when you had completed the final draft, and as we rehearsed. Because we knew what was coming, I think I was able to enjoy it the most out of all the things that happened on our day!

Elly and Andrew Catchlove

We loved your ability to bring our story to life through your written words – you captured the essence of our personalities, and hit exactly the right tone with your words.  Our Aussie Wedding celebration was perfect!

Thank you for everything you did for our Aussie Wedding!  The ceremony was perfect,  We had a really great time, and partied long and hard into the night – I think most people are still recovering!  You set the scene for a great Aussie Wedding party!

The Ceremony Planning Pack that you created was great.  It was simple to read and understand, and helped us make our choices really easily!

Venue:  Werribee Mansion

Annette was fantastic and professional from the lead-up right through to the day itself. From the moment we met her we felt comfortable and confident that she was the one for our ceremony. She makes something that can seem quite confusing and a lot of work super straight-forward. She provides great guidance in regards to what is needed to make the day run smoothly (including actually physically walking us through the ceremony for a rehearsal at the venue near our house, ages away from her). She is really warm and friendly with just the right amount of professionalism and personality. She has created all her documents so they are simple to read and was constantly responding to any questions I had. I could not fault her service and would happily recommend her to family and friends.

Jess and Ryan Ingram

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Have a clear vision of how you want your ceremony to be so Annette can construct the perfect one for you.

Jo and Johnny Spinks

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Think carefully about what you want. Other than the ‘legals‘, your ceremony can be whatever you both want.

Shaz and Paul Thompson

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Find some quiet time alone to think about your vows or your preferences before you speak with your partner.

Jess and Dimitri Kotov

There are simply too many things to mention that Annette did, big and small, that made our day incredible and FUN!

Venue:  Sails on the Bay
Photographer:  Elisha Ross Photography

We cannot thank Annette enough for everything she did to make our day even more special and incredible than we could have ever imagined! From the first coffee we had with Annette, we both had absolute faith that she was going to create and help us through a lovely ceremony. What we did not expect was for it to be so unique, so right and so “us”. It truly blew us away – there was not a dry eye in the house. There are simply too many things to mention that Annette did, big and small, that made our day incredible and FUN! But we can say that it was through her genuine and constant effort and attention to detail that Annette exceeded our expectations and we are just so thankful we found her :o) If you are looking for a celebrant, look no further!

Stacey and Nick Henderson

The ‘our story’ part of the ceremony was beautiful

Venue:  Italian Village, The Rocks, Sydney
Photographer:  A friend – and he was great too!

We want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!  We had an AMAZING day and the feedback from the ceremony was fabulous!  So many comments about how fun and carefree you were – people loved the story and so many people commented on the pledge at the end and just loved it. You did such an amazing job and we just couldn’t be happier. We have been told that the ceremony was the best ever and we couldn’t agree more.

Jo and Johnny Spinks

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Tell Annette what you want.  She’ll incorporate your ideas into the ceremony so that it’s just what you want it to be.  Our brother and sister present some of our ceremony!

Cara and Rob James

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

When booking a celebrant, really think about if you want to write your own vows. If so, start thinking about you want to say – Annette’s got heaps of vow samples to help you.

Elly and Andrew Catchlove

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

We recommend face to face communication to discuss your ceremonies and to do a walk-through/rehearsal, to ease any nerves and iron out any potential hiccups.

Ashley & Dylan Gillispie

You kept us on track!!   Haha!

Venue:  In front of Grandpa’s beachbox, Mount Martha Beach North

Annette is a kind-hearted, generous and fun-loving Celebrant. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and this, combined with her strong organisational skills, takes all of the stress out of planning your ceremony. We can’t thank you enough, Annette. 🙂

Alana and Jimmy Weigall

You were able to capture the “romance’ we were after.

Venue:  Lavandula, Daylesford
Photographer:  Kas Richards

My wife and I were grateful to meet Annette at the perfect time, and couldn’t have hoped for a more romantic ceremony.  Annette is professional, organised and committed.  We’d highly recommend Annette for any wedding ceremony.

Jess and Dimitri Kotov

During the ceremony we felt support from you and that you were totally focused on us and making our ceremony relaxed and personal.

Venue:  Sand Bar Cafe, Middle Park
Photographer:  Family Friend

Annette, you worked so well with us offering continuous support before, during and after our wedding.  We were married as a blended family and you made certain that each of our children and people near and dear to us were included in our ceremony.  We were delighted with our wedding ceremony and felt special and amazed by how well we were united as a family.  Thank you, Jules and Hans.

Jules and Hans Lissington

Fantastic customer service from beginning to end.  We bonded from the moment we first met.

Venue:  Bram Leigh Receptions

A big thank you to yourself and Steve for helping make our wedding day so beautiful – we can’t thank you enough!  We made sure we took our time when choosing a celebrant, to make sure we had the right fit.  Annette was amazing and really contributed to making our day a beautiful and memorable occasion.  She was even our MC at our reception!”

Yvette and Bob Eckhardt

Annette is amazing, organised, the ultimate professional, whilst still being very personal.   Your ability to think on your feet, and still marry us the next morning at 7.30am was fantastic!

Annette – you are amazing.  We are blessed to have you in our lives.  Thank you for being who you are.  xxx

You are in very capable hands with Annette.  Just embrace it and enjoy the moment!

Jules and Hands Lissington

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Don’t allow yourself to accept stress into any aspect of the process.  You’re in good hands.

Robyn and John Sood

MY COUPLE’S ADVICE

Definitely do a Rehearsal!  It takes away all the nerves and you know exactly what’s going to happen.

Kerry and Ben Shaw

We loved the communication!  Annette was great at communicating.  She kept us informed of everything that needed to happen.

Thank you so much for sending the details on How to Apply for our Marriage Certificate.  Married life is off to a great start!  We can’t thank you enough for what a wonderful job you did with our ceremony.  So many people asked where we found you and commented on how wonderful you were!

Cara and Rob James

I was a guest at a wedding that Annette was a celebrant at and her professionalism and style was fantastic.

Venue:  The Rocks, Sydney
Photographer:  Friend of bride and groom

She didn’t overpower the ceremony as a lot of celebrants can do and was more or less in the background when the couple were actually getting married, but then very confident and assertive when the timing suited.  The result was a very touching lovely ceremony that will be remembered for a long time.   Couldn’t recommend Annette enough.
