Everything
about Sarah and her service is impressive and professional. Sarah captured the
relationship between Stu and I in a second and her interpretation was perfect!
I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone – the presentation of the ceremony,
the vows she wrote, the signing of the certificate and our handmade cards…it
was all beautiful. Every guest commented on how beautiful the ceremony was…it
was entertaining, light-hearted but also very real and moving.Vanessa

Dear Sarah.
Thank you so much for your support and assistance in the lead up to our wedding
and for such a wonderful, meaningful and memorable ceremony on the day. We want
to thank you for the wonderful experience of preparing the ceremony with you
and then the perfect delivery on the day. The rehearsal was great and
helped with everyone’s comfort level and nerves. We felt very confident and
trusted you to deliver an excellent ceremony which was meaningful and
memorable. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends
and family – many of who commented on the fantastic ceremony. Thank you.Celia
and Caspian.
I was surprised to have so many options and thought the questionnaires were a
great idea to personalise our ceremony. It was so fantastic to have so much
input. The experience with Sarah was so professional and yet so personal. Everyone
said what a lovely, personal and insightful ceremony it was. It made our day
all the more special. Thank you Sarah.Lauren
and Tony
Sarah was an absolute delight to work
with. She presented so many options and really listened to our ideas. We felt
like we’d had known Sarah all our life. She was extremely professional and her
motivation and smile was infectious. We were so lucky to find you, Sarah.
Thanks for making our wedding day so special and the preparation such a
delight. The guests loved our ceremony.. many of them thought you were a
personal friend or relative, you captured our story and our style so well. Carlie
and Peter
The creative process with Sarah was a fun, relaxing
but a personal experience. She helped us put our feelings into words and create
a ceremony that was everything we wanted and more. It was personal and adapted
to who we are as individuals and husband and wife. Despite our nerves, Sarah
made us feel more at ease. She gave the ceremony a very soft and relaxed feel.
All our guests enjoyed the ceremony commenting on how personal it was. Sarah
Thank you once again for the perfect ceremony. Catherine and Blake
We both really want to thank you for the beautiful
service you created. It was so amazing and we have had endless comments on how
fantastic you were. Thank you so much.
The ceremony was more than we expected and again we
had so many comments from our family and friends on how good Sarah was, how
wonderful the service was and how reflective it was of us as a couple and as
individuals. We were delighted with the entire process of developing the
ceremony. We were extremely happy with the words of the ceremony and how it was
put together and we really appreciated Sarah’s help in finding poems that were
relevant and meaningful to us and Sarah’s ability to draw out the right
information and little nuances from us. We also felt that we were given many
options on how to tailor the service to what we wanted and were very happy with
the outcome.
The service and organization before hand was
fantastic. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I have been a bridesmaid many
times and I have never had such a great experience. Sarah also made our family
members, who were making readings, feel relaxed and comfortable which we really
appreciated. It was very important to us that everyone could hear the ceremony
and they all could thanks to the microphones provided by Sarah. The way that
the ceremony was set up made us feel encapsulated by all our friends and family
and it was very special and intimate, just the way we wanted it to be. Simon and Sophie
Sarah
- I just wanted to let you know that I thought Sophie & Simon’s wedding
ceremony was really, really beautiful. Your personality coupled with the words
made for a very special service. It was everything a wedding is supposed to be
– joyful, empowering, life affirming and very personal. I got a lot from the
words you said, and they have since served as a reminder to me – the importance
of nurturing our relationships everyday. Thanks for that! Christine – guest and ‘best woman’ at Sophie and Simon’s wedding
Sarah is an amazing lady - her mind is creative, vibrant and
individual. The suggestions put forward by Sarah matched how we felt about
creating our perfect ceremony. She was organised from the word go, making
several relaxed informal meetings to ascertain exactly what we wanted. The
words of our ceremony make me laugh and made me cry - they told our story how
we wanted it to be told. Sarah has a unique style and I respect her values. The
ceremony went above and beyond expectation. All the guests were moved by the
words. Particularly when we said our vows to our children. I had so much
feedback from my guests stating this was the best wedding they had been to. I
wanted the ceremony to be the focus of my day and it certainly was. I was so
proud arriving with my daughter and son, walking into the ceremony circle with
all our friends and family smiling. It was a truly magical day and it will stay
with us forever. Sarah you are amazing, thank you, thank you. Fiona and Bruce
We
found working with Sarah, her creativity and the choices she offered us were
excellent. She was very professional - she called when she said she would,
emailed us back straight away and was very prompt and reliable. Sarah was
really interested in finding out and getting to know us as a couple so she
could tailor the ceremony to us and we were really happy with the result. We
got lots of comments from friends and family about how great the ceremony was
and how unique it was to us. It exceeded our expectations. The PA system was
great and coped well in an outdoor space. Sarah's genuineness, warmth, energy
and enthusiasm throughout the entire process helped to make our ceremony the
success it was. By the end of the process we felt we were being married by a
friend. Thank
you Sarah.Jen and Greg
Sarah is a legend. I knew the first time I spoke to
her she was the one I wanted to perform our ceremony. Sarah is the most fun
loving, gentle soul and she made me proud. The words Sarah wrote were so
breathtaking I cried everytime I read them. Our ceremony was more than our
expectations, we were more than happy. Sarah made us feel like nothing else
mattered. Thank you Sarah Shirley and Greg Sarah was fantastic. Always happy and vibrant and so helpful. She
made it easy to put together all our thoughts and ideas and had awesome
suggestions which made our day beautiful. We especially loved the surveys. We
loved the ceremony! It was the most honest and heartfelt story of our lives
together. We couldn't have dreamed of better. Lots of our guests commented on
how moving the ceremony was and that it was the most genuine expression of love
they have ever seen and that they have never been to a more beautiful wedding.
Many of our tough hip hop friends were in tears. Not to mention Shaun.

and Kaiden
To Dear
Sarah, Thank you so much for creating a most memorable naming day for our
twins. The ceremony was beautifully worded to reflect our families values,
beliefs and uniqueness. Our guests commented on how you personally took the
time to talk them, and many asked if you were a friend of ours, we felt this
was a lovely reflection of how comfortable and relaxed you made us all feel and
this truly made the day feel special. We could not have asked for a ceremony
more perfect than what we had and this was largely due to your professionalism
and warming personality. Our twins naming day will always hold a special place
in our hearts, thank you again. Renee, David, Tommy and Phoebe Chaseling
When
we first sat down to choose a celebrant we thought it was just a matter of
picking someone. However, Sarah made it so much more than that. She truely
became involved in the entire process. We warmed to her straight away and she
helped us setup the perfect wedding celebration. She was even willing enough to
welcome the guests in Spanish! The wedding ceremony was all that we could have
hoped for, in fact it turned out way better than we expected. Sarah set the
scene perfectly, with a mix of English and Spanish, and really gave the
ceremony that feeling of something special and fun. Thank you Sarah for helping
make our day such a great one. We are more than happy to recommend you to
anyone that is about to wed, and I expect that you'll be receiving some calls
from some of our guests. Thanks once again. Soraya and
Paul
Couldn't
have done it without you Sarah, Thanks. Adam
and Melanie Spencer (& Ellie!)
"Sarah
was excited and helpful offering unique and creative ideas and was supportive
of our ideas, even when they were a little different. Sarah made me feel
comfortable discussing things I like and things I was not so fond of. She
was always prompt and professional and on the day I was able to relax and enjoy
the experience knowing that Sarah had everything she was responsible for under
control and completely organised. We were very happy with the way the ceremony
was crafted, everyone commented on how personal it was. I can only hope that
you stay as excited and involved in every ceremony you do I was always happy
with choosing you as our celebrant because you were the first celebrant I spoke
to who actually sounded like they wanted to be involved and remembers what an
important and special time this is in a couple’s life. Thank you Sarah, you
were wonderful." Jodie and Luke.
It
was a great thrill and privilege to marry country music star Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson in a lovely
home wedding.
"Dear Sarah, thank you for
making our wedding the occasion that we had hoped for and far more. There seems
to be precious few things in life that exceed one’s expectations, but we are
pleased to say that, for us, our wedding turned out to be one of those rare
occasions. This is in no small part attributable to the beautiful ceremony you
crafted for our day, and the palpable warmth with which you delivered it. Many
people assumed you had known us both for a long time and a number of our family
and friends commented on how “real’ the ceremony felt – that they were “in” it
rather than watching it. That’s exactly what we wanted, and that’s what we got!
Great job Sarah.! It is very clear to us that this is your gift and we are so
happy that you have elected to commit yourself to this as you life’s work. We
feel very fortunate to have found you. So thank you once more – you made a
beautiful day for us that will be a highlight for us for the rest of our
lives." Leanne
and Lachlan.
From the second I heard Sarah's voice I knew that I wanted her to be
our celebrant. When we met her it was confirmed. Sarah was able to guide us
with our ideas and help us with an understanding of what we wanted. Sarah was
like a friend we had always known and not just a celebrant. I can recommend
Sarah to anyone. She will listen to you and adapt herself to whatever ideas you
have for your dream day. Donita and Gavan
"Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for the wonderful ceremony you created
for Jaxon's namegiving day. We both really enjoyed the day and absolutely
everyone commented on what a great job you did. You managed to convey all our
thoughts so well and several people were moved by the readings. The hand
painting was also a success with the masterpiece hanging in our front
room. It's a fabulous keepsake of the day. Thank you once again. Best
wishes, Karen, Rod, Imogen and Jaxon.".
Our
whole wedding experience was truly wonderful. The feedback we've had about what
a meaningful and wonderful ceremony and how beautifully you delivered it has
been great. We want to share that with you and say you were integral to the
whole experience and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much. Jen and David
Dear Sarah, Thank you for being so delightful to work
with in preparation for our most special day. You brought a joy and your
unquenchable bubbliness to the experience, in spite of working within a tight
timeframe. Thank you for your efforts, hard work and for being a real pleasure
to work with. Our ceremony was joyful and very meaningful and a delight for
both us and our guests. Thank you. Yvette and Bruce
Sarah was recommended by
another celebrant to us and we are so thankful for that. We wanted our
ceremony to be very personal and relative to our lives, family and
friends. Sarah's caring, understanding and down to earth nature coupled
with her professionalism enabled us to create the perfect combined ceremony for
our wedding and naming day for our son. Many of our guests complimented
how well Sarah presented the ceremony and admired the personalised meaning
conveyed. Sarah was always there to answer any question and assist in the
preparation of the celebration. I have had no hesitation in recommending
Sarah's services to several people looking for the special person to celebrate
their day for them. We couldn't have asked for a better person to do such
a wonderful job.....Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. Merryn, Luke & Archie. XOXO
Dear Sarah, Justin and I would like to thank you
for your passionate, heartfelt ceremony that really complemented our beautiful
day. So many guests were moved by the words and the celebration and commented
on the beauty and uniqueness of the ceremony. Many had never seen anything like
it. We think you do a fantastic job and that you are personally so well suited
to it. We really appreciated your warm, calm and professional nature. You were
always so well presented and it helped us that you could come to our home. We
will be recommending you highly! Thank you for making it such a special, unique
and loving day. We will always treasure this. Sandi and Justin.
We both want to
say a huge thank you for making our wedding ceremony more perfect that we could
even have imagined.Working with you was
a wonderful experience and you made preparing for the ceremony more about
establishing a relationship than merely a one-off transaction. We were extremely
happy with the wording of our ceremony and felt that it perfectly reflected who
we are, our relationship and our desires for the ceremony and future together.
The questionnaires were an absolutely wonderful experience, as it not only
helped us to articulate how we felt about each other but it enabled us to begin
our marriage fully aware of these feelings and the strengths we share as a
couple. Our ceremony was just what we wanted – intimate, personal, engaging and
beautiful. Our guests praised the ceremony as being moving, genuine and
personal. They also praised your body language, presentation, (they were very
impressed with the sound system) and believed the relationship we had with you
was like that of old friends.Many,
(ourselves included) felt that it was by far the best wedding ceremony they had
attended. Thanks so much. Lauren and Bjorn
Where do I
start? I was always anxious when I started planning my wedding whenever I
thought of having a celebrant. I guess I just hadn’t come across finding you at
that stage & I'm so grateful that I did find you. From our first
meeting to our wedding day you made Paul & I feel so at ease with the whole
process. You gave us encouragement to be creative & to have our day truly
unique to who we are & what it means for us to be together. You made the
pressure melt away & in its place was fun, love & excitement. Your
support & knowledge were amazing. Our wedding day was beautiful, having you
as our celebrant made the ceremony so much more special then Paul &
I could have ever imagined. We felt so much joy & happiness it
was like floating in a dream. Thankyou for being our beautiful celebrant, you
have such a wonderful gift. I hope you to see you again. Love & light to
you & your family. Mandy and Paul
Dear Sarah, we would
like to take the opportunity to thank you for the fantastic job you did with
our wedding ceremony, both in the lead up and during. We appreciated the fact
that you took the time toget to know us
and built our little stories into the day. You were always so friendly and
positive and assisted us in whatever we needed help with…even different
suppliers, locations and alternate plans A,B&C for the day. All our guest
on the day thought you were fantastic, and were impressed that a civil service
could be so touching and personal. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for
helping us get over the overwhelming emotions of the day. It was all great. Sarah and Michael
Dear Sarah,
Thank you very much for all the hard work you have put into our ceremony. We really
appreciate all the time you have put into meeting with us, working things out,
helping us to develop our ideas, and it was great to have the rehearsal, it
really put our mind at ease. When we decided to get ‘married’ we knew that
getting the right celebrant would be crucial for making our day work and we are
so lucky and grateful we got you. Kat and Evie
Sarah was fabulous to work with. Very generous with
her time, something we were very appreciative of. Her service and delivery was
highly professional and very reliable. She is very approachable and very
knowledgeable. We were very happy with the resulting ceremony. A number of our
guests commented on how the ceremony was so much more meaningful and well
crafted that the usual celebrant delivered ceremony. She delivered our ceremony
with a high level of professionalism but also managed to convey the feeling and
style of ceremony we desired. She also took on board some last minute additions
to the ceremony organised by friends as a surprise without skipping a beat.
Thanks Sarah Caroline and Arnie
From start to finish, Sarah’s professionalism shone
through. She went beyond expectations. We met with her a number of times,
including the whole family. The connections she made were invaluable to making our
ceremony even more special. Planning the ceremony was fantastic, Sarah was
open, warm and receptive to our ideas. She has great ideas to throw about in
discussions but at no time makes you feel that is should be done her way. The
ceremony was perfect. We felt safe to leave the ‘crafting’ in Sarah’s hands and
it was very unique and personal. Thank you Sarah for your warmth, generosity of
time, thoughtfulness, humour and uniqueness. It fitted us perfectly and what we
wanted to achieve and made it so much more special. Paula and Gavin
Sarah’s
dedication, creativity and input far exceeded any expectations we had of the
process. We felt that Sarah really observed who we are, and tailored all of the
options to ensure that the ceremony suited what we wanted and the inclusion of
aspects from other cultures. Sarah is organised, professional, reliable and has
excellent customer service skills. I would highly recommend Sarah, she is
definitely a notch above any other celebrant I have ever observed. Our ceremony
was absolutely beautiful and totally expressed who we are as individuals, our
relationship and our lives together. We truly felt that our ceremony was unique
and very real. Well done Sarah, thank you so much for listening to us. Colette and Nick
It was amazing
to hear the words that Sarah had crafted actually spoken on the day. The words
were perfect – it really matched our style and values and created a wonderful
intimate and romantic feeling.Thank you. Julie and Joel
We loved the
creative process with Sarah. She was knowledgeable, insightful, patient, tender
and encouraging. Sarah is professional without being stale or contrived. She
brings personality and warmth to the ceremony. The ceremony brought our story
to life – it was funny, genuine and heartfelt. Full of spirit and love. Thanks
so much Sarah, you’re a star.Monica and Derek
I loved that we
met Sarah a few times in different environments and that she came to us.Sarah is a lovely, gentle soul with a
beautiful energy. We loved that she listened and presented ideas that linked
with our feelings and values. We felt you included both of us and our needs and
the ceremony really became ‘our’ ceremony. The ceremony Sarah crafted was a
beautiful expression of our love and inclusive of all our family, friends and
faiths. Everyone felt the ceremony was very special and it set the tone for the
whole day. Gemma and Chris
From our first
contact I knew I had one less thing to worry about. We loved the process with
Sarah. It made us think about the reasons we were getting married. The ceremony
was unique and personal and everything we wanted.. and it ran like a dream, no
stress. Thanks so much Sarah.Leigh and John
Sarah took all
the worry out of trying to find vows and words that we wanted spoken. She found
out about us, listened to us, and with creativity and intuition, she created
the perfect ceremony. I honestly believe that we could not have worded it that
beautifully for ourselves. It was a blessing to know our ceremony was in good
hands. Thank you Sarah, with all our hearts for making our special day
perfect.Kay and David
The ceremony
Sarah created was funny, touching and warm. Sarah was very flexible in the way
she put the whole thing together. She was great and bubbly. See you in 10years
for our vow renewal. Thanks. Jo and
Anthony
Sarah I felt
you suited us perfectly. You really ‘got’ us from day one. We felt confident
immediately. The process was challenging and insightful. Working with the
questionnaires forced us to really think through our feelings for each other
and our thoughts towards marriage. We loved the ceremony. It really was a
ritual and celebration of love. The creativity, energy and guidance that you
brought were invaluable. We had a vision but you knew how to bring it to life.
It was a wonderful experience.Thank you
for sharing our day with us.Leanne and Matt
The ceremony
was the most important thing to us and Sarah helped us create a ceremony that
was both meaningful and unique.Danielle and Rob
Sarah, the
ceremony process with you was excellent. We loved the personal meetings and the
questionnaires.The service had a lovely
personalised and customised feel....so much better than a generic ceremony. Our
guests commented on how good you were; your professionalism, lovely voice, excellent
service, humour and appearance.You were
completely organised and professional and even when last minute weather hiccups
threatened the ceremony, you were calm. It was extremely comforting knowing we
could trust and rely on you. One less thing to worry about. Sarah thank you for
everything you did and helping us make the ceremony everything we had hoped
for.Renae and Mark.
Sarah was not
only professional, organised and exceptionally accommodating; she is a warm and
lovely person and a lot of fun to be around. We were overwhelmed at how
carefully the ceremony was constructed to epitomise everything about our
relationship. Sarah Thank you so much for not only giving us a ceremony we will
remember fondly forever, but for engaging us in a process that reminded us of
the foundations of our love after so many years together. You’re a star.Vanessa
and Stuart.
