"Having known and worked with Eileen for a number of years and knowing how professional and caring she is I felt completely at ease with knowing that my wedding day was in the hands of a proficient lady.

Eileen helped me with my vows, recommended different types of ceremonies  and suggested some lovely poems, one of which I used in my ceremony, and all of the legal aspects that made my day stress free.

I would highly recommend Eileen for y
our special day”.

We just want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for helping us plan for the wedding ceremony and for solemnising our marriage. It means a lot to us that we were given the chance to choose what we want to say and happen in the ceremony.

We hope you had a great time sharing this day with us, together with our family and friends. It's been an honour and a pleasure to work with you.

Massive thank you to you Eileen for making our day everything we wanted, we were so happy with our short and sweet private ceremony and both our mothers absolutely loved everything.
Couldn't thank you enough for making us feel so comfortable and for letting us be ourselves, we couldn't have wished for a better ceremony/celebrant

Eileen stepped in for us at very short notice, and in difficult circumstances. We both wanted a "no fuss" wedding and Eileen ensured that we got this – she was incredibly easy to communicate with, provided a huge amount of material and examples for us to look through and guided us through what can be a daunting and complex process. Our day was absolutely perfect and we could not have had it like this without Eileen supporting, guiding and legalising! Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Eileen took on a challenging wedding ceremony: bride with rudimentary English, grumpy groom and Antarctic-like weather!
It turned out perfectly due to her refined skills and organisational ability; sincere thanks Eileen!

 Eileen was very friendly and helpful throughout the process of preparing for and having our wedding. She had lots of great resources to help us plan the day and was very flexible in accommodating our preferences. Andrew and I would happily recommend her to others.

Ni and I would like to thank you for a beautiful marriage celebration that you perform for us on a Saturday in January, a day that we will never forget. Thank you so much Eileen

  N and N,  Bruce, January 2019





Eileen provided an absolutely perfect service for us. From first email through to the actual day, she was extremely professional and helped us immensely in taking us from a vague idea of a "simple wedding" through to a wonderful ceremony that met all the legal requirements that we didn't even consider. She has a very calming, respectful manner that was perfect for our wedding.
 (She also has wonderful dogs).

Eileen was wonderful to work with, she helped us have the ceremony we wanted, while including all of the required details as well. Her attention to detail was great and she helped us include everything we had mentioned wanting at the first meeting, including     something we had forgotten about. I would recommend Eileen to anyone for  their wedding.

 Dear Eileen
Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our special day. Our ceremony was made perfect with your guidance, support and willingness to roll with all the changes brought on by Covid.
 
We couldn’t be happier with our special day and will cherish these memories forever.

We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant - Eileen went above and beyond, right from the very beginning.

Eileen is organised, thorough, patient and truly cares about what you want for your special ceremony. At our first meeting she went through the entire process so we knew what to expect. She stayed in regular contact with us, even during lockdown. She gave us the full range of options for ceremony styles with plenty of examples, and was happy to discuss new ideas to create a personalised ceremony.

In the end, we decided to go with a simple ceremony during lockdown. When we had trouble finding a suitable location due to restrictions, Eileen came back with multiple lovely suggestions and then found us the *perfect* location. On the day, we didn't need to stress about COVID restrictions because Eileen took care of that too - she brought  a QR code for check-in,  hand sanitiser and made sure everyone had a mask. She was well-prepared in every way which made things easier for us - we got to just enjoy our day!

The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Thank you Eileen for looking after us and for being our wonderful marriage celebrant. We look forward to having you again at our future non-COVID-restricted wedding celebration!

Thank you very much for your organisation, you were very kind  to us and organised very well. 
We strongly recommend Eileen to anyone who wants to get married. She is super professional and polite and can organise everything super quickly. Communicating with her was easy since the initial contact. We even changed the wedding date and Eileen incorporated the changes smoothly. We strongly recommend her to anyone.

   Thank you, Eileen, for making our wedding day perfect

I cannot express enough how thrilled we were with Eileen as our marriage celebrant. From our initial meeting to the ceremony itself, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the entire process seamless and memorable.
She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which personalized our ceremony. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the planning process. She listened to our wishes and offered valuable suggestions to make our ceremony truly unique.
If you're looking for a marriage celebrant who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, look no further than Eileen. We are incredibly grateful for her role in our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant.!

Eileen is a wonderful celebrant who made our day all the more special. She listened to what we wanted and gave us great suggestions and examples to use. Eileen incorporated our ideas into her ceremony including a ring warming with our children and it made it more moving. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and handled all the paperwork for us and ensured we had everything we needed. We would recommend her for any ceremony. 
 Thank you so much Eileen for being our celebrant and helping to make our day unique and special.
