Hi, Helen. Well, after meeting several celebrants, D. and I felt most comfortable with you and loved everything you said to us. We would love you to be our celebrant for our marriage………………H
It was lovely to speak with you yesterday. The professionalism shown in your package was verified by the conversation we had and I was left with a very reassured feeling last night of what we can do together for our special day.
A ceremony in progress, with lots of emails going back and forth:
Thank you for your notes. I must say that after my initial read, my thoughts were WOW!! We think you have done a fantastic job - mixing both serious and humorous messages!! We couldn't be happier……………… LD
And a very sweet thought, a lovely start to my day:
It is lovely to see your name in our inbox…………KJ
From another bride using my manual to plan her ceremony (this planning manual is given to all couples who book my services):
I have a few ideas for my vows already!! I'm really enjoying going through the folder - it is so comprehensive and obvious that a lot of thought has gone in to it………………R
And some post-ceremony thanks:
Thank you so much for everything. Just last night A. was saying we must arrange a meeting with you. And then we walked in the house to find our wedding certificates waiting for us. How did you know* to pick the rose one? It's lovely. We of course toasted the occasion………………D
(*She had loved ‘the rose one’ at one of our meetings, and of course I had remembered!)
Thanks again for your help, you have been wonderful. For anyone who is looking for a celebrant, I will certainly give them your details…………J
Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding perfect. It truly was absolutely perfect………L M
Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our marriage on Heron Island. Helen, you are a fantastic celebrant. Thank you for organising everything. It was a truly beautiful ceremony………..K& N
I just want to say a huge ‘thank you’ for what you did for us. I just thought the ceremony was so amazing, and I know everyone else thought so too, because we have had some amazing comments, in fact, loads of amazing comments from all our guests……………L D
I recently donated a marriage package to a silent auction for a charity. When the winners phoned me, I gave them the option of changing their minds, but, after our meeting, they decided to go ahead with me:
The best silent auction item we have ever bid on! You reminded us of the romance a wedding and marriage can have: the poems, the quotes, your endless supply of resources, your advice and attention to detail all came together to help create the memory we will cherish eternally – Our Wedding Ceremony. Thank you for sharing this wonderfully special journey, the making of…. Mr and Mrs C.
Many thanks once again for a wonderful ceremony. Just thought you'd like to know that all involved and all present thought you were wonderful and did an exceptional job…………………JP
Thank you so much for being our celebrant…and my rock at the beginning when I almost lost it!…………………SC
And the last word, some months after the event, from another grateful bride:
……you will be pleased to know I have referred a few people on to you!…………………LH
Sometimes simple words of thanks are accompanied by the generous gift of flowers.
I received this truly magnificent bunch of hot pink Singapore orchids from newlyweds C and J in a lovely gesture of appreciation.
I have recently been asked to conduct a marriage ceremony by a professional photographer who has been photographing weddings for the last six years. She said of all the celebrants at all the ceremonies she has watched, I am her first choice for her own wedding.
