"Thank you so much for giving us an absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony. You have a beautiful reading manner, your words clear and perfectly paced throughout the ceremony. Thanks also to Errol for a wonderful job with the PA and music. You both always made us feel so welcome and comfortable during all our meetings beforehand, nothing was ever too much trouble. So many of our guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. It was so lovely and personalised, many of our guests actually assumed you must be family friends of ours! It is clear that you truly enjoy your involvement in weddings, something that I believe sets you apart from many other wedding celebrants."

Our sincerest thanks,
Love Mandy & Brendan

"We just want to say thankyou for helping to make our wedding perfect. From the first time we met you we felt completely at ease and almost like we had known you for years. Your professional, yet fun way of organising everything to do with the wedding ceremony was exactly what we were looking for in a celebrant. Being a second marriage for both of us, we had our own way of wanting things done, keeping it all simple but with style - you did that wonderfully. Having Errol there to magically provide music and microphones etc was also brilliant. We would recommend your services to anyone."

Many thanks from your friends,

"Dear Janine,

We just wanted to say thank you so very much for the wonderful service you conducted at our wedding on the 9th September 2009. It was absolutely perfect.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. The sun was shining and the gardens at Cropley House just made the ceremony even more beautiful.

As you know, Wally and I were both a little nervous beforehand, but you helped to calm our nerves. The wine ceremony was fantastic and exemplified how Wally and I felt about each other - the blending of two lives into one. Lots of our friends thought you were a family member, because we were all so happy and chatty. I guess that boils down to the rapport that you built up with us, leading up to the wedding. We both had such a wonderful day, we want to do it all over again.

Anyway Janine, again, thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job as our marriage celebrant.

"Just wanted to thank you both again for everything on Saturday. We could not have asked for a better ceremony and we are both still on a bit of a high :-) Errol, the music was absolutely perfect. It was something that we placed a lot of importance on and it all played out exactly as we imagined. Janine, you are a beautiful speaker and the way you conducted our ceremony was lovely. We appreciate all the work that you put into our wedding from the day we both met you all those months ago and how you made the whole process so very stress-free with your help with readings and vows.

We have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family who are getting married. Thanks again for everything and we will be sure to send you the picture Natalie took of the three of us as soon as we can."

"I am really sorry that you were not able to stay on and join in our wedding Reception - many of our guests commented on what a lovely ceremony we had and what a lovely Lady the Celebrant was! And the Dinner was just superb! I do hope that you enjoyed the other function you went to but I consider that it was our loss! Everyone enjoyed the music played during the ceremony itself and afterwards till the Reception began - and both you and Errol make a very lovely couple yourselves.

Thank you for all the help you were - to both Fred and myself and the rest of the wedding party too - you certainly know how to make people feel calm and comfortable with what is happening and we have advised Kristine of how pleased we were with you too - as she was the one who recommended you to us."

And you will always be recommended by us to anyone else wanting to wed in the future too - you really were just so lovely. The wee gift you gave us was greatly appreciated too."

"We live in England and were getting married in my hometown, Sydney. We wanted a celebrant to marry us who was kind, caring and would make us feel completely at ease on our big day. By chance I stumpled on Janine's website and after a few emails with her, we decided that she was the perfect person to marry us- this was all without meeting her! Janine gave us all the information we needed, helped us with writing the ceremony and vows and was always on hand to answer any questions we had promptly and concisely. We were able to organise all the paperwork we needed for our wedding in Australia from England, with only a couple of small things required on the ground in Sydney, which Janine was able to do for us the day before the wedding. We were so pleased when we met Janine that she was exactly what we had been looking for in the person who was going to marry us. The ceremony went very smoothly, Janine was pleasant, calm and reassuring and we were just able to enjoy the moment. We couldn't recommend her highly enough."

"We would like to pass on our sincerest thanks to you for making our wedding day so wonderful and memorable. Your professionalism and kind and caring nature allowed us to relax and enjoy our ceremony.

The day was made even more special by all the little things you did for us along the way. You gave us guidance, but you also allowed us to create a ceremony that was unique to us. A special 'thank you' also to Errol for taking care of the music and P.A. system.

Everything was so organised on the day. We had nothing to do but enjoy ourselves. We have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone looking for a celebrant.

Once again thank you so much for everything !"

With love,
Andrew & Rebecca

Our day could not have been any more perfect and both Paddy and I thank you for the time and energy you both put into making our day run smoothly. Thank you also for adding little touches that completed our ceremony so well. The kids loved that they were involved in the ceremony and we will all never forget that perfect day.

Anyway thank you again for being so wonderful to us. I loved coming to your house to plan things, it was great fun."

"Bruce and I would like to say Thank You for the wonderful Naming Ceremony you conducted for our son Lachlan.

The ceremony had everything we requested, the girls reading their poems, special friends with their readings and Dad with his special words for his son and the candle lighting to end the ceremony.

We enjoyed the lovely touch of yours with the bubble blowing, while planting Lachlan's special tree in the yard and again with the girls reading a poem. We all enjoyed the day and everyone found it very relaxing and personal at the same time to celebrate Lachlan's naming.

We would highly recommend your lovely service to our friends and family."

Many thanks,
Leanne

"Craig and I would personally like to thank you for such a wonderful and memorable Naming Day you performed for our daughter Bethany. We have had a lot of positive feedback from all that attended and were also impressed (even without the P.A. !). You were clearly understood and held the ceremony together well. We were just saying to each other how it was a shame we didn't get more of a chance to chat with you, so I hope you enjoyed the day as we did and look forward to perhaps meeting you again in the near future.

Warmest regards,
Craig and Wendy Wayling

"Our wedding day and the lead up to our wedding was fantastic, we could not have chosen anyone any more professional, warm and friendly to marry us. We were treated like family, not just another couple getting married. It was a FANTASTIC day and would never think twice in recommending you to others. We will need you in the very near future for a naming ceremony for our new baby. Once again, Thank-You so much for a day we will NEVER forget...
