Testimonials:
"Anthea made us feel 100% confident and relaxed from our first phone conversation. Everything she did was thorough and professional. She helped guide us through everything even though we created all the ceremony ourselves. We had complete trust in her ability because of her unwavering professionalism and enthusiasm. Weddings are all about emotion and she definitely helped us through our stresses and concerns with a positive, warm, and friendly approach. I have no hesitation to recommend her services to anyone."
Amy and Maurie
"The ceremony itself was everything we hoped it would be. Your words, your voice, tone, presentation, organisation – EVERYTHING!!! The table, the certificate, the flowers (on the table) your beautiful appearance etc etc The complete trust you created that everything would be O.K. – all we had to do was show up, and you would guide us through everything."

We have both expressed how romantic and intimate the whole event was, made all the more special by you. Your attention to detail makes you realise the importance and meaning of the commitment. Don’t change a thing. The hours we spent together have meant a lot to us. Your relaxed approach is very comforting. X and a big hug."
Steve and Janice
"Anthea’s delivery of our wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect. Her high standard and passion for her work shone through on our special day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Tania and Lachlan
"Thank you so very much for being a most fantastic wedding celebrant. We both feel that your presence, particularly on the day was extremely calming, gentle and reassuring. Fed distinctly remembers the nerves and anxiety just slipping away when you arrived at the house to see her before the ceremony as well as when we first met you and were discussing how to write the ceremony. We loved the way the ceremony went as did all the guests (from all reports). It was exactly what we wanted from our wedding day and you helped to deliver it in a professional yet personal way – thank you."
Federica and Julian
"We were also really happy with your services before the wedding, especially by providing such thorough notes on how to write the ceremony and by suggesting that we add small touches to it to make it our own. Writing our own vows was not in our minds until you suggested it and we think that in the end the effort to do so was a really special moment that made the ceremony very touching."
Federica and Julian
"Anthea did a wonderful job catering to all our wishes. We thoroughly recommend Anthea, she did an excellent job for us. She kept the ceremony light hearted and joyous, as we wanted the day to be. Thank you Anthea, for a joyous, fun and warm day, you brought the day together with sensitivity and understanding."

"From the first meeting you put us both at ease, you helped us to work out all the paper work needed, and helped us to remember the real reason we were getting married in the first place! We were both blown away by how much time you put into helping us organise and write our vows…you really gave us so much more than we paid for. As the groom, you made me feel very comfortable in expressing my emotion allowing us to really personalise our ceremony. In all our hectic preparations you helped us step back and take a look at what really matters. This reflected in us expressing our true commitment to each other in the vows."
Leela and Chris
"Anthea, thank you for your commitment and connection that you made with us. Your warm, relaxed supportive nature carried us up to the day. At the ceremony you held us all and opened all of the hearts with words choosen that resonated to us – it was sweet, sacred and heartfelt. A cherished ceremony that will fondly be reflected on through the years and willingly brought to life and lived by, day to day. You held the space beautifully – an Angel looking after us! Thank you for your beautiful and sacred work and your value in marriage and ceremony."

She is a gem – we would both love the chance to get to know her better – add her to the list of life’s special souls."
Jenny and Jono
"Anthea explained every step of the process to us explicitly and was highly professional as well as being warm and personal. Anthea was always helpful and insightful, always making us feel at ease and guiding us towards building the perfect ceremony for us.

Sophie and Jason
"Anthea helped to put all of our guests (and the groom!) at ease despite the potential disaster of torrential rain! She really drew out the central emotions of humor and love that were such important aspects of our ceremony. From the moment we met her we felt she understood just what we wanted. It was such a natural, flowing process, like we’d known each other for a long time. We would have no hesitation in recommending Anthea’s services. Many of our family and friends commented on what a fantastic job she did in helping to bring us all together. She highlighted the love in the room through a combination of good humour, professionalism and natural, understated performativity. Thank you Anthea. With Jenny coming from Germany we were not really sure what was required but your explanation of what was needed made it all happen! One of the first things Jenny said to me when she first spoke with you was how easy you were to talk to. After I spoke with you I felt the same."

"Anthea, we couldn’t fault your level of support or quality of performance. Your manner was perfectly tuned into tone of our wedding. Your level of support perfectly reflected our needs.

"As soon as we met Anthea , we felt at ease. As we were travelling from Sydney and we weren’t able to meet Anthea beforehand, we only met her a week prior to the wedding. However, we had spoken over the phone and she kept in touch over the internet which suited us. Once we met Anthea we felt very relaxed and she certainly was a blessing on the day.

Anna and James
"We think choosing a celebrant is the most important aspect of getting married. Just opening Anthea’s website gave us the right feelings straight away, we knew this was the lady we wanted as our celebrant. From our first communication everything went smoothly – even organising things from another country! Anthea’s warm nature, her obvious passion for what she does and the genuine happiness that she shows for you, all help to make your ceremony the very special and memorable occasion that it is."
Kim and Bernard (NZ)
"Anthea’s delivery of the ceremony was sensational. She spoke at the right pace ensuring every word would be heard by our guests, which was very important to us as every word was meaningful and special. Anthea is a very confident lady and delivered the ceremony perfectly. Her voice projection was wonderful- even when competing against the rolling waves. Anthea’s approach was very personal and she made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Anthea’s added humor gave flair to the ceremony and her personal comments(eg the mother of the bride thinks of everything, lets give a hand to Deb!) made the ceremony fun and enjoyable. You gave us time to collect ourselves before the ceremony began which was a great idea – it gave us a chance to relax. Thanks for the hint on walking slowly up the aisle – I felt like a celebrity."
Lauren and Beau

and ceremony were fun, easy and memorable. You provided great ideas
and lots of reference material for our ceremony. And made the one component
of our wedding I was nervous about easy and enjoyable – both in
the planning and the actual event. We felt like you took the ‘mystery’
and work out of the legal component too. I’ll look you up when
our children get married."
Michael and Rebecka
"Anthea you were warm, and friendly person with a very professional,
modern and down to earth attitude to your profession. We couldn’t

of our friends or family."

over the whole ceremony. Quite unobtrusive . Very warm personality and

to as much or as little involvement as we suggested and this is important
to a lot of people. I loved your genuine enthusiasm for “love”.
You helped us so much, especially since we don’t live in the area."
Kelly and Jim
"We had a quick turn around marriage preparation and ceremony and
Anthea supported us efficiently and with a caring manner, provided us
with a ceremony that our guests have not stopped talking about! They
particularly enjoyed the individualness, the uniqueness, the Romanism
and special touches that provided not only a beautiful ceremony that
kept to time and kept the guests engrossed."
Peter and Lisa
"Many people commented on how wonderful Anthea was and how perfect
the ceremony was, how it seemed like a union of two independent people
who were in love and how full of respect for the occasion we all were
– that’s a tribute to Anthea and her support, guidance and
performance."
