Thoughtful, warm and absolutely brilliant!

It’s hard to put into words how much it meant to have Sally there, leading such an important moment in our lives. She was absolutely fantastic - calm, warm, funny, and so thoughtful throughout. We felt completely held by her, and so many of our friends and family made a point of saying how brilliant she was.
Sally helped us shape a ceremony that truly felt like “us” - it couldn’t have been more perfect. We especially loved what she wrote about us as a couple: how we met and where we are today. It was meaningful, personal, and full of heart. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her.
She made the whole planning process feel so easy and stress-free, and on the day itself, she put us completely at ease. We really couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Thank you, Sally!

The perfect celebrant!

I engaged Sally on behalf of a client whose wedding I was arranging. Sally is an extremely friendly, engaging and thoroughly professional lady. She is charming in the extreme and immediately puts people at ease with her relaxed style. She manages to combine the sobriety required with an element of fun and even mischief enabling the entire congregation to enjoy the celebration in its entirety. I would not hesitate to recommend Sally to anyone who requires a celebrant for their special occasion.

Sally was the Celebrant at our wedding

Sally was incredibly professional, well spoken, comfortable and accommodating to everything we were looking to have on our wedding day. She also wrote the most magical and great story about our partnership.

Wedding celebrant

We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful celebrant for our wedding ceremony. Sally made us feed comfortable and took the time to get to know us, creating a ceremony that was personal, meaningful and completely reflected our civil ceremony which is what we wanted.

Thank you for giving us the memories that we will cherish forever. 💓

Incredible Celebrant

Sally could not have been a better celebrant. She was professional, genuinely listened to what we wanted for our ceremony, guided us throughout the whole process (making it stress free!) and was flexible in making any minor requested changes, as well as being super personable and friendly. Sally helped make our day special (and not cringe which was huge for us and hard to come by!)

Sally made our that bit special.

Sally
It’s not every day you get married, and therefore getting things right really matters . Like most people you don’t get married often so how do you find a celebrant that makes your whole day special?
We were very lucky when we found Sally and from the moment we initially spoke we were comfortable and confident she would be the person to help us arrange our special day.
We explained we were planning a “surprise” wedding, with our guests being invited to a family lunch. After they had arrived, we announced lunch would be delayed as we wanted them share in our special occasion of us getting married.
Sally loved the idea (thought we were totally mad) from the start and helped us go through how it could work. We discussed options of every aspect of the service, the wording, the music, the detail of key people. Sally went to great lengths to get to know us, nothing was an assumption and every detail of who, what and where mattered. When it came to the special day it was like Sally was like a “old friend” and spoke with love, warmth knowledge and affection about us. Sally guided us through all the key bits and ensured despite our nerves everything was said clearly and made sure all guests were included in our special day. Her explanation of detail helped everyone understand every aspect of the service.
It was a very intimate ceremony, full of love and warmth. From start, to when Sally announced us “ Man and Wife” it was truly beautiful, born with the right level of gravitas, which just brought smiles to everyone’s faces. A memory we will always keep in our heads and hearts, all through the tender care of Sally, our perfect choice of Celebrant

Lovely celebrant

Sally is a wonderful celebrant. I have attended several ceremonies where she has been in attendance. Sally is very personable and it seems like every couple really are her long term friends. Keep up the good work

Sally was great!

We are so pleased Sally conducted our wedding ceremony. She made us feel comfortable from the moment of introduction, to walking us through the preparations, and finally to the ceremony itself. Both professional and personable, she made everyone feel relaxed and able to enjoy our special day. She helped propose ideas and some beautiful words whilst taking our feedback away to craft the ceremony perfect for us!

Exceptional Service - Above and Beyond

We used Sally as the celebrant for our wedding and she was exceptional. From the start, Sally guided us. She explained what to expect, how to avoid frequent problems, and prepared us for what lay ahead.

Having Sally on our team was the most reassuring choice we made. She is kind-hearted, adaptable, enthusiastic and reliable. She suggested things we hadn't thought of that truly made our ceremony remarkable.

So thank you Sally, for making our day unforgettable. I wish you all the best. For everyone else, I could not recommend Sally more highly. She was perfect for us and I'm confident she will be perfect for you.

Neil&Debs Big Day

Sally Smither-Harvey was recommended to us as a marriage celebrant by The Bush Hotel, Farnham(where we had booked our marriage ceremony/celebration). From our first contact with Sally, she was so helpful with suggestions/guidance about how she could piece together an informative ceremony about ourselves which we could make as serious or humorous as we saw fit - we were so pleased as she immediately took a lot of pressure away from ourselves and we were delighted with how things went on our big day as were our family.
Sally was always very easy to contact, replying to any questions or queries very quickly. Great value for money.

A perfect ceremony

We recently used Sally for our celebrant ceremony. She was very easy to book with and always responsive to emails. The ceremony was perfectly tailored to us, a short but sweet ceremony. We had a lot of positive comments from guests, including thay it seemed Sally had known us for years as she captured us so well in her writing. We would highly recommend her to others who need a celebrant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
