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!

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 and our guests loved Sally

We really felt that Sally listened and understood what we wanted. Our ceremony was perfect for us. We were outdoors on grass in light drizzle, umbrellas were handed forward from our guests, we pressed on. Sally was very professional and light-hearted. Many guests commented on how charming Sally was to chat to. Highly recommended.

Wonderfully warm celebrant!

Getting to know Sally over the months leading up to our wedding was a pleasure. She’s warm, kind and very insightful!

Sally wrote an amazing ceremony for us, it was wonderfully personal and our family and friends all commented on how it was full of soul. That was exactly what we’d hoped for when we opted for a celebrant rather than a registrar, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out.

On the day, Sally mingled with our guests, put the groom at ease and helped on of our speakers, who is 11, feel a lot more comfortable in standing up at the front. For me as the bride, I was incredibly anxious but Sally’s got a way of making everyone feel really comfortable and so nerves quickly evaporated.

I would recommend Sally again in a heartbeat - we are so grateful to her for her support and guidance and for the beautiful ceremony she created. Perfection!

A wonderful ceremony and a brilliant experience

Due to the legal complications of getting married in the UK as a non-UK resident, my fiancée and I looked into using a celebrant to have a humanist celebration on our big day with all the look and feel of a ‘proper’ wedding. From first speaking with Sally, she had the personality we were looking for in terms of being happy and friendly, and was consultative throughout the process and our many questions.

We spoke a few times before Sally then put together a script based on answers to some questions she had asked us about our relationship. What came out of this was great; a more personal ‘script’ than you’d get going down the council route, with humour and feeling within it but also staying true to a ‘traditional ceremony’.

On the day, Sally was brilliant - calming my nerves in the moments before the grand entrance and reminding me of my lines when I slipped up during the vows. It was a pleasure to have Sally be part of our big day and would recommend her thoroughly to anyone considering a celebrant.

A Beautiful Personalised Ceremony

We stumbled across Sally's website whilst looking for a celebrant for our intimate seaside wedding and since our very first chat with her, she helped make the whole experience so special and stress free! She tailor made a perfect ceremony with all the most important elements to us, including a funny and moving speech and a meaningful sand ceremony. Her words made our guests laugh and cry, and made the day one we'll never forget! On the day her experience helped things run smoothly. She was so easy to work with and made the process a breeze. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a beautiful personalised ceremony.

An incredible, personalised ceremony

Thank you so much for crafting and delivering a highly personal and intimate wedding ceremony for us and our closest family and friends! Several guests were in tears throughout and one of my bridesmaid’s commented afterwards ‘I want to be as cool as Sally when I’m a proper adult’!

The candle lighting and quaich ceremony were exactly what we had hoped for and your ‘Our love story’ speech had so much thought and effort put in to it which shone through. Your professionalism and communication were fantastic during the whole wedding process and you helped us feel so much more relaxed about the day.

We cannot thank you enough for all you did to create the most incredible celebration of our love and life together.

Just couldn't have been more personal and fabulous!

Sally was just fantastic! She was professional and we felt a rapport with her from the word go. The ceremony she wrote for us was so personal, it was like she knew us and everyone commented on the ceremony. If we could do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing!

Just perfect

Sally is just amazing, she has such a likeable personality and listened to everything we asked for. She is super friendly and wouldn't have asked any one else to be our celebrant. We laughed, we cried but most importantly we had so much fun. Thank you Sally.

Our Wedding in Waddesdon

Sally was absolutely wonderful at our wedding this Thursday - our guests were unanimous in going out of their way to say how special and fun Sally was and how amazing, moving and pitch perfect the ceremony was. She was the warm and caring conductor of the orchestra, and we have so much to thank Sally for.
The ceremony was packed with meaning, beautiful surprises and emotion - we are still aglow from all the love and goodwill that flowed over us.
Thank you again so so much, Peter and Buena xxx
