Jane-Marie was a star! She helped so much with pulling everything together on the day and was on hand at any time to answer any questions we had. We hired Jane-Marie to be our celebrant for our outdoor wedding and she was able to capture our personalities in a love story that was so special we wept the first time we heard it! Jane-Marie was also able to provide an abundance of alternative ceremonial options to incorporate into our ceremony, such as ring warming and hand tying. She truly can tailor the event to your needs. It was such a pleasure working with her. Thank you again!

Lisa undoubtedly made our special day even more memorable. Lisa spent time to ensure our ceremony was completely tailored to our wishes and boy did she deliver! The ceremony was warm, fun and loving, every detail was incorporated with style and finesse! Thank you Lisa xxx

I’ve started this review so many times - and for someone who usually has no trouble finding the right words, I’ve found it almost impossible to capture just how grateful we are to Sue. Saying “thank you” feels far too small for the huge role she played in our wedding - both in the run-up and on the day. From the moment we first met Sue, we knew she was the perfect person to be our Celebrant. It was clear from the outset that she cared deeply - not just about the words she’d say, but about crafting a ceremony that was a true reflection of us as a couple. She took the time to understand who we are, what we value, and how we wanted our day to feel - and she brought all of that to life in the most beautiful way. Sue didn’t just take the time to get to know us - she got to know our family too. Our two children warmed to her instantly, and on the day itself, it genuinely felt like she was part of our team. The moment I knew she had arrived on site, I felt an immediate sense of calm. Just knowing she was there, quietly making sure everyone was okay and gently guiding people to where they needed to be, was so reassuring. And when I had a mild panic about being late (I was... but it’s fine, right?!), she was calm, supportive, and completely unfazed - exactly what I needed. Our ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and more - full of fun, laughter, love, and pure and utter joy. Sue introduced us to the tradition of handfasting, which we hadn’t experienced before, and helped us to put our own unique spin on it (tie the knot, take a shot!). It was such a hit with our guests. She also wholeheartedly embraced our 5-year-old son’s dream of being James Bond for the day - helping us orchestrate his surprise ring-bearing mission, complete with the Bond theme tune and gel blasters! Nothing was off-limits; she welcomed every idea with open arms and genuine excitement. Our guests still tell us it was one of the most unique and joyful ceremonies they’ve ever been to - and that’s thanks to Sue. It was completely perfect. But Sue’s kindness and support didn’t end with the ceremony. When my husband and his best man - who lives abroad - admitted their nerves around speech-giving, Sue stepped in with compassion and creativity. She worked with them to help craft their speeches and ultimately read them on their behalf during the wedding breakfast. What could have been a stressful part of the day became something deeply moving and heartfelt. Any worries about it being “non-traditional” vanished - there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Although we always knew that Sue’s role in the day would come to a natural close after the ceremony, it still felt surprisingly emotional to see her go; she had been such a warm, reassuring presence throughout the whole journey. Sue is so much more than just our celebrant - she became part of our story, and we’ll always think of her with huge affection. I love seeing her posts about other weddings, knowing exactly how much joy and meaning she’s bringing to other couples’ lives, just like she did for us. Sue is a true professional with a heart of gold. Her warmth, reassurance, and steady presence before and during our wedding meant more than we can say. We will always be grateful to her for helping make our day not only stress-free, but genuinely magical. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you, Sue.

We had no clue where to begin when planning our ceremony, we just knew that it had to be fun and celebrate our love, when we met Skye, we knew immediately that we were in safe hands. She answered all our crazy questions and was happy to go back and forth with ideas. She took the time to understand our uniqueness’s and journey. She picked up on details that we hadn’t even noticed that we were sharing, so when we received the final script, it was so joyous to read. She brought so much energy to the day itself and made everyone feel a part of the ceremony. If you want a unique ceremony but don’t know where to begin Skye is for you.

George is an alchemist. She travelled up to the Highlands to be our celebrant, and was powerful, erudite and warm. George guided us throughout the whole process and was approachable and understanding when I didn’t know how to do things or what to write. George helped us every step of the way, and then brought her magic to our ceremony as well- sprinkling it with stardust. We couldn’t be more lucky that we had her for our day. George is gifted at what she does- with her words and her big and brilliant heart. George made our day the most perfect of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without her help and support. Thank goodness for George !

I really didn't want just anyone to "marry" me and my husband. I was looking for someone who was personable, relatable, down to earth and would make the ceremony feel easy and natural and Emma delivered in every aspect. She was so easy to talk to, she was calm, patient and thought of details I never did. Emma made the whole process so easy and stress free. She was able to convey our story with love, humor, tact and grace. Everyone complimented how well they thought Emma did afterwards and I was and still am in "awe" of how eloquently she managed to captured our story. I am so grateful to Emma for making this such a beautiful memory and being so approachable throughout. I recommend her to all my friends and would absolutely recommend Emma to anyone!

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Fan! From our first meeting, she was warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple. She was so flexible in working with us and so easy to contact considering we were travelling from overseas. Fan helped us craft a personalised ceremony that truly reflected our love story . On the wedding day, she was calm, composed and so warm, which helped ease any pre-ceremony jitters and was evident with our guests. Her delivery was heartfelt and engaging, and we received numerous compliments from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was and how special it was to hear our story. Fan also provided great guidance on the logistical aspects of our wedding day making the process seamless. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend Fanfare Ceremonies to any couple looking for a thoughtful and professional celebrant. Thank you, Fan, for being so amazing!

A Grand Celebration was had in the summer at the Grand Hotel Torquay and Mary did a fantastic job in making this happen. Right from the planning stages Mary made us feel like part of her family and this helped us to give her the insights in our relationship which Mary delivered on the day. Having OUR Mary leading us through the ceremony made us so comfortable and the event went by so smoothly and in a way that all our guests enjoyed. Mary gave us many options for the ceremony and as such we felt it was customized for us and made it unique and very memorable. Thank you Mary. As we say up north, your a gud un.

Heidi was a fabulous celebrant at our wedding, she was so kind and helpful in the planning process it put us both at ease. She handled last minute changes like a champion and our guests were so impressed with the personal ceremony she put together for us. I could not recommend her more!
