Emma was absolutely amazing!

We cannot recommend Emma highly enough, she was a true angel at our wedding! From the moment we started planning our ceremony, she was absolutely amazing.

She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt incredibly personal, telling our story beautifully and adding so many thoughtful touches that made the day truly special.

In the lead-up to the wedding, she was such a source of support, helping both me and my husband stay calm and reassured throughout the process. Her guidance, kindness and professionalism made such a difference during what can be a stressful time.

On the day itself, she went above and beyond. Not only did she deliver the most wonderful ceremony, but she also helped everything run smoothly behind the scenes, making sure we could relax and enjoy every moment. She was truly outstanding!!

So many of our guests commented on how warm, engaging and genuine she was, and how much they loved the ceremony. She brought our story to life in a way that felt authentic, heartfelt and completely unique to us.

We are so grateful for everything she did to make our day so memorable and special. She played such an important role in our wedding, and we will never forget it. Thank you for everything Emma! ❤️

The most amazing Celebrant you could ever ask for!

We chose Emma as our Celebrant for our Wedding in March. After experiencing Emma’s professionalism and dedication to conducting the most beautiful service for a loved one who sadly passed away. We firstly, wanted Emma to join us for a more harmonious and happy occasion this time round. And secondly, we knew that we would have the most amazingly conducted and thought out ceremony, if we chose her and we couldn’t have been more correct. Emma adds a plethora of expertise and knowledge alongside a very sincere and personal touch. To create a raw, emotionally charged ceremony. She was there for us, every step of the way, for whatever we needed, just a phone call or a video chat away (although most of our video calls ended up with us discussing Disney a lot!! Oops! 🤣), she was open to ideas and expressed many of her own which we 1000% took on board and incorporated into the day! We could not have asked for a better ceremony or Celebrant, it would be virtually impossible to top what Emma put together for us. She was so personal, it really put us both at ease and made our day even more special. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Emma and I wouldn’t be able to recommend her enough, but if we were to relive this day a million times over, she would be there every single time. Words can’t express how wonderful she is. Thank you so much for everything you did for us.

What a joy to have Emma do our ceremony

We chose Emma to be our celebrant for our wedding in July 2025 and couldn’t be more pleased. She brought warmth and enthusiasm to the day and made our ceremony so personal and considered. Her communication in the lead up to the day was impeccable and she couldn’t have been more helpful with suggestions and offering to run errands for us! Emma was the perfect celebrant for our big day!

A beautiful ceremony

Emma was absolutely brilliant and everything we could have hoped for. She was so organised and helpful in the build up to the wedding, really getting to know us and crafting the perfect ceremony for us. On the day she was incredible helpful, delivering a lovely ceremony which we had lots of compliments on, and we felt so relaxed in her hands.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
