Can we do it all again please Helen?
From the first call with Helen the whole process was easy and we were put at ease about something we both initially felt anxious about. Originally we thought we'd skip the ceremony and just have a party but I'm so glad we delved into the world of humanist celebrant lead ceremony's and found Helen. It was so emotional, personal and joyfull.
With Helen's experience and great writing, she helped us plan the perfect ceremony that was just us, with hand fasting, singing, ring sharing including our daughter. It was so memorable.
I only wish we could do it all again.
Perfect celebrant experience!
Incredible Celebrant!
From the very beginning, she put so much time, care and attention into getting to know us properly as a couple. She spent hours with us on calls, learning about our relationship, our personalities and our story, and it genuinely showed in every part of the ceremony.
The script she created was absolutely beautiful, so personal, thoughtful, emotional and incredibly well written. She managed to tell the story of our relationship in a way that felt completely authentic to us, and there were so many moments during the ceremony where we and our guests were genuinely moved. It felt like she truly understood who we are.
Working with Helen throughout the process was also incredibly easy and collaborative. She gave us so much time, was always open to edits and ideas, and made the entire process feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than stressful.
On the day itself, she was amazing. She had such a calm, warm and confident presence, and she completely held the room. She painted such a vivid picture of our story and created a ceremony that felt deeply personal, emotional and full of joy.
So many of our guests commented afterwards on how incredible the ceremony was and how it was one of the most personal weddings they had ever attended.
Helen was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and we honestly could not recommend her more highly.
The most perfect ceremony…..
We are a complicated, blended family with people who have significant additional needs. Helen listened and absorbed and was completely flexible (right up to two days before!) to adapt and edit her script.
The day itself was a dream; Helen got the tone exactly right - she instinctively knew what to do and we had so many people saying it was the most moving ceremony they’d attended.
We can’t thank her enough.
The BEST celebrant
From the moment we've met her we decided she'll be our celebrant. Helen has made the process so nice and easy and I appreciate her patience with us getting things to her last minute at times (sorry again!).
We wanted a celebrant to make our ceremony personal and a way of including our little son too. Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful, personal and very much about us as a couple and a family. Everyone of our guests have commented on our ceremony and how beautiful and how different it was from the usual.
We couldn't have chosen a better celebrant than Helen and I would recommend her to you all. She's the best and honestly deserves a lot more starts than just 5!
Most special day made perfect by Helen
Throughout the planning process, she was both accommodating and thorough, always considering our wants and needs. On the day itself, she struck the perfect balance of emotion, bringing both heartfelt moments and plenty of laughter. She made our ceremony feel authentic and special.
We would hire her again in a heartbeat for any future events and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who will make their special day truly memorable.
Not a dry eye in the room!
Harteveld wedding 12.11.25
On the wedding day there wasn't a dry eye in the room, she told our story with such grace and made our ceremony come to life.
Her professionalism was next to none, we couldn't thank her enough.
Every single person in the room came up to us afterwards and expressed how much they loved the ceremony, would highly recommend Helen. I'm so glad we chose her for our ceremony.
We cannot recommend Helen enough.
We were introduced to Helen via recommendation, and instantly felt at ease with her from our first zoom call.
Helen spent time with us face to face, to understand our story and who we are together and as individuals. She listened intently and asked us questions genuinely, and got so much detail and nuance down on paper. The first draft of our ceremony had us feeling all the emotions, weeks out from the big day.
Helen was thoughtful in the run up to our day, checking in, reading and providing guidance in forming our vows, and was available for support when we needed her.
On the day, it wasn’t just about the ceremony. Helen liaised with the venue, our dog walkers (yes our pooches had their moment too) and coordinated music cues with the vocalist we had for our ceremony (a late supplier change also, as we were let down by our original musician). All of which meant we didn’t need to stress and could enjoy our day.
From a remembrance candle, to heartfelt vows, shots to toast our wedding, and the all important pooches. Nothing was too much trouble for Helen, who makes a very challenging and important role look so easy and effortless.
We couldn’t imagine our wedding any other way, and will be forever grateful for the memories she helped us create.
