    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.

    Thank you for your kind words Neil, I really appreciate it - wishing you and Debs so much happiness xx

    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!

    Thank you so much Sarah & Olly, it was a really special day, and such a privilege for me. I really appreciate your kind words.

    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.

    Ceremonies by Sally's reply:

    Thank you so much for your lovely words, I'm so glad you enjoyed your ceremony - it was an absolute pleasure for me. Sending you and Johanne all my very best wishes. xxx

    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.

    Ceremonies by Sally's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write such lovely kind words. It was my absolute pleasure, and we were so lucky to have such a fantastic day for your ceremony. Sending you both my best wishes, Sally xxx

    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.

    Ceremonies by Sally's reply:

    My pleasure and such a privilege, thank you so much, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your special day.
    Wishing you both so much happiness xx
