Julia was an absolute dream to work with! She was so accommodating and easy going, but still knew how to get stuff done right. She asked all the right questions, gave us all the support we needed to create the perfect ceremony. She gave us her ideas without being overbearing or controlling. Our congregation absolutely loved the service Julia delivered, with nothing but positive and lovely things to say about her. It also helps that she has a super soft and soothing voice, which i could listen to for hours! I would recommend Julia to anyone who's looking for a highly personalised and relaxed service. I loved every minute of our day and Julia did her very best to look after us and ensure everything went smoothly. -

Wonderful and special service
Julia was so patient and helpful up to our wedding, guiding us but enabling us to have what we wanted. on the day, she was delivered a lovely personal service, one that had a number of us quite emotional! Our wedding was small with 26 guests but they all felt engaged and involved. Could not recommend Julia enough - thank you! Francesca and Julian. -

Georgina Sent on 21/08/2026Amazing - Julia gave us the best ceremony ever!
We wanted a personal and relaxed wedding and boy did Julia give us that.
The entire process was incredibly relaxing and Julia really got to know us, our story and what we wanted and needed from our wedding day.
We had some special requirements with guests that were less able on the day than we planned, Julia supported us on the day to get things right and kept everyone calm and happy!
Thank you Julia for delivering such a beautiful service - our friends and family have all been saying “that was the best ceremony I have seen” they love how personal it was and how well it was delivered.

Julia made our ceremony the most incredible, special part of our day and every single guest on the day and since has expressed how memorable, beautiful and unique it was. We knew as soon as we spoke with Julia that we had made the right choice and this was going to be an incredible moment for us, the craftsmanship and care Julia put into the ceremony made it so personal, while also giving us time to reflect, moments of laughter and a really beautiful memory we will share with our friends and family forever. It was such a beautiful and loving rendition of our story and it was such a special moment reading it out to each other.
Julia also took some lovely photos and videos at the venue that she sent to us the next day, which was so kind and also provided a gorgeous keepsake box of our vows and everything she said on the day. Memories that are timeless. -

Susan Sent on 26/06/2026Joyful Wedding Ceremony
We really couldn’t have wished for a more wonderful wedding ceremony and we’re still basking in the joy of it all. We had complete confidence in Julia right from our first conversation. She took the time to listen carefully to our wishes and put together such a beautifully scripted ceremony which had just the right balance of humour, joy and seriousness. So many of our guests mentioned how impressed they were with Julia - they thought she was truly outstanding. Because of our trust in Julia we were able to totally relax on our wedding day. Thank you, Julia . J -

Megan Sent on 16/06/2026Julia was truly amazing! Thank you.
Choosing Julia to be our celebrant was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely relaxed and took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple.
Our ceremony was absolutely perfect—personal, meaningful, and full of love. She beautifully included the loved ones who couldn’t be there with us on the day, as well as our daughter, which made the ceremony even more special. The story she wrote about us was spot on and captured us perfectly, with just the right amount of humour woven throughout.
So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, and that is all thanks to her. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly personal and unforgettable ceremony.

The most wonderful celebrant...
Our experience of working with Julia as our celebrant for our wedding last month was seamless. Her professionalism and experience was evident from the moment we were put in contact with her. We felt listened to and understood throughout the planning of our ceremony and greatly appreciated the opportunity to meet in person to plan a few months before the big day. We also felt reassured by Julia's support in writing our personal vows. Julia has such a calm presence and this made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. She effortlessly guided us as we planned our ceremony and on the day when emotions were high and the memory of all the finite details went out the window for us and our guests! Our ceremony was incredibly personal, allowing us to relive the story of our relationship and authentically share it with all of those we love the most. Thank you Julia. -
