    Highly recommended

    Maxine is a highly gifted celebrant. From the start she was warm but also professional and calm. Although we didn’t want a religious wedding, the ceremony itself was still hugely important to us. Maxine helped us to capture the essence of our story and to create a wedding that truly reflected us as people and also our relationship. We would 100% recommend her, she was absolutely the right celebrant for us but I also have no doubt that she would be skilled at adapting her approach and presentation to create whatever wedding feel a couple wants, whether that be very relaxed or more formal.

    An effortless kind of beauty

    Maxine made our wedding ceremony perfect. From a couple of meetings and each of us completing a questionnaire, Maxine created the most beautiful, personal and loving ceremony. It was like she had known us for years! We couldn't be more grateful.

    Maxine created one of our readings based off the content of our discussions. It was the most beautiful poem that captured "us" and was such an elegant touch.

    Maxine's warm nature and experience, reliably guided us from the preparation to the day itself. Full with an abundance of ideas when we were unsure! Our guests said how personal and loving the ceremony was, and that was all down to Maxine, we will be forever thankful.

    Totally personalised

    Maxine did a zoom call initially. She then sent us questionnaires made suggestions and guided us through the whole thing. Everything was top quality and her delivery of words and composure was exceptional. She’s very calming and she looked stunning at the ceremony. I would highly recommend Maxine to create you a bespoke and seamless ceremony.

    Perfect ceremony !

    We chose Maxine as our celebrant for our wedding last year at The Pythouse and we were so pleased we did ! We found Maxine engaging and super friendly from our very first chat. Our ceremony felt so personal as Maxine not only really listened to what we would and wouldn’t like but really managed to capture our personalities with her wonderful words , we couldn’t have asked for better. Maxine has a really calming and confident manner , that really put us at ease as well, we wouldn’t change a thing !

    A lovely ceremony

    Maxine was our Celebrant in September last year and we absolutely loved the ceremony she created for us. We had wonderful feedback from our family and friends on the day who all commented how personal and unique the ceremony was to us as a couple, and how lovely Maxine was too! We really appreciated having Maxine's help to understand all the different elements that can go into a ceremony and she wrote some beautiful words that we will treasure x

    The perfect celebrant !

    From the very start Maxine was just perfect the connection we felt with her immediately we knew she was our celebrant, she helped us not just write our vows and service but the timing of the whole wedding. She was a planner as well as our celebrant. No question was to small always available when we needed her and ensured our day was just perfect. We cannot speak highly enough of her !!

    The best celebrant

    Maxine was fantastic the whole way through. She was attentive, went above and beyond to research our venue, reach out to our vendors to ensure everything sung in harmony and tailored the service to suit exactly what we wanted. She is friendly, warm and great and what she does. We had tons of compliments on her from our wedding guests and she delivered the ceremony beautifully. Couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Thank you so much Maxine - love Jemma & Andy xx

    Maxine is the perfect celebrant!

    Maxine was recommended to us, and we’re so glad she was. From the start, she was incredibly warm, kind, and understanding. We had a few personal delays in planning, and she was so patient and supportive throughout.

    She created a beautifully written ceremony that felt truly personal to us. Maxine guided us through different options and helped us include meaningful elements like a ring warming and handfasting, both of which many of our guests hadn’t seen before and absolutely loved.

    On the day, she arrived early, made sure everything was perfectly in place, and brought such a calm and confident presence.

    We’re so grateful to have had Maxine as our celebrant. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

    Do Not Look Anywhere Else

    We chose Maxine for our wedding, and she put together a wonderful ceremony for us. We are thrilled with how personal, heartfelt and humorous it turned out. We were able to keep various elements of the ceremony secret from each other, which made it all the more special on the day.

    Maxine was very dependable and would keep us on schedule with our various tasks, and was on hand to make any tweaks we needed. It was clear from our first meeting that she is very well organised and enjoys learning all about the couple and their story to make something truly unique. She is professional, full of amazing suggestions and knows what she is doing.

    Thank you. It was a joy to be your celebrant and so much fun creating your ceremony together. I wish you every happiness for your future.
