Samantha is a truly wonderful celebrant

From the moment we met Samantha, we knew we were in the best hands. She brought such warmth, care, and genuine attention to every detail of our ceremony that it felt truly personal and heartfelt. Samantha took the time to get to know us — our love story, our personalities, our hopes. She took the time to read our love letters to each other over the years, offer feedback on our vows, and write an original heartfelt poem that was shared during the ceremony. Samantha wove together a ceremony so beautiful that our guests are still talking about how meaningful and touching it was.

Her calm presence and gentle guidance put us completely at ease, and their professionalism, combined with such kindness made the whole process joyful and stress-free. Samantha is more than a Celebrant to us; she is now a dear friend who supported us through one of the most special days of our lives.

We can’t recommend Samantha highly enough — if you’re looking for someone thoughtful, attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further. She made our wedding ceremony everything we’d dreamed of — and more.

Great experience with SMS celebrant.

Samantha was an incredible vendor to work with. She was kind, patient, and took the time to really get to know us as a couple, ensuring she could capture our unique story. She even wrote us a beautiful, heartfelt poem, which my cousin read during the ceremony—it was such a lovely and personal touch that made the day feel even more special. We’re so grateful for everything Samantha did to make our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Samantha is amazing

We were 100% set on a celebrant wedding, we spoke with 4 celebrants who were all great but we chose Samantha, she writes poems and it stuck with me and my husband as we love poetry/spoken word. Samantha was very helpful from when we first met to when she left on the wedding day, she felt like our family, she offered us advice when we needed it and came to rehearsals we had also! The poem she created for us was a hit with everyone, I had goosebumps and smiles while she read it! Everyone said they loved how she delivered the ceremony it was amazing! Samantha thank you so much I wish you nothing but more success

Sam was fantastic

Sam was a pleasure to have as part of our big day. She took a lot of care in writing our script and vows, doing research and giving us options which was so helpful as we have busy schedules. She is lovely and made us feel at ease on the day. Highly recommend her for your wedding!
