We genuinely cannot recommend Proud Fox Ceremonies and the incredible Martin Robert Fox — aka Maria Hurtz — highly enough. Martin officiated our wedding on 26 August 2026, and without question he was the standout supplier of our entire day. He didn’t simply conduct our ceremony; he helped make the whole wedding what it was. Fantastic! A celebration! From leading the ceremony with the perfect balance of flair, fun, warmth and dignity, to MCing our speeches and bringing the evening to life with an unforgettable drag performance, Martin was exceptional from beginning to end. Every single guest was made to feel included in the joy and love of the occasion. What makes Martin particularly special is his ability to read a room. Our guests ranged from teenagers through to those in their late 90s, and he connected effortlessly with everyone. He knew exactly when to make people laugh, when to bring the energy and when to allow the emotion and significance of the moment to take centre stage. Long before the wedding day, Martin invested hours getting to know us as a couple and individually, learning our story. From meeting us in person to multiple online meetings, he took the time to understand our relationship, our personalities and exactly how we wanted our wedding to feel. Every element was carefully tailored around us rather than feeling like a standard ceremony or performance. And then there is Maria Hurtz. What a performer! The evening drag performance was an absolute highlight and had our guests laughing, cheering and completely engaged. Maria brought the room alive — and, it has to be said, the makeup was absolutely ON POINT. Martin is extraordinarily talented, professional, warm and genuinely passionate about creating something special for the couples he works with. He didn’t just officiate our wedding; he became part of the experience and helped create memories that Ben and I, and our guests, will talk about for years. If you are considering booking Proud Fox Ceremonies, do it. Whether you want something emotional, glamorous, hilarious, traditional, unconventional or a mixture of everything, Martin has an incredible ability to bring it together. Martin and Maria — thank you for the hours of preparation, the laughter, the love, the fabulousness and for helping make our wedding so unforgettable. You were truly exceptional. With all our love and gratitude, Dan & Ben Cope ❤️

There’s only one word we'd use to describe Emma and everything about her: AMAZING. From the moment we met Emma on an introductory video call, we knew she was the perfect celebrant for us. She’s incredibly warm, kind and genuinely invested in the couples she works with. She took the time to understand our vision and offered thoughtful ideas when we weren’t quite sure what we wanted ourselves. From that very first conversation, we felt completely confident that we were in safe hands, and that feeling only grew throughout the entire process. Her communication and responsiveness were exceptional, and she was organised, prepared and professional from start to finish. One thing that was particularly important to us was finding someone who could create a ceremony that was heartfelt and meaningful without feeling cheesy or overly jokey (which we know is exactly what some couples want, just not us!). Emma understood that immediately and absolutely nailed the tone. The ceremony felt so personal and completely “us”. Although we'd finalised our script several weeks before the wedding, we unexpectedly needed to make a last-minute change just two days beforehand. Emma very kindly accommodated it without hesitation. We know this wasn't ideal, and we're incredibly grateful for her flexibility and generosity. It only reinforced how committed she is to making her couples feel comfortable and happy. What stands out even more than the beautiful ceremony she wrote is Emma herself. On the wedding day, she had this wonderfully calming presence. Every time we saw her it felt like, "Ah... breathe." She instantly put us at ease. My young nephew was our ring bearer, and she was fantastic with him, gently guiding him through exactly what to do and where to stand. At one point I completely blanked and forgot where I was supposed to stand and when to hand over my bouquet, but Emma calmly and discreetly guided me so everything felt completely seamless. Our family and friends all commented afterwards on how lovely Emma was and how personal and meaningful the ceremony felt. They all felt like they knew us better afterwards, which is exactly what we had hoped for. I genuinely can't think of a single constructive thing to say about Emma's service – and that's saying something, because I have very high standards! We feel incredibly lucky that she was available for our wedding. She made us feel so special, and by the end of the process she felt like someone we'd known for years. We'd already spoken to several celebrants before meeting Emma, so we had a really good sense of what we were looking for. The difference with Emma was immediate. If you're looking for a celebrant, do yourself a favour and have a chat with Emma. We can't recommend her highly enough. — K & M, married at Asylum Chapel, July 2026

I'm not quite sure where to start with Vicky. She's an absolute star and completely made our wedding day! We wanted someone to lead our ceremony who would get the party vibes from the word 'go' and my god did Vicky deliver! She's hilarious, heartfelt, and quick witted all in equal measure and we couldn't have been happier with how she led our ceremony. Vicky then stayed on for the rest of the day as our MC and was a complete legend the whole way through. We've had endless compliments from guests about how fantastic she was! It's incredible the impact that a good celebrant and MC can make for your day. I'd recommend Vicky to absolutely anyone!

We have had the pleasure of Jennifers services several times over the last 2 years and cannot recommend her enough. From our commitment service organised in 3 weeks for my late farther in law, to his funeral service and our hand fasting at our wedding to which Jennifer was our guest along with her husband. Two words, Hire her, you will be in the best hands, without a doubt.

We absolutely adored working with Jo - she was our rock through the whole day! We wanted to have a few personalised touches, like a hand-fasting ceremony, and she absolutely nailed it, along with really gorgeous readings and poems. She's lovely to work with, I can't recommend her enough!

We cannot recommend Hannah highly enough, and are so grateful that we happened to find her booth at a different venue's fayre at the start of our wedding planning. From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple. The ceremony she created for our wedding was everything we had hoped for: personal, heartfelt, authentic and completely true to who we are. In fact, several guests asked how long we had been friends with her, which is a real testament to how well she captured our story and brought it to life. Hannah approached everything we shared with openness, warmth and absolutely no judgement, embracing all of our quirks and creating a ceremony that felt incredibly natural and genuine. Having also had a legal ceremony a few days beforehand, we were really struck by the difference a celebrant-led ceremony can make. While our legal ceremony was lovely, Hannah's ceremony was on another level entirely. It was personal, meaningful and became one of our favourite parts of the whole day. Hannah also went above and beyond in the small moments. We had a video call with a family member in America as part of the ceremony and, when we realised we'd given no thought to how to conclude it, she effortlessly stepped in and handled it for us. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah. The care, thought and attention she put into every part of our ceremony were evident throughout, and it genuinely felt as though an old friend was standing up there telling our story. We are so grateful for everything she did and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thank you Hannah

We booked Tamara for our wedding in August, we wanted a celebrant for a more personal tailored service and we certainly got that! Tamara made the effort to meet with us several times before the big day to properly get to know us and our relationship story. She crafted a personal ceremony, helping us with decisions around readings and structure. She even made the effort to visit our venue so she was well prepared ahead of the wedding day. Tamara helped us do a run through ahead of the wedding with bridesmaids and groomsmen so the day itself went without a hitch! Our ceremony was full of laughter and joy and felt super personal, Tamara felt like one the family. We would recommend Tamara to anyone who needs a celebrant, she was warm, friendly, professional and helped us have the perfect wedding day!

Mair is an absolutely wonderful celebrant and we highly recommend her for wedding ceremonies! My partner and I really wanted a non-religious, bilingual (French/English) wedding ceremony that celebrated our love story and the commitment we were making to one another and Mair crafted and delivered a beautiful ceremony for us! Working with Mair throughout the process was such a pleasure, and many of our guests were so impressed with the fluidity with which Mair flowed from English to French during the ceremony. Highly recommend!
