Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant.

Kerrie is a truly exceptional celebrant. We got married in September in Carlisle. We've both been to lots of weddings in the past, and generally, while its always lovely to see friends get married, the ceremony itself is usually the least favourite part as it can be preachy or a little dull. Ours however, was absolutely incredible and it's all thanks to Kerrie.

We wanted something that was personal to us and that felt special, and Kerrie more than delivered that for us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple. She listened, offered her expert advice and planned something so special that it blew us away. She is so warm, kind, understanding and so easy to talk to. She just gets it, and she's brilliant.

All of our guests were raving about the ceremony. My cousin said it was the most honest and beautiful ceremony she'd ever been to. One friend messaged us days later to say that he'd been "really affected" by our wedding. It set the tone for the entire day, which was the most incredible and special day of our lives.

Thank you so much to Kerrie for making our wedding so special. We'll hold the memory of it in our hearts forever. It wouldn't have been the same without Kerrie, so thank goodness that we found her. We are so grateful!

Kerrie made our day so incredibly special!

We are beyond grateful to have had Kerrie as our wedding celebrant! From the very beginning, she was nothing short of amazing. Her warm and personable approach set the tone for what turned out to be a truly magical day.

All our guests couldn’t stop raving about how special, personal, and unique our ceremony was; many remarked that they had never experienced anything like it! Kerrie has a remarkable gift for weaving together individual stories and emotions, and she certainly made our day unforgettable.

In an incredibly touching gesture, Kerrie took the time to amend our ceremony to honour my husband’s late father, who had passed away just before our wedding. The tribute was heartfelt and beautifully integrated, and it brought many to tears. It was a poignant reminder of love and loss that made the day even more meaningful for everyone present.

Kerrie’s professionalism and dedication were evident as she liaised with all our other vendors in the lead-up to the wedding. She ensured that everyone was aligned with the program, which made the flow of the day seamless. I was also particularly impressed with how she coordinated with the florist and stylist to dress in colours that matched our wedding theme—such a thoughtful touch that showed her attention to detail!

On the morning of the wedding, Kerrie arrived early and spent valuable time with me and my bridesmaids, making everyone feel comfortable and familiar with her presence. She was equally attentive to the groom’s party, checking in regularly to reassure me that everything was in hand, especially after they had a late-night prior. Her calm demeanour truly put everyone at ease.

One of the best parts of working with Kerrie was her ability to incorporate unique elements into the ceremony that resonated with us as a couple. As we live just 10 minutes away, she kindly visited our home a couple of days before the big day for a brief walk-through, which was incredibly helpful.

We chose not to read Kerrie’s script or words beforehand, wanting to preserve the surprise and capture our genuine reactions during the ceremony. We discussed what we wanted to include and provided her with some readings, and I can honestly say she exceeded all our expectations. The ceremony was brimming with love, tears, and laughter!

Overall, Kerrie made our wedding ceremony a beautiful, intimate, and unforgettable experience. Her warmth, professionalism, and personal touch were everything we could have hoped for and more. If you are considering a celebrant for your special day, do not hesitate to choose Kerrie! She will bring your vision to life with grace and love. Thank you, Kerrie, for making our day so incredibly special! x

Kerrie is a must!!

We cannot thank Kerrie enough for the beautiful ceremony she composed for us - it was everything we wanted and more, we honestly couldn't be happier 🥰 The blend of humour and emotion was exactly what we wanted and she managed to make it so personal - it was magical 🥰 Our guests were blown away, as were we - especially with that little trick Kerrie had up her sleeve which brought back lovely memories on the day! Kerrie made the whole process so easy and really put us both at ease, we honestly cannot thank or recommend her enough. Kerrie, You are amazing at what you do and it is so apparent that you are in love with creating such memorable moments for people. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

A Perfect Day

From start to finish Kerrie provided an incredibly personable and professional service. We were so happy to find such a warm and reassuring celebrant, and instantly knew Kerrie was the one for us.

A good amount of time was taken to really get to know us both, which resulted in a wedding service that was unique, fun, moving, and full of joy.

We had the perfect day, and Kerrie played a large part in making that happen - thanks once more! X X

Amazing Experience!

Kerrie was absolutely amazing. She made our wedding so special and everyone commented on how personal she was and she made it so lovely for us.
She's such a nice person who done everything possible to reflect our relationship, adding humour which we absolutely loved. She even done a personalised poem!
All my guests said it was the best service they've ever experienced.
In the morning she came to speak to both me and my husband and made us feel so at ease, she even managed to calm the wedding nerves.
Kerrie is beautiful inside and out, we couldn't recommend her enough.

We can’t recommend Kerrie enough!

We can’t recommend Kerrie enough! She is fantastic at her job, getting to know couples personally to be able to tell their story.
We had heard amazing things about her ceremony's so we knew it was going to be good but we both agreed, we couldn’t believe how good!
It was so perfect, capturing both of us to a T - we couldn’t have asked for anything more and wouldn’t have changed a thing!
Kerrie is great at responding and keeping in touch and has been reassuring throughout the lead up and on the day of our wedding. Thank you so so much! ❤️
The ceremony was the talking point of the day, it really was so special!

The best in the bees-ness!

Where do we start! From the moment we first made contact with Kerri we just knew she was the one to perform our wedding ceremony! A genuine, kind and professional individual who is exceptional at what she does!
Kerri’s attention to details when helping us plan the perfect ceremony was second to none, she gave guidance and advice, but made sure it was done exactly how we wanted and pictured it, making sure our little boy was included which is something that was important to us.
The amount of guests who commented on how special/different the ceremony was in comparison to your normal registrar lead wedding said it all!
So if you are thinking about having a celebrant lead ceremony look no further Kerri is the best of the best!!

Stop looking, she’s the best!!

Every aspect of the experience with Kerrie was amazing, making us feel comfortable and at ease at the beginning of the process to making the ceremony full of laughter and love. She even negotiated getting us inside when it started to rain right before my beautiful bride walked down the aisle. She’s truly amazing!!!
