Our Reviews
Sharon & Graham Davis
“Sharon and I also wanted to thank you for sharing our wedding day with us in such a special way. Our wedding ceremony was just perfect and exactly what we wanted – warm and heartfelt without being over the top! So many of our guests commented on how lovely it was and that was all thanks to you. The choices of ceremonies, vows and readings you supplied were fantastic and made it so easy for us to mix and match to create our own, very personal ceremony. Thank you also for looking after me when I was overwhelmed by emotion and for gently guiding everyone when nerves kicked in! Thank you also for your professional and caring approach leading up to the day – we really did appreciate it and we will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who is looking to book a Celebrant. Our only regret is that we only realised after you had left the ceremony venue that two of our guests had to pull out of the reception at the last minute. We wish we had known sooner as we would have absolutely loved it if you could have come to the reception and celebrate with us! Thank you again. Warm wishes”

“Dear Phillip, We would like to express how grateful we are that you were able to be a part of our Wedding day. We were delighted to have found a Celebrant who was so obliging in conducting our Wedding the way we had planned. With your warmth, sincerity, bubbly personality and great sense of humour, you made us feel so relaxed and at ease right from our very first meeting. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thankyou for making our special day so perfect. It is without hesitation that we would highly recommend you to anyone. ”

“Phillip has been a wonderful celebrant for our family. Having done 2 weddings, 2 naming days, a wedding vow renewal, and a funeral, all in our immediate family, I would not hesitate to have Phillip look after another occasion for us. Phillipis very professional and adds that special personal touch to each occasion. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a memorative occasion.”
