Testimonials

"Thank you & well done Philip!"

As a celebrant who takes pride in his work, it is really rewarding when someone says "thank you!" So, I decided to publish comments from some who sent me a note including the lovely things they said.

Luke and Genevieve's Scottish wedding at Gregson Park, Hamilton Aug 2009
"Thank you so much for being a part of our spedial day. The ceremony you delivered was absolutely spectacular. Our friends & family are still talking about it. You have something special that a lot of celebrants don't have."

Samantha and Anthony's Scottish-Chinese wedding at the Hunter Valley Gardens chapel. May 2009
"Thank you for being such a wonderful celebrant at our wedding. Many of the guests loved the novelty of the Scottish traditions and it certainly made our wedding a unique and memorable day for us and our guests. We had the most wonderful day and we hope you enjoyed yourself!"

It all seemed to go so fast.
It was truly the best day of our lives and you helped make it all come true. I thank you so much.

The amount of comments we have had from all our guests...
Interesting, not boring, unique, exciting, new traditions and every one loved the Gaelic introduction, wine ceremonies and settling in stone... Everyone was talking about it all night..

It was all a massive hit! Thank you so much again."

Thanks again - I will highly recommend your services in the future."

Just wanted to send a quick email before we head off on our trip.

Thankyou so much for the most beautiful ceremony, it had everyone talking!! So many people came to us to tell us how much they enjoyed it and how unique it was. If you would like us to write a testimonial for you we would be more than happy to!! We will be O/S for the next 5 weeks so we can sort that out when we get back!!

Alison & Garry, Mount View April 2010
"I just wanted to say thank you again for our ceremony – it was everything we hoped it would be and more!

It was the perfect length and everyone found it unique and interesting, which was exactly what we wanted. I have to say, I felt like I was in such a trance, partly due to nerves and partly due to the emotion of the day, that I had to go back and watch the video Gary’s niece took for us, to really remember it all. And it was just as wonderful watching it, as it was being in it.

The rest of the day was just as magical as the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding."

Carrisa & Gavin Nora Head, Oct 2009
" Hi Philip, Yes we had a fantastic time. We're back from our honeymoon and back to reality!

We would both like to thank you for such a FANTASTIC job. SOooooooo many people commented on what a great celebrant you were and what a beautiful ceremony it was. Thankyou so much. Wowie my head has just grown to triple size!"

Lachlan & Nicole, Milton Park, Bowral, August 2009
" Just thought I would touch base and see how you were. As you said we would, have had countless favourable comments about our ceremony (usually people just complain about that and want it over with). We received the video and everything looks fantastic. We would be happy to provide you with a copy for your archives if you want.

We also have some great photos of you and Barry the piper that we thought we would send up."

Kylie & Mahunthan, Margan Estate Jan 2009
"Once again, thank you for such a wonderful ceremony on the 31st - it was a truly memorable day and we were glad you were able to share it with us.

We're still waiting on the official photographs from the day, however we will ensure we send you some through for your collection."

Thom and Danielle, Cafe Enzo, Pokolbin Dec 2009
"Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special and unique. All the guests kept telling us how beautiful and different the ceremony was. Even the photographers came up to us and said that it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they had ever seen! Everyone especially loved the ring warming!

Thank you also for everything you did to help us create the perfect ceremony, it was wonderful how approachable you always were when we had any questions and your amazing ability to always be able to answer them in such detail!

All the best for the future. It was lovely meeting you and having you be apart of our big day!"

Ross & Danielle, Peppers Creek Chapel, Dec 2009
Even though we did not have a chance to get to know you (which we would like to have done), we both thought you put so much into the ceremony and the planning behind it. This shows a lot of character! .

I think the temperature affected us all, but not in a way that made the service any less memorable.

Brooke & Alex, Peppers Creek Chapel, OCt 2008
"Thanks for the ceremony, it was awesome. Many folk have told us it was one of the most interesting and unique things they had seen and also wanted to know more. This is the sign of a success if you ask me."

Adam & Rachelle, Mt View Oct 2008
"We just wanted to say thanks and let you know everthing is going well. All of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony & how you introduced the elements, like handfasting, so that they knew what the meaning behind them was.

My wife & I personally want to thank you for helping make our wedding something special. Attached are a couple of photos of the ceremony, I hope you enjoy them."

Gemma and Jason
Zenith Beach, Tomaree National Park. March 2007
"Jason and I wanted to say thank you very much for the lovely ceremony. You were brilliant. Given our less than orthodox style and ceremony wording, we appreciate your sense of humour.

We also wanted to thank you for all that you did for us in the amazing amount of information that you provided at the beginning, to make it all as easy as possible to understand. As well as all the paperwork (right down to address labels) to make the name change process afterwards easy too.

I don’t know what we would have done without you, your folder or the step by step guide afterwards. You did a fantastic job and helped make it a very special day that many of our guests will not forget. Thank you."
