25.01.2022 Vanessa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We wanted a celebrant that would make us laugh... and thats exactly what we got. We made it difficult for her as we planned a surprise wedding but she took all the planning in her stride. Every step of the way we were impressed and so thankful we had someone so professional and easy-going helping us along the way. If you want a celebrant who knows what shes doing and truly LOVES it. Vanessa is your woman. Caring, funny, kind and professional. Shell make things seem super easy and very special at the same time. Thank YOU!!! Love the Rozs.

25.01.2022 Just conducted a wedding of a delightful couple. Although they had been together for 27 years, it was still a deeply moving ceremony and I was honoured to share in their day. Then they presented me with a beautiful card and gift! Bubbles! My favourite!

24.01.2022 "Many, many thanks Vanessa for being our wonderful Marriage Celebrant. Right from our first meeting with you over a cup of coffee we knew that you understood and respected our vision for an intimate, relaxed ceremony with our families and closest friends at our home. We love how you walked us through the planning process - providing us with information and suggestions and liking our ideas for personalising the ceremony to suit our wishes. Thank you for your endless patience... as we worked towards getting our big day just right! Your calm, clear voice and good humour ensured our wedding was a beautiful balance of laughter, love and seriousness. So many of our guests commented on your lovely manner conducting the wedding and many also commented on how they felt the ceremony was one of the most personal and loving they had ever attended! Vanessa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so very, very special!" Bronwen and Richard xx See more

23.01.2022 A wonderfully intimate ceremony I conducted last month in Palm Beach. There was a lot of laughter and the odd tear...and that was just from the celebrant! "Thanks for being our wonderful marriage celebrant. You made the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable" With our love, Susie and Bob

23.01.2022 Congratulations Esther and Patrick! What a great day, and thanks for having me as your MC and 5 star review!

22.01.2022 Thumbs up all round! "Vanessa was friendly, professional and easy to work with. She told us everything we needed to know and made sure we didnt miss any vital steps or deadlines. She created a beautiful, light and funny ceremony, exactly to the style we envisioned." Olena and Victor

22.01.2022 Another five star Google review! "All our wedding guests commented on how perfect Vanessa's ceremony was, and we have to agree. She took the time to get to know us, offering advice and guidance on many different approaches and styles that would compliment our personalities. We highly recommend her services." Thais & Michael

18.01.2022 No. I didn't get the memo about wearing all white. Thank goodness for the guest wearing the Vans shirt, or I would have really stood out! But it didn't matter - it was a wonderful celebration for local couple here in Freshie. Congratulations Paul and June!

18.01.2022 We may have had friends holding up the arbour as a mini-cyclone swept through Avalon, but it didnt dampen the spirits one bit! Such a stunning day for a beach wedding. Congratulations Sam and Conor! www.northernbeachescelebrant.net

18.01.2022 This email from a bride has made my day: "Thank you so much Vanessa, you were bloody excellent! We cant thank you enough for a ripper of a job, we had great feedback from everyone on how professional and awesome you were. "

14.01.2022 Congratulations Matt and Kim...and Frankie! I had the wonderful privilege of marrying Kims sister just a few months before, and got to officiate this very special and intimate ceremony a couple of weeks ago. I have the best job!

14.01.2022 Sometimes it rains. Sometimes you have to move a ceremony. But it didnt matter - it was still an amazing day for Pam and Glenn. Who needs a signing table when you have a surfboard handy?

14.01.2022 Congratulations David and Stephany! They came all the way from Belgium to be married in the heart of Summer Bay aka Palm Beach. What a spectacular day!

She really cares about making the ceremony a great memory for everybody. She is also very proactive and will prepare anything you need. Thank you Vanessa!"

05.01.2022 "We could not have asked for a better celebrant. Vanessa was amazing from the get-go. She put us at ease at the initial meeting and her communication throughout the wedding planning process was great. She really has a way with words and nothing about her service was generic, it was all tailored to suit our personalities which I loved and appreciated. Vanessa even helped us to write our own vows which I initially felt so daunting. We had so many compliments from our guests on the ceremony. Vanessa made it the perfect mix of love and laughter and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a personalised ceremony." Michelle and Paulo

01.01.2022 Congratulations Nikki and Watts! A spectacular winters day, an exuberant flower girl, and a bride and groom so happy that we all got swept up in the joy of it all! "Vanessa was amazing from that initial phone enquiry to the moment we said goodbye following our ceremony - and even the personal follow up emails after our wedding. We couldnt have asked for a more enjoyable, easy and carefree ceremony, and start to married life. We didnt really know what we wanted initially so Vanessas professionalism and guidance was massively appreciated - and with a few laughs along the way we pieced together what was a relaxed, personal and heartfelt ceremony which incorporated and conveyed our personalities! We would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a relaxed, professional and warm celebrant to marry them!"
