Why Choose a Civil Celebrant?PhotosTestimonials



Testimonials
We both want to say a huge thank you for everything! You were so helpful and organised throughout the whole planning process and kept us (the two terrible procrastinators) on track. The ceremony you wrote was lovely and really fitted our personalities. We had lots of comments from guests about how great you were and we have been telling lots of people how wonderful you are! No suggestions for improving the quality of service – we couldn’t have found a better celebrant. Gina made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. Thanks Gina – we appreciate everything.
  • Tammie and Andrew (May 2011)
We were very satisfied with Ms Gina. Even though she filled in as our celebrant last minute, she was still able to gather all the information on time. Ms Gina speaks very clear and sweet which made us very at ease and calm through our tough times. It was very cold that day but Ms Gina was able to d her job neatly and provided music to play when we lost our ipod, We are very happy with everything. Thanks Ms Gina!
  • Pitt and Marjorie (April 2011)

  • Helen and Peter (March 2011)
Gina - I say first impressions are very important and our first impression was that you were exceptional, responding to our email while yyou were on holiday and being helpful and professional thereafter. We felt very comfortable talking with you. It was great communication from the start and you were flexible an showed genuine support and care through the whole process. Thanks for making this a very special day for our little man!!!  
  • Sean and Jess (Jakob’s parents) after naming ceremony, March 2011
Along the way: Gina was keen to make sure we were well informed and prepared. She was kind, approachable, always pleasant, comprehensive, thorough and flexible, encouraging our thoughts, input and different ideas to truly make our ceremony personal. 
 
The Wedding Ceremony: Gina was not just there to read our ceremony. She was a wonderfully calming influence, understanding that nerves and excitement are a big part of the day. Gina made sure we were both happy and comfortable at all times in a discreet manner. She was mindful of family dynamics and ensured all guests had a wonderful day. We could not have chosen anyone better. 
 
Thanks so much for everything, we had a fantastic day and couldn't be happier! We really appreciate your professionalism, organisation and support over the last few months and especially on the day - I don't think we could have chosen anyone better. We had people telling us how great they thought you were, especially how you delivered the ceremony, and we have to agree. My parents said they loved how it was heartfelt and delivered with a great voice, so thank you again so much.
  • Joanne and Glenn – May 2011 
 
Gina- Fabulous! Couldn’t have asked for a better person to perform our ceremonies (a surprise marriage and naming of a child). We’ve had a number of compliments from friends and family about how natural and friendly you were. ……….we’re rapt with your service and will be sure to recommend you and return in future for the naming of any more children. You were helpful from the first contact.
  • Erin and Brendan - May 2011

I contacted Gina via email and she provided all relevant information. It was very helpful. Gina is very friendly, supportive and well organised. She is patient to explain all the information clearly.

Brilliant planning. Gina, you allowed our day to run seamlessly. You prepared us well and our ceremony was everything I hoped it would be - casual, light, humorous but still meaningful and beautiful. Your research into limestone caves fitted beautifully into the ceremony and your time and effort is appreciated.
  • Donna & Chad (married in cave at Wee Jasper) September 2010
Gina, you gave me great confidence in your ability to fulfil my requirements for a successful wedding from the moment we first spoke. You lead me through all of the information I needed with your ability and empathy. I was more than satisfied particularly as some problems due to complications from visa issues caused additional work and consideration. You were very generous with your time and particularly helpful. You are very professional and a lovely person and we were lucky to have selected you from the barrel of local celebrants. Our friends applauded our choice.
