Testimonials

​I have been honoured to perform over 320 weddings and dozens of other types of ceremonies since becoming a celebrant in 2003. 

Here are the things that just some of my past clients have said about me and my celebrant services. 

I'm thrilled to say that I have never had a client who was unhappy with my services.

Nowadays, I conduct celebrancy as a hobby rather than an income-generating business - but that's okay. I live in a remote area where there is reduced need for my services.  I still work very hard to ensure ceremony clients get the best possible service.​

"Sharon, I am finally getting round to writing all my thank you emails and you were of course the first on the list. I wanted to send you a "proper" card but I have felt prompted to send you this now just because o the amount of phone calls and cards we have been getting from people saying what a wonderful and amazing day it was... How the actual day turned out really did exceed our expectations. Everything was just perfect and I couldn't have wished for more... I can't thank you enough for making the most important day of my life also the most wonderful."
Samantha (and Ian), Nudgee

"Hi Sharon, thank you so much for you special words, your hard work and your kind manner throughout our planning and execution of the wedding. What a wonderful day we had, we find ourselves being hard pressed to wish for anything different. We had the best day ever and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of it and providing an amazing experience."
Kelly-Shain and Don, Nhulunbuy

"We just wanted to say thank you again for all you did for us leading up to the ceremony and on the day. We were so impressed by your services and everyone thought the ceremony was beautiful. So thanks again, Sharon!"

"An absolutely AWESOME celebrant. Sharon married my husband and I on the hottest day of the year in December 08 when we also got a huge storm - being an outdoor wedding she had to hurry the words. She not only made everyone laugh with her good humour of the storm but she also did another certificate up because she didn't want us to have a certificate ruined by rain drops."
Amanda (and Phil), Murrumba Downs

"Well, where do I start? Paul and I would like to thank you for being the person up there with us. We couldn't have chosen a better person as you allowed us to be ourselves and have the ceremony we wanted... We received comments on the style of ceremony we had and the content involved in what was said during the ceremony... It was exactly what we wanted  and we can't thank you enough."
Melissa (and Paul), Chermside West

"Sharon, thank you so much for making our special day perfect. Everything you did from start to finish was truly professional and in doing so you gave us the romantic, special wedding we wanted. September 13th 2008 is a day we will never forget, thanks to you and our wonderful family and friends."
