Hi Elaine,
Dave and I just want to say THANK YOU so much for being such a wonderful celebrant! We really couldn't have had such a wonderful wedding ceremony without all of your hard work. Our ceremony was everything we wanted and we think you encapsulated our wishes perfectly. Your lovely calm and positive nature really shone through and we had so many beautiful comments from our friends and family about you and our ceremony. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know, wanting a fabulous wedding celebrant.

We will definitely send through some photos from our wedding, once we received them back from Sarah and of course you may use them on your website.Thank you so much again for your efforts, you really did help to make our day the best in our lives so far! We look forward to seeing you in the future, perhaps at a friends wedding :)    Kindest regards,

Dear Elaine,
Apologies that it has taken this long for me to reply, Steve and I arrived home from our honeymoon early this week.
I would like to thank you so much for your services, our family & friends thought the ceremony was just lovely, it was a shame about the weather, but in all it was such an amazing day, and we managed to get some beautiful photos.
I would like to also thank you for your prompt preparation in the lead up to our Wedding day, words cannot express just how easy it was for us to prepare our marriage license. It was of great help - Thank you.
I have attached a couple of photos you may like.
Once again, thank you so much for everything, Steve and I just wish we could re-live our Wedding day exactly how it panned out, I am sure many other couples
who are looking for a celebrant will be happy with your services.
Thank you once again,

Hi Elaine,
Sorry it was taken so long for us to get back to you. As you can imagine it's been busy back at work.Hawaii was fantastic. We absolutely had a ball and relaxed quite a lot too.Thank you so much for being our celebrant. We were both really touched that you could do it for us. It made our ceremony really personal and we were thrilled with how it all ran.
I have attached some photos.  We would be more than happy for you to use them on your website. I can't believe how lucky we were with the weather!!! Thank god the ceremony wasn't an hour later!

One of the bridesmaids at the next wedding you went to, was one of our friends. She obviously couldn't make it to our wedding, but recognised you in the photos. How funny!We received out marriage certificate last week. Thank you for getting that organised so quickly.

Thanks again Elaine.We would love to keep in touch.

Hi Elaine,

Believe it or not we only just got back from our honeymoon yesterday!! We went to Peru and Fiji - it was absolutely incredible! Mat and I would like to thank you for a wonderful ceremony. You made us both feel so relaxed and at ease and did such a wonderful job on the day so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Everyone said what a wonderful ceremony it was and we think it was absolutely perfect. :)

We are still waiting on the professional photographs but some fantastic ones were taken by family and friends - some of which I have attached.My dress is by Johanna Johnson, she is based in Paddington and I absolutely love her designs and dresses.

Sergeants Mess were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They could not do enough for us on the day and their level of professionalism was amazing. The reception was the best party we have ever attended and we had numerous comments about the level of service on the night and how outstanding it was.

All in all we really did have the best day of our lives.Thanks again Elaine

Sergeants Mess 15th April, 2011

PS  We have also received our formal certificate too so thanks for sorting.

Hi Elaine,
The wedding was just great. We also agree the ceremony was simple yet it was exactly the concept we were after. I am sure you have heard this many times, but we were so caught up in the excitement, moments just sped by and we are very much looking forward to the video to appreciate what happened!

 Thank you so much for your help and advice. You very quickly understood what we were after and to offer agreement, support and advice where necessary.

 Rupinder and I will always look back on this period, basically from January, with feelings of complete happiness, obviously because it culminated in our wedding, but also because everything just happened so easily, so simply, without any stress or tension. It was a really serene and beautiful experience throughout. You helped with that!
Once again it was an absolute pleasure having you conduct our wedding and we still look back on the day with wonderful memories.
Thank you so much.

Warm Regards

Dear Elaine,
We can't THANK YOU enough for all your help, advice and finally the beautiful ceremony you gave us on our wedding day!You were extremely helpful without being pushy, you were patient, happy and approachable when helping us write our ceremony. 
You are efficient and organised and (thank god) reminded us of all the things we needed to do!I guess until the ceremony is in motion, it's not easy to imagine what it will be like and how it should run. We are so glad we worked with you and felt so much meaning in our vows on the day. Your light and pleasant personality was something that most guests mentioned to us afterwards. They loved your sense of humour.Please use these words as a recommendation to others.Thank you!

Hi Elaine
Thanks for your note, and for the update on the registered marriage certificate, we will look out for it in the mail.
Thanks for fulfilling the role that you did Elaine, one of the most important ones really. You were great with the girls, which was important to us. Everyone has commented on the ceremony with most saying they shed a tear, which means I think we all got the mix right and everything was appropriate in including the family celebration components.
Thanks again for helping make the day so special, we are both very proud of our girls as well as each other, and are looking forward this next chapter of our lives together.
Cheers

Dear Elaine,
Heather & I want to say a bit THANK YOU for a wonderful ceremony. The weather at Palm Beach was just right, not too hot, not too cold, lovely sea breezes. It was great to have a chat with you and for you to meet my family and friends. It will be a day to remember. I don't think there are many out there with an engagement of 23 years! We wish you all the best and if you do get someone with a longer engagement than 23 years, do drop us a line!David & Heather          Palm Beach   9 April 2009  Take care and all our love,

 

Dear Elaine,Sorry we have not been in touch sooner.   We arrived back in the UK yesterday and were pleased to find our marriage certificate had arrived in the post.
We would like to say a very very big thank you for conducting our wedding.    It was such a lovely day and the ceremony was just wonderful, it was exactly how we planned it.   We took a boat trip around the harbour in the afternoon, had lots of champagne and then went to the Harbour Kitchen at the Hyatt Hotel for the rest of the day.   We then flew up to Palm Cove for 5 days which was so relaxing.    We spent the rest of our time in Sydney and it was nice to spend some time with Scott and Robert.    Sydney is a great city. As promised, I enclose a couple of photos for your album and hope you like them.
Once again, we can't thank you enough.
With good wishes.
