I knew from the moment we met Sandie that she would be a great celebrant. She has a lovely way about her that puts you at ease. In our initial meeting Sandie explained the whole process to us clearly and listened carefully to how we wanted a ceremony to be. Sandie provided us with a script for the ceremony beforehand so we had the opportunity to change anything. However, it was brilliant so we didn't need to change much at all! She conducted the ceremony flawlessly and it was exactly what we wanted and asked for. Sandie genuinely cared about our special day and delivered what we asked for. Thank you so much Sandie! We would recommend you to everyone. Jack & Nuch

Sandie was an amazing celebrant to work with. I felt she went above and beyond from the moment we met her, to ensure that our special day was perfect. She spent time getting to know us, learning about us and coming up with a script/plan for the ceremony that suited us to a tee. While our ceremony was traditional in some ways, in others it wasn’t and Sandie was able to adapt. We had a hand fasting ceremony and she even bought the material for us and hand sewed it, something we will keep as a memory forever. I couldn’t recommend Sandie more highly enough.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Sandie is extremely thorough, personable, empathetic and joyous. Has so much to offer by way of advice in structure, readings, phrasing, and general order and run of ceremony. Not only that, but she has a gentle and non-invasive demeanour which was noticeably appreciated by our guests. So great! Not just a celebrant, but a friend who guided us along the way. Has a range of cultural options to integrate into the ceremony depending on your flavour. And one helluva wordsmith. Worth every penny. Thanks Sandie!

Benson, thank you so much for your amazing review! I had such a great time meeting your family and friends before and after the ceremony, you were all very relaxed and clearly having a ball. I know you were nervous as well, but you are both so in love, it was my absolute pleasure to be there for you both.

Sandie is a very nice, warm, caring and professional celebrant who delivered an unforgettable wedding ceremony to us. Her voice tone is warm, gentle and polite. She hosted a small, warm and elegant ceremony for us, which let me feel as if I’m holding a real mini wedding. She will send out detailed email for instructions before the day, and will attend to any questions and issues before and after the ceremony. Due to the manifest error by the organisation, the postcode was wrong on our commemorative certificate, once we point it out to her, she makes her best endeavors to help us rectify it and submit the application to NSW birth, death and marriage as soon as she can. She is committed to time, and professionalism. Definitely recommend her services! Thank you Sandie, Catherine&Ray
