Wendy made getting married easy! From the moment we met Wendy, we knew we were in safe and reliable hands and that she would make our day special. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, light hearted, fun and inclusive. In the lead up to the wedding, she guided us through the process and made it less daunting. She is absolutely delightful, and she did everything on the day to make sure that we were comfortable and front and centre. Just before the ceremony and behind the scene's Wendy took my hands and told me to make sure I enjoy the day, this time, and every moment. We simply could not have expected a better experience on our wedding day than what Wendy gave us! We are forever grateful! Thank you Wendy!! Nisha and Richard

Hi, this is Maze and Mara. We must say that choosing Wendy as our celebrant was the best decision we made. She brought a very professional touch and a joyful vibe to our wedding. Wendy was incredibly kind. My mother couldn't attend the wedding, and it seemed like the universe heard my sadness because Wendy appeared at that moment. Having her witness our wedding felt like having my mother there, which meant a lot to me. She was more than just our celebrant; she brought us warmth throughout the process. Wendy was incredibly attentive and helpful beforehand, and on the wedding day, my partner and I didn't know how to fix the veil or tie the tie, but Wendy helped us with both, Thanks to her, we could present ourselves beautifully to each other. We will never forget her professionalism and the wonderful memories of our wedding day. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us an unforgettable and precious wedding.

We were so pleased we chose Wendy to officiate our wedding back in March! Wendy was extremely professional, organised and such a pleasure to work with. We felt so at ease knowing she had everything under control whilst we were in the midst of of the wedding planning craziness. All of our guests really enjoyed our ceremony, and a lot of that is credit to Wendy and how she guided us in our decisions on how to put the ceremony together. She was accommodating to all of our requests and even last minute changes, everything went off without a hitch. An absolute treasure, you'd be crazy not to choose Wendy McRae to officiate your wedding day!
