Testimonials

Stories from recent marriages

May 2025 We just want to say thank you again for everything you did for our wedding (both of them)! All our guests thought you were someone we had known us for a lifetime – and we loved it! Thank you for including Pepper too – she is still our world!

Katie and Tom

We got married on March 14th at 2:00 PM. The registrar was James, and the celebrant was Elaine. They were so friendly and professional right from the start. They made the whole ceremony fun with their kindness and humour. Everyone at the wedding said it was amazing. My wife and I are so grateful to them for making our wedding so special and memorable.

Steve Ireland

Thank you very much, Samantha! All the guests were extremely grateful for the support from both of you on our big day!  We sincerely appreciate you making our day so special"

Ram and Ushmita

We want to say how wonderful the registrars who attended our wedding were. I believe their names were Lynn and Wendy. They made me and my husband feel at ease and we received so much feedback from our guest, how lovely Lynn and Wendy were and how great they delivered the ceremony. Please send our thanks to them both."

James and Debbie

Lawrence (Burtenshaw) and I (Teresa Nidd) were married as above and would like to extend our thanks to the team for the service received. Alan and Rachel were great, helping us relax and enjoy the day. The kindness shown to us and our grandson Samuel, who was ring bearer, was wonderful. We did not feel hurried or pressured at any time. Thank you all.
