Testimonials
James Hasler, the Man in the Red Coat
“As a toastmaster I naturally get to meet and work with suppliers of all kinds and included in that list are celebrants.
There are good ones and there are great ones and Debbie is up there at the top of the great ones list.
Sometimes you just know in advance as to whether working alongside others is going to flow and considering our roles that is vital. Well even before we met I could tell over the phone that everything was going to be perfect.
For her couples, she must be a delight. She is accommodating, wise to how things will look for them and as such can guide them in the best way possible so that they can feel totally relaxed.
Finally, when it is time to deliver the ceremony of a lifetime, all those years of media training has clearly not gone to waste. Any couple that engages her can be assured of a beautifully delivered ceremony that will live in the memories of all that are present for all the right reasons.
I look forward to the next time our paths cross.”
Harriet and Jack
“Debbie is such a wonderful person & celebrant.
If you are looking for a celebrant who takes the time to understand you as a couple, shows you so much love and is so considerate towards you, your family and friends, then look no further. Debbie was absolutely fantastic from the very first call we had.
She was such a calming influence amongst all the chaos and we loved getting to know her. She has a real passion for what she does and the pride beams out of her.
We couldn’t have asked for more on our Wedding day, her script was so lovely and she captured us perfectly.”
Liz (Mother of the bride)
“Absolutely exceptional, Debbie should have 6 stars on all counts!
My daughter got married in an idyllic historic villa in Tuscany in August and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our choice of Debbie as celebrant. Having worked as a TV presenter for many decades, we trusted that Debbie wouldn’t be overwhelmed by 200 guests, 11 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, 2 dog ringbearers, a live singer, multiple readings and audience participation but her broadcasting experience also gave her an uncanny ability to think on her feet and nip any crisis in the bud, amongst others – the makeup stain on the bridesmaid’s dress – sorted, the wedding ring that didn’t fit (Debbie lent her own!) Truly the Mary Poppins of celebrants!
Debbie made the ceremony incredibly personal by getting to know the bride and groom so well beforehand, she was a great calming influence on my extrovert daughter and her far more reserved fiancé and wove the details of their whirlwind romance into a ceremony which had us laughing and crying in equal measures. It was a perfect magical day and Debbie had a big part in creating that.

“Debbie, thank you for leading our ceremony and being a superstar from start to finish.
We and our guests were so impressed by the amazing story you’d captured and how well you told it at the ceremony. It was like you’ve known us for years!! In reality, your professional approach with a clear and detailed questionnaire, coming to meet and get to know us in-person before the ceremony, and your presentation skills meant that the ceremony was always going to be perfect.
Your warm and professional approach set the tone for a day of celebration which is exactly what we wanted.
You’ve been a star from the very first zoom call, to the preparation and script writing, to the ceremony and a beautiful summary video.
Thank you playing such a big part in our day.”
Rachael and Karl
“From our very first zoom we knew we were in safe hands with Debbie! Besides being an absolute presenting professional, Debbie has the gift of reading her couple’s personalities, humour and visions of their perfect celebration, and putting it all down on paper so beautifully.
With each call, email and text, Debbie helped us to stay calm and focused amid the wedding chaos, and was prepared with suggestions of readings and music choices when we drew blanks. She was always so generous with her time.
On the day itself, Debbie’s care and attention to detail knew no bounds, even down to ensuring our venue looked as she knew we would want it to.
Our friends and family raved about Debbie too, noting she provided the perfect blend of humour and sentiment! We simply couldn’t have asked for more.”
Sophie
“That was the most amazing ceremony, everyone adored it and adored you, and Simon and I were thrilled, it was exactly what we had wanted for our ceremony.”
Thank you for being so astute and spot-on about us, fun, and an absolute joy to work with.”
Simon
“From the moment we met her, we realised that Debbie was the celebrant for us. She absolutely loves ‘love’ and loves happy endings – which is, after all, what a wedding is all about. Debbie is naturally curious about people. She was fastidious about, and took time to hear, our respective stories and wove them together in a bespoke and personal narrative picking out the key points (both serious and light-hearted) that mattered to us and that we wanted to share with friends and family. On the day, Debbie delivered it perfectly. Our wedding felt intimate (despite over 60 people being in the room) as well as inclusive of our children and parents and a genuinely joyous occasion. Thank you so much.”

“Where do I begin with Debbie? Honestly from the first point of contact
I felt such a sense of peace with her.
She approaches her work with passion, joy and such kindness and interest.
She wasn’t just our celebrant, she was a motivator and the most enthusiastic about our wedding and proceedings.
Her support meant the world, offering her time so generously to rehearse with us more than once.
She is organised, well prepared and wrote a perfect script. Many friends really got to know our story through Debbie’s words and it really was perfectly said.
Thank you Debbie for such a memorable experience you gave us on our wedding day.
PS. Debbie got us a shout-out on the radio, the most thoughtful and exciting gift. She went above and beyond where she could.”
Preda and KImberly
“Debbie was our celebrant for our wedding and was absolutely fantastic! Our ceremony was the most beautiful one we could have hoped for and the guests had the highest impression of Debbie and the ceremony that she performed for us. She certainly has a passion for making a wedding couples' ceremony romantic and funny. Her talent in developing a ceremony that is tailored to a couple really shone through during our wedding. Debbie has a very bubbly and positive personality, which is infectious and perfect as a wedding celebrant.
She held frequent calls with us as a couple, well in advance of our wedding, to learn more about us and to develop a script that we loved. Debbie will not stop until she is completely satisfied that she has created the most wonderful magic and romance!
Debbie is a very caring person and goes above and beyond. She visited our wedding venue herself to get familiarity with it. Debbie also held a rehearsal session for us at the venue beforehand to make sure that everything for our ceremony was in place and that everyone was familiar with the flow of the ceremony.
Debbie also ensured with our wedding venue that my mother – who was unable to attend in person – was able to view the ceremony digitally via a video stream, for which we are very grateful.
We could not have been happier that Debbie celebrated our wedding.”
