What My Couples Are Saying...

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Dee for the past few years, so I had high expectations when I booked her for my own wedding. She truly exceeded them in every way. Dee was exceptional—her professionalism and ability to manage unforeseen hiccups ensured everything ran so smoothly. I can’t thank you enough, Dee. You were spectacular, and I’m grateful to have you as a memorable part of my special day. 😘😘

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending my cousins wedding where Deanna officiated over the ceremony. As a guest (and also one of the go to family members for the day) I felt that Deanna went above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for not only the Bride and Groom; but also their friends and family. Deanna was kind, funny and above all else; is just a genuinely beautiful person who wants nothing but the best for her clients. It was such a delight to watch Deanna deliver the ceremony with such ease and professionalism. I would highly recommend Deanna to any future couples looking for a celebrant as she is just amazing at what she does. So thank you Deanna 🩷

Bianca Lee 16/09/2024

I cannot thank Deanna enough for the ceremony she curated for me! She was so helpful throughout the planning process & everything in the lead up to the big day was stress free. On the day she was beyond amazing. Her calm voice & friendly smile really made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you Deanna!

Bree Patmore 12/09/2024

Although Deanna came highly recommended, we couldn’t have imagined a better wedding celebrant. She is professional, calm, capable and fun. Deanna went above and beyond and was a big part of creating the day we’d hoped for. Thank you x

Deanna has got to be one to the most beautiful people my partner and I have had an honour to meet. The wonderful Deanna officiated our wedding last week and oh my god she made the day so so special and perfect! I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone who is after such a kind perfect soul to be apart of your special day.Thank you so so much Deanna for being the most amazing celebrant we could ever ask for. You exceeded all our expectations. ❤️❤️❤️

Deanna was absolutely lovely as our celebrant! She has such a calm, reassuring and warm demeanour that made for a beautiful ceremony!

Kate Brugman 22/07/2024

Deanna is a top class celebrant who we were lucky to have on our wedding day. She was considerate, kind and so extremely well organised that she put us at ease from the moment we made contact. Her knowledge of the administrative side is second to none, and I can say without a doubt that she made an already special day even better with her support and grace in helping us organise everything. What makes it even more special was that on the day she was as hyped as we were and helped add to the significance and joy of the happy occasion. She spoke to both of us pre-ceremony on the day to answer any and all last minute questions we had and she was extremely diligent in all communication after the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect in terms of what was said and her extensive experience shone through in spades. To Deanna directly - just want to reiterate how happy we were with our choice in you as a celebrant and you made an already special day that bit better! Thank you again so much and we are extremely grateful that we chose you for our wedding. All the best - Ryan & Megan !

Ryan Falls 15/07/2024

We had the absolute pleasure of having Deanna as our wedding celebrant, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment we met her, we were immediately drawn to her warm personality and lovely sense of humour. One of the things that impressed me most about Deanna was how easy she made everything.

She took the time to really listen and get to know what really mattered to us, ensuring that our ceremony felt personal and reflective of our love story.

Deanna is very professional, authentic and personable- she’ll make you feel comfortable and at ease with her beautiful nature, warm personality and wicked sense of humor.

When Deanna married both Tracey and I on Long Island resort nearly 13 years ago , we could not have asked for a more professional and well presented person to oversee our marriage vows We are both indebted to her as a person and a professional and would highly recommend her to any aspiring brides and grooms out there considering on taking their vows

Bill Gilmore 31/03/2023

I have worked with Deanna at our wedding venue since 2011 and her professionalism is faultless. Deanna’s ceremonies exude heart felt warmth and joy with happy tears and laughter often emanating from the gathering. Whilst also being impeccably presented, her calm and unflappable demeanour provides reassurance for even the most nervous of couples. One thing I have personally recognised, is Deanna’s friendly interaction which makes each guest feel as though they are very much part of the ceremony.

Tanya Watts 31/03/2023

Highly recommend Deanna as a celebrant.

Hedley Heale 30/03/2023

Deanna is such a beautiful, kind and well spoken celebrant and I felt very connected to our ceremony and remember it as such a beautiful part of our wedding day.
