"We recently used Belle as our wedding celebrant at the end of October. When we were looking for celebrants, we were a bit overwhelmed because there are so many people to choose from, and working in an admin role, I couldn't face the thought of 'interviewing' 3 or 4 before we could choose someone. Luckily Belle was the first celebrant we spoke to and we didn't need to speak to anyone else. Before we had even hung up on the call we both knew that she was perfect, very natural with people, answered all of our questions and as two people with centre of attention anxiety, really helped to put our mind at ease. She explained all of our options, how we could do things, and was really informed about the whole process.
Fast forward to 3 months out, she was the one to contact us in relation to paperwork that needed completing, we met up for a face-to-face meeting to sign documents, and all the while it was just super easy, everything was explained really well, and took the stress away from having to think about another thing when it came to the wedding. Belle always replied or followed up on things outstanding really promptly and even this was helpful, because there was a lot going on in the leadup to the wedding day! She also asked for the runsheet for the day so she knew who the suppliers were and the timing of things.
On our wedding day, Belle couldn't have been more helpful. She came and found us in our room when we were running around trying to have photos before the ceremony so we could sign paperwork, and the ceremony went without a hitch. Even post-ceremony she was really helpful in rallying the family and friends towards photos so that we could get that segment finished as soon as possible, as she knew how important it was to us to start the reception and just be present with our guests who had travelled interstate and overseas to attend.
After the ceremony our guests were so complimentary of Belle's work, and they couldn't believe we didn't know Belle personally, she did such a great job personalising our ceremony that they thought we were friends! And the day after the wedding, as promptly as ever, we had an email guiding us on next steps, timing for being able to order a marraige certificate and other name change information.
We really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was a blessing and we feel so fortunate to have shared our special day with Belle!
Belle - you are amazing and we are so grateful for all your hardwork before, during and after our wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
