We love hearing from our clients, and this thoughtful message from Victoria Salter, a bride we had the honour of working with, truly warms our hearts:

"There are not enough words to express the gratitude we have for Cherished Ceremonies and the ceremony they put together for us. Deirdre made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable throughout the process, understanding and adapting to our needs as we developed the ceremony together. We so appreciate that Deirdre was able to share our personal love story with our guests. We received so many compliments on the beauty of her words, which made it memorable and perfectly us! We will always recommend Cherished Ceremonies!"

Thank you, Victoria, for allowing us to be part of your special day. It's always a privilege to help create ceremonies that reflect the love and uniqueness of every couple we serve. 💕

🌟 Testimonial Spotlight: Leah Tigchelaar 🌟

"Deirdre was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our very first phone call, she had me in tears with her warmth and understanding. I knew we had found the perfect person to marry us! She sent us an incredible questionnaire to fill out individually, which allowed her to capture the most important and intimate moments of our relationship.

On the big day, she had everyone in the audience—even the event staff—in tears with her loving words that honored our love and journey. She guided a very productive rehearsal and gave us time individually to practice our vows. Deirdre even asked our son to read a love passage, which was so precious to us. All of our guests raved about our ceremony and how Deirdre perfectly shared our love story! We HIGHLY recommend Deirdre!"

Thank you, Leah, for your wonderful review! We are so happy to have been part of your special day. 💖
