ASTRID + CALEB

As soon as we met Sue we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Sue was so warm and friendly and listened to what we wanted for our ceremony. Because of Sue's organisation, creativity and care, our ceremony was perfect. We have had many comments on what a wonderful celebrant Sue is and her lovely and kind nature. Sue was also wonderful at calming our nerves on the day. We couldn't recommend Sue enough.

STEF + ALASTAIR

Sue was incredible from the very first moment we reached out to her to be our celebrant. She was warm, professional and natural. Sue ensured the ceremony was tailored to fit our personalities and our love story perfectly. Sue made the whole process seamless, her guidance and expertise was really appreciated - especially from Alastair, with whom Sue happily chatted back and forth, through many different versions of our surprise vows to each other until they were perfect.
Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. We cannot thank Sue enough for supporting us, creating a ceremony that exceeded our expectations and ended up being our favourite part of the day.

TEAGHAN + LACHLAN

My husband and I initially came across Sue when we went to a good friend’s wedding. We loved the way she presented their ceremony and decided she was the person we wanted for ours.

When we met Sue she was organised, informative, easy going, friendly and humorous. She was exactly the person we were looking for. Every meeting with Sue was easy, she guided us every step of the way and ensured that she communicated with us around what we needed to do on our end, including a timeline and checklist which we appreciated immensely given how busy wedding planning can be.

On our wedding day it rained and Sue was quick to help us organise our plan B so that we were able to get married under cover at our wedding venue. It was an emotional day and Sue was incredibly supportive. Her portrayal of our love story was amazing, lots of laughs, tears and smiles. She supported us both through our vows and made us both feel at ease.

I cannot recommend Sue enough. She is a wonderful person who is excellent at what she does. You are in very safe hands with Sue!

ASHLEIGH + MICHAEL

Sue is such a warm and caring person who made us feel comfortable to share our love story instantaneously. She was meticulous and organised in the planning stages, despite COVID-19 impacting our first wedding date. We trusted her completely to plan our ceremony and she executed this perfectly, being flexible and mindful of our values along the way! Sue kept in contact throughout our wedding planning journey and even provided some tissues to my husband on the day! Many of our guests commented that Sue must have been a family friend or someone very close to us as she knew so much about us and our quirks as a couple. We would 100% recommend Sue to anyone looking for a kind and gentle soul to deliver your ceremony just the way you’d like it!

SOPHIE + BEN

Sue was absolutely amazing. As soon as we found Sue we knew she was the one to marry us. Sue is very professional and is very kind-hearted and loving. Her sense of humor is great, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Sue also made sure I was OK before I walked down the aisle and gave me a cuddle. It honestly made me feel calm and reassured me that everything would be OK and I would have nothing to worry about. Thanks again so much Sue, we absolutely loved having you a part of our wedding.

BILLIE + KAREN

Sue is simply fantastic! Our ceremony had many twists and turns and we had to postpone our first ceremony in March 2020 due to Covid restrictions. Sue rode all of the bumps with us (she even shed a tear with us when our first ceremony had to be cancelled 5 days prior).
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and professional celebrant in Sue. She was so helpful with preparing our ceremony and getting the right ‘feel’ to make sure that our ceremony suited our personalities. Her knowledge and resources were invaluable and she is just a beautiful person!

STEPH + MATT

Sue was wonderful in the lead up to our wedding. We moved interstate shortly before the big day and had to organise everything from afar, but Sue made what could have been a very stressful time easy and straightfoward and she was very patient with us! On the wedding day she was fun, professional and warm and we loved the way she conducted the ceremony and told our story. It was a joy to work with Sue.

KAMILLE + NATHAN

KELLIE + LACHIE

Sue made our day so special from the first meeting to our intimate elopement with our closest friends and family. It was a pleasure getting to know Sue, and she put so much time and energy into creating the perfect ceremony for us. She wrote a love story about us, that was a surprise for the day, and couldn't have done better! She also incorporated our small number of guests into the ceremony to make it even more intimate for ourselves and our guests. She helped us to write our own vows and we felt so comfortable reading these to each other, having Sue there. The ceremony ran smoothly and will be cherished forever. Thanks again Sue xx

Sue, we couldn’t begin to thank-you enough for making our special day so easy. From our very first meeting to our wedding day we knew we had picked the perfect Celebrant. We placed our ceremony in your hands and you did the most amazing job in creating it to be perfect. Our day was everything we wanted it to be and more and having a celebrant like you made our day flow, feel relaxed and we couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces! You told us what we needed to do by when and you did the rest, allowing our day to be as stress-free as possible. Our ceremony was everything we could have wanted and we couldn’t recommend you more. Thank-you Sue, from the bottom of our hearts xx

SOPHIE + TOM

Hi Sue. Thankyou for everything you did in the lead up and on the day to make our wedding day fantastic! It was so lovely and reassuring to see your face and have a quick chat once I arrived at the venue and Tom said the same thing - he felt calm with you by his side!

We had a lot of comments on how personal and meaningful the ceremony was and we thank you for that. The time you spent getting to know us individually and as a couple really showed in the love story you put together.

We are so thankful that you were our celebrant and will be recommending you to everyone we know!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

ALICIA + DANIEL

My partner Daniel and I were recently married by Sue and I couldn't recommend her highly enough for anyone searching for a celebrant to officiate their own wedding. Right from day one of speaking with Sue, she was so warm and friendly and always had a sense of calm about her, which was extremely reassuring on our big day. Sue went above and beyond to ensure our ceremony was nothing but perfect.
Thank you so much again, Sue, for everything leading up to our wedding and on our special day.

Sue is an absolutely wonderful celebrant who genuinely cares for her clients. She has a way of making you feel like you’ve known her for years, even though you may only meet a few times. She helped us put our ideas into words and to craft our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. Thank you, Sue.

ALYSSIA + KEIR

We couldn't recommend Sue more highly. She has a wonderfully warm and engaging personality and will work to ensure that your special day reflects your own personality, style and preferences. Thanks to Sue's experience she makes the process so easy, providing guidance and advice at each step of the way. Thanks Sue!

SARAH + JOEL

If you're looking for a celebrant who writes with warmth, passion, romance and humour, then Sue is the one for you.
Sue was so helpful throughout the process, from regularly staying in touch to checking in right before the wedding and offering any help she could in the lead up.
We can't thank Sue enough for her contribution to our wedding; we adored her and her work greatly.

THERESA + JAMES

We could not have been happier with how our wedding went. We would like to thank Sue for being our celebrant and making this all a reality. We are so happy with how personalized, engaging, fun and truly authentic our ceremony went. It was exactly how we imagined it. Sue, your words were beautiful and you captured our story so well. You supported us throughout the entire journey. Thank you for taking care of all the paper work and making our wedding day stress free and unforgettable. Your experience and professionalism shone through with the warmth, enthusiasm and creativity you invested in our ceremony! Thank you again for everything!

STEPHANIE + MICHAEL

If I could give Sue more than 5 stars I would! Our wedding would not have been the absolute success it was without her.
I had absolutely nooo idea what to expect when planning a wedding and was incredibly anxious about it but Sue was there with us every step of the way guiding us to the perfect ceremony for us.
My wedding was very quirky and non-traditional and Sue was totally down for getting involved with our silly ideas as well as providing some of her own.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would get married again just to let Sue officiate.

SAMANTHA + MARCUS

After multiple recommendations from other friends, choosing Sue to be our celebrant was a no brainer.
Sue made the experience very relaxing for 2 VERY nervous people. The story she told of our relationship was just perfect and had people laughing and crying.
Everyone has said the ceremony was a true testament to our relationship and we truly have Sue to thank for that!!
I will always recommend Sue on to others looking for a celebrant as every part of the process was so simple and easy.
Thank you so much Sue!!

SALLY + THOMAS

Sue was terrific! Throughout the whole process from planning to the ceremony taking place she ensured that my partner and I were comfortable and happy with what was happening. Her communication was flawless, she was always willing to answer any questions we had and was prompt in responding to anything we had to say/ask. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, friendly and caring celebrant to be a part of our special day! Thank you Sue!

ABBY + DYLAN

We hired Sue as our celebrant for our wedding in April 2021 in Moama, New South Wales. We cannot recommend her enough! Sue was fantastic from start to finish - very organised, very friendly and she made us feel at ease about the ceremony process. Sue wrote a beautiful love story about us which was read at the ceremony. There were some great laughs included and our guests loved it! Sue was an amazing support during the ceremony and made us feel at ease, even though we were nervous and at times teary. We had so many compliments about how natural and lovely the ceremony was. Thank you Sue!! Xx

MEAGAN + DAVID

Thank-you Sue for being our celebrant on the 5th August 2020. In such a difficult time you were such a pleasure to work with, preparing our wedding and then changing the date so that we could get married before lockdown. Our ceremony was perfect - the way you wrote our story was so 'us' and I loved every minute of our day. I wish I could do it again - maybe we will and be able to invite all our guests who only saw us on zoom this time. We will certainly invite you back for 'take 2' if we ever get out of this lockdown.
If anyone is looking for a celebrant, I highly recommend Sue - your day will be prefect and you will have fun planning it along the way.
Thanks again, Meagan and David xxx

Sue was amazing from the beginning. We got married in an intimate five person wedding on 05/05/2020. It was simple yet flowed elegantly and nicely. Sue was lovely to listen to so we loved how she delivered the ceremony. Sue was responsive to all our questions. She was very professional, organized and patient. So, thank you so much again Sue. We absolutely had the best day.

MEL & KANE

Sue made the whole process flow so easily as she is such a professional celebrant. She met us prior to the wedding and provided in-depth information about not only the legal process of getting married, but of course the proceedings on the day. She has so much experience and helped us plan everything. It was so amazing to have someone who thought of every detail, things that wouldn’t have crossed our minds. Sue communicated with us regularly and made sure that we were happy with our vows and whole ceremony script. She was more than happy to give feedback and advice to us as we wrote our own vows. Thanks again Sue for your amazing work and making our day such a special one to remember!!!

GENIE + JACE

From the minute we met Sue she made us feel so comfortable. We were both pretty nervous and always walked away from our sessions feeling more relaxed and excited about our wedding. Sue is such a warm person and really looks after you in the lead-up and on the big day.

With so much else to organise, it was a blessing to be able to rely on Sue to properly take care of the paperwork and official side of the day. Sue was so approachable and quick to get back to us to answer any questions we had.

On the day Sue was so professional, organised and caring. She made our guests and family feel welcomed and included. The words and ceremony that she put so much effort into, were just perfect.

Thanks Sue for all your help. We really enjoyed sharing this experience with you. You are such a lovely and caring person and it was an absolute delight.

CLAIRE + JAMES

Sue was amazing right from the get-go. She was calming and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We weren't after a traditional wedding and wanted to add our own spin to it. Sue not only was supportive of this, she helped us in many ways to ensure we had the ceremony that we wanted for the day. After the wedding we had so many guests come up to us and praise her work as well as tell us it had been one of the best ceremonies they had been a part of. We couldn't have done it without her, she was the glue that held our ceremony together and ensured that it all went smoothly. Would highly recommend Sue to anyone!
