One of my most memorable weddings was at 8am in the morning in the city - picture this ..... the sun was just low in the sky over a glass sheet of water in the bay, the trams were just starting so the 'sounds' of Melbourne were waking up..... the birds were still singing their trills before the busy morning began...and everyone arrived elegantly dressed for a breakfast feast ...sitting at freshly placed, white tablecloths as the sun glinted in every piece of cutlery neatly laid out !!!! Call me ........ I can inspire your imagination ...... and it won't cost you as much ...! Simple  !!!!

If I could give 100 stars to Wendy, I would. From the very beginning she has made us feel welcome and at ease, and we ended up booking her right after our first meeting. She is so knowledgeable about the process and gave us important tips during the wedding rehearsal that we haven’t even thought about. Most importantly, she told our love story with so much warmth and love. Highly recommend Wendy to anyone getting married in Victoria.

Dear Wendy, Just a quick note to say thank you so very much for officiating so perfectly at our wedding in December. Watching the video of the ceremony was incredible — it couldn't have been more beautiful, more relaxed, or more light-hearted. It was exactly as we had hoped and dreamed it would be. We so appreciated the time and care you took to craft such a personal and intimate event. You have a wonderful gift for putting everyone at ease, and the way you guided our grandchildren through their wedding duties with such warmth and patience made the day even more special. Everyone commented on what a wonderful celebrant you were, and how the ceremony perfectly reflected who we are as a couple. We had a wedding full of joy, laughter, and happiness — and you were a huge part of making that happen. We would recommend you to anyone, without hesitation. With sincere gratitude, Victoria & Stephen

Wendy was absolutely incredible. From all the pre-big day meetings in her beautiful home to the actual ceremony, everything went seamlessly. She incorporated our characters and delivered exactly what we had asked for, and privided tons of recommendations, inspiration and ideas. Wendy is warm and also very funny, having our guests in stitches which is exactly what we wanted. So many guests commented on how amazing the ceremony was and on how well Wendy delivered it. Her servicescare also very reasonably priced. We can recommend her to anyone who wants something that us uniquely theirs, as we did.

Wendy was very friendly and warm. She was attentive and made us feel like she was the right person for us. Everything was explained to us very clearly, we felt comfortable and were able to ask many questions. We felt that she was organised, professional and very intelligent. We liked how she was easy going yet focused on ensuring our love story and ceremony was shared as we wanted it to be. We thank Wendy for being part of our special day and for making our ceremony so wonderful!
