Maria was our celebrant and MC for our wedding. From the first meeting to the last minute on the night Maria was wonderfully organised, professional and so welcoming in her approach to everything. She covered all steps in the marriage process and really listened to our stories and what was important to us. During the wedding she beautifully spoke about some cultural customs and got the party started on the dance floor. She was such an integral part of our special day and couldn't of asked for any more. Thank you so much Yoshi and Kaitlyn

Honestly cannot recommend Maria enough! From the start she was so helpful in guiding us through all the legal paperwork and helping us in planning our wedding She was so kind, friendly and so easy to work with! She took the time to listen to our stories, answer our questions and helped us create our dream ceremony! On the day she came and checked in with each of us, helped settle our nerves and checked in with the bridal party and family members doing readings. The ceremony was so beautiful and everything we could have wanted! Cannot recommend Maria highly enough 😍

Maria was our celebrant for our wedding recently and I am so grateful that she was. Initially I spoke to Maria over the phone, she was warm and friendly and really down to earth. Maria attended our home after our initial phone contact and provided us all of the information that we needed and listened to our story, and our preferences for our ceremony. Maria also offered us advice and assistance as needed, including with our wedding vowels. Maria is a beautiful person, calm and friendly. She will put any concerns you have at ease and is pleasant to deal with, approachable and readily available. Her celebrant fee is also very competitive. Highly recommend. Thank you Maria for being part of our special day.

Maria was incredible. The support provided was amazing and the development and delivery of the service held true to us as a a couple. No question was too big or small and no edit was too much. Maria made the process of finding the right readings simple by finding so many that matched us. Even the provided Vows felt like our own Would 100% recommend Maria to anyone.

From the moment we met, we grew to adore Maria’s warm and gentle nature. We felt comfortable in her presence and knew immediately we were in capable hands. Throughout our planning, she was always professional and patient. She was able to accommodate our special requests which helped made our ceremony meaningful and special. Our civil ceremony was beautiful Yu and intimate and we have Maria to thank for that. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again Maria from the bottom of our hearts. Adrian and Trinh
