Looking for celebrants was a daunting task, and we were so glad to have come across Jonelle. She made our ceremony so unique and personal to our relationship, and made the planning process in general a smooth experience. Our guests are still complimenting us on how fun our ceremony was, and our day wouldn't have been nearly as special without Jonelle's way with words. Thank you Jonelle!

Where to even begin. Our journey was a long and treacherous one, battling through COVID19 with several postponements and after 2 years, Jonelle stuck by our side and through several meetings rehashing over details and subtle changes we grew to know each other quite well and that is the level of detail you get from Jonelle. She isn't just your Marriage Celebrant, Jonelle became a friend and a vital part of our wedding with the personal touches she added having the guests in hysterics one second and wiping their eyes the next it felt like Jonelle was just another one of our cherished guests giving their heartfelt support. I honestly couldn't have imagined the day would go so smoothly, spite Jonelle being just as nervous as us due to this day seeming to always be forever away but hastily is now at our doorstep, Jonelle is AMAZING!!

Jonelle was wonderful at our wedding in April. I was very nervous and had a bit of a panic attack in the car about walking & speaking in front of over 100 people and Jonelle was very comforting and supportive. She made the whole ceremony beautiful, funny, heartfelt and unique. I had to postpone my wedding three times over two years due to restrictions and she was professional and helpful every step along the way. I have already recommended her to family members & friends who are talking about their own weddings. Thank you Jonelle again for everything and I hope to see you at more weddings if all my engaged family & friends listen to my good advice.
