Sunshine Coast Celebrant Philippa Holness

We are so very pleased that we found Philippa through her other glowing reviews and feedback on various sites and wedding forums. She absolutely lived up to and exceeded all our expectations. We really appreciated Philippa’s genuine caring and nurturing guidance throughout the whole process. From our very first contact, she was always extremely professional, calming and had great ideas and suggestions. Philippa always responds in a very timely fashion, making you feel valued and that your ceremony is a priority to her. Philippa is extremely thorough, detail focussed and guided us through the whole process step by step. She kept us calm, despite the tears, and spoke inspiring words that we will always remember. Philippa makes you feel valued and not just a ‘client’ but more like new friends. We would absolutely recommend Philippa as a marriage celebrant to anyone who wants a charming and memorable ceremony.

Just Book with Philippa!! I instantly got confirmation from Philippa, all the info via text and email. If I had any questions she was so easy to communicate with. Week before the big day, we met her and my instinct was right. She is warm, calm and very easy to talk to and organise things with. The type of service we chose for our ceremony we had so many guests (the picky ones) say how perfect/time/style and emotional the ceremony was. This was because of how Philippa lays it all out but still gives you the option to personalise bits throughout. I can not thank her enough for everything she did for us !

Working with Philippa was a dream. Not only was she an incredible celebrant, but she also did all the heavy lifting when it came to completing the legal documentation. She is such a beautiful human who took the time to really get to know my husband and I to ensure she was able to capture the essence of our relationship on our special day. And she did so with great success! Philippa went above and beyond for us and we are so glad to have been able to share our day with her. If you are looking for an amazing celebrant for your wedding, I can not recommend philippa enough!

Words can’t even describe how lovely Philippa is, her bubbly bright personality is what made her our perfect celebrant. Philippa wrote a beautiful story all about us which she kept as a surprise for our day. It had us and our guests giggling, smiling until our face hurt and with tears of joy and love. Philippa was beyond wonderful. Could not recommend her enough

Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special ❤️❤️❤️ Your ceremony was everything we dreamed it to be, and so much more magical. Our favourite part was your story. We absolutely loved your surprise story about the two of us, and how our love story all started. There was so much of your own love, joy and happiness that went into every moment and verse, and that’s what made our ceremony so special for us and our families. We could have chosen any wedding celebrant, but we chose you Philippa, because you are such a beautiful person with a big heart, and we knew our day would be so magical with you as our beautiful celebrant. You even matched your outfit to our colours! What a beautiful, personal touch! ❤️😍

Heidi and I used Philippa as our marriage celebrant and were very happy with our experience. She is very attentive and articulate with a warm friendly demeanour. She is extremely organised and responsive to any contact and questions we had. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your special day. Richard and Heidi Sheehy

Philippa is Amazing 💗 With commitment she listened, guided, advised, support, reassured us throughout our wedding preparations. Thanks to her kindness, communicative cheerfulness, our shared laughter, we had a dream wedding ceremony. ✨ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️ Jen and Joel

Philippa was amazing from first contact. She helped arrange everything we needed and even gave recommendations for other services we needed. Every email was answered quickly, even on weekends and Philippa always made us feel like we were her only clients. As we live in Brisbane Philippa met us at our Air BnB before the ceremony so that our young son could meet her before the ceremony. We had rain, an overly tired baby and wind, yet Philippa still made our day feel so special and even stuck around after to share in out baby reveal for number 2. Thanks so much for helping make our special day even more special. Nicole, Andrew and Jack

Philippa conducted our ceremony for us this Saturday 5th of June. From our very first phone call she made me feel at ease with the whole ceremony and was there for us through each step. The surprise wedding went down without a hitch and the way Philippa presented our ceremony and reading was beautiful! It’s a day we will never forget, we cannot thank you enough!

Philippa, you were the absolute best! I am so glad I stumbled across you and hired you to be our celebrant! you were so warm and welcoming! On my wedding day, 1 hour before I was due to walk down the aisle on the beach. A huge crowd of protesters showed up, Philippa handled this outstandingly! 10 minutes before I walked down the aisle the crowd of hundreds exited the beach. some protesters were quite rude but Philippa remained professional and calm! Philippa was so much fun, she really made our day go as smoothly and calmly as we had hoped. She moved through the ceremony so gracefully. I only wish I could replay this day 1 million times over to work along side Philippa all over again! I highly recommend. Thank you so much for making our day so perfect.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Philippa as our celebrant and would recommend her to everyone! Of all the wedding vendors we worked with, Philippa’s communication was outstanding, always replying promptly and very helpful. Our ceremony was so special, and we received so many compliments from our guests about our celebrant, even commenting that Philippa spoke as if she knew Tom and I personally, even though we had only met in person twice! Philippa handled all the paperwork side effortlessly, and prepared a ceremony which was perfect for us as a couple. Philippa was happy to adapt the ceremony as we wanted, including a witness lottery and gave plenty of vow examples for us to prepare a version that suited us. Thank you Philippa. We can’t wait to watch our ceremony again and again when we get the video back from our videographer!

Philippa is an exceptional celebrant! She is soft and calm, resourceful and highly professional! She worked closely with me in the months leading up to the wedding and put my mind at ease time and time again. On top of this she knows Noosa like the back of her hand and this was something I just couldn't look past when I found her. In the lead up and at the actual ceremony she was so endearing to not only my husband and I but to all of pur guests who adored her to say the least. Pleease please please do yourself a favor and take Philippa as your celebrant. I cannot fault her. Thank you for for a splendid experience Philippa Holness, thank you for helping delver our unforgettable memories! XXXXXXX

Philippa has a gentle kind nature that set a wonderful tone for the ceremony. She has a warmth that makes everyone feel at ease. She helped behind the scenes and made everything very special and easy.

Philippa was absolutely amazing in every way from day one. She understood the importance to us of keeping everything casual but still intimate and romantic while adding a comedic twist! Philippa has a beautiful soft presence that makes you feel calm about the entire process. We absolutely loved working with Philippa and will miss chatting to her regularly

Philippa was such a lovely celebrant who spent so much time with us, getting to know us and shaping our wedding ceremony to match our values. The guest commented on how lovely she spoke:). She was also really helpful for me with wedding prep, recommending other suppliers who were also amazing.
