Couples' reviews

Tim, how did we get so lucky to meet you? We initially met with Tim over zoom and this lasted nearly 2 hours! We had a great feeling about him from the beginning, so we met over a burger and he was all about getting to know us as individuals and us as a couple. For me, I have a traditional upbringing, and celebrants can be frowned upon as the alternative to a traditional priest. Tim completely flipped this stigma for all of my family- in fact, he was all they were talking about! He nailed our story as a couple, he helped us with our vows, speeches.. if you think it ends there, it doesn't- he brought in his bubble machine, he set up a zoom link for family overseas and was keeping them up to date with the day, he's also a dance teacher (so if you need pointers on your first dance, he does that too!) Tim also happened to be our MC, which is part of his wide range of services. Our structure, our day and night were all so perfect. We are honestly so lucky to have come across Tim! Best decision we made for our wedding, what a legend

We had a truly wonderful experience with Marnong Estate. We were linked in with Natasha Deuten as our wedding coordinator. Where do we even start with Natasha? Our initial zoom call lasted hours, she genuinely wanted to get to know both myself and Paul and really wanted to tie in all our wishes and how we envisioned our day. Unbelievably flexible, and put up with all my emails/ questions. Nothing was too annoying for her! She was completely understanding of all our needs, and the language barriers of some family members, and she had an appreciation of all our quirks. Even when we were plagued with decision-making, she was always there to help problem solve. Even on the day of the wedding when plans changed- she was right there to assist me. She even walked with me to the ceremony space and shielded me with an umbrella so no one would see my dress! Couldn't thank her enough if we tried, what a truly wonderful experience! All staff were incredibly accomodating, made everyone feel welcome- everything was truly seamless on the day. We cannot wait to go back and visit for dinner
