Thank you Brenda for making our day so special
Brenda made our ceremony so personal and captured the essence of our Journey together. She created the best balance of lightheartedness and intimacy, including our children, family and friends. Brenda is absolutely phenomenal at what she does and tailored our ceremony to reflect both our personalities. Thank you for making our day so special,
We highly recommend Brenda as a Wedding Solemniser
We would highly recommend Brenda. She made our ceremony planning so easy. She brought lots of love, laughter, and reflection to our ceremony. Our guests are still raving about it. They said it was the nicest wedding ceremony they’ve been too. Thank you Brenda from the bottom of our hearts. James and Jessica O Reilly.
Brenda was an absolute joy to work with.
During our initial conversation she ran through the running order for the ceremony itself. This included ideas around readings, periods of reflection, places for musical interludes and specific ceremonies such as a sand ceremony, handfasting and ceremony of light. We were then sent material for readings and vows as well as a questionnaire to fill out which allowed Brenda to create a very personalized celebrant address for the day. Once we had made decisions on the various parts of the ceremony we were then sent a draft of the ceremony. There were no issues with making amendments to suit our needs and Brenda was very keen on including family and friends during the ceremony itself. On the day of the wedding Brenda arrived 2 hours beforehand to set things up and to ensure things were perfect. All of our guests commented on how lovely and personal Brenda made the ceremony. We would have no hesitation in recommending Brenda to any couple looking for a wedding celebrant. She really helped in making our day very special and made it completely stress free for us.
