Eliza is a warm and easy character, an expert wordsmith and a gentle but inspiring leader of an event. She took the time to get to know us and helped to turn our basic ideas into a highly personalised wedding ceremony that met our very specific needs. We both lost our spouses to cancer in recent past and wanted to include planting trees for them and incorporating their ashes into the proceedings. Some people we talked to balked at the idea but Eliza helped us to do it in a quiet and sensitive way on the day before lifting the tempo and moving on to this, the next joyous stage of our lives. People cried, they laughed and we all rejoiced in the finding of new, lasting love and life. Eliza patiently tolerated the tweaks we made to draft words she expertly wrote and supported the significant amount of participation we wanted from family and friends. We had a hand fasting with 11 vows we wrote, a reading about the legend of the phoenix written by my son and a poem I wrote read by my daughter. She crafted the ceremony around exactly what we wanted and gave sound advice about how things could best be made to work. It was superb. So many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you forever Eliza! xx
