“Sandy was extremely professional and organised, making everything very simple. The ceremony went off without a hitch!
We were given creative freedom for the ceremony, but Sandy also provided so many tips and ideas, which was great.
All our guests have told us that our ceremony was one of the nicest they’ve seen and that was all thanks to you, Sandy!
The process from start to finish was amazing. You were able to expertly walk us through ceremony style, legalities and logistics, and were so organised and calm on the day. A few guests have specifically commented on how professional and amazing you were! Thank you!!”

"Sandra was absolutely fantastic. She was kind, eloquent, and genuine - absolutely the most important qualities in a celebrant. She was also very flexible - both in terms of last minute changes to venue and in the content of the ceremony! She was a true joy and we are thrilled that she was the one to marry us. I can definitely recommend her to anyone planning on marrying on the mid north coast.”

“To Sandy,
Thank-you so much for being a part of our special day. We are extremely glad we were told about you. From the very first meeting you were so lovely and personable we knew instantly we had made the right decision. You had or ceremony written up in record time I’m sure! And all the changes I made, you just did it and never hesitated once.
You made us and our bridal party feel very comfortable running through the ceremony and that stayed with us on the day.
The ceremony itself was all about us and whatever we wanted in it –was. You were beautifully spoken and presented. Everything ran so smooth and a big part of that was because of you.
Thank you so much again!

"Callum and I are over the moon with how our ceremony was delivered. Sandra was so helpful, understanding and professional. Callum and I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant!! From our first meeting with Sandra, she made the process so easy. The service before, after and during was excellent. Contacting Sandra was one of the best decisions we made!
Your calm nature kept us both so relaxed and you told our love story perfectly. Often wedding ceremonies are just seen as a formality before the party, but that's not the case with us. Honestly, looking back, the ceremony was one of my favourite parts of the day. It was so special and we loved every moment of it. We had lots of comments on how the beautiful the ceremony was and lots of tears too. Our guests and family are still commenting on what a fantastic job you did. So, thank you!!!"

Janelle and I could not speak highly enough of Sandy. In our opinion, we were in great hands; every thought and wish we had for the day were done. When Janelle had her stroke on the 28-7-17 (three months before our wedding), Sandy made it so much easier for us through the weeks of rehab. The correspondence and legal side of being married was made so easy in a very distressing time. Thank you so much Sandy. Love David and Janelle.

We changed some things for our ceremony a couple of weeks before our wedding. Sandy, you were so accommodating to our needs, made the changes without fuss and made it all happen. A true professional.
At the Surf Club the guests had the ability to hear every word said. The clarity for the people at the back was excellent.
You’re warm and considerate, so the ceremony was everything we wanted. It was perfect!
Sandy, we loved how you put us at ease. Neither of us felt nervous at all. Your ability to “go with the flow”, made the ceremony perfect for us. We know you put a lot of work and many hours into providing us with the perfect ceremony! Thank you so very much! What a gal!”

We worked well as a team. Sandy is the professional, so we went with what she recommended and loved the fact that her outfit matched our theme for our wedding - nothing looked out of place. The sound was just right. Everyone seemed to hear the ceremony and the music wasn't too loud.
I felt everything would be perfect (as it was). Sandy made me feel calm, which was great as it was one less stress to worry about. Even saying our vows, being a nervous public speaker, I had this ease and calm feeling having Sandy there, repeating after her. It felt like it was was just Jarred and myself.
Thank you Sandy for making our day as precious and beautiful as it was. We are both so happy we found you, as the type of beautiful person you are, suited both our personalities in uniting us as one.
Your manner, service and attention to detail was beyond what we expected and we cannot thank you enough. Jarred and I were thrilled with our wedding day as it was the best day of our lives. Thank you for being part of it and making it perfect for us."

She worked with us to create what we wanted and provided excellent guidance about the structure and timing of our ceremony.
Sandra put us at ease throughout every dealing with her.
Guests commented on the clear and well-spoken ceremony. They also commented on the beautiful way Sandra was dressed. She was immaculate in presentation.
The presentation of the ceremony and readings beautifully bound and the celebration gift pack has also provided us with a beautiful keep-sake, an unexpected, but beautiful touch to an already flawless ceremony."

Thank-you so much for being a part of our special day. We are extremely glad we were told about you. From the very first meeting you were so lovely and personable we knew instantly we had made the right decision. You had or ceremony written up in record time I’m sure! And all the changes I made, you just did it and never hesitated once.
You made us and our bridal party feel very comfortable running through the ceremony and that stayed with us on the day.
The ceremony itself was all about us and whatever we wanted in it –was. You were beautifully spoken and presented. Everything ran so smooth and a big part of that was because of you.

From our first meeting with Sandra, she made the process so easy. The service before, after and during was excellent. Contacting Sandra was one of the best decisions we made!
Your calm nature kept us both so relaxed and you told our love story perfectly. Often wedding ceremonies are just seen as a formality before the party, but that's not the case with us. Honestly, looking back, the ceremony was one of my favourite parts of the day. It was so special and we loved every moment of it. We had lots of comments on how the beautiful the ceremony was and lots of tears too. Our guests and family are still commenting on what a fantastic job you did. So, thank you!!!"

We worked well as a team. Sandy is the professional, so we went with what she recommended and loved the fact that her outfit matched our theme for our wedding - nothing looked out of place. The sound was just right. Everyone seemed to hear the ceremony and the music wasn't too loud.
I felt everything would be perfect (as it was). Sandy made me feel calm, which was great as it was one less stress to worry about. Even saying our vows, being a nervous public speaker, I had this ease and calm feeling having Sandy there, repeating after her. It felt like it was was just Jarred and myself.
Thank you Sandy for making our day as precious and beautiful as it was. We are both so happy we found you, as the type of beautiful person you are, suited both our personalities in uniting us as one.
Your manner, service and attention to detail was beyond what we expected and we cannot thank you enough. Jarred and I were thrilled with our wedding day as it was the best day of our lives. Thank you for being part of it and making it perfect for us."
