Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my clients’ ceremony come to life. Here’s what they have to say about their experience working with me.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Maree as our celebrant, and she was incredible from start to finish. Her communication leading up to the wedding was clear, organised, and genuinely caring — she made everything feel easy and stress‑free. On the day, she brought such a warm, calm presence and delivered our ceremony beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Thank you, Maree, for helping make our day so special.
Jessica and Glen
We were so lucky to have Maree as our celebrant for our wedding in Matarangi. She was so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and she made sure our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it. The ceremony itself was absolutely perfect. Thank for you taking great care of us on our special day, we are so grateful for your guidance and support.
Dan and Mel
We wanted to say thank you for the truly wonderful ceremony – it was a fantastic! We’re also so grateful that the weather cleared up just in time for our celebration.
Renne and Robert
We were so lucky to have Maree as our celebrant. We could not be any more thankful for the kind words and effort she put into making the ceremony so special, that our family and friends are still talking about it. The ceremony itself was just perfect and exactly how we wanted it. It was totally tailored to us which showed how much effort Maree put into getting to know us and understanding us as both individuals and a couple. Having such a lovely person, who really got to know us, standing up there with us completely put us at ease.
She also went above and beyond for us throughout our engagement and we will be forever grateful. She not only helped guide us through the process but also helped with the whole day itself, from helpful advice to vendor recommendations.
We can’t thank you enough for helping make our day perfect.
Georgia and Sam
We feel it was fate that brought Maree and us together.
When searching for a celebrant on the other side of the world you would never expect to find what we found. A complete stranger who just gets you, understands what you want, that is so helpful along the way and becomes a friend in the end.
We were unbelievably happy with our wedding day which had a whole lot to do with Maree. It felt like we had known us for a long time and she just found all the right words to say about and to us. It was magical. Thank you!
Peter and Julia
Maree truly made our wedding day special and seamless. From the first time we meet I knew Maree was going to be perfect for us as our marriage celebrant. Within a couple of emails she had absolutely captured how we wanted our ceremony to be.
And on the busy crazy day right before the ceremony when Maree popped into see me her friendly smile made me feel at ease and calmed my nerves.
Thank you for making our special day perfect.
Kirsty and Darren
Just a quick note to thank you for helping us achieve the wedding ceremony we had hoped for. The time you spent putting our ceremony together and the consideration you gave to our ideas and wishes was very much appreciated and made it what we wanted – a reflection of us.
Your professional approach and attention to detail and the big picture ( which included ensuring that your outfit for the day would coordinate with the bride and bridal party’s) was much appreciated.
Thank you!
It was a pleasure to have you as our marriage celebrant and we would have no hesitation recommending you to others.
Thanks again,
Amy and Nick
Maree exceeded well beyond our expectations as a celebrant.
Neither of us had a clue as to what goes on in terms of the actual ceremony for a wedding. She not only clarified and explained it extremely well to us, she also had such ease about the event making both of us really excited rather than anxious.
She also captured the true sprit of Josh and I. Her ceremony was relaxed and though both of us are neither religious, our parents are; Josh’s are Christian and my parents are Jewish—
In her ceremony, she truly celebrated both of our families without leaving either side out but also told our story so eloquently in such a relaxed yet truthful way.
I recommend her to every bride and groom in the area if they want someone who is extremely accommodating, thoughtful and has such a wonderful presence—
Another amazing moment to the best day of our lives—Thank you Maree!!!!
Josh & Arielle
Maree was absolutely fantastic on our special day.
Maree worked with us closely to design a ceremony that was amazing and exactly what we wanted we could not have asked for better.
I highly recommend Maree to anybody looking for a celebrant for their special day.
Claire & Josh
We were so lucky to have you be our celebrant, Maree. You fitted right in with everything! We are very grateful.
Alexia & Jack
We had heard so many good things about Maree that we literally chose our wedding date by seeing when she and the caterer were available- (have to have a good celebrant and good food) and she exceeded expectations- prior to our wedding day she made herself available to meet up and discuss what we were after, she visited our wedding venue, prompted us to when we needed to order the license and our ceremony was so perfect! – She made us both feel totally relaxed and designed our ceremony to suit us – highly recommended!
Honestly Maree thank you so much ! We absolutely loved our day so thank you for being a part of it.
Zac and Nici
