"Jean conducted such a wonderful ceremony, is was truly amazing and really personal. It felt like she had known us for years and really was able to pick up and share all the things that were special to us. We have had so many comments from friends and family about the ceremony and just how amazing they thought it was. I am astounded how someone can capture the essence of our relationship and use it to make our wedding day truly unforgettable"

An English/South African couple. "Everyone commented on how beautiful everything was and quite a few people came to me and said it was the best ever wedding ceremony they had been to (one of the girls who said this is a serial wedding goer - I think she had about 7 this summer before us!!). It was a beautiful day and your words were very moving and perfect for us - your little book was a most unexpected little treat and something we will keep as a happy reminder"

"We just wanted to drop you a mail to say a big thank you. It’s back to the grindstone once again. But we had a wonderful day and holiday after. Thank you so much for making the ceremony so special for us. Your warmth and character made us feel so comfortable and everyone said afterwards what a wonderful ceremony it was"
"Jean, thank you so much for the wonderful job you made of our wedding ceremony. The words you spoke meant a great deal to Claire and me, but I was astounded by the number of people who commented upon how lovely they thought what you said was. There were some really nice, and some unexpected, touches and it made for a very very special day."

All our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was and they shed a tear or two also. Jean was extremely helpful and informed us of the useful information on their website too. We were so pleased with Jean and could not have asked for a better celebrant. Thanks so much, Jean!"
"From the moment we were in touch with Jean...until the wedding day itself.. her guidance, reassurance and recommendations were so helplful and worthwhile. Whilst we had not overlooked the ceremony itself and its importance, it was easy to focus on other parts of the day, in the months running up to the big day. However, after meeting with Jean face to face a few months before our wedding, and reading the ceremony script she proposed to us, I then really began to truly think about the ceremony and what it meant to both myself and Mike. I was moved to tears by Jean's lovely heartfelt words, and how personal she had made it. Many of our guests commented on what a lovely ceremony it was, and how they had never been to one like it".
"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing and special part in our wedding celebration. It truly was the best day of our lives, and we were so impressed with all the hard work and effort you dedicated to making it so wonderful for ourselves and our guests! Everyone has said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and that wouldn’t have happened without you."
"Jean, thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special with your caring touch. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. We will always have fond memories of our ceremony in which you so beautifully captured our personalities, hopes, and dreams."
"Just a short note to say a massive thank you for our wonderful wedding ceremony on Sunday. It was so beautiful and personal - a memory that will live with us both forever. All of our guests, many of whom would never have been to a non-church wedding before, remarked how special they found it, and if they had their time again, would all consider such a ceremony - you may be busy in years to come!!"
"The ceremony really was everything we had hoped it would be, you captured the moment, and us, perfectly.. Everyone told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and in fact my friend is now having a humanist ceremony for her wedding next year as she so enjoyed ours!"
" Thank you for making the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. The ceremony was so meaningful and personal to us. Our guests said that is was so touching to be part of such an intimate occasion. The wording of the ceremony was moving and will say with us forever ."
