Right from the start, Maxine’s professionalism and commitment shone through. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, making the ceremony feel incredibly personal and special. Her warm and caring personality instantly put us at ease, making the entire planning process a joy.

On our wedding day, Maxine conducted the ceremony perfectly. Her delivery was heartfelt and struck the perfect balance between sentimentality and humor, which our guests loved. We received numerous compliments about how beautiful and touching the ceremony was.

SUCH A WONDERFUL CELEBRANT

We also wanted to say a huge thank you for being such a wonderful celebrant. You exuded warmth from our first meeting, and it really came across in the ceremony. 

We appreciated your co-ordinating meetings that fitted our global time difference, and for the ‘walk through’ that we did in person a couple of days before the day itself. You very much calmed all nerves in that meeting!

Your ideas and advice on how to make the ceremony meaningful and incorporate our various heritages were super helpful. The extra support on sourcing such beautiful handfasting cords for us was very much appreciated. It’s lovely how personalised your ceremony writing is – the way you built a story about our relationship made us realize how by chance we came to be together and how amazing and romantic that actually is – something a lot of couples take for granted I think.

FANTASTIC ALL ROUND

Maxine is a fantastic celebrant, we received so much praise on our ceremony for its uniqueness and the way she mingled with everybody so easily. She also helped us organise the timings and people extremely well and always went to great lengths to ensure everything was in place to go smoothly even when we had to make last minute changes, it would have been absolute chaos without her!

SHE MADE OUR CEREMONY MAGICAL

We used Maxine as our celebrant on the 6th May 2023. We wanted a non religious ceremony that was centered about us as a couple and Maxine delivered. We didn’t know where to start and Maxine was great in giving us options and guiding us through the process. We ended up with a handfasting ceremony and it was wonderful. Everyone commented how they didn’t know that is where the saying ‘tied the knot’ came from. Maxine communicated our love story in such a humorous yet beautiful way that everyone was laughing one minute and tearing up the next.

She made our ceremony unforgettable and truly magical.

THE COMPLETE PACKAGE

We could not be happier with the amazing ceremony that Maxine put together for us.

Nothing was too much trouble, every little detail was thought of and our ideas and feelings were at the forefront of her organisation and planning. From the compass points, to the hand-fasting, and our vows and the readings, it was all just perfect on our special day. Maxine took us from the first ideas at the very start of our journey, right through to us being man and wife without missing an iota of our wishes and wants.

We could not recommend her more highly, and loved her being part of our big day.

A VERY SATISFIED COUPLE. THANK YOU MAXINE

On first meeting Maxine in person, we knew that she would be a great fit for our relaxed wedding in a beautiful country barn.

Maxine was accommodating in arranging in-person meetings around our work schedule, patiently kept us on track when we let deadlines slip in the stress of wider wedding planning, and provided reassurance in the run-up to the wedding itself. We really appreciated all of Maxine’s ideas and her response to our feedback, ensuring that the wedding ceremony was personalised around us. Maxine’s warmth meant that she not only put our guests at ease as they were seated (on the hottest day of the year!), but also in putting a nervous bride and groom at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and memorable outdoor wedding ceremony.

A TRULY AMAZING JOB

We’ve now arrived back in Australia and have had time to fully absorb our Wedding Day and the truly amazing job you did for our ceremony.

Thank you for your composure, and your articulate and relaxed style. You were truly the perfect person to settle the nerves and bring together all the special moments of the ceremony.

We can’t tell you how many comments we’ve had from our family and friends saying how much they enjoyed such a authentic and memorable ceremony. You really listened to what we wanted and we couldn’t be happier with how it all went.

Please feel free to take any of the above as a testimonial for your website.

Again, thank you so much!

WE COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR ANYONE BETTER TO BE OUR CELEBRANT AND TO HELP US START THE NEXT CHAPTER OF OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER.

Maxine was an absolute hero to us. We got married in July 2022 and from the moment I first spoke to Maxine right up to after our ceremony, everything was perfect.

She is a truly lovely person who really cared about our story, our vision for our ceremony and went above a beyond to help us achieve our dream. Maxine is like a wedding planner with the help she gives and really did help us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be our celebrant and to help us start the next chapter of our journey together.

Thank you Maxine

RENEWAL OF VOWS | 05/31/2022 | DEVIZES

Maxine recently conducted our vow renewal ceremony, and it was such an incredible day. Before the event Maxine helped us with arrangements, made suggestions on little extra details that made the celebration more memorable, and was always on hand for advice or help. Her personality and presentation was absolutely spot on for our informal, fun celebration of love, and she held the crowds attention so well. We couldn’t have done it without you Maxine, thank you so much for helping us have the celebration we had hoped for! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone requiring a thoughtful, warm, and lovely celebrant for their event.

FINDING MAXINE WAS THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED FOR OUR DAY

Maxine conducted our Wedding Ceremony in May 2022, and finding her was the best thing that could have happened for our day. Maxine was brilliant at taking our ramblings and forming a beautiful story of us while helping us choose different aspects of the ceremony which reflected our relationship and family. As a result, our day was incredibly personal and we will have those memories forever.

Really great service. We booked Maxine very close to our ceremony date, and she managed to get everything up together in 4 weeks! Our guests loved the stories and the manner of the ceremony, as it was fully custom. We felt part of the process from start to finish, perfect.
