Oh my gosh! From the moment we met Marie, she has been an absolute goddess. We found Marie through a recommendation from reaching out to an interstate celebrant because she felt she’d be a good fit. Marie took the time to know the both of us over coffee, zoom, and drinks and really helped guide us through the process and supported us the whole way through. She made us feel so at ease on the day. And my gosh was our ceremony an absolute blast!!! It was important to us our guests felt included and that we had something that felt a little less traditional. She had our nearest and dearest and the both of us laughing, crying and ready to party! Our ceremony was absolute perfection, so bright and fun and our guests just couldn’t stop raving about how brilliant she was. We heard time and time again on the night that it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to!

Marie kept the party going and on track into the evening as our MC and it was just so flipping fun! She coordinated with our venue and vendors, and was just an absolute dream to have in our corner.

Our day was so incredibly perfect and it was largely thanks to Marie 💛💛💛 she made both our guests and ourselves so welcome, included and comfortable. For anyone who is looking for a ceremony that is out of the ordinary, fun, inclusive and engaging, Marie is ya gal!

“We had so many lovely comments post ceremony, including "I've never seen s celebrant with so much energy! She was amazing!" And praise for a beautiful Acknowledgement of Country. But the best review and came from my partner's 90 year old grandmother "well, I suppose my wedding was really a bit boring, wasn't it?"

“The way she told our story was fantastic, very cheeky, fun, emotional… You could feel she was as happy and emotional as we and our guests were. She even welcome my family in Spanish, and that made them feel very inclusive in the ceremony. Everybody was talking about her, and how amazing she was…and I don't blame them, she made our day so special. I wish everyone could have her at their wedding. ”

I could not recommend Marie highly enough. We wanted a celebrant that was fun, vibrant and full of joy - Marie fit that to a tee. She brought our ceremony alive with crowd participation, big laughs coupled with a few heart-warming, tear-jerking moments. She was easy going and very calming - just what we needed on the big day! Throughout the entire process she was very accessible and always willing to help with any part of our wedding. Bianca and I are so thankful for you Marie - cheers!! X

Marie was an amazing addition to our magical day. She coordinated our very unorganised family during the whole day so that things ran much smoother and we are so grateful for that! She was bubbly and bright and hyped up our day in the best way possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us! Love your pals Annie and Timmy xxxx

We were captivated by Marie's bubbly nature and flamboyant style from our initial meeting with her. We wanted someone who is able to be both the celebrant and MC at our wedding. Marie fulfilled that roles perfectly and more! As the celebrant, she provided us with a bespoke ceremony going the extra mile to research on some of our niche interests and incorporating them into her speech. As the MC, she ensured our reception schedule was on time and hyped up the atmosphere, instilling liveliness and joy to all the guests. We thank Marie for giving us the wedding we dreamt and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an experienced celebrant with a lot of flair.

Marie was everything and anything we wanted in a marriage celebrant. From catching up for brunch month before the ceremony to messaging me days and hours before the wedding to see how everything was going or if I needed anything - the attention to detail and care for her couples was magnificent.

She understood what we wanted - fun, bright and happy with just a sprinkle of seriousness to the day. Her level of enthusiasm was felt by all our guests when she MC’d for us as well. The day went off without a hitch.

If you want someone who genuinely cares and is just a all around amazing human being, this is the lady for you. Thank you, Marie! Marki and I love you as big as my butt because it’s bigger then our hearts ❤️‍🔥

Marie made our day memorable and hilarious. This lady was born to be a celebrant. From our first meeting up to and including our wedding Marie guided us effortlessly through everything we needed to know.

Marie is a very personable and professional person and a bit quirky which put all of our guests in a fantastic and fun mood. She had them all in stitches! Weddings are supposed to be a celebration and fun. Thank you so much for being our fabulous celebrant Marie. Wayne and I wish you the very best with your endeavours!

Marie is one of those people you meet and immediately want to have in your life. Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, part of it can be just trying to get your head above all the noise from what you "should" be doing to what works for you. Not only is Marie an incredibly professional, talented, creative and fun person she's a friend, a guide, a confidant and a solid grounding in reality, all with a barrel of laughs along the way. We don't think weddings are supposed to be a sombre experience wrapped in the expectations of others, and Marie is the person who gets that. She creates the most beautiful original ceremonies, all based on getting to know you first. We had the wedding that dreams are made of, bright, colourful and full of love, the way it's supposed to be. Marie made that happen. She was our celebrant bringing all the love and warmth to the room and our MC keeping the crowd engaged and entertained, and we honestly can't imagine anyone else doing this for us. She's brilliant, don't hesitate to talk to her about your plans, she'll bring it to life.

If I could vote 10/5 stars I would, Marie was the best investment we made for our wedding. My fiancé and I went into wedding planning agreeing on everything and with the same vision, when finding a celebrant who shared this vision and our values it proved difficult. Until we found Marie! Meeting her was like reuniting with a long time friend, she was caring, loving, invested in us and our story and a hard working gal! She helped us beyond belief with all things wedding and made the process so easy and enjoyable. Our ceremony consisted of laughs, hugs, rounds of applause, engagement from the guests and hundreds of compliments after. We can’t say enough good things about Marie, you can’t go wrong with having her on your team and our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her. So much love for this gorgeous woman! Love Josh & Leah

Marie, Marie, Marie. How do we even begin to rave on about how amazing she is?! From start to end, we felt nothing but positive energy. She's your number 1 hype woman throughout your wedding journey and she's the best cheerleader on the day! She not only was our celebrant but also our incredible MC. Everyone was in absolute awe of how hilarious and unique her approach was to our ceremony and we could not have asked for anyone better. SERIOUSLY, she's the greatest.

You. Will. Not. Regret. Choosing. Her. PROMISE.

Thank you Marie, you're a bloody legend!

Been sitting with this for a few days because how can I put in words that I cannot possibly recommend Marie enough!!!

She made our ceremony so absolutely beautiful, and so beyond what we expected. She accommodated for our individual anxieties, and was so creative in diffusing it (hehe made our guests say their vows before we had to), she was available to help us with the planning of the day; and genuinely was such a major part of our beautiful day being so smooth for us.

We absolutely loved our ceremony and have not stopped re-watching the videos of it. Marie we are so grateful for your support and love before, during and after our ceremony! We are so grateful you were recommended to us by a loved one who absolutely adored your service too. Thank you for being our celebrant!

Better late than never!! I do not know how we missed leaving a Google review for our dear Marie, we must have still been on our wedding high from the amazing ceremony she gave us! Marie married my husband and I in early September. Marie is more than a celebrant through the entire process, from the initial meeting she cheered for us, became our biggest hype woman and took care of all the boring paperwork so that we could just focus on the excitement and magic of our big day. Marie gave us so many alternative options to make our ceremony something we truly felt comfortable with, how she got to know us and how she told our story to our family and friends was better than what we could’ve done ourselves. Our guests raved about how the ceremony was light hearted but also deeply personal, many people felt it was fun, full of love and that they learnt more about us from having witnessed it.

I love watching Marie’s stories on instagram and seeing her marrying new couples, I know and share the feeling that those couples feel, the experience of having Marie on your wedding day is so so special and you know that your day couldn’t have been more perfect!

Thank you so much again Marie, keep sharing this wonderful gift you have and bringing magic to peoples lives! We love you! Rita & Ben x.
