Marie is an absolute gem and so AWESOME! We contacted Marie to be our wedding celebrant. We knew straight away how loving and perfect she was for our vibe.

We loved the crowd participation that Marie encouraged. This set the scene from the very beginning and allowed people to relax from the minute they arrived. Marie really takes the time to personalise your ceremony based on your relationship. So many of our guests were so relieved that they could cheer and actually get involved in the ceremony rather than just sitting looking bored. We always knew we wanted someone that would be fun and bright and Marie went above and beyond that and we couldn't have been more stoked with her!!

When we think about the day we actually think about the ceremony because we have so many little moments from that we owe to Marie! Cannot thank her enough! Highly recommended!

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.

Even before the wedding, we could feel the love and professionalism. Marie was very well prepared and had a structure that helps you to create the most beautiful content. Before the ceremony and even before we arrived, she was welcoming all our guests with a beautiful smile. We could hear from the room how excited everyone was and how she set up an energetic, happy and safe environment.

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. 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.

She even welcome my family in Spanish, and that made them feel very inclusive in the ceremony. And last but not least….her outfit was just STUNNING, it was literally the cherry on the cake (And we did not have a cake). So bubbly, chic and elegant.

If you are reading this because you are thinking of getting married, don't be a fool and lock her in NOW.

Where do I start with Marie? If you’re thinking about hiring her - stop thinking. START BOOKING! This woman will be your absolute cheerleader, wedding mama, DISCO BALL LOVING, spectacular celebrant and MC you could ever ask for.

Marie went above and BEYOND for our wedding. From helping us step by step before the big day (and even having hard conversations with our vendors for us!) to bubble guns and guest entertainer - Marie is one of a kind.

Every dollar spent I would spend again and again. Marie made our day what it was. We can’t imagine our day without her.

A fierce queer ally. If you’re a queer couple - you won’t be disappointed if you book Marie. She will look after your wedding like it’s her own. She knows how special queer love is.

Marie leads with her heart and is a beautiful feeler who will find all the right things to say to your guests on your day.

Why are you still reading this!?!? Book Marie!!!

I could spend the next year trying to find the words for this review and still not even come close to capturing what a phenomenal celebrant Marie is. She was just perfect.

From the initial planning stages, communication was always prompt and empathetic. Marie guided us through the legalities and preparation required with ease and I felt she had everything completely under control, which meant one less thing to have to worry about.

Marie was also amazingly kind towards our toddler and took the time to get to know him at meetings, so the wedding day was less of a shock. She gave us some amazing tips for how to get him through the ceremony and reception, and they worked perfectly. She was able to include him as much as he was willing on the day and her advice and tips really helped him be the best kiddo he could be on what was a long and hot day.

Marie's celebrancy style was bright, loud, and fabulous. We opted not get a draft of a ceremony prior which was perfect for us. That trust was not misplaced! The surprise of hearing and experiencing everything for the first time was such a special experience. From being announced down the aisle and cheered and clapped, to having our guests bless our marriage with promises that were uniquely us, I could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant or ceremony that captured my partner and I as individuals, or as a couple.

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?"

If you have any doubts about using Marie, please don't hesitate. She was bold, beautiful, energetic and lively which fitted us perfectly to a tee. You won't be disappointed.
