‘To start with, simply put, Julie is an exceptionally kind human being and the celebrant you want on your big day.

She supported us through an extremely difficult time, with my mother being diagnosed with cancer the week before our wedding. Not once did we feel a burden, with our ever changing plans, to the point she was able to help us pull together a legal only ceremony with our immediate family (and three hours notice!), two days prior to our scheduled wedding.

This support was far beyond what we could have expected and we are forever grateful that she was able to work with us through such unexpected circumstances, allowing my mother to be part of the actual legal ceremony.

On the scheduled wedding day, she was our greatest supporter and we have received so many compliments on the ceremony style from our friends and family. There were many laughs and importantly, she stepped aside for all of the important photo opportunities.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU JULIE’
