Good morning Rachel,

Thank you so much for, as everyone said, the lovely service you gave for R. We are all very grateful.

We did continue stories about him in the Kings Arms and we believe we gave him a good send off.

Thank you for all the kindness and support you showed me.

You are a wonderful celebrant and I wish you every success for the future. 

Best Regards

July 2024 - 5 star review 

We picked Rachel as our celebrant for our big day and couldn’t have been happier with our choice! She was so helpful throughout the planning stages, even coming to our house for a meeting to run through everything which made us feel so at ease.

From the personal touches taking the time to write about our love story, to helping us write our special vows, and even providing a ‘marriage certificate’ to sign on our day and make it look like an ‘official’ ceremony to our guests. Rachel made our ceremony so lovely, and all our guests commented on how personal and touching it was.

We would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for the perfect celebrant for their day – Rachel is your girl!

Again, thank you so much. We definitely chose the right person for the job. You. xx

Hi Rachel, I just wanted to send  quick message to say thank you so much for the delivery of the service today. It was beautifully held and the pacing was perfect.

Wow thank you so much Rachel. Anyone looking for the perfect celebrant please don’t look no further. We met up for Casual dinner to go through the day, her kind nature and beautiful smile was truly heartwarming and calming. We wouldn’t have made it through the day without her. She does her homework and made it very personal which made the day more special. We can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Fabulous Lady x

Hi Rachel, 

Thank you sooooo much for doing our wedding.  Your ceremony was exactly what we’d hoped for - it was very evident you had put a lot of time into crafting everything perfectly.  You did a marvelous job deliverying it in the wind too! 

We really appreciate how flexible and patient you were with us in the lead up. We are so sorry we were so last minute with everything. 

Please feel free to pass on my message above to any prospective clients- I would recommend your business any day.

I’ll send over some photos when they come through too.

Take care and thanks again,

Nicole & James xx

Rachel was fantastic for the whole duration of our wedding, including the planning stage. She answered any and all questions we had along with performing the ceremony with sincerity.

We had the pleasure of Rachel as the Celebrant for our Blessing ceremony for our wedding. We met up for a relaxed coffee before hand to get a feel for what we would like on the day. It was also really nice to have a professional touch to help structure the ceremony as we didn't really know where to start. Rachel helped the day run smoothly and we couldn't have asked for more from her (even learning how to perform a sage burning ritual alongside our more traditional vows) and to always be on the end of the phone if we needed.

Thank you again, Rachel, for the perfect start to our marriage.

Rachel

My brother and I just wanted to thank you so much for yesterday.

You did an amazing job, your warmth shone through. The tone was absolutely perfect. Mum would have been very happy.

Mum's friend said afterwards she felt you had a very calming influence on the proceedings, which was lovely to hear.

I think we lucked out on the weather too - it's thoroughly miserable here today!

Thanks so much again from both of us.

Beautiful Service!

Rachel made a daunting task very easy, she was very easy company to be around whilst remaining professional throughout, we discussed how the ceremony would go and she helped me piece it altogether and it was a relief once we had discussed the ceremony, I felt confident that we was in safe hands, and we was!!

Thank you for a lovely service.
