Thanks so much for the lovely Review Gillian, i really enjoyed meeting you and Bill, hearing your story and creating your script. The day itself could not have been any better, you both looked so happy to be surrounded by your family and friends, the venue was beautiful and the weather just perfect. More importantly, you shared the story you wanted to tell, and it was an excellent reflection of you both. I wish you much happiness together, especially around the pool!

Both Rupert and I were thrilled to work with Sue for our wedding. She totally understood our “vibe” and that we wanted something low key but yet a service which really highlighted our commitment and love for each other and our family. She added humour and lovely context. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend Sue for your special day ! More...

Having Sue as our celebrant was the perfect fit! From the initial meeting, right up to our Wedding day, Sue was attentive, professional and easy. After gathering details of our "love story" Sue put together a script that was perfect. We also received great feedback about Sue from our guests, before our ceremony commenced. Don't look elsewhere!

We had the pleasure of having Sue as our civil celebrant, and the entire process with her was smooth and easy. From our initial phone conversation to meeting up and organising the marriage paperwork, Sue guided us with calm professionalism.

She was incredibly patient with everyone involved, and the ceremony she created for Carlos and me was absolutely perfect—heartfelt, personal, and full of love. We truly wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you, Sue, for being such a special part of our day and for making it so memorable and beautiful.

Mark and I truly found a unicorn when we came across Sue. From the first meeting over video she made us feel at ease and took away all of the stress that builds up when trying to find the perfect person. She recreated our love story so beautifully and had great suggestions and selections for poems and readings that we hadn't even thought about having. A beautiful, kind soul, that we were so grateful to have as our celebrant. We highly recommend her to be a part of your wedding. More...

We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant for our wedding day than Sue. From our first meeting to the ceremony itself, she was professional, warm, and truly invested in making our day as special as possible.

What stood out the most was Sue's ability to craft a ceremony that perfectly reflected our personalities and relationship. She took the time to get to know us, our story, and our vision for the day, and it showed in every word spoken during the ceremony. It was heartfelt, personal, and beautifully written.

On the day of the wedding, Sue was calm, organised, and reassuring, which helped us feel at ease. The ceremony itself was flawless, and we received so many compliments from our friends about how meaningful and unique it was. Sue has an incredible ability to connect with people and create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, which made our ceremony unforgettable.

We are so grateful to have had Sue and Speaking from the Heart as part of our big day. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely caring and passionate about creating a memorable wedding ceremony, we highly recommend them!
Thank you for everything Sue, the day was unforgettable and truly incredible.

Thanks so much for your lovely Review Leeanne, it was such a pleasure to meet with you and Greg, hear your stories and craft a fitting Script. Despite ominous skies, the day could not have been more perfect with your beautiful adult children delivering the Script, there was such a strong family connectedness, as a Celebrant, it was more than I could have hoped for. The Ceremony certainly 'kickstarted' the celebrations and set the tone for the evening, there was such joy and happiness, I am so pleased to have be able to assist you to make your day a wonderful experience.

We had a small and intimate wedding, yet Sue still ran the ceremony with such professionalism and reverence. Her warm presence added to the occasion and we could not be happier to have Sue as part of our special day.

It was amazing working with Sue for our intimate ceremony at home. She made sure our ceremony was truly special, and added a lot of personal elements to the ceremony structure and tone. Her kind and attentive nature fit perfectly on our big day, drawing everybody to focus on the ceremony and reducing the amount of distractions. My partner and I loved that she was so patient with us in organising everything while our family kept us busy and away from arranging our ceremony on time. She made our day very wholesome and special and I would recommend her services for anybody needing a kind, loving and attentive celebrant. More...

I really appreciate your kind words Caitlin, l so enjoyed working with you both, you had ideas which just needed minimal assistance to come to life. It was such a privilege being involved in an international Ceremony, certainly one which will hold a special memory with me.

Q&As

Being a Celebrant would have to be THE BEST job in the world as you get to be part of couple's most joyful day. It is a real honor and privilege to be part of this whole process ( that also goes for being involved with arranging end of life services and pet memorials too ).
As I really enjoy the company of other people, hearing what they do, of their plans, adventures, aspirations and hopes for the future, being a Celebrant gives me the chance to be involved with all these things, I feel it keeps me energised.

The desire to get out and about, keep listening and talking with people, hearing their plans, seeing the love and joy between them, it really is a unique opportunity to observe people and be a part of one of their most special days. I feel it fits me perfecctly, it gives me room to grow, get out and see new places and of course, meet such a variety of people.

I am authentic and I listen to peoples needs, I take the stress out of planning for the ceremony, I want them to know that things are under control ( at least this element of the wedding ) Obviously, I won't appeal to everyone and that's OK too, but to the rest, I hope I feel as comfortable as a great pair of shoes!

Certainly there are some elements that can now be done online, we may not have to meet until the actual day of the wedding but I know that nearly all couples do like to catch up for a rehearsal about a week out from the wedding to go over the final details to ensure that everything is just 'perfect!'
I am always happy to discuss these matters with each couple to accommodate their individual needs.

As things have almost returned to 'normal' we do now meet again face-to-face however if couples do wish to restrict these meetings to Zoom, as stated, this can be arranged.

• Free introductory Zoom “Hello” meeting to see if we are a good fit!

• The rehearsal, this is usually held a week or so before the wedding at the location of your wedding ceremony (be it in a venue, park, at the beach, city location or just in your home). It is reassuring to have a run through of what is planned for your actual day, order of events, positions, movements etc, so that you will all feel confident and relaxed knowing what you have to do on your wedding day.
