Danni - With Love Celebrancy

My wife and I were planning a trip to England and decided we would do a vow renewal in the form of a handfasting ceremony while we were there. We searched for a celebrant but we knew we had found the right person when we contacted Danni. She was able to ask us questions and capture the essence of our relationship from that which let her create a ceremony for us that was exactly what we wanted. She made the entire experience friendly and easy to arrange. I can highly recommend Danni ! More...

To sum up Danni from the beginning, after conducting our wedding ceremony, multiple of our guests asked us whether she was a relative or old family friend, because she was so genuine, invested and her delivery of our story was so natural that people assumed she had known us for years.

We found Danni through Bark, after putting out an ad for a celebrant, and out of all of those who got in touch, after looking at her page, we were immediately interested as she seemed to fit our style and vibe perfectly. We were correct!

We had an initial video call with her to establish what we wanted and what she could deliver, and we found that we were immediately aligned on what we could make our ceremony into. We were also struck by just how personable and fun Danni was. She had a great energy, and put us at ease very quickly over any stresses we may have had about the ceremony.

Danni then came over to meet us in person, and we went through the story of our relationship with her, with her delving deeper into different anecdotes, and asking us further questions about our relationship and who we are as people. All of this information was provided over a 90 min or so period, and was then shaped into the ceremony she delivered, retelling our story in a really personal way. She created a first draft for us, which we had full editing permissions over, so whilst what she wrote was fantastic from the off, we had the option to tweak any small bits that we wanted to.

Danni’s thoughtful questions and genuine interest helped us shape a very meaningful ceremony for the two of us, and was something which many of our guests commented on; even the venue staff mentioned upon us collecting our decorations how meaningful and personal they found the ceremony to be.

We included in the ceremony a traditional Nichiren Buddhist San San Kudo, which Danni seamlessly built in to proceedings. Whilst she already had some knowledge of this, Danni did further research and expertly adapted what she knew already to include the nuances of the brides religion.

Danni also cared about the little details, taking us through where we should be standing, gave us tips for photographs, matched what she was wearing to our colour scheme, and co-ordinated expertly with our venue and photographer.

To say how good Danni is, is to say we haven’t even mentioned her delivery of the ceremony this far in. She spoke really well, engaged our congregation, directed both of us, as well as our musician, best man, and flower girl.

Danni really cares, which was evident throughout, shown on the morning of where she had the idea to include a game of rock paper scissors at the altar to see who would give their vows first, as both of us share a love of games. Little touches like this just added to what was already a really special and personal ceremony. She even bought us a board game as a wedding gift afterwards, which was entirely unexpected and very thoughtful.

Danni is not simply just a wonderful celebrant, but first and foremost and lovely person who became an integral part of our wedding day, and we always looked forward to any calls or meetings we had with her. We cannot recommend her enough as the ceremony she produced was everything we wanted and more. More...

We’d spent weeks searching for the perfect celebrant and from the very first call with Danni we knew she was the one. So down to earth and full of energy Danni really made our wedding day special and very very us. She really went above and beyond and no job was too much. She was a huge support throughout the whole stressful wedding planning process and became one of our closest friends. She was our hype girl, she helped write our vows, she was our dog treat holder, she told our story perfectly, she was our positive person when it looked like we were gonna be rained out and she tore up the dance floor and got the party started! We are so so happy we chose Danni and now have a friend for life. She loves what she does and it really really shows! More...

Danni is the most amazing woman to have as a celebrant! As soon as we spoke on the phone I knew she was going to be the one to officiate our wedding. I didn’t bother to contact any others even though she was the first to get back to me. When we first met with Danni it felt like we had known her forever, she is funny, warm and obviously loves her job, we couldn’t have been in better hands. From beginning to end her commitment to getting our ceremony perfect was unwavering. On the day she steadied our nerves and had hers tested by my husband’s shenanigans 😂 she didn’t miss a beat! She even joined in with a ride on the bucking bronco during our reception! So, a massive thank you to you Danni for making our day so special, we feel like we’ve made a new friend and we 100% recommend having Danni as your celebrant for any occasion More...

When it came to writing our vows, we were unsure where to start. We knew what we wanted to say, but not how to say it.

Danni listened and guided us individually. Our vows complimented each other, without having read each others beforehand. There were many tears and laughs during both our vows in the ceremony and it was so much more special knowing each word was so personal to us. More...
