Hi Bernie
We just want to say thank you so so much for making our ceremony so special. We knew from our very first meeting that you would add that magic touch to the day. What we loved the most is how you created such a relaxing encouraging atmosphere from start to finish not just for us but all of our guests as well. Every request we had was accommodated with a smile. You reminded us every step of the way to have the ceremony that we wanted. And I have to say we enjoyed every minute of it. From the meaningful parts to the musical theatrical parts it was just so much fun and magical and it was the perfect start to what was the best day of our lives. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We were so lucky to have you guide and share the most important part of our day. You are amazing at what you do. Love Carol and Jay xx

Bernie was fantastic on our big day. Caring, professional, organised and fun. Bernie brought great warmth to our ceremony and gave great advice as we were designing our day. Nothing was too much trouble for Bernie and we felt we were in very safe hands all the way along on our wedding journey. We both loved having Bernie with us on the day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant for their big day

We could not recommend Bernadette enough, so professional throughout the whole process. She is a lovely and kind lady with such a warming personality. From when we first made initial contact over the phone to when we met on our special day, Bernadette made us feel at ease and excited about the vows and the ceremony and incorporated our ideas exactly how we wanted. Thanks for being a part of our special day, We are celebrating our first year anniversary this weekend x

Hi Bernadette,

We just want to thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony at our wedding last week. You were so helpful and supportive from the first time we contacted you, and you really made us feel at ease on the day. Every element of the ceremony was beautiful, from the readings, prayers, music, candle lighting and hand fastening ceremony. You somehow made the sun shine for us at exactly the right time too! 😂 Every guest was amazed by the beautiful ceremony and how it went, as were we! So thanks again for making our day so special.

Hi Bernie, just want to say a huge thanks again to you for Saturday. It was just a lovely ceremony and so many people have come back and said that to us. My Mum said that she has never been to a religious ceremony before that she liked but she loved our one so that’s a huge compliment in itself!

Hi Bernadette,

Just a quick email to say thanks! We were both so nervous about being the centre of attention, hence why it took us nearly 20 years, that’s until we met you.

You made us both feel so at ease and gave us the most beautiful ceremony, it was small, no fuss and exactly what we wanted!

Your amazing at what you do, so a massive thanks from myself and Darron. I have and will always recommend you to everyone!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Bernadette for making our ceremony last November so so special. We met Bernie at a wedding fair the precious January and she made us feel so at ease and relaxed we knew that we wanted her to celebrate our wedding with us. The ceremony was so personal and special for us. Our nerves were diminished as soon as we sat down at the top of the aisle and Bernie was so calming and reassuring. All our guests really enjoyed our ceremony and we felt that was the most special part of our day, it reflected who we are as a couple and everyone commented on that too. Thank you Bernie. We really appreciate all your hard work you put in to making it so personal and special for us. xxx

Hi Bernadette,

Just wanted to drop you a mail to firstly apologise – I’ve only just found your final draft in my spam folder!!!! So sorry for not getting back to you last week, I’m sure you thought we were so disorganised haha!

We both cannot thank you enough for last Saturday. I can only speak for myself in saying I was so nervous beforehand but as soon as I saw you the nerves were gone – throughout the whole ceremony (and process leading up to it) you made everything so easy and relaxed. We felt safe and cared for and I can honestly say the ceremony was our favourite part of the day because of how personal it was for us and how we were able to really enjoy it.

We have had nothing but amazing feedback about the ceremony from our guests – people were absolutely blown away by it. We are eternally grateful to have had you be such a huge part of our day.

Wishing you all the love and hoping our paths cross again in the future.

All our love,

We are finally getting around to thanking you for the most amazing ceremony. We’ll never forget it, it really was special. So many guests went out of their way to single out the ceremony as the highlight of the day!
We were ushered down the aisle and onto the madness, so didn’t get to thank you properly in person..we loved it!

It was a pleasure to meet you

It was so easy to work with Bernadette and we came up with a very personal and meaningful ceremony. Bernadette did such a professional job on the day and made us so relaxed. All of guests are still talking about and thought it was one of the nicest ceremonies they ever attended. Thank you so much Audrey and Jamie x

Hi Bernadette,
Anthony and I are back now from a wonderful honeymoon in Italy! I wanted to write to you and thank you again for such an incredible wedding ceremony. It was everything I could have ever wanted. You put us at ease, you made sure our ceremony allowed us to reflect on the moment and take everything in. I will never forget how wonderful it was. Thank you for everything leading up to the ceremony as well. I felt you truly cared that Anthony and I had a ceremony where we expressed our love for each other and our family and friends in a way that suited us personally. Thank you again, Bernadette! We will always have such fond memories of you. Take care! -Timory and Anthony
