“I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie as a celebrant for a funeral or celebration of life. She did a fantastic job of leading the ceremony we held for my mom. Through interviews with us three kids, she was able to craft a beautiful telling of my mom’s life story. She is not only an excellent writer, but also a warm and engaging public speaker. We had many people tell us it was the loveliest memorial service they had ever been to.”

“We just want to say Thanks to you for a terrific job done leading our celebration for Dad . You had many very kind thoughts and comments that were noted and appreciated by all at the celebration. It was a lovely tribute to our Dad/Dad in law. You helped ease much of our potential pressure and strain.”

“Maggie created a beautiful and completely individualized wedding ceremony that captured our essence and fit our vision. We wanted our story told in a specific way and Maggie delivered 100%. Our guests are still talking about how professional and engaging she was at our wedding - many said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever witnessed! From the very beginning she made it clear that our vision was her vision and she was readily accessible through the whole year of planning. It was an absolute joy to work with Maggie and we are so grateful we chose her to marry us!”

“We were so grateful to have found Maggie and that she was available to officiate our wedding on July 1 this year. We often talked about getting married over the last 16 years but a number of obstacles were present, not the least of which was who would perform the ceremony. It was never going to be a ceremony that would have had a generic justice or marriage commissioner so when Maggie came into our lives we knew we could trust her and there was one less obstacle.

She guided us through a process that was at once joyful, touching, and deep. In moments of difficulty, she made herself available to talk and reassure. We always felt safe with Maggie and knew that she was preternaturally tuned in to what we wanted and what we needed. She steered us gently and generously and invariably her advice was absolutely correct.

We will always be grateful to Maggie for capturing the essence of our love, our history and our future and helping us share that with our friends and family. We are pleased to count her among our friends and grateful for her significant contribution to what was literally the best day of our lives (so far). Thanks again, Maggie!”

“What do you want your wedding to be like? We both had an idea of something that felt good, authentic, outdoorsy, and unpretentious, but we didn’t have all the words to define it. Maggie not only wrote and delivered an eloquent ceremony, but she helped us define the kind of experience we wanted for the whole event. She worked with us patiently as we planned the day, gently keeping a strict schedule for finalizing the ceremony, and the result was pure magic.

Our ceremony was not a box-ticking exercise. It was personal, it was emotional, it was fun. Maggie shared our story like she’d been there herself, and wove it together seamlessly with humour and grace. She connected with our guests and set the tone for the many hours of joy and celebration that followed.

Our guests keep saying it was the most memorable ceremony they’ve experienced. We keep saying we cannot believe how perfectly it all came together. Maggie had all the words we’d been looking for, and we are so grateful for the memories she helped us make!”

“Choosing the officiant for our wedding was a nerve racking thought - until we met Maggie. From the moment we met to end of our celebration, we could not have been happier.

Maggie walked us through every step of the process and kept reminding us that the day is for us - a key but sometimes hard thing to remember. We have received great feedback from many guests of our wedding on the great smile, energy and love that Maggie shared with everyone.

We can’t thank Maggie enough for leading us through our wedding day and for being part of our new journey.”

“So, you’re probably doing what I was doing - searching for a marriage commissioner in Victoria and not knowing how on earth to choose. Maybe you too have been to weddings that looked like cookie cutter versions of daft bridal magazines and sounded like little more than a legal contract being read out. I knew that’s not what I wanted.

What I wanted is for one of the most special moments in my life with my partner to be a truly special event that reflected our individual selves and our partnership. Maggie delivered 111%. My partner and I had kind of a fun relational backstory, and she told it in a way that brought out that fun. She shaped a ceremony that was warm, participatory, and filled with joy.

I added a radical variable in a fairly last minute way that I was nervous about, and she was relentlessly and unconditionally enthusiastic and supportive in a manner that helped me follow through on taking a risk that paid off spectacularly. She covered every contingency and planned for things we hadn’t even considered. I can’t thank Maggie enough for helping to make our wedding a truly magical moment for us and our friends and family. I hope you make the same great decision that we did and choose her too.”

“Maggie was highly referred to us, and she exceeded our hopes and expectations. We were initially torn between simply hiring a commissioner to perform a basic ceremony, or to splurge a bit on a personalized ceremony. We are SO glad we chose the latter because the ceremony ended up being incredibly moving, memorable, and special to us and our loved ones... there was not a dry eye amongst our guests as Maggie told our unique love story as part of the ceremony. Maggie was a joy to work with from the planning stages through to the rehearsal, and of course on the big day. She offered excellent suggestions throughout planning, she was flexible, and didn’t bat an eyelid at accommodating our ideas, such as our canine ring bearers, and coordinating ceremony cues with a singer we chose. Having Maggie as our Celebrant was the best decision we could have made about our wedding!”

“Thank you Maggie for an absolutely perfect ceremony! You made what we imagined come to life. You told the story of our love in a way that had people crying and laughing; the perfect balance!

Your time, patience and openness during the entire ceremony building process was very much appreciated. You helped us feel so comfortable and relaxed the day of the wedding with your wonderful personality and professionalism.

We cannot thank you enough for sharing our love story with our friends and family!”

“Thank you so much for your guidance and support. And for marrying us — finally! Your calm demeanour and enthusiasm really helped make our wedding day plans a reality, and this special day all the more wonderful and enjoyable!”

“We are so, so grateful to have had you marry us. Your warmth and personality gave our ceremony precisely the tone and feeling we wanted, and set the mood for our entire wedding day.

Thank you for asking all the right questions in advance of our wedding, and for taking the time to craft a ceremony that reflected the magic of the moment for us.”
