Testimonials

Having never attended a non- religious wedding before we were both unsure of what to expect when planning our wedding. But it was just amazing. We both had the pleasure of getting to meet Jean the year before our wedding and within minutes of speaking with her any concerns we had were totally alleviated. We both wanted to say a massive thank you to Jean for making our ceremony the most special time in our lives, all of our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful and personal the service was, even some of the men were crying on the day. The little extras that we were unaware of really added to what was the most perfect day for us both and we will never forget Jean for the part she played in our day. We will never be able to thank you enough

“Everyone commented on how beautiful everything was and quite a few people came to me and said it was the best ever wedding ceremony they had been to (one of the girls who said this is a serial wedding goer – I think she had about 7 this summer before us!!). It was a beautiful day and your words were very moving and perfect for us – your little book was a most unexpected little treat and something we will keep as a happy reminder”

“Jean, thank you so much for the wonderful job you made of our wedding ceremony.  The words you spoke meant a great deal to Claire and me, but I was astounded by the number of people who commented upon how lovely they thought what you said was.  There were some really nice, and some unexpected, touches and it made for a very very special day.”

Getting married in France was an easy decision, our love of good food and wine made it an obvious choice. It did feel a bit of a gamble asking a complete stranger to conduct our wedding celebration, but as soon as the emails started flowing, we knew we were in safe hands with Christine. And on the day itself, with the threat of rain looming, Christine arrived with the voice of calm, reason and a glint in her eye! The service itself was playful and heartfelt, and many people commented on how moving it was and what a good reflection of our personalities. We had an incredible weekend and getting the right person to conduct our service was a crucial component. So, massive thanks Christine, we look forward to cracking open the Bordeaux in 10 years!

“Thank you for making the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. The ceremony was so meaningful and personal to us. Our guests said that is was so touching to be part of such an intimate occasion. The wording of the ceremony was moving and will say with us forever .”

It was such an amazing day that I still can’t believe it. Married life is wonderful 🙂
Thanks again for making us husband and wife and know that you have have made two people who love each other very happy

Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special to us in every way. It was personal, funny at all the right times and delivered with such positivity and professionalism. I know all of our guests enjoyed your words and all spoke extremely highly of you, with many saying it was the nicest ceremony they had ever witnessed. We appreciated that you took so much time to go over our drafts and give constructive comments on how we could improve the ceremony and make it flow better, for example, by adding in the reading by Kim. Our parents were particularly complimentary as we had not discussed the ceremony with them and thought it better to keep your words and ours a surprise for the wedding day. Ritchie and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding and you being part of it and giving us such a beautiful ceremony was one of the most important pieces to a puzzle that once complete created such a perfect day.

Jean, of celebrants in France, was brilliant. She worked hard to create a ceremony that really reflected my new husband and my personality. In the lead up to the big day Jean got to know us and was able to craft a ceremony that fitted perfectly with the tone of the day and even included a few surprises.

I feel the greatest compliment to Jean was how many of our guests commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was and our photographer wanted to know where we found her! – Thank you so much Jean.

“Just a short note to say a massive thank you for our wonderful wedding ceremony on Sunday. It was so beautiful and personal – a memory that will live with us both forever. All of our guests, many of whom would never have been to a non-church wedding before, remarked how special they found it, and if they had their time again, would all consider such a ceremony – you may be busy in years to come!!”

“Jean, thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special with your caring touch. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. We will always have fond memories of our ceremony in which you so beautifully captured our personalities, hopes, and dreams.”

“Myself and my husband are still on cloud 9 after the best day of our lives. We would like to say a huge thank you to Alison for helping make it the most special day. From her initial contact to the day of the ceremony; Alison was warm, approachable, and professional beyond belief. The personal, emotional yet funny ceremony couldn’t have been any better, I’ve never seen so many happy tears at one wedding!! The bottle of Bordeaux to open on our 5th wedding anniversary with a copy of the ceremony is such a beautiful touch. We can’t thank you enough Alison.”

Thank you once again and take care

‘Thanks for being part of our special day Roland.  You were amazing and made it so personal”.  

“Roland, we had such a wonderful wedding and the ceremony set the tone for the day.  Thank you so much for such a warm and meaningful ceremony”.  

“We decided to have our wedding ceremony in France and began our search for a Celebrant.

Luckily for us, we found and Chose Alison to conduct our ceremony. 

From our video calls to our emails back and forth, she was always helpful and friendly. 

We were honestly thrilled with our ceremony and the way Alison told our story. We wanted it to be light hearted to reflect our personalities and she got the tone just right, without taking away from the significance and importance of the situation.

Several of our guests came up to us during the day and said how it was the most personal ceremony they’d ever been to.

We would highly recommend Alison to anyone planning a wedding in France” 

ay was just perfect, our guests are also still raving about it over a week later – which is a sign of a good wedding! 

 More than happy to provide a testimonial, we have curated the below. Wishing you all the very best Alison, thanks for everything. 

Alison was amazing, from start to finish. From our initial call with her 18 months before our wedding, where she took the time and interest to get to know our story and share in our excitement for our upcoming nuptials. She ensured we were happy with our draft and delivered our ceremony eloquently using pauses and gravitas when required. She had great interaction with our friends and family before, during and after the ceremony, which created a lovely atmosphere-  it was genuinely perfect.  

As the groom, Alison made me feel really calm before the ceremony and gave me quite simple instructions to follow and didn’t make anything complicated, which was a relief as it was one less thing to worry about on the day.

Alison also added a personal and generous touch by providing us with a sentimental gift at the end of our ceremony which was very kind. 

Thank you so much Alison for making our ceremony so special and bespoke to us. 

 Love and best wishes 

We are now home after our wedding and we wanted to thank you for our beautiful wedding ceremony. 

 Every guest afterwards commented on how special the ceremony was, and how personal it felt – which is exactly what we had hoped for.  It really reflected us as a couple and our family, and had much more emotion that a typical service in the UK.   There were barely any dry eyes, but there was laughter as well as love – it really was a lovely atmosphere.  You also made us feel very comfortable beforehand and we didn’t worry at any point about the logistics or mechanics at all.   

Although it was longer and more poignant than a service in the UK, it did fly by, so if we ever renew our vows in France we will be in touch so that we can do it all again! In the meantime we look forward to our gift in 5 years – thank you that was a very touching gesture.  

With huge thanks and very fond memories,
