Lisa was a fantastic celebrant - we couldn't have chosen better and we would definitely recommend her services. She made the process of tailoring a wedding ceremony to our preferences so easy and she was excellent at putting people at ease. She captured our personalities and relationship so well in her speech after one in person meeting, and was a calm presence that kept things running smoothly.

Lisa was our celebrant and we are so grateful for our choice. She is simply incredible and gave us so much knowledge, comfort and love on our big day and in the lead up. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and wrote a really beautiful ceremony for us. She gave us guidance on how to write our vows and made sure every little detail was covered so that we were sorted on the day. The most important aspect of Lisa’s service for us was that she helped us to tune in to the heart of our relationship and share the depth of our love with each other on the day. Then, when it got emotional she showed us so much care and love to carry us through. In addition to the emotional side, Lisa has the practical side locked down! Her rehearsal was expert! She took us through exactly what we would all do so that everyone was clear what would happen. Honestly, she was perfect for us and we would highly recommend her to others. Thank you Lisa!

We felt incredibly blessed to have Lisa as part of our special day. From our very first meeting, she eased us into the process with her professional yet down‑to‑earth approach, bringing with her the warmth and energy of Martinborough and the charm of a close‑knit country village. From there, Lisa guided us through the entire build‑up with compassionate, caring, and deeply committed support. She worked closely with us on planning and writing our vows, ensuring our ceremony truly reflected who we are as a couple. She took the time to listen, understand us both individually and together, and remained wonderfully flexible to meet our needs. Lisa was with us every step of the journey—right through to the day itself, and even the following day when she checked in on us and delivered our final paperwork. This thoughtful gesture helped us feel calm and cared for after such an emotional experience. We were fortunate to have Lisa not only as our celebrant but also as our MC for the remainder of the wedding. Our ceremony was delivered in an incredibly touching way, with many guests commenting on how romantic and beautifully presented it was. Lisa carried herself with a dynamic and charismatic presence, striking the perfect balance between warmth, humour, tradition, and formality—thoughtfully reflecting the values and meaning behind the occasion. She carried this same atmosphere seamlessly into her MC duties, ensuring everything ran smoothly while capturing the highlights of the day. Lisa worked effortlessly behind the scenes with our vendors and family members, showing great professionalism. She respectfully honoured tradition while also elegantly challenging it with her modern and refreshing perspective. Lisa truly embodies a joie de vivre with a country soul—kind‑hearted, humble, and exceptionally knowledgeable. She created a service that was unforgettable, meaningful, and uniquely ours. 💫💒

Lisa made everything so easy and stress free for us, both on the wedding day and building up to it! She was really nice, she got to know us and created a really thoughtful script for the day. She had everything covered so we didn’t have to worry about things on the day. She is very professional and knows what she is doing- highly recommend! :)

We were incredibly lucky to have Lisa officiate our wedding! Lisa made every step of the process feel personal, meaningful, and stress-free, from our first meeting to the final "I do." Lisa took the time to really get to know us as a couple, incorporating our unique story and personalities into the ceremony. Her warm and professional demeanour immediately put us at ease. Many of our guests commented on how touching and beautiful the ceremony was, and we couldn't agree more! What really stood out to us was Lisa's ability to balance tradition with our own wishes. Lisa was flexible with our ideas and made sure the ceremony was exactly how we envisioned it. If you're looking for a celebrant who is passionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, we highly recommend Lisa. She played such an important role in making our wedding day perfect!

So pleased we chose Lisa to be our celebrant. She was the perfect fit for our little wedding and really listened to what sort of feel we were after. Thanks for being a part of our special day and giving us the ceremony we'd hoped for.

Elopement success thanks to the wonderful Lisa (Married on the 15th of December 2023 in the Martinborough Hotel Library). We didn’t give Lisa much to work with through short notice and a desire to ensure this official part of our lives was low key, before the party (some weeks later) Lisa took the time to get to know us as well as someone can from 100’s of kilometres away, through her diligent process (questionnaire and zoom call) and we thank her for making sure we took the time to recognise the importance of the day. Processing all the attributes one would look for in a celebrant, Lisa was absolutely brilliant and ensured our day will always be cherished through her considered and thoughtful processes, coupled with her warm and vibrant personality.

I feel so happy that you were the person to do our wedding. To spend some time to get to know us before the ceremony, was so important and made us to feel embraced by you. The ceremony was beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you for your support that day. Everything was perfect ❤️.

“Kayne and I were thrilled to have Lisa as our celebrant for our wedding. She was incredibly helpful from the very first meeting, she listened to what was important to us and as a result the ceremony was exactly what we wanted and spoken beautifully. We would definitely recommend having Lisa as a celebrant to any family or friends, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed (which is greatly appreciated on such an important day). Thank you so much Lisa.

“Lisa you were so amazing throughout the whole process of helping plan our ceremony. You were responsive, kind, supportive and reassuring. You have such a lovely calm and holistic nature, we do not feel like there is anything you could have done differently. Our day was perfect, even with things which did not go exactly to plan. Thank you.”

“Lisa captured the essence of our relationship and told our story with a humour that we, and our guests enjoyed and appreciated.”

“Lisa was our marriage celebrant at our recent surprise wedding. She only had 10 days notice from our first meeting until the big day.

She wonderfully embraced the whole concept, and somehow managed to capture the essence of who we are and the fun ceremony that we wanted.

She mingled admirably amongst our guests without giving anything away. She then proceeded to officiate our wedding with just the right tone.

Despite having only met us those 10 days earlier she spoke as if she had known us for years.

We could not recommend her more highly.”

“Lisa was everything we hoped for in a celebrant! We decided to get married with 4 weeks to organise and Lisa made the fast turn around so easy!! With it being a fast turn around we completed questionnaires so that Lisa could get to know our full story and she absolutely nailed it! The ceremony was so personal and captured our relationship perfectly!

We have children and Lisa suggested some awesome ideas to incorporate them into the ceremony that we used which included giving them gifts and she also created a family certificate for them to sign which was really special.

On the actual day she was great giving everyone direction and had written up our personal vows so we didn’t need to think about any of that, we just had to turn up!

The family thought she was amazing and we would recommend her 100%!!”

“Thank you again for officiating our wedding and being the MC. You did an amazing job in both roles. You really personalised the ceremony and were spot on with the tone. A lot of people said it was one of the best ceremonies they’ve been to and you really helped to make it a special day. 

Leading up to the ceremony you were also very clear with your communication. You took the time to understand us both and captured that well in the ceremony. I also appreciated the fact you asked for feedback on what you were planning to say beforehand and adapted it accordingly.”

“We are shy people at first, but we felt at ease with you straight away and just knew that we didn’t need to look any further for a celebrant – we had found the one! You are someone who loves the outdoors like us, and you aren’t afraid of having fun, what more could we ask for. You made the lead up to the wedding stress free, asked us what we would like and communicated all the legalities in a simple understandable manner. The draft ceremony was drawn up in record time, and you were more than happy to meet with us again multiple times before the wedding to ensure we felt happy and knew what would happen on the day. You figured out our personalities very quickly and just ran with it, embracing us for who we were. It was so much fun! You are kind, compassionate, and offer the best guidance in what can be some emotional filled moments. We knew that everything was going to be okay having you there and we cannot thank you enough for the huge role you played in the best day of our lives. Thank you.”

“When we first met you for coffee, we both walked away knowing we had picked the right person. You put me at ease, you were patient and very accommodating with my last minute change of time and venue. I don’t think we could have asked anyone better to be our celebrant. Thankyou.”

H&C February 2023


“The choice of celebrant for our marriage ceremony was really important to us. We had a very specific idea of how we wanted things to be so it had to be someone who “got it”, someone who understood what mattered most to us. And that person is Lisa. What really impressed us was how Lisa took the time to get to know us better and genuinely listened to what we wanted. Her kindness, patience and warmth made the process easy and Lisa’s keen eye for detail ensured nothing was overlooked. Lisa really is an amazing person and if you are looking for someone to make your special occasion a truly memorable experience then we can’t recommend her highly enough.”
