Ali is truly the BEST celebrant that you could choose for your wedding. She is experienced, works at a very high standard and is a thoughtful human-being. She will prioritise you as a couple by preparing you in a relaxed but informative way about all aspects of the ceremony. E.g., from where the bridal party should be positioned to ideas for your first kiss as husband and wife to maximise great photos (no tee pee kisses! 😂) and alleviate any stress that you might hold about the finer details.

Her attention-to-detail, ability to read a room and chilled out but get-it-done attitude is exactly the energy that you need for your big day. She will actually get to know the couple and script a story in a style that suits you both. She effortlessly slides out of all the great photo moments, queues music and makes sure to pronounce everyone’s name correctly for the big day. It’s those little details that make Ali worth a million.

Also, when you reach the end of the aisle and greet her first instead of your husband to be (because she was an irreplaceable help and got to know you both so well!) she will gently redirect you before it happens and whisper “No no, we’re not doing that” lol!! So gold. You’re the best Ali (Tristan also won’t stop saying so).

My wife and I were recently married by Ali and could not be happier with he work. Right from the beginning, she was great to chat to, very friendly and very professional. We lived a few hours from Adelaide and spent a few nights video chatting to Ali with a few glasses of red to run through our ideas and plans for the wedding.

Something I really liked is that she gave very good feedback to our ideas that never felt like she was being pushy. She understands perfectly that the day is about us and was great for suggesting things to help make our ceremony more special. Naturally, she's seen a few weddings and knows what does and does not work and really helped us rookies out.

On the day, Ali was at the venue early and well prepared. She spoke very clearly and fluently which is one of the selling points that attracted us to her. All the paperwork was easy to fill out and she gave us a nice follow up email to assist with the name changing process.

10/10 for Ali. I can't say I hope to use her again but would definitely recommend to everyone for their weddings.

Ali was absolutely fantastic - we had so many glowing compliments from our guests about the ceremony, but more than that she made us feel so comfortable and supported right from the beginning! Organised, honest and a fabulous operator - would highly recommend to anyone.

We had the honour of having Ali as our celebrant. She was recommended to us by two other couples. She explained everything in detail and made the process as smooth as possible. Her words were beautiful, eloquent and tailored to our story. She made the ceremony stress free. Thank you Ali!

Ali was the most wonderful celebrant. She completely understood the kind of ceremony we were looking for and she guided us through all the aspects and formalities we needed to understand ahead of the day. She was very warm and personable and delivered exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much Ali, it was perfect.

Where do I start! Ali was an absolute pleasure to work with. As soon as my partner and I were hand in hand at the ceremony in front of Ali, all our nerves went away! She really made it feel like it was just the 3 of us up there - getting married! All our family and friends commented how natural she was and how they thought she was one of our long time friends! Ali takes care of all the pre wedding paperwork and guides you in the right direction post wedding on how to register your name change officially etc. Excellent communication and follow up thought the whole experience! You will not be disappointed if you work with Ali. I would recommend her to anyone!

Ali was incredible and we are so grateful she was able to marry us!

She was the ultimate professional, guiding us through the whole process including raising points that we did not even think of!

She has a warmth and kindness that is so genuine, so much so that it felt like we were being married by a long time friend.

We couldn't recommend Ali anymore highly!

Thank you Ali for helping make our day so special.

Ali was not only our incredible and wonderful marriage celebrant, she is also our very dear friend. We couldn't have asked for more as she guided us through the lead up to this amazing day and on the day itself. She was cool, calm, professional, flexible, patient and she made it fun! After 21 years we are now legally married. It was a no brainer, as to who we would ask to be our celebrant. Ali was our number one choice and she exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ali, you're the best!!!

Ali was amazing! She made the whole process not only seamless but exciting and fun. She made us feel so comfortable the whole time, from the first meet and especially on the day! Nothing was too much trouble and you can tell straight away she really knows and loves what she is does. Have already been recommending her to everyone!

Ali is extremely professional and such a lovely human being. She was extremely supportive throughout the process and was flexible with venue. She was well prepared with the documents and made sure everything was ready on the day of wedding. Highly recommend her services!

Ali is amazing! My husband and I didn't really have any idea on what to expect/what to do in regards to our ceremony and Ali made the entire process so fun and easy. We can't thank her enough!

I couldn't recommend Ali enough. Ali was professional and organised from day 1. From organising meetings, to paperwork, to running through the ceremony day, she didn't leave one thing out. We felt completely at ease from the day we met up. She portrayed us to family and friends exactly as we are and added so much fun to her ceremony speech, making it a truly memorable day. We couldn't thank you enough Ali! Love love love! Bonus: she has the cutest furbaby, Taffy!

We are so happy we chose Ali to be our wedding celebrant. Not only does she have a warm, friendly nature, she's also professional and organised. Ali offered us sound advice and helped us bring to life our vision for our wedding day. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.

Ali you were a total legend every step of the way and we honestly can’t thank you enough for agreeing to marry us! You were the epitome of professional, reassuring and relaxed throughout the whole process and we feel so lucky to have had you supporting us on our special day. You made it clear from the start that your priority was to ensure Macka and I both felt completely at ease during what was a very exciting, emotional and nervous time and you did that in spades.

We can’t thank you enough for being such an important part of our day, you were far more than a celebrant you were a friend and I would recommend you to anyone!!

Thank you Ali for being the perfect fit for us! As soon as we walked into your home we felt calm and excited. It felt really natural chatting to you and opening up about us, our history and our family. Sharing stories that brought us to tears on our first meeting said a lot about you and how comfortable you make people feel. You were professional but natural and we knew after that first meeting you were the perfect person for us! We trusted you and your communication was amazing. Our ceremony was perfect and full of so much emotion. All of our guests commented on this and so much of that had to do with you and how well you knew us after such a short amount of time. You were incredible with our children and all of our guests. Thank you doesn't seem enough. But, thank you! For all that you did for us and especially for making us husband and wife! It was the best day ever. One we will never forgot and you are a lady that will always hold a special place in our hearts because of the role you played. xx

Ali was the best choice for our celebrant. We got married in November 2019 and she put in extra effort to find out about the whole 10 years of our relationship. She created a ceremony that was sentimental, relaxed and unique to us which we loved. The ceremony was a celebration of our whole journey together and not just the big day. Ali was super kind and very helpful with the ceremony organisation! We are so grateful to have had her at our wedding. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
