Jane and Tom – ‘Stones of the Yarra Valley’, Coldstream, April 2018
Thanks again so much for Saturday – one of Tom’s uncles thought you were an old friend and thought that we had known each other for ages even before we were engaged because of how warm and lovely you were.
Ashlea and Sascha – ‘Riverstone’, Coldstream, April 2018
Felicity was a dream to work with. She listened to exactly what we wanted out of our ceremony and captured it perfectly! Our ceremony was beautifully written. Felicity checked in with us at each step to ensure we were always comfortable with what was happening. Even with our day being windy, Felicity provided great guidance and ensured we were comfortable with what was being proposed. We recommend Felicity to anyone!
Maryanne and Bailey – Ray Bramham Gardens, Preston, March 2018
Dear Felicity,
Words can’t express (seriously) our gratitude to you for steering the way through what could have been an utter disaster with the weather, to a stunning and precious memorable event.
I don’t get out much but I was knocked out by you acknowledging the traditional owners of the land at the commencement of proceedings. I hadn’t seen it done at a wedding before but it was beautiful. And everything you said about the lovely two showed how much time and attention to detail you’d put in to writing the words for the ceremony. You really got those two I reckon. And as for your godlike qualities, we knew you were a wedding angel, but when you orchestrated the weather, complete with thunder and lightning bolts just as you pronounced them married and then calmly invited everyone into the gazebo just as the rain came down in buckets was unforgettable. That really was an amazing few moments.
Thanks so much for being there and doing such a superb job.
love
one of the Mums
And from the Bride via Instagram – “It was the best ceremony ever! Love love love @felicityjohnstoncelebrant thank you for a perfect start to our married life.”
Annika and David – Glasshaus Inside, Richmond, March 2018
Dear Felicity,
Thank you so much again for all the hard work you put into our wedding. Your ceremony was delivered with such warmth and style. Plus you got some nice laughs. You set the tone of the evening and the rest of the night was everything we’d hoped for and more. We had such a ball and are still walking around on clouds.
Many of our friends and family said that it was the best wedding they had been to! We even had people saying to us afterwards, “ I’ve never really wanted to get married but after seeing this wedding I feel like I want this too”. So thumbs up all around!
Charlotte and Jamie – My Garden in Northcote, February 2018
It was lovely meeting you – thank you so much for marrying us in your garden. It was really special… so leafy and lovely. And thank you for all the incredible follow up work you did for us.
Louise and Jake – Cumulus Upstairs, Melbourne, August 2018
Felicity was the perfect marriage celebrant for us. She was relaxed and so friendly. Felicity took the time to get to know us and what we wanted in our wedding ceremony. Needless to say, our ceremony was a true representation of us. She walked us patiently through every step of the marriage process which made it much less daunting. If you’re after a lovely, thoughtful celebrant who will make your ceremony perfect and personal, Felicity is for you!
Alex and Nick – The Dome, Melbourne, June 2018
‘Hi Felicity,
Nick and I just wanted to thank you for the brilliant job you did on Saturday. We really did have the time of our lives and you set the day off to a flying start. Thank you for making the whole process so easy and capturing our special moments and making it all so personal! We are on such a high and are so pleased you were there on our special day.’

Chris and Anna – Heide Museum of Modern Art, Bulleen, April 2018
Felicity was absolutely lovely from the first time we spoke to her. She spent a lot of hours getting to know us and customising the ceremony to fit our story and responded to emails like a flash of lightning which is very reassuring when you’re deep in wedding preparation!
I would recommend Felicity to anyone who is on the lookout for a celebrant. She really helped make the whole process less stressful.

‘We just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help with our wedding, it was an absolutely perfect day from start to finish (despite the nerves and stress). We had so many people come up to us and say what a fabulous job you did!’
Nik and Nadia – ‘Sunnystones’ Bacchus Marsh, April 2018
Hi Felicity, We just wanted to say how absolutely thrilled with the ceremony and how it went. I can’t even tell you how many people commented to us afterwards about how fantastic it was – I’m sure that’s a rarity for the ceremony to be a real highlight but it certainly was, so personal and romantic and just perfect!
Penny and Michael – Panama Bar and Dining Room, Fitzroy, March 2018
Michael and I literally had the greatest day! Everything was spot on! We had so much fun… We made sure we had some one on one time together, we ate soooo much food, we drank an ample amount and danced heartily! On the honeymoon we both agreed that our only regret was that it was our wedding, because we reckon it would’ve been so much fun to have been a guest at it hahah!
Everybody we’ve spoken to has insisted its the best wedding they’ve been too. I’m incredibly happy and proud of how the day came together… It was literally everything we had hoped for and then some!
You were truly wonderful to work with, you made everything so easy for us, and your advice and help along the way was incredibly valued! We have had an abundance of compliments specifically about you, and everyone loved how personal and ‘us’ the ceremony was… It was such the perfect mix of love and LOL’s
Thanks again for all your help! You’re one in a million!

Ian and Ros – at home in Glen Iris, March 2018
Oh Felicity, Thank you for so much for everything. Ian and I were overwhelmed by how many of our friends commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. There were many compliments on YOU, ticking all the boxes of things you mentioned pre wedding -not too long, bit of background, light and breezy, audience participation, and your relaxed, easy going personality.
Whilst I remember very little of the whole evening (?!) I do remember everyone commenting on how beautiful everything was, so thank you so much.
Sarah and Brett – Taradale, March 2018
Thank you again for being part of our wedding day. From the moment we started speaking with you over the phone we knew we wanted to work with you (we didn’t even need to meet face to face for that!) we instantly felt like we knew you, and you understood what we wanted straight away. You made the whole process so easy and simple, explained everything so well and kept us calm and relaxed throughout. We had SO many compliments about the ceremony and about you in particular – everyone said it was so well written and spoken, and funny and personal. Everything we wanted. Thank you again.

Nicky and Will – Glenlyn, February 2018
Oh Felicity, you were perfect! You gave us everything we wanted from the wedding ceremony. You spoke really well and clearly – too often people rush through 😊
As Will just said to me, if you’re lucky, you only get one shot at a wedding in life, and he (we!) are really thrilled with how ours turned out – the ceremony was a really important part of that, so thanks for doing such an amazing job 🙂

Andrew and Nakisha – ‘The Willows’, Melbourne, January 2018
Dear Felicity, thank you for such an outstanding wedding ceremony! It was just perfect as was the whole day. You were incredibly knowledgeable and informative, to the point, organised, always on hand if needed, supportive and just lovely. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and you did an amazing job through the whole process and on the day. We can’t thank you enough!
Marg and Barb – Northcote, January 2018
We have been together for forty years and when the Marriage Equality Legislation passed on 7 December we knew we wanted to be part of history and get married on the first day possible. Felicity helped us make this happen.
We opted for an intimate “Legals Only” ceremony held in Felicity’s lovely garden with just ourselves and our son and his fiancée present. It was perfect!
Felicity was professional, confident, experienced and very reassuring at every stage.
She was also as excited as we were about marrying on the first day. We exchanged countless texts and emails in the month between signing the Notice of Intent to Marry and the actual ceremony on 9 January.
We felt like we were working together with an old and trusted friend.
During the ceremony she showed her absolute delight at the new definition of marriage as being between two people rather than between a man and a woman with a fist pump and a “Yes!”
Her charm, charisma and genuine warmth made us feel very special. She’s the Wedding Angel!
Fran and Henry – The Dome, 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, July 2017
Felicity, we just wanted to write to you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most exquisite marriage ceremony we could ever have dreamed of!! We felt like we were in the hands of a good friend. You were so kind, considerate & supportive of us, we felt immediately relaxed in your presence & loved every moment of our wedding! And people have truly not stopped raving about you. We were so sorry we didn’t get the chance to thank you in person before being swept away in the thick of it all, but just wanted to reach out and make sure you knew how appreciative we were!
Much love, Fran & Henry xx

Cassie and Chris, Fitzroy Town Hall, May 2017
You are beyond amazing @fjcelebrant thank you for putting up with us two cyclones. Everyone loved the ceremony, even Chris’s catholic nan said she never wants to go to a church wedding again! So perfect ❤️❤️
And from Chris’s parents:
Hi Felicity,
We just wanted to say a huge ‘ Thankyou’ to you for making Chris and Cassie’s wedding day so wonderful. The ceremony was perfect and the way you officiated was just so special. It was actually the first civil ceremony we have been to and we were blown away by how personal and inclusive the ceremony was. We were extremely proud of them both on the day and loved all the personal touches you encouraged; from high fiving or hugging Chris as the bridesmaids entered to cheering when Cassie arrived and drinks to go with the registry signing . We have been to a number of weddings over the past few years and although they were all beautiful they were a conveyer belt of ‘in/ out / next!’ Chris and Cassie’s marriage ceremony was perfect in every way. I know they both felt so lucky to have you as their celebrant and we totally agree.
Thank you again for making their day and ours so special.

Jane and Jol, Friends of Mine, Richmond, April 2017
Hi Felicity,
Just a quick note to thank you so much for being an important part of our wedding day. Everything ran so smoothly, and you helped make it a day that we both enjoyed so much. The ceremony reflected our personalities perfectly, and we both got a lot of comfort from knowing you had our back. We had quite a few people comment on what a great job you did and what a lovely demeanour you have. It definitely wouldn’t have been the same without you.
Love Jane and Jol
Anthony and Lani, Garden of St Erth, Blackwood, April 2017

Many of our friends and family members commented on how perfect the tone of the ceremony was. Due to your professionalism and supportive nature we were able to achieve this.
If word or mouth counts for anything we will only have ringing words of endorsement for your services.
Many thanks,

Janet and David, Abbotsford Convent, Abbotsford, March 2017
Dearest Felicity
Thank you for being part of our special team. We have loved working with you. You are so on top of everything, responsive, thorough, and so warm. I remember very vividly that moment you came into the bridal room to see how I was doing, and to tell me it was showtime. That moment felt so surreal. I also remember me finishing my vows, handing the microphone back to you, and making eye contact with you. It’s those little moments I remember with so much fondness. Really the best day ever.
Hugs,
Janet and David

Kylie and Elad, Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, March 2017
I’m very sorry it’s taken us so long to contact you to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for being such an amazing celebrant on our wedding day.
As you can imagine getting married a lot of people offered a lot of suggestions and advice – you being recommend to us as a celebrant was one of the best pieces of advice we received!
Not only did you tailor the ceremony to fit our style you made everything very easy and simply to follow, you guided us through the whole process and answered all our questions without making us feel we were hassling you. The feedback from our guest about the way you held the ceremony was amazing, you keep it fun and flowing and was perfect for a garden wedding. I have no doubt if we wanted a more formal wedding you would have been just as brilliant.
Oummy and Jeremy, Private Residence, Glen Iris, March 2017
Hi Felicity, Thanks again for being our celebrant – you were wonderful. We used your script (minus the legals!) for our friend to read as the celebrant in our Bangkok ceremony. He did a great job (not quite as good as you, though!!). All the feedback from our Melbourne Ceremony was incredibly positive – everyone loved it and it couldn’t have been better. There’s a couple more in the family who still need to be married, so we’ll most likely call on your services again because everyone was so impressed.

Felicity is a fantastic celebrant! Meetings with her were always relaxed and she quickly understood our personalities and style. The wedding felt very personal and moving. Felicity has a calming presence and guided us through the whole process. We are very grateful to her for making our wedding day truly wonderful!
Nick and Jess, Private Residence, Mount Martha, January 2017
Dear Felicity, Thank you very much for being such a special part of our wedding day. We had the best time, and it definitely would not have been the same without you. The ceremony went so smoothly, largely because you were so organised and calm, and because you spoke with such honesty and humour.
We are very grateful for the role you played in our day. Thank you again for being so friendly and easy to work with.
Shel and Dan, Alowyn Gardens, Yarra Glen, December 2016
Dan and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your guidance, organisation, advice, support and calming presence in the lead up to and on the day of our wedding last year. We knew from the minute we met you that we wanted you to marry us and we are so very glad that you did. We loved everything about the ceremony and how personal you made it feel, and so many of our guests have commented on this too. It was incredibly special and heartfelt and reflected us to a T. The speed with which you wrote the ceremony drafts and replied to emails truly put our minds at ease as we knew you had everything was under control and we didn’t have to worry. Thank you so much for all of this and for playing such an important role in our journey together.

Alice and Rowan, Hann’s Creek Estate Vineyard, Merricks North, December 2016
Thank you Felicity for your service to both Alice and myself. Your insight, professionalism and flexibility in delivering the ceremony was first-class. From our first meeting to well-after the ceremony, you have provided all the necessary elements to ensure our transition into a married couple would be as smooth as possible. We were exceedingly lucky that you were willing to incorporate elements of French into the ceremony with limited fuss as it enabled Alice’s family to certainly feel more engaged in the ceremony.
Even with the tyranny of distance (we live a considerable way from Melbourne) as well as our juggling of two energetic, little boys; you were able to provide suitable and relaxed meetings at our convenience not to mention the email correspondence at regular intervals leading up to the big day. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the ceremony we wanted and it set the tone for the rest of the wedding/reception. Thank you again Felicity and best wishes for the future.’
Emma and Ethan, Alowyn Gardens, Yarra Glen, December 2016
Hey Felicity, as you’ve probably gathered from the huge amount of feedback I’ve left for you here, there and everywhere, Ethan and I were absolutely thrilled on Saturday. You did the perfect job – the ceremony was perfect for us, and something we’ll never forget. So many of our guests commented on how great you were, including my sister who is storing you in her memory bank for future reference.We loved that you really took the time to get to know us as a couple. You were professional, fun and awesome with communication. We’d absolutely recommend you to anyone.

Erin and Tim, Whispering Vines Cafe, Trofeo Estate, Dromana, November 2016
Felicity, Tim and I can’t thank you enough for your fantastic work on our wedding, including the lead up to the day. You were organised and professional from the very beginning, making all that paperwork and planning a lot more palatable!
We really appreciate that you took the time to get to know us from day one – you learnt about us as individuals, as well as how we work together as a couple. This made for a truly authentic ceremony and a genuine celebration of our relationship. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests on how fun and relaxed the ceremony was (which was what we requested), and how you did a really great job. You definitely set the tone for a fun reception too – it was nothing but good vibes really! We will continue to highly recommend you to others.

You were so great at making sure our ceremony was exactly as we wanted it to be – making suggestions along the way, without being dominating.

With lots of love,

Tum and I found Felicity to be very professional, extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. She exudes so much warmth that everyone feel at ease. We had a very memorable ceremony in her beautiful Northcote garden, and I would highly recommend Felicity to anybody.
Daina and Ben – The Baths, Sorrento, December 2014
Felicity, we just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did to make our day perfect. From the minute we met you, we knew you’d quell our nerves and be there for us – you did that and more! We loved every bit of the ceremony, and weren’t the slightest bit nervous in the end. Our families and friends thought it was the best wedding ceremony they’d seen. Thanks so much, and keep in touch. xx
Nikki and Simon – Portsea Pub, December 2014
Thanks so much for being such an important part of our day, Felicity – we couldn’t have asked for more. We have many incredible memories & the rest of the evening was just as magical as the beginning. We had a wonderful day & thanks again for the important role you played.
Jo and Pat – Merricks North Retreat, December 2014
Without a doubt the best part of our wedding was having Felis involved. She made everything so simple and fun! With her help, we were able to identify what was truly important to us on the day and as a result, created something so perfect for our personailities. Felis was there every step of the way making us laugh and feel at ease. During the planning process Felis was also very intuiative, sometimes suggesting changes just as we were thinking them. Couldn’t have asked for a better service and feel really lucky to have such a wonderful woman standing up there with us on the day.
Rhea and Joe – Seawards Gardens, Arthurs Seat, November 2014
Felicity, we just wanted to thank you for being so amazing at our wedding ceremony. It was emotional and heartfelt, but most of all it was such great fun. We loved that there was so much laughter, and goodwill. All in all it was just perfect – and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Melissa and Lachie – at home in Mt Eliza, November 2014
Felicity was more than just a celebrant, she thought of all those little details on your big day you forget when it comes to your ceremony. We literally had little to no idea what we were going to do on our special day, she walked us through step by step and took all the stress away.
Her genuine & positive energy really contributed to the ambiance at our wedding, we’re so glad we found her! Thank you Felicity, you were a joy from start to finish! x
Melody and Glenn – Melbourne Botanic Gardens, September 2014
My husband Glenn and I feel very grateful to have found Felicity to be our celebrant. We met with several Melbourne marriage celebrants but didn’t feel a connection. From our first meeting with Felicity we felt happy and excited to get started planning our ceremony, and Felicity met our enthusiasm and excitement.
Felicity was the perfect balance of professional, friendly and caring throughout the year and was always available to chat/email. Our wedding was perfect and our ceremony was everything we wanted. We couldn’t speak more highly of Felicity and recommend her services to anyone looking for a very special person and perfect celebrant!
Amy and Nick – Epocha Restaurant, Carlton, June 2014
We couldn’t have chosen a better celebrant. From our first meeting, you completely grasped the sort of ceremony we wanted and ensured that we had it. It was warm, funny, personal, sincere and not sentimental – everything we’d hoped for. We were in a bit of a daze at the time, so didn’t notice, but looking back over the photos of our guests laughing and wiping their eyes, it’s clear that the ceremony was well received. Thank you so much, Felicity for contributing to a perfect night and, also, for your calm, kind support in the lead-up.
Lucy and Gordon – Fitzroy, May 2014
Felicity, we truly cannot thank you enough for all your incredible work making our wedding so special. I am so so glad we found you! Thank you for taking so much time to get all the details right, to revise and carefully draft the ceremony for us, and to really get to know us before the wedding. On the day it truly felt as if a dear friend was performing the ceremony for us. Thank you so much! You were amazing!Thanks again so so much and please do keep in touch!Lucy and Gordy xxxx
Lauren and James – Tay Creggan, Hawthorn, April 2014
Dear Felicity,
A quick note to thank you so much for being our celebrant and sharing in our wedding day. We had the most incredible day and adored the ceremony. We felt the ceremony was a beautiful reflection of us, our story and was so inclusive of our family and friends. It was just perfect!! You did such a wonderful job and it wouldn’t have been the same without you there. Many people commented that it was the most natural and beautiful ceremony they had attended – we couldn’t help agreeing with them. You made it all so happy, relaxed and totally memorable.

Mike and Gemma – Zonzos, Yarra Glen, April 2014
Felicity truly made our day so special! We had so much fun leading into the wedding with our catch-ups! And then to hear how she wrote our story was beyond beautiful, she had everyone captivated and on a journey. Mike and I can’t thank her enough. So many people commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and that they just wanted to hear more of our story! She was perfect! Definitely check her out!!!!
Danielle and Lucan – Port Phillip Estate, Red Hill, February 2014
Hi Felicity,
During and sometime since our wedding we had so many positive comments from family and friends about how wonderful you were, which of course we already knew.
As soon as we met you, we knew you would be the right celebrant for us. Your humour, warmth, authenticity and relaxed approach really resonated with us. This absolutely manifested itself throughout the lead up to and during the ceremony, which we love love loved!
We cannot thank you enough and look forward to you seeing you soon to give you that photo we promised!
Danielle and Lucan xx
Will and Jade – Crittenden Estate, Dromana, March 2014
Hi Felicity,
Just wanted to thank you so much for all the help in the lead up to, and for such a great job on the day; we’ve had a look at some video and the ceremony was really funny, relaxed and “us”, which is exactly what we wanted! The feedback we’ve received has been excellent, one of the best weddings a lot of our nearest and dearest have been to. So, thank you – we were very happy with all your fine work!
Julia and Bandar – Docklands, March 2014
Dear Felicity
Bandar and I want to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you gave us last week. It was very heartfelt and I know more than a few people nearly cried (the good sort of tears!) I’m so glad we did the ‘what we like about each other bit’; the guests loved hearing it.
There were so many things to contend with at the venue and I want to thank you for taking all that on, and making the decision to move the ceremony upstairs. From what I’ve gathered, it must have been a fairly stressful period before the ceremony and the fact that it all went ahead in such a successful way is a testament to you. Our sincere thanks.The experience certainly makes me think of the quote, ‘Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.’ Luckily we had the plan B, just in case. In the end, we couldn’t have had a more special day, and we certainly have some stories to tell!
Thanks for all your advice and assistance both during, and in the lead up to, our wedding day. You are such a special Melbourne Wedding Celebrant!
Warmest regards, Julia and Bandar
Kayne and Erin, at home, Mansfield, March 2014

Kelly and Jarrod – Studley Park Boathouse, January 2014
Felicity put together such a personal, lovely ceremony for us. We loved absolutely every part of it; it was just perfect. We had many complimentary comments from guests about how “us” it was. We were so pleased we were able to secure her services for our wedding and will be recommending her to everyone we know who’s getting married.
Thank you Felicity!
Shayne and James – Lumiere, South Melbourne, January 2014

I have spent this last week meaning to email you to say a big thankyou and have only now just found the time. Damo and I had a wonderful day and your ceremony was lovely.The feedback from all our family and guests seem to be that they have truly never been to such a personal, heartfelt wedding!!! Everyone loved it.We were so lucky with the weather too, just perfect. So, thank you so much.
Matt and Erin, Carlton Gardens – November 2013
Felicity was amazing – the ceremony was just perfect. Her approach and professionalism was fantastic. She instantly understood the style of wedding we wanted and more than hit the mark with the ceremony. She also had a great knack of making us feel relaxed and comfortable on our special day and was a key contributor to an awesome day.People commented it was the best ceremony they have seen and a couple of friends have already booked her!
Kylie and Mark, Butleigh Wootton, Kew – November, 2013
When we first met with Felicity we immediately felt we had found someone who carried the elegance and warmth that fitted with how we wanted our wedding to be as a whole, and by inviting us into her beautiful home we were taken by how genuine she was in getting to really know us and the story of our journey together.
Our wedding day was the greatest day of our lives and Felicity gave a very personal ceremony that all our families and friends commented truly captured who we were. We would recommend Felicity to anyone and feel confident in guaranteeing that, far from being a ‘one size fits all’ celebrant, whoever you are and whatever your tastes, with care and grace Felicity will provide a ceremony that reflects you and your day.
Vivien and Benny – at home in Lower Plenty, November 2013Felicity is a very patient and understanding person and that’s what makes her such an amazing wedding celebrant. She helped us with our stories (a lot!) and her delivery was so beautiful, there were few dry eyes amongst the guest and everyone raved about how elegant and heartwarming the ceremony was.
Genna and Tim – The Tangled Maze, Creswick, October 2013
Dear Felicity,Tim and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you wrote for us. The day was just perfect.We really loved how open you were to making the ceremony so personalised to us, including a sand ceremony to involve our 3 year old son Jacob. He thought it was fantastic and kept laughing and spilling the sand everywhere. You made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. I would easily recommend your services to friends and family.

Greg and Louise – at home in the Dandenong Ranges, August 2013
We met with five Melbourne wedding celebrants and what struck us about Felicity was how genuine and warm she was. We were having a small ceremony at home so it was really important to find someone who could really connect with everyone, and that we felt totally comfortable with. She made the process very easy, handling all the paperwork, and through several meetings and emails helped us put together the perfect ceremony for us. She is truly focused on what you want as a couple, and while she was full of ideas, made every effort to ensure we ended up with exactly what we were after. She was wonderful on the day and we are so grateful that we chose her to be our celebrant!
Lucy and Ben, Kyneton Botanic Gardens, March 2013
Hi Felicity,
Just a quick note to thank you for your spectacular efforts at our wedding. From your super organized preparation, to your sunny and flexible approach to all of our needs, through to your amazing performance on the day, I can honestly say that you were totally fabulous. Many guests commented on how friendly you were, and though we were nervous, your smiling face and relaxed approach made the day the best day of our lives.
I love how you helped us to create the ideal ceremony, and your use of language made for an elegant and easy-going service. Though neither Ben nor I were traditionally focused in our opinions on marriage, upon reflection, we realised that on the day itself, things go wrong, and you can’t have it all exactly as you planned, but if you have someone fantastic leading the show, it can be end up being a monumental event in your lives. We have the best memories of a wonderful weekend that you helped to create with us.
Thank you for everything and do stay in touch!
Vicky and Leigh – Gardens House, Melbourne Botanic Gardens, May 2013

On the most amazing day of our lives, we would like to thank you for being there for us.

Shin and Rian – Yarra Valley, March 2013
“As a couple, my husband and I are very relaxed and easy going. Felicity’s style of delivery was perfect to our relaxed wedding.
From the first meet and greet with Felicity, we knew straight away that Felicity was going to capture our story and convey this to our guests in the ceremony the way that was true to us.Throughout the whole process, Felicity’s focus was on us. Her warm and open nature allowed us to tell her our story; from how we met, how my husband proposed and what we valued most about each other. She walked us through the daunting task of legalising our union and made the whole process easy to understand.
On the day the ceremony was fantastic. Strong winds, extreme heat and uninvited harvest tractors did not distract or faze her. Her professional delivery allowed the ceremony to be just as we dreamed.”
Nick and Kylie – Blairgowrie, February 2013
“Felicity is a truly wonderful celebrant, and a delightful person to spend the lead up to, and day of your wedding with. She is all over the technicalities, legalities and logistics, and also has great ideas on how to create a special and meaningful ceremony.
Felicity crafted a very personal, warm and unique ceremony for us. We loved her ability to involve humour and wit, yet still create a sincere and moving ceremony that everybody commented on.
The best feedback we heard about the day was “that ceremony was the most like the couple that I have ever witnessed”, and for this we have Felicity to thank.Felicity is able to be relaxed, heartfelt and laid-back, but at the same time import a sense of gravitas and ceremony. We can’t recommend her enough.”
Olivia and Brent – Sorrento, February 2013
“Working with Felicity was a breath of fresh air; she was so helpful throughout the whole process. From a legal point of view we had no idea what was required and she organised everything for us!! She went above and beyond our expectations including sending us options for vows, readings and ring ceremonies. She created such a fabulous story about Brent and I that was emotional, heartfelt but witty and funny at the same time, exactly what we were hoping for.
On our special day she was organised, efficient, spoke amazingly well and all our guests could hear her and understand every word, which is rare for some of the weddings I have attended.
I would highly recommend Felicity to anyone planning on getting married”
Fiona and Stuart – February 2013
