Even though we chose to have a very simple ceremony with only our witnesses present, Annie made it feel incredibly special and meaningful. She has such a warm, genuine presence and created a beautiful ceremony that was personal, relaxed, and so touching. She made us both feel completely at ease, and the whole experience was everything we had hoped for. Thank you, Annie, for making one of the most important moments of our lives so memorable. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Annie was amazing during our ceremony planning! She was warm and friendly and very easy to speak to which made us pick her right away after speaking to a few celebrants! She also wrote a beautiful and funny script for our ceremony while staying true to who we are and it felt like a very warm and intimate ceremony!

My team from ARLAI Event Co worked with Annie on the weekend and as planners she was a delight to deal with. Professional, kind, accommodating and friendly. (Which is what you want in a celebrant!) - In the lead up her communication was excellent and we would happily work with her again!
