WEDDING Testimonials
“If I could give her 10 stars I would. From first contact Cherie was fantastic and so easy to get along with. Cherie was organised and gave us advice and let us choose the way we wanted our ceremony to be. Cherie was amazing and my new husband and I are so happy we chose her to be our celebrant, she had a calming voice and made us feel at ease about any nerves we had about the wedding, she was quick to respond to the emails/texts and was great with giving advice and options for our day. If we ever renew our vows I will definitely be calling her! Thank you so much Cherie you helped to make our day perfect 😊 '‘
