We found Sue early on in our search for a celebrant and after speaking with her over the phone we felt no need to look any further! Sue makes it very known that she is an advocate for equality and as a same sex couple, working with allies is both important and comforting. The process that Sue has refined enables her to write incredibly personalised and meaningful ceremonies. I was in tears reading our first draft! Other than being a phenomenal celebrant, Sue is an awesome person and an asset to anyone getting married. She is more than willing to lend her knowledge of great local suppliers, her research on current trends and her advice when things might not be going as planned. On the day, we had so many guests comment that our ceremony was like no other they had been to. Perfect length, tailored to us and presented with eloquence, wit and a warm heart. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Sue was the most amazing wedding celebrant you could EVER ask for! She went above and beyond not just in the ceremony but also in helping the day run as perfectly as possible.Sue totally got us, how we wanted our ceremony to be read out and our vibe for the day just spot on. We could not recommend Sue highly enough to any future couples looking for a celebrant with that x factor. Thank you so so much Sue xxxxx

We were lucky enough to come across Sue when we were planning our wedding! We had no idea what we were looking for exactly, we just knew we wanted someone who was down to earth and someone who could create a ceremony that reflected us. After our first conversation with Sue over the phone (who was travelling at the time, but still so invested and wanting to get to know us), we knew instantly that she was the celebrant for us. Throughout the organisation and lead up to our wedding day, Sue kept in contact with us, gave us various options for our ceremony and was available to answer any questions. Sue is a wonderful and beautiful person who delivered what our guests have said was “the best ceremony we have been to”. She absolutely nailed it and we couldn’t have been happier. Thanks so much Sue!

Sue was great to work with. She is very friendly, professional and did a great job individualizing the process and ceremony to match our personalities. Sue was great at postponing our ceremony for unforeseen light rain and went above and beyond to look after an ill family member/guest during our group photo. Thank you Sue!

Sue was the most amazing celebrant for our wedding day. From the very first phone call, numerous emails and meetings with all my questions Sue was extremely helpful, professional and put together the most amazing and personal ceremony with light-hearted humour and laughter we were after. We had so many compliments from our guests of how amazing and relaxed everything was and how smoothly it went. We couldn’t recommend Sue enough to anyone looking for the best celebrant for them.

Sue was amazing as our wedding celebrant. Sue made the whole process fun, easy and smooth with a lot of laughs along the way. Sue knew us well and put a lot of effort in getting to know our story, which reflected in the ceremony as many people commented how she got it spot on. Sue was perfect as our celebrant and I would recommend her to everyone.

Thank goodness for Celebrant Sue! My now husband and I decided to have a surprise wedding with fairly short notice and Sue made herself available. She even delayed a personal road trip just so she could marry us! Sue's paperwork is super helpful and very thorough! My husband and I had no idea and Sue coached us through the whole process. Sue made a point of requesting photos of our family members so she could introduce herself on the night which we thought was just so lovely. We loved Sue's company so much that we asked her stay for the rest of the night! I can’t recommend Sue highly enough, our night would not of gone as smoothly without her. Thank you so much Sue for making our surprise wedding dreams come to life!

My partner and I hadn't been to many weddings and had little understanding of wedding ceremonies and the legal requirements, etc but hiring Sue as our celebrant early on in the planning process was such a great help! She gauged what type of ceremony we wanted early on and guided us through the whole process right up to the big day. Her experience, passion, thoughtfulness and expertise was so appreciated and we received many comments from our guests about our 'wonderful celebrant' & 'you must thank your celebrant for us, we just loved her'. Sue is also a local of the Bellarine and knows the area well including many of the wedding venues and staff and she enjoys working with other wedding vendors such as the photographer and florist. I HIGHLY recommend Sue as a very competent and friendly wedding celebrant.

Sue was friendly, helpful and professional from the day we met her to the day of the wedding. Sue made us feel completely at ease and relaxed, and she was so helpful with ideas to design our ceremony. Sue completely nailed our style and personality to provide us with a meaningful and personalised ceremony which we thought was absolutely perfect. All our guests commented about how wonderful the ceremony was - just the perfect amount of romance and laughs. Sue also worked great with our other suppliers and photographer to help everything go smoothly on the day. I cannot recommend Sue highly enough, and I'm sure if you choose Sue as your wedding celebrant you will not be disappointed.

We absolutely loved the ceremony and so did everyone else. We’ve had plenty of positive feedback about Sue and how everything went, thank you so much for reflecting us in our ceremony. Everyone says Sue easy going, but it is true and one of the reasons we chose her. Sue has great wedding knowledge and super helpful when we needed it too, which was awesome 😊 Thank you, again.

Sue was so fantastic throughout the whole wedding process. She communicated to us clearly what we needed to do, from a legal stand point, and was warm and funny. She set the tone for our ceremony beautifully, and helped to create a wonderful flow. We loved how accommodating Sue was, so we were able to have the unique ceremony we wanted. She facilitated our hand fasting, didn’t blink when the crowd showed up covered in tattoos, rolled with my mum as she smoke cleansed the ceremony space, myself, and the crowd, with a hand made cleansing stick. Never batted an eyelid when our friend hand drew runes in the dirt beside the altar. She barely even flinched when I pulled a knife from my bra during rehearsal when we needed to cut some ribbon! Sue is delightful and charming, an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s like your favourite aunty and makes you feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you meet her. We love you Sue!

Thank you so much for being an integral part of our wedding. It was a really special day, one that we will never forget. We can not recommend you more highly. You were personable, witty, fun, but serious when needed to be. You captured our story so well. Our guests also commented on how well you delivered the ceremony and also how patient you were with the young ones who were a part of the day. Much love Krys and Dan xx

Sue was absolutely brilliant! From our very first meeting with her right up to our wedding day we were in very safe hands. Her warm, friendly, personable nature made her an absolute pleasure to work with and she is a true craftswoman with words. Sue listened to what we wanted and nailed "our story", delivering a beautiful ceremony. She allowed us to create our own ceremony and if you have no idea what you want, she's there every step of the way to explain everything and guide you. We cannot recommend her services highly enough.

Trying to plan a wedding on the other side of the world could have been a real challenge, but with Sue involved it seemed so simple. From identifying possible locations and making special trips to take photos, recommending the restaurant, Sue went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was planned to perfection. Despite the fact that she was not able to meet us in person until the week before the big day, Sue still managed to get our story spot on, it was like she had known us for years. There was laughter and there were tears, everyone had the best time. Thank you for making our dream beach wedding come true! Matt and Char xxx

Sue is such a bubbly person from the first meet to the last! She gives you endless ideas for your ceremony, but always stresses that it is YOURS and to do what you and your partner wish, there are no right or wrong ways. My partner and I found her so helpful throughout our whole wedding planning. She didn’t stop at being our celebrant, she recommended our cake supplier and our hair and make up artist. Sue is very prompt in replying to messages and puts her heart and soul into every single ceremony she works on. At our reception, I had a guest come to me and comment on how much everyone loved our celebrant. This guest was from Torquay and has had many family members marry in the area, and she said 'none of their celebrants had anything on this lady.' That just made me smile ear to ear. My partner and I couldn’t speak more highly of Sue and everything she has done for us! Thanks again Sue, credit to you and your business xox
