BEST Celebrant ever! We are so grateful we chose you to be our celebrant, you gave us a perfect ceremony.

Your guidance throughout the whole process was impeccable, from the slay your vows PDF to the in-person meeting to go over the ceremony- you were so helpful and supportive!

Maria, we cannot thank you enough for bringing your extensive amount of dedication, expertise and contagious happy and positive energy, to our wedding day.

All of our guests commented on how excellent you were.

A special mention is essential to the way you told our love story, you truly painted a mental picture and filled it with emotion, making it extra special for not only our guests, but us, taking us back to those early days of our love story.

So again, thank you so much from Tegan and Michael. We adored working with you and we will be recommending you to anyone looking for a celebrant. You're amazing.

Firstly, Maria is the most incredible celebrant! My husband Damian and I had the most wonderful experience working with Maria.

While we initially thought this was going to be an overwhelming process, from our very first meeting, Maria made us feel so comfortable and organised! Her communication was incredible and we felt so looked after, and stress-free throughout the whole process!

Maria’s kind, warm, confident personality and professionalism was so clear on the day, and our guests were singing her praises!! Her expertise and guidance was so valuable in preparing our personal vows and in creating a ceremony with the perfect vibe for our wedding!

Confirmed the best celebrant! Thank you Maria! Could not recommend more!!

Maria is AMAZING! Wonderful celebrant with so much enthusiasm. She made us feel at ease from our first enquiry to after our wedding. She is informative, knowledgeable and attentive to any questions or assistance you require.

When meeting Maria in person you can see how passionate she is about being your celebrant and making your day special to suit your needs. She was extremely helpful with vows and talking us through with what our day would look like.

It felt like Maria planned our entire wedding as she had done so much for us. She is truly a wonderful person and a brilliant celebrant I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Maria!

Working with Maria was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Maria is a true professional, and her personality shone through, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.

Maria’s communication skills were impeccable, she was always prompt and clear in her responses and proof reading our vows was an extra special touch.

On the day of the ceremony, everyone was impressed by how smoothly everything went. Guests commented on how beautifully it was conducted and how it perfectly captured our story and spirit.

Maria supported our vision every step of the way, offering helpful suggestions and being flexible with our requests. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Thank you, Maria for making our special day so memorable!

Maria was incredible! From the moment I reached out she was so friendly and professional, we first met via Zoom and Lyall and I knew that she was going to be the perfect celebrant.

When Lyall and I met Maria in person to go through the ceremony plan and other relevant documents we both felt so comfortable and she made us even more excited for our big day.

No request was too big or too small for Maria, she made sure that we had everything we needed and helped in anyway she could throughout the wedding planning journey.

Flash forward to our wedding day, Maria was welcoming, friendly and organised. We kept the love story that she had written a surprise, which made it even more special when we heard it on our wedding day. Maria was the best celebrant that we could have asked for!

Maria was the creator of our beautiful ceremony. From the smallest details in our Love Story to the most important parts on the day, Maria did not miss a thing.

Maria kept us on track and pulled every detail together for us leading up to the big day. When she turned up on our wedding day, she picked it all up and took everything in her stride. Everything quickly fell into place.

Maria, you are so warm, graceful, beautifully presented and professionally spoken. There’s no way I ever imagined you would create the beautiful vision that evolved on our day. WOW!

Thank you for your patience, dedication and all the extra little things you did for us. You are without a doubt made for this and everyone was captivated by your performance on the day.

Ben and I wish you all the very best and thank you from the bottom of our heart.

From the moment we first FaceTimed Maria, we knew she was the one—we instantly connected with her relaxed and friendly vibe. She was incredibly organized, and communicated with us every step of the way.

We loved that she embraced our culture by wearing a traditional Indian outfit, which added a special touch to our day.

Thanks to Maria, all our ceremony details, including our vows, were taken care of well in advance, so we didn’t have to stress about anything. She created a relaxed, and fun vibe that made our ceremony unforgettable.

We really appreciate all the efforts she has made for us over the past six months. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Maria!!

Maria you are amazing! From the first Insta message, to the zoom meeting & then finally marrying us, you have been so wonderful. You can tell you really love what you do & it shines through.

We have had so many comments on how amazing the ceremony was. So personal & funny, which is exactly what we wanted.

If you’re looking for a cele who will hold your hand through the whole process, help with your vows, share ideas & make your day extra magical, Maria is your lady!

Thank you again, you were amazing!

EMMA:

Maria! I cannot thank you enough for your incredible service as our celebrant. You were more than that! You were with us every single step of the way - your guides and emails honestly made it the easiest, most fun and enjoyable experience for us. On the day, you were there bright and early, helping and added so many personal touches and on top of that your positive, vibrant energy, and knowing exactly when to be emotional meant our ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of. Everyone commented on how amazing you were. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

TOM:

Maria was amazing from the start, she helped my wife and I create such a special and personalised ceremony. Her energy is exactly what you want in a celebrant, high octane, engaging and fun! She guided us through vow prep, how to lodge name changes, more paperwork and was always a phone call or email away if we had questions. I highly recommend getting Maria as your celebrant for your special day, you won’t be disappointed!

It's been over two months since my wedding day, so this review is inexcusably late. However, I feel it is imperative to share with the world - or at least all brides-to-be in the Brisbane area - that Maria is the perfect celebrant and MC who helped make our big day the best day of our lives.
Maria was organised and helpful every step of the way along our wedding planning journey. Not only did she provide a streamlined way for us to plan the run sheets for our ceremony and reception, her method of getting our love story to describe in her speech became a treasured memory for my wife and I. Filling out our love story questionnaire made us reflect on our journey as a couple, and hearing pieces of it again during our ceremony (and again when we watch our wedding video!) always takes us back to when we first wrote it for Maria.
As our celebrant and MC, Maria kept our wedding running smoothly from begininng to end, and all our guests loved her! I love that she took a photo of our guests seated at the ceremony before we arrived! It's a photo of all our favourite people together that we will treasure forever.
Thank you Maria for helping us plan every little detail, for running the day for us, and for doing it all with your infectious energy and enthusiasm. Please do yourselves a favour and consider Maria for your celebrant and MC - you won't regret it!

Maria! What a pleasure you were to tell our love story and guide us for our wedding. You assisted us on how to write our vows, you told our love story beautifully and you even now still continue to help us after the wedding with documents and name changes.

There was a slight issue with audio on the day but you handled the situation so professionally that it was not an issue at all.

Everyone loved you as our celebrant and some even noted your details down for their future wedding.

Unfortunately we don’t need a celebrant again but don’t worry because we will be recommending you to all our friends and family.

We wish you all the best for your future.

Maria was the perfect celebrant for our wedding day. She was organised, professional and prepared throughout the entire process.

She balanced this expertly with her warm, bubbly personality and many of our guests commented on how engaging she was.

Maria took our guidance with the ceremony and was happy to work alongside us to make sure it was truly a representation of who we are as a couple.

Maria also followed up quickly after the wedding, to ensure all the documentation and official side of things were completed on time. Her handy 'how to' guides were extremely helpful (especially for my husband!).

We would highly recommend Maria to any engaged couples!

Thanks Maria!

Maria was the most perfect Celebrant for us!! What an absolute PRO.

We chose her because she was bright and bubbly, but also incredibly thoughtful and aware of what kind of vibe we were aiming for with our Ceremony.

She helped us immensely with our runsheet and program for the day and gave us a heap of guidance about what to expect and prepare for before the big day.

I happily recommend Maria! <3

Maria is a wonderful celebrant. Maria really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our story. She crafted a gorgeous ceremony and delivered it to perfection. We also had Maria be our MC for the evening and again she was exceptional. Everything moved along smoothly and our day was just perfect. If you are looking for someone who is going to tailor your special day to your needs Maria is your gal!

Thank you so much for being a part of our day I could not of imagined it any other way and it was gorgeous.
