The Best Celebrant We Could’ve Asked For!
My partner and I immediately hit it off with Barbara the first time we’ve met/emailed. We were having a small, Star Wars-ish wedding and she leapt into the concept 110%. She even dressed in Jedi robes for the ceremony! She held our hand throughout the entire process and made what would be a boring process so much more fun! All of our guests loved her, too!
Would have her as our celebrant again 11/10.

Incredible talent and so accommodating!
We were referred to Barbara by a friend who had been a client of hers previous. We came with a tall order: Could you create a custom ceremony for us, perform it for us in Victoria to legally marry us, give it to us to take to Mexico so that someone who has never preformed a wedding can complete it for us in front of friends and family!? Haha.
Barbara has an incredible vision when it comes to her writing, she was able to piece together the information we provided her to create a ceremony that felt so personal and specific to us - it was like she had known us our entire relationship. Not only was it beautiful, but she went above and beyond by creating a ceremony that could be easily duplicated by someone with no experience. Barbara went out of her way to create a book with the ceremony that also included cue's and helpful tips for our family member performing it in Mexico. We couldn't have been happier with the result and will be recommending her again and again! You will be so happy with your choice to hire Barbara. Thank-you for everything!

Amazing! The best officiant ever!
I can’t express my immense gratitude to Barbara. From our first meeting we knew our wedding ceremony would be special and TAILORED to us . In my wildest dreams I couldn’t imagine a more perfect ceremony. It was meaningful, beautiful, emotional, magical and funny. My guest still talk about how it was the most romantic and beautiful ceremony they had EVER been to. You will not be disappointed with Barbara. Seriously. She’s so easy going and very professional. She does her research and includes things you would never even think about . Everyone participated in our ceremony and they felt a part of it. Honestly , 5 start isn’t enough. Thank you so much Barbara. Thank you for making our day the best day ever. Spencer & Shasha

#bestdayever
Omg Barbara was so amazing! She worked with us over zoom calls numerous times to create our story and nailed it! She made our entire wedding party and guests laugh and they are still continuing to comment how awesome she was.

Incredible
Barbara was absolutely lights-out fantastic. She was well-organized, well-articulated, well-spoken, punctual, and a pleasure to deal with throughout the planning process. Her creativity and knack for getting to know us in a couple of short meetings we're truly impressive. The ceremony itself went off without a hitch and we felt like we had really made the ceremony largely about us as a couple while still keeping everyone entertained and engaged throughout the whole ceremony. Several people approached us after the ceremony and said that it was the best ceremony they had ever been to. Barbara is an absolute rock-star.

Every guest agreed, best ceremony they have ever been to.
If you want a custom ceremony, that speaks directly to who you are as a couple, dynamically engages your family and friends, and is set up for amazing photos, working with Barbara is exactly what you should do.
From the first phone call, Barbara was personable and lovely and made us feel like comfortable and taken care of. She seamlessly Incorporated our ideas with her own.
In preparing for the ceremony she sends a number of questions, which she uses in great detail to build a one of a kind, dream ceremony, unique to you as a couple. When I first read ours, I laughed, cried, and was simply overcome with how well she got us as a couple.
In the ceremony she, thoughtfully moves around to ensure the photographer can capture the couple, without her being in it.
All of our guests talked about how amazing she was.
She was the best.
Thank you for the best ceremony ever.

Love was the Center Stage
Barbara did an exceptional job of grounding our family and creating space for us to be fully present in the moment. Everyone felt valued, sharing in this experience with us. Our ceremony brought together our favourite themes and by exploring these our family and closest friends were able to glimpse into our more private and tender sides. It was impossible to not feel the love in that space, it over flowed from every person. We couldn't be more thankful to Barbara for creating such a brilliant ceremony for us.

Amazing, highly recommend working with her!
Barbara was a delight to work with and held space for our ceremony in such a beautiful way! She worked with us to create a ceremony that reflected our values, and brought new ideas to make the day very special. She is a professional, with a great understanding of how to create a non-traditional ceremony in a beautiful way. Thanks to here, the ceremony was filled with love, community, and meaningful moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Meaningful, memorable, magical!
It was an absolute pleasure having Barbara as our officiant. From the first time we chatted, all the way to the day of our wedding, Barbara made sure that the process was meaningful and memorable - and a lot of fun! Together, we were able to create the most beautiful ceremony that perfectly matched our style and the ceremony setting. We would highly recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a hands-on officiant who really cares about her couples and makes the extra effort to ensure each ceremony has that magical touch :-)
Krista + Piotr.

Wedding Ceremony Perfection
Barbara officiated our wedding on Mt Douglas (Victoria) and it really was everything we hoped for! We live in Australia so planning a wedding from overseas can have its’ challenges but working with Barbara made it so much easier. From our first Skype session we were confident that Barbara would help us develop a ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. We planned a small wedding and wanted to have family involvement – we tossed around some ideas and Barbara pulled it all together. She is enthused about us, our families and our story, and it really shows. On the day Barbara was incredible – simultaneously it was as though she had done this thousands of times yet delivered our ceremony in a way which was truly ‘us’ (even amongst the chaos of having small children cliffside). There was laughter, happy tears and big smiles all around. We highly recommend Barbara for your special day, you won’t be disappointed!
