Jason and I knew very early on that having a wedding ceremony that reflected who we were was very important.
Sonia was able to take our vision and bring it to life. She guided us through the process of developing the ceremony with patience, knowledge and kindness. She was able to kept us on track (a challenge since we're both hopeless procrastinators).
In the end, we had the wedding of our dreams, unlike anyone else's and full of the love, honesty and quirkiness that is uniquely us. Thank you so much Sonia for all your hard work and for bringing our dream to life.

Eilidh and Jason, your wedding was one of the most fun ceremonies I have done. It definitely gets first prize for the amount of laughter while we worked on it and during the ceremony on the big day! Thanks for the pleasure!

Sonia was extremely patient and flexible to create a short and sweet ceremony. She was very accomodating with our requirements of having virtual guests who could not be present at the ceremony. I was really happy with everything that turned out in the end, she will make a genuine effort to know the couple to make it custom and special. Give her the freedom to use her experience and she will do great!
Thank you Sonia

Sonia did an amazing job as our wedding celebrant. She was very professional and organized from the moment we started working with her. She is a lovely person and was a pleasure to work with. So many people said that it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to. It was so special and personalized, which is exactly what we wanted.

It was a genuine delight creating and doing the ceremony for couple so much in love, who valued the ceremony itself highly, and shared who they are so openly. A sensitive and beautiful couple evoked a touching and beautiful ceremony! It was an honour!

At first we weren't sure whether to have a celebrant or not - then we met Sonia. On our way home after meeting with Sonia we both said we knew - Sonia is perfect. We weren't disappointed - she was awesome! Thanks Sonia!
