    Ceri amazing wedding celebrant!

    We honestly can't recommend Ceri enough, she was an amazing wedding celebrant, from the word go she was super friendly, professional, and very helpful.
    We came off our first zoom with her and we both said what a really lovely person she was, we both knew that we had found the celebrant we wanted to marry us.
    Our service was so beautiful and everything we hoped it would be, we really couldn't have asked for more.

    Amazing custom ceremony

    We worked with Ceri to develop a ceremony that was unique to both myself and my husband. She was responsive to what we wanted, and she offered amazing and helpful suggestions. She has so much experience and was lovely to work with. The ceremony was absolutely perfect the day of, with the right amount of humor and seriousness. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we attribute a large part of that happiness to Ceri. Highly recommend!

    It was such a joy to marry you both! I loved working with you and it was an honour to officiate your wedding ceremony. Every happiness in your future together!

    Perfect celebrant for our wedding!

    Ceri performed our wedding ceremony in October, and we could not have chosen anyone better! Hubby and I were both feeling a little anxious about the whole thing but Ceri was so wonderful helping us put together our vows and a simple but meaningful ceremony. She made a point of calling to connect with us since we were from out of town, and making sure the ceremony was exactly to our liking.
    Ceri is a warm, calm and lovely person and I highly recommend her for a wedding celebrant!

    Ceri was beyond exceptional!

    Ceri put so much time and effort into not only getting to know us, but seeking ways to personalize our ceremony to ensure we had the best experience possible. She made our day literal perfection and ensured our vows etc were magical. I can not say enough about how beautiful and thoughtful the ceremony she created for us was. It was utter perfection.

    Oceanside Celebrant Services's reply:

    Desja and Ryan - it was my complete joy to be your celebrant. My heart was warmed by all the love shared between the two of you and your family. Every happiness in the future! Thank you for your kind review.

    Better than we could have ever imagined!

    We absolutely adore Ceri. Her sweet and silly personality made us feel so comfortable right from the start. Neither of us knew exactly what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony, so Ceri really helped us to navigate that and create something truly beautiful. Helping to create our ceremony was actually a lot of fun. We each individually filled in a questionnaire sent to us by Ceri, and she used our answers to help build our ceremony from scratch. It was such a lovely surprise when she emailed us our first rough draft on Valentine's Day and we got to see what we had said about each other in the questionnaire. She was so great about changing bits and pieces of it as we went along making sure it felt true and authentic to us. We have had so many compliments on how customized our ceremony was. You can really tell that alot of time and energy went into it! She had us all smiling, laughing and crying (even our photographer shed some tears).
    Thank you so much Ceri! It was a pleasure working with you.

    Ceri was the best decision that we made! We wanted to have a very unique and personalized wedding ceremony that spoke of our love story and how we came to be. Ceri made it her mission to make sure that our story was best said and catered to exactly what we wanted. When we had our first in person meeting we were confident and knew that it was the best choice. She offered unlimited support to make sure she catered to exactly how we wanted it to be and we also had a couple unique wedding rituals that added that extra special touch to our special day. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the work we did with Ceri. She truly captured our true love story and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants something more unique, personal and special than just a normal ceremony. Many many thanks♡

    Ceri was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly helpful, and made our day perfect. We wanted a very quiet, private elopement in the woods, and it was amazing. Ceri worked with us to craft our personalized vows and our ceremony, and it was wonderful, comfortable and meaningful. We flew out to Vancouver Island for our elopement, and she thought of everything to make it happen the way we wanted to. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Ceri is the best officiant ever!

    From the beginning, our experience with Ceri was exceptional. Her communication was consistently great from the outset. Ceri asked us all the right questions to get to know us and our story. From there, Ceri worked with us to build the perfect ceremony, exactly how we wanted it. She gave us a lot of creative ideas when we weren't sure what we wanted, she listened and was always receptive to our ideas. At the rehearsal and on our wedding day, Ceri made us feel comfortable and gave us the wedding ceremony of our dreams. Most importantly, Ceri is simply a genuine, kind and warmhearted person. We would not hesitate to recommend Ceri to anyone who is getting married!

    Oceanside Celebrant Services's reply:
