fantastic

“Lorraine was a fantastic wedding celebrant. She helped us plan our ceremony from start to finish, including the stuff we didn’t know to ask about! Always highly professional and organised, Lorraine made the whole process low-stress and fun. She listened to all our suggestions and preferences — creating a ceremony that wove in anecdotes, music choices, family readings and personal vows. The ceremony she delivered was personal, down-to-earth, and engaging. We happily recommend Lorraine as a celebrant to anyone.”

Highly Recommend

“We had the pleasure of being Lorraine’s second wedding that she has officiated and she did an amazing service. She really took the time to get to know us and incorporate that into the lovely words. We would ”highly recommend” her.”

Lorraine went above and beyond for us

“We would highly recommend Lorraine as a wedding celebrant!

From the very first video call intro meeting, we immediately felt Lorraine’s professionalism and kindness.  Lorraine asked us a few questions about us to make the ceremony more personal, explained how everything works at the ceremony and took away all our stresses. Every step of the way, Lorraine was organized and always stayed in touch with us. We didn’t have a wedding rehearsal as it was just a short legal ceremony before our destination wedding, and with Lorraine you don’t even need to have a rehearsal, everything went as planned anyways! Lorraine wrote a beautiful speech for the ceremony which was just perfect! It was personalised and felt very special! We feel that Lorraine went above and beyond for us and would highly recommend Lorraine as a wedding celebrant!

Once again, thank you so much! We had the best day ever!”

Celebration of Life Ceremony

“Lorraine facilitated this occasion amazingly.  Although she is a family friend, she was very professional and thorough.  We were absolutely thrilled with the ceremony tailored exactly to this unusual circumstance.  Lorraine is a lovely person and I would certainly recommend her to help you through this difficult time.”

a wonderful celebrant

“Lorraine was a wonderful celebrant for our intimate wedding and we will be recommending her to friends and family. She was flexible to our unique needs and was a pleasure to deal with from start to end. Lorraine was very thorough in her research which meant she delivered a highly personalised ceremony that captured our relationship perfectly. We received many positive comments from guests about how beautiful the ceremony was, and this is largely due to Lorraine’s excellent work.”

a very personal touch

“We connected with Lorraine for our mother’s (Elizabeth) celebration of life. Lorraine took time to listen to our stories, to understand who mum was, and what was important to her, as well as us. This process in hindsight helped us to grieve, as well as honor Mum's life. Lorraine picked up on the small things, the simple things about Mum, then during the celebration wove them into the ceremony giving a very personal touch to the day, this made the ceremony meaningful and memorable. We would recommend Lorraine for any occasion and her compassion and attention to detail will be remembered as a true celebration of life for Mum.”

exceptional work

We had a truly remarkable wedding weekend and we are deeply grateful for your role as our marriage celebrant. My friends were thoroughly impressed with your style as a celebrant and were pleasantly surprised by your speaking of Chinese. Our wedding would not have been as wonderful without your presence and contributions. Thank you again for your exceptional work.”

heartfelt and genuine

“Thank you Lorraine for your thoughtfulness and care when crafting our ceremony, and thank you especially for taking the time to learn how to incorporate my whakapāpā into our ceremony. You were very approachable and put us both at ease. We've had loads of lovely feedback on how heartfelt and genuine our ceremony was. We also really appreciate your composure when the weather didn't stick to the plan! “

you went above and beyond

“Lorraine, thank you. You are a warm and kind person who made finding a celebrant super easy. Upon meeting you and spending time with you, it was clear that we found the perfect person to marry us. You made the process seamless and really captured our love story to share with our friends and family, even if it’s not the most romantic love story. I love how you incorporated my culture into our ceremony, you went above and beyond. Thank you for being so open and accommodating. I highly recommend Lorraine.”
