Finding a Celebrant

More than any other element of your day, it is the words you choose to say to each other that will be the foundation of your marriage.

They should be words that you come back to in the years ahead, to remind you of the truth in your relationship.
Your vows are the essence of your wedding day, and the joy and strength you will draw upon in your life journey together.

What I loved most about our ceremony was Sue’s bubbly, warm personality! She made us so relaxed! We have a close family member who has passed and Sue chose perfect wording to recognize this.

Scott and I wanted a celebrant with a big personality, a strong speaking voice, a sense of humour and the ability to handle a new and fluid script. Susan Artup was that celebrant. So skilled. So professional. So flexible.

Susan was so kind, calm and accommodating! She was a crucial part of making our day so special and we were so blessed to have her marry us.

Susan catered for our every need in a way I don’t believe anyone else could! After marrying Tristan’s parents almost 7 years ago, it was so meaningful to have Susan marry us too.

Two years before we were to be married, I knew Susan was going to be our perfect celebrant. Matt and I agreed she presented as a wise, friendly, caring, confident and nurturing celebrant.
