Maria is a beautiful celebrant inside and out. She was so personal and managed to capture every moment of our backstories and life together so far, perfectly. She was professional but funny and had everyone in stitches at the right times. Can’t recommend her enough if you are wanting a ceremony with a celebrant who treats you like a friend and gets to know you before the big day.
Maria has a great warmth about her and right from the start of the wedding planning process she made us feel calm and at ease. She listened carefully to our thoughts and was quick to respond to any of our queries. Maria was involved in making our ceremony very personal, including the symbolism of Handfasting which is how people 'tied the knot' hundreds of years ago. All of our guests commented that our ceremony was beautiful as it was personal and had special touches. On our wedding day, everyone could feel the love in the room and Maria made us all feel relaxed and excited. Thank you, Maria, you made our day feel extra special.
From the moment we first contacted Maria we knew we had made the right choice. She took the time to meet us in person and by phone to talk through ideas of how we wanted our big day to go. In our conversations she was able to guide us with suggestions for readings and ideas for symbolism to make the ceremony special for us.
On the day itself Maria was amazing. She took the time to see us both individually and put us at ease. We were excited to be able to get married outside in the gardens of our venue and as the sun shone brightly we had the perfect ceremony. Many of our guests commented on how well the ceremony went and that Maria was such a natural celebrant for our wedding.
Carole and I decided to get married at home , aiming for a relaxed day , free of too much formality, with our family and close friends. We of course wanted to make sure we marked the occasion properly but without stuffiness and an emphasis on recognising the happiness of the day . We had known Maria for some time, and were convinced she had the personality (large!) to carry off just what we wanted, and we were not to be disappointed. She met with us weeks prior to the day to establish what we wanted and to talk us through the day and what we could expect from her.
The ceremony took place in our front room, and from the first few seconds Maria made sure the atmosphere was just as we wanted - relaxed and fun, no awkwardness whatsoever. She made sure that the appropriate level of formality was marked with the vows of course, and the symbolic element of sipping from the Quaich added a special touch. We had a fantastic day, Maria helping to hit the tone we wanted, and we are very grateful to her for that.
I don’t even know how to put into words the exceptional service that Maria provided for my myself and my husband. Maria is a local woman from my village who had been the celebrant at a wedding I had attended previously.
We chose Maria to conduct our wedding ceremony as she was so professional, yet warm and loving.
The minute you meet Maria you instantly feel her warmth, her love and most of all her passion for what she does.
The attention to detail and sheer professionalism Maria puts into her services is nothing short of incredible. She went to great lengths and learned how to read out a Spanish poem which she executed flawlessly.
Maria helped every step of the way from our back story to the finer details of poems and personalisation of our love story. She makes you feel at ease and is always on hand to help with any questions no matter how big or small they are.
Maria is such a positive, bubbly, warm and loving person who genuinely has such a passion for what she does! My guests commented on how beautiful a service she provided us with as she managed to capture every minor detail of our relationship and then transposed our love for each other into words.
I could not recommend her highly enough. Maria was simply outstanding and we can’t thank her enough.
We are eternally grateful for her services.
We love hearing from you.
