“From the very beginning, Tara made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to truly get to know us, and the ceremony she created was everything we dreamed of—relaxed, heartfelt, and filled with meaning.

Tara’s professionalism and organisation meant we didn’t have to worry about a thing; every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, allowing us to just be present in the moment. So many of our guests commented on how personal and beautiful the ceremony was, and that’s all thanks to Tara’s care and expertise.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to share such a special day with us. We wish we could do it all again! I hope our paths will cross again in the future.”

“We can highly recommend Tara on so many levels. She was our celebrant for our vow renewal yesterday, and she made it such a special day.

Tara was so helpful right from the beginning and guided us through and advised us on having the most beautiful ceremony.

It was perfect in every way. Tara also helped us by recommending the most amazing florist who created our bouquets for the day. We can’t thank Tara enough for everything.”

“Thank you very much for all your care and attention from start to finish – and I don’t mean only on the day. All the pre-work you did to secure the necessary amount of detail, the ceremony document you produced, and all that prep work were much appreciated and invaluable. Thank you.

As for the day itself, you were the perfect mix of quiet authority coupled with a huge amount of empathy and humour for us and our guests, which made the whole day perfect. Again, we can’t thank you enough.”

“Tara created a magical ceremony for us and was amazingly kind and warm throughout the whole process.

She spent time getting to know us and our background, taking the time to write a script that fitted us perfectly.

She communicated the whole time, so we never had to worry about anything. She even coordinated with our friends so we could have readings in our ceremony that we heard for the first time on the day!

All in all, the ceremony was touching, personal and made everyone cry – everything we could have possibly wanted in a wedding ceremony!”

“If you’re reading this and looking for a celebrant to conduct your wedding, look no further! The ceremony was everything we hoped for; warm, personal, and full of love, and that’s all thanks to Tara.

Tara made us feel so comfortable and truly captured what our relationship means to us. We’ve had so many lovely comments from friends and family about how beautiful the ceremony was.

We were so grateful for her presence and the care she put into every word.”

“Whether meeting over Zoom, coffee and cake or being a part of the wedding, we knew every step of the way we had made the perfect decision with our celebrant.

Tara is so warm, kind, and so genuine in the words she put together for our wedding. The ceremony was so personal in every way. So many special touches and amazing suggestions.

Tara took so much time to get to know us and our family. Our special day will be cherished for life, and Tara contributed hugely to that.

We had so many compliments on “our amazing celebrant”. She is certainly one of those people you are sad to say goodbye to!”

“I never would have thought a simple Google search would have led us to such a thoughtful, personal, and meaningful celebrant.

Everything Tara does is above and beyond. She went out of her way to come to the house and get to know us properly, so it really felt like our ceremony.

We chose to have the hand-tying ceremony, and it really felt special on the day. She made everyone who was taking part in the ceremony feel comfortable and at ease, and so many of our guests commented on how personalised and meaningful the ceremony was.”

“We first met Tara at a wedding fair and instantly warmed to her. We hadn’t been to a celebrant-led wedding ourselves and did not know much about them, but after speaking to Tara and listening to the Unfiltered Bride podcast, it became clear it was the best choice for us.

Tara was lovely, kind and professional throughout. She gave us really good advice and helped us to personalise and tailor our ceremony so it really felt like it was about us. Our families are from different cultures with different religious / non-religious views and working with Tara meant we could have a ceremony that celebrated and included everyone.

She was also very sensitive and flexible during the planning process when we lost a much-loved parent. Tara helped us commemorate and include them on the day in a way that still felt heartwarming and uplifting. We were both so nervous before the ceremony, but we knew we were in safe hands, and I felt instantly reassured that Tara would be at the end of the aisle as well, running the show with her calm confidence, instead of a stranger. We couldn’t recommend her more!”

“It really is hard to put into words just how amazing Tara is! From the moment we first started talking, we were so happy we’d found her. Tara instantly put us at ease; she walked us through the many things you can include in a celebrant-led ceremony, and we can wholeheartedly say choosing Tara was one of the best decisions we made!

Not only is Tara absolutely amazing at what she does, but she is also so unbelievably genuine, warm and kind. We felt so supported through each step of the way and always knew we could reach out if there was anything we were unsure of. I’ll always remember the day we first met Tara in person – it was so emotional talking about everything we wanted to include, but we came away smiling from ear to ear, feeling so excited and just knowing how right Tara was for us!

We really couldn’t recommend Tara enough, and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts for leading our wedding ceremony. I wish we could do it all over again just for the chance to work with you, Tara. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to shape one of the most important days of our lives. We will always be grateful for you!”

“Tara did an amazing job, and we were very pleased with the ceremony. She guided us throughout the entire process, giving us many suggestions and making it so easy for us. In the end, she created a wonderful, personalised speech based on the information we provided. She is very thoughtful and lovely to work with. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you, Tara.”

“Tara delivered the most fabulous ceremony for our wedding! From start to finish, it was such a personal and heartfelt experience. The ceremony was truly one of the most special parts of our day, made even more memorable by Tara’s warmth and thoughtful approach.

So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the ceremony was. The handfasting ritual, which involved all our children, was such a meaningful way to include them, and it made the moment even more special for our family.

We can’t thank Tara enough for making our wedding ceremony so perfect.”

“Our ceremony felt so personal thanks to Tara! It exceeded our expectations and was such a special part of our day. Tara tailored our ceremony to make sure it told our story, showed our fun side and got a few happy tears too!

Tara is such a lovely person, we couldn’t recommend her more!”

“From our very first Zoom call with Tara, we knew she was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. The venue recommended her, and we instantly understood why. Tara’s warm, genuine personality and approach to celebrancy immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident she would be a fantastic support throughout the entire process.

She took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, and together we crafted a ceremony that was deeply personal, meaningful, and perfectly reflected our relationship. Working with Tara to build our ceremony script was a truly special part of the lead-up, helping us focus on what mattered most – we really appreciated her guidance, experience, and the creativity that she brought to the process.

Tara’s professionalism was evident in every interaction, yet she also has a wonderful, friendly nature. On the day, she brought a special energy to the ceremony, making it even more magical. She handled everything flawlessly.

We can’t thank Tara enough for helping us create such a perfect wedding day. If you’re looking for a kind, professional celebrant (with fantastic shoes!) dedicated to crafting a truly personalized ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Tara. We would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“I could feel Tara’s warmth, kindness and professionalism from the very first email. Then she went on to exceed all our expectations. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish choosing Tara as our celebrant. She got to know us as a couple and as individuals and conducted the most beautiful ceremony with tears of emotion and laughter.

We chose to have a hand fasting ritual, which meant we could include both of our Mums in the ceremony. Tara guided and supported us to achieve a ceremony tailored to us where she told our story and added those personal touches.

If you’re looking for a celebrant, look no further! You made this part of wedding planning so easy and joyous. Your gifts and cards throughout the year is such an unexpected and thoughtful touch. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I wish we could do it all over again!”

“Tara conducted our wedding ceremony and was absolutely amazing. The entire process of planning the ceremony with Tara was so enjoyable. Tara created a really personalised ceremony for us and we couldn’t have been more happy with it.

Tara was so supportive; she guided us very kindly through the whole process and was so reassuring throughout. We felt very much in safe hands!

We couldn’t recommend Tara enough for your special day.”

“Where to start? Our timeline was tight but you took on the assignment of being our celebrant willingly and joyfully. In that short space of time, you got to know us as a couple and our little coffee morning in Daylesford sealed the deal.

Thanks to your guidance, pure talent and mindfulness, you crafted a ceremony that was not only personal to us but included everyone along the way. You gave us the confidence to write our own vows and the ring warming ceremony in particular added a profound and innovative touch of symbolism to our union.

You do not simply create ceremonies; you shape experiences and memories and we will cherish ours forever.  Many of our guests also expressed how much they enjoyed your presence and how beautifully they thought the wedding ceremony was delivered.

You command a room in the most graceful way and we very much hope to enjoy your talents again in the future. If we could give 6 stars we would!!”

“If you are looking for a celebrant look no further!

Tara was fantastic from start to finish. She supported us through the whole process and added so much to our day. She has a genuine and happy demeanour, she took the time to get to know me and my partner.

We had lots of compliments from guests about how unique the ceremony was.

Thank you again!”

“We had an intimate wedding at Thornbury Castle, and Tara was truly exceptional in managing the ceremony and guiding us through every step.

Despite the challenges of a small guest list, diverse cultural backgrounds, and multiple languages, Tara worked closely with us to overcome every hurdle.

Together, we found solutions to these complexities, and in the end, the ceremony became an unforgettable experience for both us and our guests.”

“From the moment we met Tara we knew she was the one. We’d been to friends weddings with a celebrant and found them so much more personal and special but Tara really excelled herself. She really got to know us as a couple and was so kind and friendly, helping us to feel completely comfortable.

The ceremony itself was incredible with a ring warming, readings, a song and hand fasting. Tara supported us to include everything we wanted and wrote the most beautiful vows for us.

I honestly don’t think anyone could find a better celebrant. She is absolutely brilliant at what she does. One of my friends even said if they got married they wanted exactly the same ceremony just to change the names! She consistently went above and beyond, from sending us a beautiful card when our son was born to already having booked in a meeting with the venue when our wedding planner changed at the last minute, to capturing sneaky videos of the song and confetti throw that we will really treasure forever.

She completely took the stress out of getting married because we were so confident in her we knew the ceremony was going to be amazing whatever happened. I only wish I could do it all again!

Thank you so much, Tara.”

“The best of the best, in my opinion.

Tara was lovely right from the get-go. We had a Zoom call to discuss what we were after and immediately felt we had found our celebrant. She was kind, bubbly and so comforting.

Myself and my now husband are not fans of being centre of attention so finding a celebrant who made us feel at ease was really important to us. She delivered the most beautiful ceremony and her lovely bubbly character shone through.”

“Tara Heath-Arnold is a truly excellent Celebrant for a wedding. We can’t recommend her strongly enough or praise her highly enough! She immediately made us feel at ease on our initial introductory calls and she is so intuitive; she quickly assessed our dynamic as a couple without us really saying anything at all!

She made everything feel so simple and effortless in the run up to the wedding, with plenty of communication and openness. She gave us lots of time to review the different elements of her ceremony content and was more than happy to make amendments whenever needed.

On our wedding, she really brought an air of such grace and celebration to the day, as well as such tenderness, and she frequently made our guests laugh out loud — something we definitely wanted, we were hoping for a ceremony to encapsulate the joy we were feeling.

Our wedding celebration went exactly how we dreamed it would, and we don’t doubt this was due to Tara’s excellent work in making our guests happy and us too!”

“Tara was our celebrant for our wedding last Friday and from start to finish working with Tara has been an absolute delight. Tara took the time to get to know us properly and the result was an absolutely wonderful ceremony, touching and emotional but also witty and funny too.

Tara has a wonderful way with words and her delivery is just lovely too. All our guests commented that they have never witnessed such a unique and beautiful ceremony. Thank you, Tara – we’ll treasure it forever!”

“Faultless. The ultimate professional with a real personal touch!

We didn’t necessarily know exactly what we wanted from our ceremony. All we knew was that we wanted it to be genuine, heartfelt, inclusive and true to us.

Tara helped guide us through a load of options and ultimately helped deliver something that was so perfectly fitting and it became the ultimate, intimate family ceremony that we wanted.

Thank you so much Tara, it really was so special!”

“Tara was an absolute joy to have as the celebrant for our wedding. From putting together a lovely script that incorporated so many personal touches, to helping us craft the amazing sand ceremony despite us choosing less than ideal sands, to all the preparation and logistics so the ceremony went perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Tara!”

“Tara was our wedding celebrant and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.

Planning a wedding is stressful but Tara was wonderfully relaxing, took the time to get to know us as a couple and create a celebration for us that felt so personal.

All our guests were impressed with the ceremony, but most important, my husband and I loved it.

Tara is a lovely presence for your wedding day.”
