“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!”

“We are not sure how to put into words how much we loved having Tara as our wedding celebrant.
From the beginning, she was attentive to our little quirks and requirements that we wanted to include.
Everything had a personal touch, from the hand fasting to the poetry, and you always felt that you had 100% of her focus.
She went the extra mile to ensure we had the wedding of her dreams, and it would not have been the same without her.
We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

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.”

“Tara conducted the most beautiful ceremony we could have hoped for. We were unsure initially whether to go for a celebrant ceremony or a registrar, but we are delighted we went with Tara. It was so personable and really captured our relationship.
We had so many compliments on the ceremony itself, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting Tara and planning the ceremony. Thank you, Tara, for making our day so special to the both of us!”

“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!”

On the day, Tara’s warmth and enthusiasm set the perfect tone, making our ceremony feel intimate and special. Many of our guests commented on how unique and personal it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

“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!”

“Feel so lucky to have had Tara as our Celebrant. From the first moment we spoke, we knew she would be perfect for us. She has this wonderful energy and made the whole process so easy and personal. Asking questions, offering up ideas, and really taking the time to get to know us as a couple.
It was really important to us that our ceremony felt different to a standard ceremony; we wanted something much more personal and much more like us. We wanted someone who could bring our love story to life, and Tara did exactly that.
All our friends and family have commented on how wonderful it was. So thank you, Tara! We are so grateful to you.”

Rackleys, Chiltern Hills

“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!”

“My partner and I stumbled upon Tara at Clevedon Estate’s wedding fayre. We soon realized that this was not mere chance and that some other worldly forces were at play to unite us with Tara, an absolute gem of a human being and stunning at her craft!
We hit it off immediately with Tara at the fayre and it did not take long for her to move us to tears just with the ideas she was proposing for our wedding ceremony. It was a yes, yes, yes to Tara from the very get go! She worked with us very seamlessly and with a lot of patience over the months that followed.
We never felt rushed, pressured or forced to respond or liaise with Tara. She helped personalise our experience to the T and never shied away from suggesting ideas or letting us know which ideas would work better than others. Our virtual chats were always timely, very friendly, and always a treat when her doggie showed up on call too!
The wedding day ceremony itself was one of the most beautiful experiences not only of our lives, but all our guests came out complimenting how it was a true celebration of love and the most engaging ceremony they had ever been part of!
All of this my partner and I can confirm was all down to Tara. Her patience despite our tardiness, her warm smile and hug to settle our nerves, her delivery of our love story and her direction of our wedding ceremony was exemplary, nothing short of elite, the highest of the high!
In the language of Hindi, Tara stands for star. Well, we can count our stars lucky that we were wed under the gracefulness of the awesome Tara herself! To all those reading this comment, my partner and I can vouch that you will be star-struck by Tara, just as we have been! Please choose Tara as your celebrant, you will not regret it.”

“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.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect Celebrant! From the first moment we met, Tara exuded passion, curiosity and joy at hearing our story. She wrote our love story in a thoughtful and engaging way and really brought it to life on the day. We were all in pieces!
We had guests from abroad who told us that they didn’t know a wedding ceremony could be so personal, heartfelt and emotional and a huge amount of that is thanks to Tara’s phenomenal celebrant skills! Thank you for making our day so special!”

“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 absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough for the fabulous speech and delivery on the day! She worked patiently throughout the process to accommodate our requests and delivered such a touching and personable speech.
We greatly appreciated her suggestions on how to make our ceremony even more memorable (including a hand-fasting ceremony & readings recommendations). We truly believe our ceremony would not have been the same without having Tara as our celebrant.
Thank you so much Tara. We’d, without a doubt, recommend you to any couple looking for a memorable ceremony on their special day!”

“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 the Celebrant for our Commitment Ceremony in March and we were overjoyed with our experience. From the very beginning Tara made us feel special and invested proper time to get to know our story and us as individuals and a couple.
This really shone through in her ceremony script where she captured our relationship perfectly. Tara made sure we had everything sorted on time without pressurising and came up with some wonderful suggestions to add fun and an extra special touch to our day.
Tara put all the guests at ease and feedback was wonderful. Thank you Tara, for being part of our day, for understanding exactly what we were looking for and for being all round awesome!”

“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.”

“We were so lucky to have Tara as our celebrant earlier this year, and we absolutely recommend her! Tara’s thoughtfulness, communication, and delivery on our big day were absolutely fantastic.
At every stage, Tara’s well-thought-out approach helped us create a celebration that was truly meaningful to us. She took the time to really listen to our story and bring out the beautiful details, incorporating them seamlessly into our ceremony.
We discussed our reservation about having a celebrant rather than a registrar and decided that we’d never regret having a celebrant, we definitely made the right decision with Tara.”
To love is to will the good of the other.
