“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!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Tara as our wedding celebrant. Tara took time to understand who we are as a couple and crafted a ceremony perfectly reflecting our personalities and our story.

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.

We highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thank you, Tara, for such an unforgettable ceremony!”

“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.”

Bristol Old Vic

“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!”

Clevedon Hall

“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.”

Thornbury Castle

“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.”

August 2024
Old Bell Hotel, Malmesbury

“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 Mount Without

“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 Great Tythe Barn

“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.”

June 2024
Bodleian Library Weddings, Oxford

“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!”

June 2024
The Forge, Bristol

“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!”

May 2024
The Mount Without, Bristol

“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!”

April 2024
The Forge, Bristol

“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!”

March 2024
Clevedon Hall

“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 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.”

January 2024
Folly Farm Centre

“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.”

Swan Weddings, Bibury

“We booked Tara for our wedding in November 2023 as we wanted something a little different and from our first phone call we knew we wanted to book.

Tara was fantastic and helped us so much to create the perfect ceremony for us and our guests. I felt that Tara had everything under control, and she kept us updated in the lead-up to the wedding so we knew everything was in hand. 

We honestly can’t thank Tara enough for helping to make our day so special.”

November 2023
Tortworth Court Weddings

“Tara was the first celebrant we met and after meeting, the only one we met. We knew that Tara was the person we wanted to make our special day that little bit more special. Tara was attentive from the get-go and took time to get to know us before creating a truly amazing ceremony for us and our guests.

We have had so many compliments since our wedding in regards to how beautiful & personal the ceremony was! We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to share our special day with us and we highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Tara.”

October 2023
Bredon Manor, Gloucestershire

“Tara was quite simply amazing! We couldn’t have asked for more from our celebrant. Tara really took the time to get to know us as a couple with enjoyable chats over coffee and cake. She drafted a beautiful ceremony script and was very happy to accommodate any changes or preferences.

The ceremony was so personal and meaningful, and we were both incredibly moved as Tara shared our story with our guests and guided us through our vows.

We had so many guests tell us that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had been to, which is a huge testament to Tara and all the hard work she put in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tara.”

October 2023
Foxhill Manor, The Cotswolds

“Tara created the ceremony that went beyond our dreams. It was so incredibly personal and we have the most special memories from it. All our guests said the ceremony was the highlight of the day for them!

We have loved working with Tara and meeting up and discussing our love story was so special. Tara went above and beyond giving us a lovely gift and card, it’s so sweet.

Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed and Tara will make your day incredibly memorable! She truly is a ray of sunshine and brightened up our special day immensely.”

September 2023
Middle End Farm, Northleach

“We met with a few celebrants before Tara but within minutes of chatting we 100% knew she was the right person to conduct our wedding ceremony. There is something so confident, reassuring and trustworthy about Tara that helped us feel at ease throughout the whole process.

Tara took the time to get to know us and wrote a ceremony script that reflected us really well as a couple and accounted for all of our preferences. She was an excellent communicator and made the effort to visit us the day before the wedding to help settle nerves and go over final details and logistics.

She delivered the ceremony so professionally and with humour, metaphorically holding our hand along the way helping to calm nerves. We received lots of comments during and after the wedding day about how good our celebrant was. Would definitely recommend Tara the Celebrant – you will be in safe hands!”

September 2023
The Swan Hotel, Bibury

“Tara was an absolutely wonderful part of our wedding in September. Throughout the process, she was warm, easy to talk to and so very helpful. She took all of our stories and thoughts and crafted them into a truly lovely ceremony.

On the day she arrived with everything we would need (vows and readings included!) and guided us through the ceremony in such a natural way. Couldn’t have asked for more and we would highly recommend her!”

September 2023

“Tara was the celebrant for our wedding this year and she was absolutely brilliant. She took so much time getting to know me and my husband and made sure she was able to build a really rich picture of us and our relationship in the ceremony.

The way she scripted and conducted the ceremony itself was fantastic. It felt so personal to us and so well put together. We’ve had so many people tell us it was the best and most fun ceremony they’ve ever been to – and we agree!

Can’t thank Tara enough, she’s an absolute pleasure to work with, and made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect!”

August 2023
Temple of Minerva, Bath

“Tara conducted our wedding ceremony in Bath and we couldn’t recommend someone more.  We needed someone last minute, but Tara still took the time to get to know us. We met for coffee and brainstormed ideas for the ceremony and she gave wonderful tips without being pushy or opinionated.

Throughout the whole process she really made us feel like this was our event and she was just there to make it as special and meaningful as she could. She also gave us a fantastic vendor recommendation of a photographer who turned out to be amazing!

Working with Tara was like having a friend, wedding planner and celebrant all in one. I couldn’t recommend someone more!”

“We just got home after our honeymoon and I wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for being a special part of our wedding day. We both loved the ceremony, I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. 

Thank you also for being flexible and tailoring everything to our needs. The ceremony felt just right and exactly what we wanted as a couple.  

We also really appreciated your guidance and suggestions throughout the planning process. We’ve had many guests comment on how beautiful the ceremony was. I especially loved hearing the things that Dave wrote about me – that was a particularly special moment for me.”

You were so accommodating of all of our ideas (including singalongs, readings and our dog being the ring bearer) as well as our last-minute sending of the vows! You made us feel so comfortable and relaxed when standing up in front of everyone that it felt like it was just the three of us at times. 

You have such warmth and that was apparent not only on the day but in all of our interactions with you, including the first time we met. Thank you for making our day so special – we would recommend you to anyone.”

The feedback on the ceremony from both family and friends has been wonderful and your role in it has been front and centre in the comments.”

Everything felt so special and personal and you really helped put me at ease as soon as I saw you, it was like seeing a friend for the first time in a long time which is crazy seeing as though we hadn’t met in person before then.

“We had the best day ever, it was perfect as cliché as that sounds. The ceremony was amazing in every way, one of the treasured memories of our day. I was very nervous and felt so out of my comfort zone, but you were so calm and graceful that it almost enveloped me and helped put me more at ease. 

Your words were beautiful and the tone was just right, the perfect vibe for us as a couple and indeed as a family. I cannot thank you enough, from the very first meeting where you were so friendly and welcoming, the help and advice along the way to our wonderfully perfect ceremony on the day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am already dreaming of a ten-year vow renewal to do it all again and there is no one we would want but you.”

“Tara really takes the time and effort to get to know you as a couple, your love story and you individually. She’s bubbly, personable and very easy to get along with and also a very calming presence which was, of course, welcome on the wedding day. 

Due to personal reasons, we had to move our wedding date closer. Tara not only helped us with this but treated us with kindness, care and went as far as getting us an extra gift! We would absolutely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a celebrant for their events.

Everyone told us how great the ceremony was and we look forward to employing Tara for future life events.”

“Tara conducted our ceremony for us at The Mount Without in Bristol. When we first met Tara it felt as if we’d known her for years. She is able to put you at ease right away and has such a warm and welcoming presence.

She is also extremely organised and responsive and always willing to go the extra mile. The little touches Tara added over the two years we were speaking / planning were so thoughtful.

She also listened to us closely and took the time to get to know us which resulted in the most personal and memorable ceremony. We had so many compliments on the ceremony and how wonderful Tara was.

She really is the perfect mix of warmth and professionalism. You can tell how passionate she is about her work and her couples, and we felt so well looked after by Tara throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend Tara enough and hope we will remain friends for years to come!”

Since the moment we met, she put us at ease and made the whole process incredibly easy.  She was also kind enough to share her contacts with us and we were able to book a fantastic photographer because of this.”

Can’t recommend her enough, generous, caring, and fab at what she does.”

“We had Tara for our ceremony and it was so beautiful. Tara did an amazing job capturing both our personalities and our journey together as individuals and as a couple. We wanted to incorporate both our heritage, background and character into our ceremony to make it ours and Tara did a brilliant job bringing it all together. 

She was also open to incorporating traditions and rituals both old and new to her for our ceremony which was an amazing experience because we could curate the whole ceremony based on elements and rituals that were both dear to us and symbolic of our roots and family traditions.

Everyone loved how beautiful the ceremony was and it genuinely felt like we were being celebrated on the day by all our family and friends. Tara played such a huge part in making it all so special and it felt more like a friend who was guiding us and officiating us as man and wife on the day.

She really does go out of her way to make you feel special and celebrated on your day!! We also received lovely little gifts from her before and after our wedding which were so thoughtful and beautifully put together. 

It’s been such an amazing journey and experience and we cannot recommend Tara enough.”

October 2022
Caswell House

“I don’t even know where to start to try and explain how wonderful Tara is! We had the pleasure of Tara conducting our wedding ceremony in October, and she really helped us capture the love and personalised service that we were after. Tara not only was amazing with all her communications, being available on emails, calls, and WhatsApp on any day, she made us feel relaxed and secure knowing that she was helping us create our dream service.

Tara is there to help you every step of the way, passing on her own experiences and advice, but never pushing what she feels you should have. Not only this, Tara also goes above and beyond for you on the day, ensuring everything is set up, and speaking with anyone involved in the service to help them feel relaxed.

Tara also kindly gifted us with the most beautiful poem in a frame along with our full service for us to keep which we will treasure forever. If I could get married all over again, I would have Tara there again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Celebrant for any special occasion. Tara has become a friend and will always be a big part in our wedding and marriage. Thank you for everything Tara, we are eternally grateful.” 

October 2022
Old Gore Barn, Cirencester

“Organising a UK wedding from Australia certainly has its challenges. With the venue locked in, the booking of our celebrant was next… Tara came recommended so we promptly booked in a Zoom call to “meet” and discuss our options. My (now) wife and I immediately felt Tara’s warmth and passion for her work. We knew instantly she was the perfect fit and although encouraged by Tara to take a few days to think about it, we booked her in before hanging up on the call. She spent time getting to know us and to learn our love story and this really showed on our big day. She went the extra mile in every way – from posting us a lovely wedding reading book all the way to Australia, to shouting us breaky when we arrived in the UK when we finally got to meet in person. She also gave us the most thoughtful wedding gifts and handmade card. On the big day, she delivered our story with care and there was not a dry eye in the house. She was a constant source of calm and would offer encouragement when emotions were high. Tara made our day absolutely perfect and we cannot thank her enough!”

October 2022
Stanton St Quinton Woods

“We met Tara through a mutual friend and from the initial contact we knew she would be the perfect person to conduct our ceremony.

Every meet-up ahead of the wedding felt like we were meeting up with an old friend – we felt so comfortable and Tara just got us!

The ceremony script moved me to tears on the initial read and on the big day itself it really was just perfect! We had tears and laughter, and everyone could feel the love!

So many of our friends and family have also commented on what a wonderful ceremony it was, how intimate, heartfelt and personal it was. Even the vows felt like they were written especially for me and my now husband!

We can’t thank Tara enough and would recommend her to anyone!”

October 2022
Hyde House, The Cotswolds

“Having a Celebrant allows you the opportunity to tell your story in a more conventional way, with emotion, laughter and honesty. And Tara absolutely nailed it for us! 

Right from the start, Tara has been so kind, welcoming and supportive with us. Aside from the coffee meet-ups, she was always on hand to ask any questions, make any amendments to the ceremony and gave advice on vows. 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony, and we had comments from our guests saying, “It’s the best ceremony they’ve been to”. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way and are so grateful to Tara for interpreting and conveying our feelings for each other in such a meaningful way. 

Thank you Tara, you made our day that extra bit special!”

“How do we even begin?… Without your guidance and presence, our wedding wouldn’t have been a wedding, but simply a party.

You helped us to share our story and express our love in front of all of our favourite people, in a way that was true to us. So many of our guests approached us after to say how amazing and moving the ceremony was – that was all thanks to you. 

We can’t thank you enough and we wish you all the best and hope our paths cross again.”

July 2022
Fox Hill Manor, The Cotswolds

“We cannot recommend Tara the Celebrant highly enough.

From our very first telephone conversation, we connected and knew that Tara was going to work perfectly with us to make our celebration truly personal to us. She was kind and bubbly and we had an instant rapport.

Tara guided us through our vow renewal planning and listened carefully to our love story. She could not have been more helpful and thoughtful. She really understood what we wanted to say and achieve on our special day.

Tara sent us ideas for our vows and also suggested we include a Celtic Hand Fasting ritual into our ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful and so moving.

Nothing was too much trouble and we felt that everything for our day was unique and personally tailored to us and our celebration.

She was a consummate professional but with a wonderful personal touch that was simply lovely. Her joy and enthusiasm were infectious and she really captured the essence of our celebration and made our vow renewal day truly magical.

We had so many lovely compliments about the ceremony, most were about Tara and how the ceremony had been one of the most beautiful and moving that they had ever been to.

We could not have wished for anything more. Thank you so very much, Tara.”

She very much encouraged us to write our own vows. I’m so glad we did. It was such a beautiful part of our ceremony and many of our guests said it was their favourite part of the ceremony. Tara is such a wonderful soul. She showed such a willingness to really understand us as people and as a couple. We both felt like we were in safe hands on the day as she had taken so much time to understand us. Everything had such a personal touch. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our ceremony something so special. We will treasure these memories forever.”

“We cannot thank Tara enough for making our vows so special. From our first meeting she made us feel like her top priority and no request was denied. Tara’s personality, professionalism and caring nature makes you feel instantly at ease straight away – we instantly knew we had made the right choice choosing her and appreciated her ideas to personalise our service, even meeting us closer to the big day to finalise everything (we live out of the country). Our wedding day really would not have been the same without her. Thank you so much, Tara.”

“We were so delighted with how the wedding ceremony went. Thank you. It was reassuring to see your smiling face as my heart pounded at the beginning of the ceremony! You were a total joy to plan our wedding day with and I lost count of how many people said how good you were! The wedding card and gifts were so thoughtful of you. What a lovely lady you are – from the time we said ‘yes please’ to you at the beginning, to the ‘I wills’ on the big day. Keep doing what you are doing, you make so many smiles.”

Tara’s little touches really made the experience even more special for us and we shared many Mini Schnauzer stories along the way. We’d best get her booked up for the renewal of vows now, because I’m sure her diary will be full for many moons to come.”

“As soon as we met Tara, we knew we were in safe hands. We wanted a ceremony which was tailored to us and our relationship, and Tara seemed to instantly understand what kind of couple we were.

The ceremony script was perfect and a real collaboration of thoughts and ideas. Tara’s kind and guiding hand was always available and the whole ceremony process felt effortless.

The little touches like a printed copy of the ceremony script and vows and a book of love poems were so lovely and will be cherished forever. Thank you Tara for being so approachable and patient with us!”

“Tara was simply wonderful. Right from the start she put us both at ease and guided us through every stage. She was so friendly and quietly competent and ‘just got it’. I honestly could not have asked for a more wonderful Celebrant for our day. She took our clumsy ideas and made them into a beautiful and seamless ceremony. Thank you, Tara!”

“Wow. What can we say? There wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the end of our ceremony. We couldn’t have done it without you, Tara. You helped us make our special day personal to us from start to finish and we can’t thank you enough. You got to know us as individuals and as a couple and guided us through the whole process, which settled our nerves leading up to the big day.

If you are looking for a personal ceremony that your guests will love, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Tara. She is amazing, kind and will truly work with you to make your day the best it can be.”

“Tara, we can’t thank you enough for being our celebrant on the big day! Not only are you a genuinely lovely person, but having you conduct our ceremony felt like a perfect fit and we were so happy we found you.

We absolutely loved all the attention to detail throughout the process, and the thought you put into our ceremony wording. It really did capture the essence of our relationship and everyone commented on how perfectly it summed us up.

I was quite nervous getting to the end of the aisle, but seeing your reassuring smile put us both immediately at ease. You were a consummate professional and the love you have for your job shines through, everyone said it was an amazing experience.

We really can’t thank you enough Tara, and thank you also for your lovely card and gift. Such a special touch!”

“Tara, you are truly amazing. You stepped in last minute to write and deliver our wedding vow renewal ceremony. You had four days to turn this around. Despite this short time, the day you gave us was just magical. Everybody commented on how beautiful the service was and how it captured our story.

Tara your warmth, understanding and bubbly personality turned our day into a fairy tale. A day we will never forget.

Thank you for absolutely everything. We shall never forget your kindness or the day you gave us. Thank you so very much.”

“We had already been married legally, but wanted a ceremony for our wedding celebration a year later. We didn’t have a clue on how to do this, so we were delighted when we found Tara.

She was brilliant throughout the process, really getting to know us, supporting us all the way through the planning stages and making it easy and zero stress.

On the big day itself, the ceremony was beautiful and tailored perfectly to suit our style, so both of us were at ease. All of our friends and family commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and how personal it felt, which both Lucy and I completely agreed with.

Thank you Tara for your support and help and for making the day so memorable – it honestly couldn’t have been better! Thank you.”

“Tara was absolutely fabulous from the moment we made contact with her. We spoke on the phone and nothing was too much trouble for our ceremony. Tara wrote the most lovely ceremony for us, incorporating everything we wanted and made it very personal to us. She even met us in person to go through everything before the big day.

On the day, Tara was professional, caring and took control of the ceremony in the most professional way, still being so warming towards us and all our guests. We had numerous people comment how wonderful they found the ceremony.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tara to anyone who is requesting a Celebrant. She is absolutely fantastic!”

“I feel very lucky that we met Tara.  From the very first time we spoke on the phone, we got on like a house on fire, and when I first met her in person, I felt like I was talking to a friend that I had known for a while. Tara listened to our story, asked lots of questions, and tapped into the themes and feel of the wedding that we were trying to create, and came back to us with some wonderful, heartfelt words, that mirrored everything we had talked about. Her attention to detail was fabulous, and it was obvious that she was really investing in us as a couple, and managed to create the perfect sentiment for our ceremony.

On the actual day, she was exceptionally professional and calm, and put everyone at ease – not always an easy task when there are so many nerves in play! The ceremony was lovely – everything that we wanted, and more. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tara to other couples, as she was the perfect addition to our wedding.”
