Love Letter Katrice & Elliot Wedding Ancora Tweed Heads NSW
Marilyn was absolutely wonderful. Right from the moment I spoke to her on the phone she connected so authentically with our story and new exactly how to run the ceremony. With her guidance and suggestions it allowed us to feel so relaxed in the process leading into the wedding. We could not recommend her and the service she provides enough. You would be mad not to have Marilyn support you in your wedding day. Thank you so much! We are eternally grateful to you!

Love Letter Jacob + Sophia Wedding Cowbell Creek Austinville
Hi Marilyn, Jacob and I wanted to say a big thank you for making our ceremony as beautiful as it was. The ceremony was hands down my most favourite part of the whole day, which is crazy to me, given that walking down the aisle and standing up there in front of everyone was something that seemed so daunting to me. Once I got there I was just so happy and excited to be there it over came any anxiety or worries I had and I just found your presence so calming and felt at ease that I didn’t have to think about anything because you were there to guide us and remind us to take all this in. We have had so many of our guests give us the most amazing feedback about the ceremony. People have been telling us how beautiful the ceremony was and how it was the perfect combination of funny and emotional and completely tailored to us and our story. Quite a few people that never thought they would cry ended up balling. People have also commented on yourself and how amazing your delivery was and that this was the most engaged they have ever felt in a ceremony. My mum was the one who told us the importance of having a good celebrant for the ceremony and she said that you were the best celebrant she’s had to pleasure of watching marry two people. Jacob and I feel so blessed to have found you and now have those memories of our beautiful ceremony forever! THANK-YOU! Jacob and Sophia xoxox

Love Note Patricia + Taran Wedding Sanctuary Cove Chapel Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove
Marilyn, Patricia and myself cannot THANK YOU enough for our ceremony. Since the first appointment you helped us every step of the way, giving us that piece of mind. Covid could not stop us! Marrying this beautiful couple in the stunning Sanctuary Cove Chapel was awesome...I was on a high afterwards. I will never forget David the wedding co-ordinator kept popping out to see what was making everyone roar with laughter and that happened at least 5 or 6 times :-) Your wedding had the whole roller coaster of emotions from tears of laughter to tears of joy :-)

Love Letter Candice + Richard Wedding Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens Brookfield Brisbane
Marilyn, we were so thrilled with the ceremony, it was perfect beyond imagination.  You did a great job of making it heartfelt and I really loved the love story. "I cannot thank you for enough for the services you provided for our wedding day. It was so personal and so romantic and everyone agreed it was the most heartfelt ceremony they had ever been to. All this could not be possible without the personalised touch you brought to our ceremony along with the story of our love and relationship. You really are a stand out in this industry and went far above what we expected! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!” - Candice & Richard xoxo

Email Dearest Marilyn, I feel really sad that this will be our last email!! I am actually a bit emotional as I type it and when I typed out the attached thank you letter! Typical me, always getting teary! lol We really can't thank you enough for the beautiful person that you are and for all the love and amazing energies that you brought to our wedding. We love you!! Sarah & Joe

Love Letter Sarah + Joe Wedding St Aidan’s Church Eureka Northern NSW
Beautiful Marilyn, Where do we even start to thank you?! You are a very special person Full of Love, Laughter, Wisdom, Warmth and Care. From our very first phone call to you, right through the zillions of emails we sent back and forth and on the day of our wedding – we felt so lucky that you were our celebrant. Your professionalism and knowledge of the industry gave us a head start in the whole marriage process. Your endless resources made the task of co-creating a ceremony that much more easy and enjoyable. Your little tips like suggesting we start creating our ceremony months in advance so we could focus on the little things in the crazy lead up to the actual day were priceless. All brides – listen to Marilyn! She’s a pro! Thank you for listening to all of our input and creating the most beautiful, heartfelt and individualised ceremony we could ever have hoped for. It was perfect and very ‘us.’ So many guests came up to us afterwards asking about you and saying it was one of the most enjoyable ceremonies they had ever been to. You personalised it with our very own love story and celebrated our personalities and our relationship, you didn’t focus on all the traditional lines that you hear over and over again at weddings and it is so refreshing!! Thank you for your amazing skills at calming our nerves and for managing the crowd during the stressful time when the limo driver got lost, making the bride very late and the groom very, very anxious! We really can’t speak more highly of you as a person or as a celebrant. Thank you xo All our love, Sarah & Joseph

Love Letter Katie + Jacob Wedding Summergrove Estate Carool NSW
Dear Marilyn! We are so grateful that we found you! Words cannot express how lucky and grateful we are that we had you as our celebrant!  From the very beginning, many months before the ceremony you got us organised with all the paperwork and writing the ceremony! (Mostly planned by email using your resources while we were working in the Antarctic) it gave us such peace of mind! We loved working with you and after about 20 drafts we had the Perfect Personalized Ceremony! We were hoping for a perfect sunny sky for our outdoor ceremony but the weather had other ideas on the day of course and the rain started to fall just as Katie was walking down the aisle. We can only imagine how difficult is it would have been for you to keep the ceremony going. Thank you for going with the flow and regrouping the ‘Take Two’ inside on the dancefloor! Thank you for rolling with the punches with us. Thank you for being so organised and prepared for anything to happen! Thank you for your patience in using the DJ’s microphone! We recognise that it would have taken you out of your comfort zone and we really appreciate it! ! It was really your 11th hour support and aid that helped get Katie's family to the wedding that we can never say enough thank you's for! We'd love everyone to know that Marilyn went far above and beyond with writing and signing emergency official visa documents, out of business hours, for Katie's family to send to the embassy just days before the wedding so that they could come to Australia for the special day! The family have passed on their thanks too! Marilyn's true genuine kind hearted spirit is what we'll always remember her by. It's always a warm memory thinking back on the stressful events leading up to the wedding and knowing that Marilyn, who barely knew us was really truly there for us, supporting us! You are truly a genuinely kind hearted and generous person!  Thank you for working together with Julia to make sure that she had an understanding of how the ceremony would run so she could film it at the best possible angles. Thank you Marcel for being there too and for helping us and Marilyn! We wish you all the best for the future! Thank you so much Marilyn, you are such a special person to us and we are so grateful that we chose you as our celebrant! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so very much! You will always be a very special person to us!  We love you lots & lots!! Xx Jacob & Katie and love from Missy & Bandy too!

Love Letter Michelle + James Pether’s Rainforest Retreat North Tamborine
We are so glad we picked Marilyn to marry us. She was a great help throughout the whole process of getting married. She is knowledgeable, informative, responsive, professional, personal and caring. She had great ideas for our vows and her storytelling and presentation were also great! A real honour to have Marilyn marry us and be a part of our special day.

Love Letter Trelise + Jamie Wedding The Arbour Sirromet Winery Mount Cotton Redlands
MARILYN, YOU TRULY ARE FANTASTIC AT WHAT YOU DO and we will be FOREVER GRATEFUL for the time you spent with us and the help and guidance you offered in CREATING A PERFECT CEREMONY FOR US!  How can we thank you enough!? From the first call you seemed to just 'get' what we were looking for in a wedding ceremony and celebrant and our first meeting absolutely confirmed that feeling. YOU WROTE A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY THAT ENCOMPASSED JAMIE'S VIKING INTERESTS AS WELL AS KEEPING EVERYTHING ELEGANTLY SIMPLE, WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR ME! For two individuals who would normally be very uncomfortable in front of a crowd, we suddenly felt like we were the only people in the world and that was all in thanks to you! You were a wealth of knowledge from the beginning and with a single touch of my arm during our vows, your reassuring nature KEPT ME GROUNDED AND IN THE MOMENT when I could have easily fallen apart in tears. FROM START TO FINISH OUR DAY WAS PERFECT and I can say with confidence, our wedding would not have been what it was without your guidance, support and genuine interest in the story of us. I've struggled to put into words how truly wonderful you were and I don't think I can ever find the 'right' words to tell you how appreciated you are. A MILLION TIMES AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING AND FOR HELPING US CREATE OUR DREAM WEDDING! All our love, Trelise, Jamie & Archer xo

Love Letter Philadelphia + Jack Wedding Charles Darwin Catamaran Darwin Harbour Darwin
Marry Me Marilyn was the perfect choice for us and we can't thank her enough! Our perfect day was on the harbour up in Darwin. What a magical day with fireworks and sunset aboard a boat with all our family and friends. I was so nervous about the vows and with Marilyn's help on the day the words just flowed and for someone who normally hates public speaking this was just an amazing experience. We decided to write our love story for our wedding and this was all new to us as we hadn't heard much about it before. When Marilyn sent us through some examples we knew she was onto something and with her help it ended up being both emotional and funny with some great lines that had the crowd in stitches. Our guests told us our wedding ceremony was the best most interesting wedding they had ever seen. The ceremony itself went absolutely spot on with both my wife and I struggling with all the organising we were overwhelmed how well Marilyn pulled it all together with such professionalism. The ceremony was more in-depth than what we imagined. With some fresh ideas from Marilyn we co-created our own original sand & shell ceremony. This was so special for us and really touched our family. We were so happy with the way she organised our big day via Skype. The prep work all came together far better than we could have imagined :). Prior to our wedding we attended two other weddings of friends that were both good days. Unfortunately both ceremonies had the same bad celebrant that may have been a butcher in a past life and that's how we realised how important having a good celebrant really is. After doing some research we were lucky that Marilyn was available to travel across the country so we could be married by someone who really cares about her work and the couple. It's so refreshing not to be just a job but share in her passion to make your event perfect! Marilyn you made our day and we are forever grateful. Love Jack & Philadelphia x

Love Letter Ashleigh + Sam Wedding Laguna Sirromet Winery Mt Cotton Redlands Brisbane
MARILYN WAS AMAZING! SHE MADE THE BIGGEST DAY OF OUR LIVES THE MOST PERFECT EXPERIENCE WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. The personal service and the support and advice she gave us was invaluable. So many of our guests have said it was the BEST WEDDING CEREMONY THEY HAVE EVERY ATTENDED, the PERFECT BALANCE OF LOVE, LAUGHTER, INTIMACY AND FUN. We can't speak highly enough of you to anyone who'll listen. From our very first meeting we felt completely at ease, she had everything under control. The first draft that Marilyn did of our ceremony was so incredible we had tears on our eyes reading through it and made very few changes to it. It felt as if we'd known her for years, she got us, and was completely on board with the personal quirks we wanted included in our ceremony. Thank you so so much Marilyn, from the bottom of our hearts, the brand new Mr and Mrs Barber xoxo

Love Letter Claire + Dan Scottish Handfasting Wedding Pether’s Rainforest Retreat Mt Tamborine
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Marilyn is! We got engaged in 2012 and when we started to look for a celebrant, we came across Marilyn and something instantly drew us to her. 6 years on in 2019, we finally had the money to actually get married and despite all the time that had passed and having looked at other celebrants, we ended up back with Marilyn (again something just drew us to her). Living in NSW, we had to meet Marilyn via Skype and from that moment we knew why we had been drawn to her. The 1.5 hour Skype session flew past (even for my now hubby who hates chatting on the phone) and during this time she made us laugh and we made her cry with our love story. We booked her immediately and have never looked back. From that moment on, Marilyn kept in touch with us via email, sending us so much helpful information and we met with her twice at her home. We were greeted with a cuddle when we arrived and we felt like we had known her forever. She is super professional and you can tell she loves what she does. Nothing was too much trouble (not even sending her our personal vows two days before the wedding when she wanted them two weeks before lol). One of the things that drew us to Marilyn was the wide array of extras that she offers, one of which is a Scottish Hand-fasting. Being Scottish myself but marrying an Australian in Australia, I wanted some touches of home so the fact that Marilyn offered this was phenomenal. It was another amazing decision, as you can include various family members in your ceremony that otherwise would not have a role. During the ceremony, Marilyn kept us on track and grounded and more importantly calm. She made us beautiful wedding vow booklets and even took the time to find out what the wedding party were wearing so she could co-ordinate her outfit so as not to clash with the colours we were using. We guarantee that if you chose Marilyn, you will not regret it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Marilyn. We met as strangers and parted as friends x Love Claire & Dan xoxo P.S. during one of our meetings you told us not to be nervous because sometimes, it was the "imperfect moments" that made the "perfect pictures". You weren't wrong as you can see from the attached picture when I dropped Dan's ring and the photographer captured it mid drop!

Love Letter Clare + Dylan Wedding Moonlight Crag O’Reilly's Rainforest Retreat Lamington NP
Marilyn is a very special celebrant. We interviewed a few celebrants and chose Marilyn because she is relational, wise, interested in the world and clearly passionate about her job. Marilyn's work was still way beyond our expectations. She has a special gift: the way she supported us in developing our personalised wedding ceremony, especially our vows, was great. Marilyn guided us straight to the heart and soul of our relationship and helped us identify our shared values and the things that we would promise each other, to nurture our relationship forming a firm foundation on which to grow. We had a very intentional and personal ceremony. Our love story provided the fun factor! Everyone enjoyed hearing our adventures full of romance, love and laughter. The day went perfectly and we felt present, excited and in love on the day.

Love Letter Crystal + Nathan Wedding Coolibah Downs Estate Mount Nathan
Marilyn is an amazing celebrant! She goes beyond expectations (and does more than what others in her field offer) to ensure her couples are ready for their big day. Marilyn brings with her a bank of great resources and knowledge, and really makes you feel like you’ve known her a life time. Thank you Marilyn for marrying us ❤️ Crystal + Nathan

Email from Katrina; Marilyn you did an amazing job with our ceremony and honestly we reminisce on our magical day so very often. Thank you so much or everything! We can’t thank you enough for fairy tale style uniting and binding us with the most beautiful handfasting to my soul mate. The Love Story you told continues! love Katrina x

Love Letter Katrina + Michael's Handfasting Wedding Rotunda Sails Sutton's Beach Redcliffe
From the very first time we met Marilyn, we felt as if there was something magical happening. It may have only been via Skype, but we finally felt contented in having found the exact person we wanted - she ticked all our boxes. Marilyn had a warm, calm and confident presence and we soon arranged a meeting at her lovely home to start the ball rolling. She was professional, caring, respectful and open minded. She employed a very elegant technique of collaborative creation - helping to design our wedding ceremony with as much or little help from her as we wanted. There were no rights or wrongs, no pressure, only help and support. If we wanted to be in full control of our wedding, that was fine. If we wanted Marilyn to take full control, that was fine also. But in the end, we worked together almost symbiotically, bouncing ideas off each other, learning about each other and fine-tuning our ceremony. It was amazing how quickly Marilyn felt like an old friend. It was evident from the 'Love Story' that Marilyn had created for us, that she understood us very well. On our actual wedding day, it was raining at first, but almost miraculously the clouds parted and all became calm over the water just as our ceremony was about to start. Our ceremony flowed beautifully and Marilyn took us and everyone present on a wonderful journey. At times we laughed, at times we cried, it had the full gamut of emotions. We had the most amazing afternoon and were able to get many incredible photos, just before a storm rolled through during the reception. Thanks Marilyn, you helped to make our wedding day an unforgettable day! Love, Michael and Katrina Hague xox

Love Letter Kirsty + Vlad Wedding Glengariff Historic Estate & Winery Dayboro Valley
Dear Marilyn, It has been 1 month and 10 days since our wedding day and so far so good – blissful in fact.  We wanted to express our thanks to you for all you did for us on our special day. In planning a wedding I didn’t really know where to start, the first place I thought to look was the Internet and I came across a site for celebrants – there were literally 100’s.  I didn’t really have a plan of attack in choosing one so I read a little about a few on the site and sent off enquiries to them.  Out of the half that decided to respond, I got a few that were very pushy and a few that didn’t have much experience, and then I heard from you.  From the beginning you came across as being there for US on OUR day – not for the JOB.  Out of all the little and big things you have to do to plan a wedding you lose sight of what it is your doing it all for and you got us excited and brought us back to that meaning.  You discussed with us what we wanted to do, where it was to be held, gave us some suggestions of different things we could do to make it more memorable not only to us but to our guests also – and this was from the first phone call. It was fun and light-hearted in some parts, touching and meaningful in others – it was perfect. So thanks again for making our day extra special and I look forward to seeing you again (when we book you in for our first born naming ceremony).Yours faithfully, Mr & Mrs Popa.

Love Letter Marti + Simon Handfasting Wedding at Riverglenn Indooroopilly Brisbane
Dear Marilyn, We are writing to you for two reasons.  Firstly, to say a huge THANK YOU for helping us achieve the most wonderful wedding and celebration of love.  With your wisdom and amazing skills, our wedding was more beautiful and special, than even we could have envisioned. Secondly, we want to tell you just how special YOU are. From start to finish you provided care, clarity, wisdom and inspiration, not only in your approach with us, but also in the necessary processes. You were open and inviting to new ideas and supported us with a magical energy that we definitely connected with and which we shared throughout the journey together. You helped us bring out into words and ritual, the energy and love we have shared for so long and helped us express this and share this with our friends and family.  You helped us express to our community how grateful we are for the connection and love Simon and I both share and for the ways in which this is experienced with our family members and friends. It is with you and your experience and skills that we were able to achieve our dreams of a celebration of love, which would not only be remembered, but which would be felt for years to come! Marilyn, you were the perfect person to have as our celebrant!  We are so deeply grateful and feel so blessed to have shared this amazing moment with you.  Thank you and we hope you like the photos.With loads of love and happiness, Simon and Marti xoxoxoxox

Love Letter Sarah + Mauro Wedding Main Beach Main Beach Northern Gold Coast
"Sarah and I organized our wedding in almost one month, as I was coming from abroad we had to make a lot of decisions in a little time. While we were surfing the net we bumped into the Marry Me Marilyn web site. We were impressed by Marilyn’s experience in a range of different ceremonies… they were really special and touching and basically we wanted to incorporate all of them!   We choose Marilyn without even getting to know her and exactly one month and one day before the wedding we were at her place planning our wedding from scratch. Since the first meeting with her we felt we had made the right decision: she was just great! Perhaps the most important thing about your wedding is for the ceremony to be personalized for both yourself and your partner… the celebrant needs to understand how your couple is unique then create around you the perfect wedding, this takes time, sensitivity and passion. Marilyn was perfect in all of this! From that first day we felt that we were not just a job for her but that she would have gone the extra mile to understand us and to make our ceremony unique. She is also really precise, thoughtful and easy to deal with. In two weeks she helped us to design the perfect ceremony while she never rushed us. We got married on a beautiful, perhaps too windy day at Main Beach. I think that day Marilyn made all the young couples present at the wedding want to marry straight away, some of our friends even asked for her contacts! We highly recommend Marilyn she is the perfect choice for your big day!” love Sarah & Mauro x

Love Letter Candy + Joe Helicopter Wedding Marina Mirage Gold Coast
Dear Marilyn, Thank you for weaving your magic on our special day.  We went through many websites until we came across yours and were captivated initially by your spiritual style of ceremony and the fact you were a resource of information and suitable locations. We wanted a boutique wedding but something that was different and memorable. When we came up with the idea of getting married in a Helicopter, you were as excited as we were – why not get married 5000 feet over Main Beach at 200KMPH on a glorious Gold Coast Day! Sounded crazy at the time but you took control and eliminated so much pressure for us. On the day you united Candy and myself with your beautiful words. The icing on the cake was making my son Michael part of the ceremony and having special vows that united the three of us all as one. For anyone that is looking for a special person that will be as passionate about their day as you are, it is impossible to go past you. Thank you Sincerely for your passion and inspiration. Candy and Joe XXX

Love Letter Melissa + Leslie Wedding Bilinga Surf Lifesaving Club Bilinga Gold Coast
A SPECIAL THANK YOU - We chose Marilyn as our celebrant after briefly looking on the Internet for a suitable person to marry us on 3rd September 2010.  Our choice to go with her was initially based on her website, she seemed lovely even from her photos and we liked that she offered different types of ceremonies including sand ceremonies, which we didn't really know anything about but liked the idea of. We had a rough idea of what we wanted and we certainly didn't want a "traditional" wedding, we wanted to have vows which reflected our personalities and desires and to leave the guests inspired (not bored! Like so many weddings can leave you feeling). We met with Marilyn at her home, with our children after a morning at the beach and she was so welcoming to all of us, she even let our children have a swim in her pool so we could get along with business and they could have fun!!   We discussed what we wanted, Marilyn told us what she offered and gave us access to her website which we found to be extremely helpful with an abundance of resources and links which we used entirely to plan our ceremony.  Marilyn was always there to help and to answer questions when we got confused or stressed!  We found her to be professional, down to earth, very experienced and above all a beautiful person who obviously gets a lot of pleasure from her work. The ceremony was perfect, all thanks to Marilyn, and the guests were so impressed with the sand ceremony and the fact that we included our two boys aged 4 and 9 which we originally hadn't thought was really possible beyond the fact that one was the ring bearer and the other was a groomsman!  Marilyn suggested ideas and the resources helped to tie everything together so that we were uniting not only as a couple but as a family unit. It was a beautiful, unforgettable and absolutely perfect ceremony, thank you so so so very much Marilyn, without you it would have been virtually impossible and I know it would not have been any where near as memorable for us and our guests! With very kind regards, The Overtons x

Love Letter Banthip + Sai Wedding The Lakeside Hut Gold Coast Botanic Gardens Benowa
Marilyn is the best marriage celebrant in the world everything was totally perfect for our wedding ceremony, she did an excellent job in every detail from start to finish. From the first time I contacted Marilyn to after the wedding she was extremely helpful as she is such a kind, cheerful and warm person. I felt like I had known her for many years and she has such a great soul on her. Her celebrant service to us was totally outstanding and so accomplished as she always strives for perfection. Marilyn wrote an brilliant wedding ceremony for us with a beautiful touching poem that brought tears to our eyes that remembered my recently departed brother in law. Marilyn included the Rod Nam Sang Shell Ceremony that celebrated my wife’s Thai heritage and her mother and father began the Shell Ceremony with a water blessing as in the Thai Tradition then the family followed with their blessings. I want to thank Marilyn so much for helping me with my personal wedding vows for the big day 10/10/2013. When I think of my vows on the day it brings tears to my eyes and I cannot believe how powerful my vows were, especially as they came from my heart. I normally never cry but during my vows the tears welled up and I tried not to cry. Thanks to Marilyn also for helping Banthip with her vows as they were so beautiful. I'm very happy and impressed with all the work and effort Marilyn put in for us, it was spot on. Marilyn’s work is totally outstanding, professional and touching with extraordinary attention to detail. We were very lucky to have her as our Marriage Celebrant as she fulfilled all of our needs and expectations and more. Banthip and I love your work and we thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect! We will both remember this very special day for the rest of our lives. Kind regards,  Sai Huynh & Banthip Butprasit xoxo Thank You Marilyn for helping to find our amazing photographers Corne & Lara Photography

Love Letter Samantha + Shane Wedding Stamford Plaza Brisbane City
EVERYONE came up to us and COMPLIMENTED US ON OUR WEDDING CEREMONY and they still do to this day. Out of every single person we met throughout the phase of our wedding organisations, MARILYN was by far the KINDEST and MOST UNDERSTANDING PERSON.  We really felt like she was one of our family with her excitement and enthusiasm towards our wedding. Honestly the wedding would not have been what it was if it wasn't for Marilyn. So many other services were just there for the money they could make from the wedding.  NOT ONCE did we get that feeling from Marilyn.  She was so good to go to even about having worries and concerns in the lead up to the wedding and how to come through these. Marilyn was so helpful in organizing all the small details and wrapping together our dreams of a wedding that we had always envisaged. We had vows we had wanted to write and Marilyn was so helpful in putting all this together. Our story was so important to us, along with our vows. Marilyn also dressed so beautifully and blended into our wedding colours as if though she was dressed with the bride and bridesmaids. She looked absolutely beautiful and it was such an honour to have her do our ceremony for us. I hope she is still doing the same thing when my children grow up so we can keep her in the family! Love Samantha & Shane xoxo

Love Letter Deb + Don Wedding Chapel Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Gold Coast
Hi Marilyn, Don and I wanted to write to you to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the WONDERFUL WORK you put into our wedding on the 7/7/17. You made our ceremony exactly what we wanted. We have had so many comments on HOW AMAZING OUR WEDDING WAS and how much love was put into our vows. From the tears from Don when he saw me walk in, to the laughter from our humorous promises we made to each other. The ceremony set the scene for the rest of the day and night. We and all our guests had the most awesome day. We wish we could do it all again. You truly are a FANTASTIC CELEBRANT and PERSON that we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone that is looking at getting married to consider you for their ceremony. Thanks again Don & Debbie O'Mara xxxxx

Love Letter Judy + Henry Wedding Chapel Albert River Winery Tamborine Queensland
We had lots of laughs throughout our wedding ceremony and Marilyn will be fondly remembered as a fabulous part of our perfect day! With Marilyn you get PERFECTION, and she will re-draft your ceremony with as much of your input until it’s just perfect! Marilyn married us on 23 October 2016 at Tamborine and by that day, she seemed more like an old friend, which was wonderful and comforting! Leading up to the wedding we had met with her to discuss and shape our wedding ceremony, and parts where we weren’t sure, she effortlessly guided us through by making suggestions or by giving us plenty of resources to think about. We had no idea how much was actually involved! But then we came to realise that we’d actually been very lucky in having chosen Marilyn to marry us: You might find a slightly cheaper celebrant to come on the day and just marry you, or you can chose Marilyn and be assured of getting a personalised wedding service that’ll be remembered by all that attended, it really is a matter of you get what you pay for! Love Judy & Henry xoxo

Love Letter Monique + Josh Wedding Boomerang Farm Mudgeeraba Gold Coast
Hi Marilyn, We just wanted to say a massive thankyou for our wedding ceremony. It was amazing and it was completely us. Your idea of doing the ceremony early in the organising was such a fantastic idea as it allowed the lead up to the wedding to be so enjoyable, effortless and kept everything really well spaced out :) All our guests commented about how beautiful the ceremony was and was us to a T. The ceremony really paved the way for the fantastic night that followed and was just so enjoyable and amazing. we cant thankyou you enough we wouldn't of changed anything about the day :) Thankyou so much Monique and Josh xoxo

Love Letter Kasey + Owen Wedding Boomerang Farm Mudgeeraba Gold Coast
So many people commented that our wedding ceremony was special and unique and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! From the moment we walked in Marilyn's front door, she made us feel so comfortable and welcome. Within 5 minutes of sitting down and talking to her, we felt like we had known her our whole lives! As soon as we left her house, Owen and I looked at each other and smiled, as we knew she would be the perfect person to marry us. We wanted our own special ceremony right from the start, and Marilyn was always suggesting options for us. The end result was absolutely magical. We wrote the whole ceremony ourselves with Marilyn in a co-creation process and Marilyn executed it perfectly, and told our love story exactly as it should have been told! Thank you Marilyn, for making our memories of our special day so amazing! Thank you again for everything, and we wish you all the happiness for the future! Kasey & Owen xo

Love Letter Samantha + Michael Wedding Tamborine Gardens Chapel Mt Tamborine
Hi Marilyn, Mike and I would like to say a huge thank you for marrying us on 9 September 2016. Initially we were worried that we would have difficulty writing our love story and vows but with your guidance through drafts and the tips and tricks on your website, we couldn't be happier with the end result. It was a ceremony that was unique to us and we had nothing but great feedback from our guests on the day. The love story was definitely one of the favourite parts of our ceremony for both us and our guests (many of whom learnt more about our relationship on the day :)) Thank you for being sincere, approachable and efficient and thank you for guiding us and helping us put together a ceremony that captured our love for each other perfectly. We are also very grateful for the beautiful copy of our ceremony, it is keepsake we will treasure forever. We have already, and will continue to, recommend you to family and friends. Kind regards, Samantha & Michael xoxo

Love Letter Natasha + Cameron Wedding The Providence Farm Hall Beechmont GC Hinterland
Thank you so much for Saturday! It was such a perfect day :-) Marilyn was such a lovely lady to deal with and after about a 10 minute phone call with her to discuss what she does I knew she would be perfect for me and H2B! My partner is very shy and felt she could accommodate that. Which she did.. he was so confident on the day and I feel it was cause Marilyn had such good advice.. She helped us with the whole ceremony planning, with about 10 drafts we finally had it just the way we liked and it was just US! I would recommend her any day. She is open to do whatever you want to do. We added in a “Love Lock Ceremony” to our wedding and it was amazing as well! Thanks so much Marilyn for everything and for making me officially Mrs Kingston.

Love Letter Sarah + John Haynes Wedding Philip Park Main Beach Northern Gold Coast
Dear Marilyn, We would like to write to you to say thank you very much for our wedding day on the 1st of October. The whole day went perfect and you made us feel comfortable. Thank you for suggesting that John kiss me as I get there it really did calm my nerves a little. You had so much advice to give, and one thing I am going to miss is our conversations on the phone. You were always professional but so easy to talk to at the same time; it was like having a conversation with someone I had known for years. So thank you for that. Our secret ritual was a hit we received so many compliments on that idea people were saying 'how cute' and 'what a beautiful idea' so thank you again. We look forward finishing the ceremony on our 20th anniversary :) I have attached a few photos for you to have. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us Marilyn. Our parents loved the surprise ring warming too, they thought it was lovely that we included them in our ceremony and we are glad we kept it a surprise. Thank you Marilyn! Sarah & John Haynes xoxox

Love Letter Alison + Roland Wedding Hilltop Mavis' Kitchen Mount Warning NSW
Marilyn was Absolutely Amazing to work with, and far exceeded our expectations. She spent time getting to know us leading up to the wedding, offering guidance and support along the way which helped make our day so special and personal. The whole ceremony was relaxed, casual and fun from beginning to end which was exactly what we had hoped for. Marilyn is a true professional with a passion for what she does, and it shows. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant, but Marilyn was far more than that, and we are thrilled that she was part of our special day. Love Alison & Roland x
