‘We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you created for us on our wedding day! It was personal, fun and exactly what we hoped for. Dad even raved about you in his speech, for the words you chose and they way you put them together to capture what marriage is all about’

‘Having Mel officiate our special day was such an easy decision. From getting in contact, to our first meeting over a cup of tea, and on the day itself Mel was genuine, kind and invested in our story. Mel tailored our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it while offering a tips and professional service to ensure the ceremony ran as smoothly as possible. Would definitely recommend ❤️’ Peter & Kate, Glen Innes March 2020

John & I wanted a small wedding, with just ourselves & two of our friends as witnesses. Even though we weren’t doing the big wedding, we still wanted our ceremony to be memorable as it was the most important day of our lives. Mel had lots of ideas for our ceremony & it ended up being perfect…..just what we had asked for. Mel was great putting it all together, keeping us in the loop all the way, & always available to answer any queries we may have had. Having met & spoken with Mel on several occasions prior to our wedding day put us all at ease, which on the day made it more intimate, & at times humorous. We both thank you Mel for making our day so special. Claire & John. Australian Standing Stones 2017

I’m so happy we had you as our celebrant! Couldn’t have picked a more fitting person for us. Your professionalism is amazing and your advice and approach to the events in the day were extremely comforting, particularly for brad who was certainly showing his nerves even on the rehearsal. We are just so chuffed that we are husband and wife!!!! Thank you soo much again for guiding us through this important stage in our life ❤️ Bec and brad
With thanks to the amazingly talented photographers I have had the pleasure to work with
(plus I’ve included a few of my own happy snaps!!) ….
‘Dear Mel, We can not begin to thank you enough for being such a very special part of Noah’s Naming Day. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. We received so many compliments on what a lovely ceremony you performed and how personal it was for us. Friends and family commented on your friendly and warm nature. We appreciated your ability to include Noah when he took such an active interest in your microphone during the ceremony. You were so patient when we were unorganised and you handled all the last minute changes I threw at you with grace and a smile. Thank you for helping us make our ceremony our very own. Your knowledge and experience helped to guide us but also allowed us to be creative and unique. We are so very thankful that we found you!’ Tamara, Chris and Noah Watters
Bob and I were so lucky to have Mel as our celebrant, our wedding was very thought out as we were married in a very traditional Celtic ceremony. The amazing amount of work the Mel put into the ceremony, from the time put into researching Celtic wedding ceremonies to writing the most beautiful vows she is amazing. My Husband and I could not recommend anyone better suited for any wedding no matter what you are looking to do whether very traditional to something more unusual, Mel will make your special day the best it can be. It was a day that we will never forget and that’s very much a big part because of Mel’s amazing work. Naomi and Bob Blair Photo courtesy of Steve Wright

‘I would like to take the time to thank our celebrant Melissa Lindsay for making Roberts and my day so special. Our ceremony was fabulous personalised to add little touches that meant so much to us. Mel walked us through the process from the start beginning with the required paperwork MEL was so professional, caring, friendly, approachable.
I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a celebrant.
Thanks Mel for everything don’t despair we will still have face book to stay in contact lol. Robert & Renae, November 2016
It gives us great pleasure to write a testimonial for Mel who recently officiated at our marriage. Mel actually takes the time to get to know her clients prior to the ceremony, hence, when the event occurs it is relaxed and friendly but more personal. Having said this, we must add that, at all times, Mel holds the highest standard of professionalism and is a credit to her chosen career. We have no hesitation in recommending Mel as the perfect celebrant. Brian & Val, New England Motor Lodge, June 2016

We would like to say a huge Thank you to Mel for our wedding ceremony! We were a bit nervous about the whole process but Mel made us feel very comfortable and made it so special for both of us. She was very helpful when it came to ideas for the location of the ceremony and other little details to make our day really special. Our ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted. We even received a gift and a card from Mel after the ceremony to congratulate us and wish us well for the future! We recommend Mel to any couple who are planning on getting married, you will not be disappointed! Brigette & Charlie, Washpool National Park, April 2016
Hi Mel, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done to make our day perfect. You are a beautiful lady and I’m glad we got to have you as part of our memories, for the rest of our lives xxoo Michelle & Nathan Jan 2016 Photo credit: Tony Grant
