Bec and Joey November 2017 Elizabeth Beach. Hi Lorraine, Thank you so very much for being part of our amazing day. You were the most perfect celebrant. You were just amazing in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. You made us both feel totally at ease and understood the fun and relaxed vibe that we wanted. From the moment we met you, we knew our wedding would be perfect, thank you so much.
Kind Regards Bec and Joey
Cassie and Alex November 2017 The Green Cathedral Hi Lorraine, Thanks again for all your help with our big day. We think everything was great. The pre meeting definately helped to go through the schedule for the day. Made us more relaxed and prepared for what was going to happen. Having attended my friends wedding the day after at the Green Cathedral it was really great to see just how good you were. The microphone was loud enough and it was great how you told us at the rehersal to hold the mic close to your mouth and it was nice how you moved around and didn't stand between us the whole time and the little bits of humour made it more natural and modern. I think you are great at what you do and what better a location than what you have. I wouldnt change a thing!! Thanks again so much, Cass and Alex
Tamara and Lee November 2017 Blueys Beach Thank you for everything on the lead up to our wedding and everything on the wedding day it was beyond perfect! You were perfect! We were beyond happy with your whole service! From the laid back and chilled vibes with wording that made our day. Your punctuality and professionalism was excellent and you also present yourself well. We were so nervous how the ceremony would run but you made our wedding a breeze and just how we wished it to be. Thank you very much! Tamara and Lee
Mandie and Stu November 2017 Elizabeth Beach Thank-you so much Lorraine, you were an amazing celebrant we had so many people come to us and say how amazing you were and that we made a great choice. We agree 100% You really made our day flow perfectly and we couldn’t fault a single thing about the whole experience we feel so blessed to have had such a perfect day. Thanks again so much for all of your help and for being a huge part in making our wedding day amazing, stress free and a day we will always remember as being nothing but perfect xx
Gary and Maya October 2017 Forster We are so appreciative of your assistance before and on the big day. You helped two fairly clueless people have a very lovely wedding. In fact, my friends from the Philippines have said that's the kind of wedding they want! The whole process was so very smooth. We couldn't have picked a better celebrant. Thank you so much. My best, Maya Maya and Gary
Steph and Tim September 2017 The Green Cathedral It was such a priveledge to have you as our celebrant, we really appreciated your knowledge of the Green Cathedral and expertise in how to run the ceremony efficiently. From when I first made contact, you were easy to reach and quick to respond and we have absolutely no complaints. We really felt like that you were invested in our wedding day, and making it as smooth and as wonderful as it ended up being. Even my mum said that she thought you were the perfect choice as our celebrant. The ceremony planning was great for you to be able to get to know us and you definitely understood us very quickly. The suggestions you gave us for the various aspects of the ceremony really helped us to comprehend the ceremony and helped us write our own versions of vows and rings exchange etc. The rehearsal was efficient and thorough and ensured the ceremony was perfect (which it definitely was!). Thanks again for everything, we could not be more grateful for everything you have done for us. Lorraine you were wonderful - easy to get in touch with, made us feel comfortable about the whole process from the very beginning and really helped us to put together the perfect ceremony. Steph and Tim
Sam and Phill September 2017 Nabiac The meeting at your house was very professional, friendly and informative
Prior to rehearsal there was a great level of contact and information. Rehearsal was great as it calmed me. I was more nervous saying my vows the day before the actual day. The rehearsal made us confident that everything would run well! Our Ceremony was absolutely perfect. We were extremely happy with how you presented yourself and the service.Thank you again. We will be recommending you to others :)
Love Sam and Phill

From the moment we first met you at the wedding expo, our ongoing emails, our first official meeting, our rehearsal and finally our special day; you have been nothing but friendly, supportive, guiding and a pleasure to work alongside.

Ali and Luke November 2015 The Green Cathedral Lorraine,We cannot thank you enough for how amazing you were on our special day.
I'm sure I have watched my video 100 times & every time I start to watch it your powerful voice is the first thing we hear. We cannot thank you enough for the warmth you gave to our ceremony. The pre ceremony planning was a lot of fun when we left we felt like we had met you before Emailing was great way to communicate for me having such a busy lifestyle & there was never a time when you had not replied with in the same day. Rehearsal wasn't a great day, due to the weather of course, but we got through & you made sure that windy or not we were going to get married there. Both Luke and I would recommend you to everyone, as I never realised how important an amazing celebrant is.They do more than just marry you,they are a big part of your day, you were to us. Thanks again xx Love Ali & Luke
Lauren and Remi November 2015 Boomerang Beach Thank you Lorraine for conducting a beautiful ceremony.

You took time to listen to our story and personalize the wedding without judgement to exactly what we had imagined. Thank you for making our day so special! Lauren and Remi
Kate and Dave November 2015 The Green Cathedral We're still on a bit of a high from the amazing wedding weekend. You were great and I had many comments from my guests telling me so, including my mum! I must admit you made the whole process before the ceremony incredibly easy. You explained everything very well and all the information you provided enabled us to plan our ceremony with a fair amount of ease and enjoyment. I wasn't sure whether to do a rehearsal but so glad we did. It enabled everything to run smoothly on the day and we weren't left with any surprises. And Oh.. we loved the ceremony! It was our favourite part of the day! Your warm nature suited our ceremony perfectly as did your humour. The way you conducted the ceremony was just beautiful. I loved how you read our scripts away from the microphone so our guests only heard us speak those lines. So many of my guests had the same comment "it was the most romantic & beautiful ceremony I've even been to". The magic setting, your perfect guidance and the love Dave and I expressed all came together to make a wonderfully touching ceremony. Thank you. We'd love to do it again!" Kate and Dave
Kimberly and Mitchell November 2015 The Green Cathedral Thank you so much for our ceremony, it was amazing. All of my emails were responded to very efficiently and I was never waiting to hear back. Communication and the preceremony planning meeting was very useful and informative, much better then just over the phone. It was great to meet our celebrant and go through everything face to face.Everything was perfect!!! The rehearsal;so glad you offer this; we knew exactly what to expect on the day and it was great. You are very professional with your work and such a lovely person and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to marry us. Kimberly and Mitchell
April and Tom November 2015 The Green Cathedral Everything was so well organised, ceremony was just how we wanted short and sweet, but still personal and about us.

Tracey and Corey March 13 2015 The Green Cathedral We both enjoyed the day but it went way too fast. All our pre-ceremony meetings were great. Emails and communication were fantastic as we were here and you there, it was the best and easiest way to keep up to date and in contact. Loved our rehearsal ...it was funny and a good way for you to meet Mum and Dad. Our ceremony was perfect. Thanks so much for everything. Tracey and Corey
Jacinta and Brian March 7 2015 Lansdowne We were very happy with you as our celebrant, we could not have done better! You are the right mix of warmth, sensitivity, humour, support and calmness. You presented everything well. We had a wonderful ceremony and it was so special to have our kids be a part of it. Friends and family were so happy, many of them in tears with joy!! We really liked the relaxed attitude you took right from our first meeting, and not pressuring us when we did not keep up to the timetable! We were sorry we were not able to spend a little time with you before you and Bill left - we did not plan for the photographer to abduct us for so long. I hope that from your perspective it was as easy to work with us as we found it to work with you.Best wishes Love Jacinta and Brian
Georgah and Steve February 27 2015 The Green Cathedral Pacific Palms Hi Lorraine, We just wanted to say thanks so much for being our marriage celebrant.

Georgah & Steve
Claudia and Danny January 2015 One Mile Beach Lorraine, thanks again soooo much for being the most amazing celebrant!!

It really was the most special, perfect day with amazing memories, including the last minute location change! Claudia and Danny
Stacey and Kynan December 2014 Number 1 Beach Seal Rocks Kynan and I just wanted to thank you for making our day so special. I can't believe how lucky we were with the weather. Thank you again. Stacey and Kynan
Sally and Matthew December 2014 Boat Beach Seal Rocks Matthew and I couldn't have been happier with our little wedding! It was everything we wanted it to be and we are very grateful to you for everything you did in gently leading us through the process of organisation and for being such a lovely presence on the day. I can't believe we were lucky enough to find you! So lovely to meet someone with such genuine warmth and a sense of humour. I only wish I lived closer and we had the opportunity to get to know each other better. I can honestly say I couldn't suggest a single thing to improve the service you gave us all the way through. As we were overseas leading up to the date and Matthew was in Melbourne before that I really appreciated the way you kept us on track with regular emails about what we needed to do. It felt a disorganised time but somehow I always knew you were in control as your communication was always prompt and clear and that made me calm. I really enjoyed our long chat on the phone so it felt like we were being married by a friend. You took all the stress out of the process by giving us choices for the ceremony, providing the table, chair, sound system etc. We both thought you did a wonderful job of conducting the ceremony and Matthew especially liked the way you said things to us during it that were off the microphone. We appreciated that you dressed so perfectly to compliment our beach setting and the White theme. Your jacket looks so good in the photos! It has been an absolute pleasure to have met you. Thank you again Lorraine. I wish you a wonderful year ahead.Sally & Matthew

Our meetings via Skype and in person were excellent, you seem to have an ability to understand people in a short space of time. Ceremony was perfect...organisation. sound, whole ceremony went without a hitch. Because you understood us so well the ceremony felt so special and emotional. You were a really calming influence especially as I am a very emotional person Megan and Ben
Marcee and Danny from USA October 2014 at Boat Beach Seal Rocks Lorraine everything was perfect, we could not have wished for a better ceremony.

Amy and Peter August 2013 The Gables Lorraine, you were readily available to us right from the go. Whether it be in person, by phone or by email, we never had to wait for replies to questions. All of the suggestions you made for our ceremony were well thought out with our individuality in mind, ensuring we had a beautiful ceremony that was totally us. You had the right balance of professionalism, humour and warmth to suit our needs. Your amazing organisational skills and attention to detail became very apparent on our big day. During the rehearsal we ironed out any kinks; not that there were many at that stage; so that on the day everything ran seamlessly. You also did a great job calming any slightly frayed nerves. We are not sure that "thank you" covers it! It meant so much to us that you were the one to marry us. You gave us the perfect ceremony and for that we are truly grateful. Amy and Peter
Keira and Andrew May 2013 Figtree Byron Bay Thank you for your brilliant and friendly delivery of our wedding ceremony. It was an outstanding, clearly constructed ceremony with even flow and direction. We really appreciated your approach and openness to create our perfect day, short, sweet and personal. Your organisation and communication made us feel at ease and that everything was under control. You showed flexibility, having two sites pre-organised and simple transfer between the two due to weather. You were sincere, with a genuine, caring approach. Written and personal presentation were immaculate.We both appreciated the effort put into the process very much Andy & Keira

Cassie and Alex November 2017 The Green Cathedral Hi Lorraine, Thanks again for all your help with our big day. We think everything was great. The pre meeting definately helped to go through the schedule for the day. Made us more relaxed and prepared for what was going to happen. Having attended my friends wedding the day after at the Green Cathedral it was really great to see just how good you were. The microphone was loud enough and it was great how you told us at the rehersal to hold the mic close to your mouth and it was nice how you moved around and didn't stand between us the whole time and the little bits of humour made it more natural and modern. I think you are great at what you do and what better a location than what you have. I wouldnt change a thing!! Thanks again so much, Cass and Alex

Gary and Maya October 2017 Forster We are so appreciative of your assistance before and on the big day. You helped two fairly clueless people have a very lovely wedding.

My best, Maya Maya and Gary
Steph and Tim September 2017 The Green Cathedral It was such a priveledge to have you as our celebrant, we really appreciated your knowledge of the Green Cathedral and expertise in how to run the ceremony efficiently. From when I first made contact, you were easy to reach and quick to respond and we have absolutely no complaints. We really felt like that you were invested in our wedding day, and making it as smooth and as wonderful as it ended up being. Even my mum said that she thought you were the perfect choice as our celebrant. The ceremony planning was great for you to be able to get to know us and you definitely understood us very quickly. The suggestions you gave us for the various aspects of the ceremony really helped us to comprehend the ceremony and helped us write our own versions of vows and rings exchange etc. The rehearsal was efficient and thorough and ensured the ceremony was perfect (which it definitely was!). Thanks again for everything, we could not be more grateful for everything you have done for us. Lorraine you were wonderful - easy to get in touch with, made us feel comfortable about the whole process from the very beginning and really helped us to put together the perfect ceremony. Steph and Tim

We will be recommending you to others :)
Love Sam and Phill

Karin and Doug January 2016 Pacific Palms Resort Thanks again for your services on our special day. We would like to thank you specially for the fact that we gave you such a short time to prepare the paperwork you did. We were very appreciative of the way your created a very warm ceremony and even went the extra mile to give us some flowers from your own garden. The communication before the day was excellent and we were given all necessary paperwork and information needed to comply. We were very happy and lucky to have you as our wedding celebrant and have no hesitation in recommending you to other couples. Karin and Doug
Ali and Luke November 2015 The Green Cathedral Lorraine,We cannot thank you enough for how amazing you were on our special day.
I'm sure I have watched my video 100 times & every time I start to watch it your powerful voice is the first thing we hear. We cannot thank you enough for the warmth you gave to our ceremony. The pre ceremony planning was a lot of fun when we left we felt like we had met you before Emailing was great way to communicate for me having such a busy lifestyle & there was never a time when you had not replied with in the same day. Rehearsal wasn't a great day, due to the weather of course, but we got through & you made sure that windy or not we were going to get married there. Both Luke and I would recommend you to everyone, as I never realised how important an amazing celebrant is.They do more than just marry you,they are a big part of your day, you were to us. Thanks again xx Love Ali & Luke
Lauren and Remi November 2015 Boomerang Beach Thank you Lorraine for conducting a beautiful ceremony. The whole process of before, during and after the wedding was conducted with patience and professionalism. You took time to listen to our story and personalize the wedding without judgement to exactly what we had imagined. Thank you for making our day so special! Lauren and Remi
Kate and Dave November 2015 The Green Cathedral We're still on a bit of a high from the amazing wedding weekend. You were great and I had many comments from my guests telling me so, including my mum! I must admit you made the whole process before the ceremony incredibly easy. You explained everything very well and all the information you provided enabled us to plan our ceremony with a fair amount of ease and enjoyment. I wasn't sure whether to do a rehearsal but so glad we did. It enabled everything to run smoothly on the day and we weren't left with any surprises. And Oh.. we loved the ceremony! It was our favourite part of the day! Your warm nature suited our ceremony perfectly as did your humour. The way you conducted the ceremony was just beautiful. I loved how you read our scripts away from the microphone so our guests only heard us speak those lines. So many of my guests had the same comment "it was the most romantic & beautiful ceremony I've even been to". The magic setting, your perfect guidance and the love Dave and I expressed all came together to make a wonderfully touching ceremony. Thank you. We'd love to do it again!" Kate and Dave
Kimberly and Mitchell November 2015 The Green Cathedral Thank you so much for our ceremony, it was amazing. All of my emails were responded to very efficiently and I was never waiting to hear back. Communication and the preceremony planning meeting was very useful and informative, much better then just over the phone. It was great to meet our celebrant and go through everything face to face.Everything was perfect!!! The rehearsal;so glad you offer this; we knew exactly what to expect on the day and it was great. You are very professional with your work and such a lovely person and we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to marry us. Kimberly and Mitchell
April and Tom November 2015 The Green Cathedral Everything was so well organised, ceremony was just how we wanted short and sweet, but still personal and about us.

Prue and Tom March 14 2015 The Green Cathedral A huge thank you once again for our beautiful wedding ceremony. It went exactly as Tom and I had wanted and we had so many people come up to us and say it was the best (and shortest) ceremony they have witnessed. Also, thank you for preparing us for the day. I think we had more nerves than we realised and having you talk us through it all really helped. I've attached a few photos for you :) We look forward to running into you up at Boomerang. Lots of love Prue and Tom
Tracey and Corey March 13 2015 The Green Cathedral We both enjoyed the day but it went way too fast. All our pre-ceremony meetings were great. Emails and communication were fantastic as we were here and you there, it was the best and easiest way to keep up to date and in contact. Loved our rehearsal ...it was funny and a good way for you to meet Mum and Dad. Our ceremony was perfect. Thanks so much for everything. Tracey and Corey
Jacinta and Brian March 7 2015 Lansdowne We were very happy with you as our celebrant, we could not have done better! You are the right mix of warmth, sensitivity, humour, support and calmness. You presented everything well. We had a wonderful ceremony and it was so special to have our kids be a part of it. Friends and family were so happy, many of them in tears with joy!! We really liked the relaxed attitude you took right from our first meeting, and not pressuring us when we did not keep up to the timetable! We were sorry we were not able to spend a little time with you before you and Bill left - we did not plan for the photographer to abduct us for so long. I hope that from your perspective it was as easy to work with us as we found it to work with you.Best wishes Love Jacinta and Brian
Georgah and Steve February 27 2015 The Green Cathedral Pacific Palms Hi Lorraine, We just wanted to say thanks so much for being our marriage celebrant.

Sally and Matthew December 2014 Boat Beach Seal Rocks Matthew and I couldn't have been happier with our little wedding! It was everything we wanted it to be and we are very grateful to you for everything you did in gently leading us through the process of organisation and for being such a lovely presence on the day. I can't believe we were lucky enough to find you! So lovely to meet someone with such genuine warmth and a sense of humour. I only wish I lived closer and we had the opportunity to get to know each other better. I can honestly say I couldn't suggest a single thing to improve the service you gave us all the way through. As we were overseas leading up to the date and Matthew was in Melbourne before that I really appreciated the way you kept us on track with regular emails about what we needed to do. It felt a disorganised time but somehow I always knew you were in control as your communication was always prompt and clear and that made me calm. I really enjoyed our long chat on the phone so it felt like we were being married by a friend. You took all the stress out of the process by giving us choices for the ceremony, providing the table, chair, sound system etc. We both thought you did a wonderful job of conducting the ceremony and Matthew especially liked the way you said things to us during it that were off the microphone. We appreciated that you dressed so perfectly to compliment our beach setting and the White theme. Your jacket looks so good in the photos! It has been an absolute pleasure to have met you. Thank you again Lorraine. I wish you a wonderful year ahead.Sally & Matthew

Our meetings via Skype and in person were excellent, you seem to have an ability to understand people in a short space of time. Ceremony was perfect...organisation. sound, whole ceremony went without a hitch. Because you understood us so well the ceremony felt so special and emotional. You were a really calming influence especially as I am a very emotional person Megan and Ben
Marcee and Danny from USA October 2014 at Boat Beach Seal Rocks Lorraine everything was perfect, we could not have wished for a better ceremony.

Amy and Peter August 2013 The Gables Lorraine, you were readily available to us right from the go. Whether it be in person, by phone or by email, we never had to wait for replies to questions. All of the suggestions you made for our ceremony were well thought out with our individuality in mind, ensuring we had a beautiful ceremony that was totally us. You had the right balance of professionalism, humour and warmth to suit our needs. Your amazing organisational skills and attention to detail became very apparent on our big day. During the rehearsal we ironed out any kinks; not that there were many at that stage; so that on the day everything ran seamlessly. You also did a great job calming any slightly frayed nerves. We are not sure that "thank you" covers it! It meant so much to us that you were the one to marry us. You gave us the perfect ceremony and for that we are truly grateful. Amy and Peter
Keira and Andrew May 2013 Figtree Byron Bay Thank you for your brilliant and friendly delivery of our wedding ceremony. It was an outstanding, clearly constructed ceremony with even flow and direction. We really appreciated your approach and openness to create our perfect day, short, sweet and personal. Your organisation and communication made us feel at ease and that everything was under control. You showed flexibility, having two sites pre-organised and simple transfer between the two due to weather. You were sincere, with a genuine, caring approach. Written and personal presentation were immaculate.We both appreciated the effort put into the process very much Andy & Keira
