My testimonials
I believe every couple deserves the very best from their celebrant, without ever feeling obliged to provide a testimonial afterwards.
While I don’t actively seek reviews, I’m genuinely grateful to the couples who choose to share their experience.
Every testimonial on this page was freely given and reflects their honest thoughts about having me as their celebrant.
A brief selection of some of my testimonials.
Rachel & Jules
Chris is truly a wonderful celebrant and more than that, a lovely person. Chris was an obvious choice for us to be the person to pronounce us husband and wife. From the get go, Chris was easy and pleasant to deal with and on the day made us feel comfortable, delivered a beautiful ceremony and kept everything light hearted and under control when a bit of rain set in. The service delivered for us was exactly the style we were after and he made it feel very personal. We received so much positive feedback from our guests and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Chris.
Jessica & Rob
Chris officiated our wedding at Houghton's Winery and did an absolutely exceptional job! From the second we arrived, he was patient and took the time to explain to everyone the procedure for the ceremony.
We cannot thank Chris enough for the amazing ceremony he provided us with. He made it so much more fun and relaxed - very 'Jess and Rob'. We can 100% say that we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as we did without having Chris there.
Our family was especially amazed by Chris' professional yet relaxed manner, which truly made it the most perfect ceremony for us. Since our ceremony, we have already had a number of friends and family inquiring about Chris ' services and whether this was 'usual'. While neither my husband or I have been married or to many weddings before, we are certain that our experience with Chris was above norm and we cannot recommend him strongly enough! 10 out of 5 stars!
El & Dion
Chris was a pleasure to deal with from our initial consultation, to planning the details. He was an integral part in ensuring our ceremony went more perfect than we could ever imagine. He was very professional and made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. He's a celebrant with personality and a keen eye for detail, we had total confidence in him, which helped reduce our nerves, as much as possible. We got so many compliments on our ceremony and how fantastic Chris was. We could not have been happier that we selected him, highly recommend.
Louise & Shane
Chris was our celebrant for our wedding last Saturday and he made our day beautiful. From our first meeting we knew Chris was the guy for us. He had a very kind, gentle and caring nature about him. He created a lovely ceremony with a bit of humour that really suited us. For somebody who only met us a few times Chris really got the essence of who we were as a couple. I would recommend Chris to anybody for their special day . Chris was one of the best decisions We made when it came to choosing our wedding vendors. Thanks so much Chris we are so grateful we found you. We will remember our day always and you truly made it all the more wonderful.
Jess & Alley
Our 2 year old daughter had decided on Chris even before our meeting begun! As a shy little one, it was very rare for us to see her warm to anyone so fast but clearly she felt comfortable with him as soon as she met him. Chris is a warm, family man who really goes above and beyond to understand the type of wedding that suits you as couple and to make it a really personalised affair. We were a little concerned about the disruption of having 6 small children in our bridal party but Chris wasn't phased at all and on the day we just carried with the kids moving around us and we too felt more relaxed about it! It was a beautiful ceremony and we would definitely recommend Chris to anyone considering him as a celebrant for their big day. Thanks Chris, Alley + Jess
Bita
We had such a wonderful experience with Chris. My husband and I are from Iran, Our wedding day was small, just the two of us and our witnesses, as our families couldn’t be there, but Chris made it truly special. He thoughtfully arranged everything at his home, even playing beautiful Iranian music to make us feel more connected to our culture. He also helped us set up FaceTime so our families could be part of the moment.
Although the ceremony was meant to be short, he went above and beyond to make it feel meaningful and memorable. His kindness, patience, and positive attitude turned a simple day into something very special for us.
We are truly grateful and highly recommend him.

We were so lucky to have Chris as our celebrant! He made us feel comfortable from the start, and put so much effort into getting to know us as a couple to tailor the ceremony accordingly. Chris is so genuine, and our guests commented on how heartfelt and personal his part of the ceremony was. He took charge in a calm and professional way to make sure everything ran smoothly, so we could relax. Thank you for making our wedding day so special Chris! We would recommend you to anyone!

Creating a special ceremony for us with a personal touch and made us feel comfortable. Thankyou for your time and for helping to make our day special.
David
Chris, guided my wife and I through the wedding process with so much professionalism, kindness and care. He wrote a beautiful ceremony for us and we couldn't have been more happy with his services. We particularly appreciated Chris's flexibility and understanding as we navigated a date reschedule due to COVID. Would highly recommend him as a celebrant.
Lizelle
Chris was the most wonderful celebrant! My partner is not a very chatty or open guy but Chris managed to create a ceremony that described us both perfectly! He was always well spoken (even with my crazy surname), professional and everybody commented about how great it was to hear a genuine and meaningful ceremony and vows. Can't recommend Chris highly enough! Thanks for making us your first wedding of the new decade :)
Marissa
Chris made the effort to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. He put together a unique and personal ceremony that we enjoyed immensely. There were laughs and awws- exactly how a wedding should be. Everything went smoothly with Chris as our celebrant. The day was so beautiful and magical I I I could do the whole thing again. Thank you Chris.

Chris is such an incredible celebrant and created the most amazing ceremony for us! Everything was seamless, from the meetings before the wedding and the preparation, through to the ceremony which was perfect (thank you so much for your quick thinking to solve my mishaps). Chris exceeded our expectations and nailed our brief (we are extremely fussy). Highly recommended!

Victoria
We were so lucky to have Chris as our celebrant. He was a recommendation from a friend and we're so glad he was able to marry us.
He was patient when it came to getting everything prepared for the ceremony, gave ideas for vows and helped with everything he could for our big day.
Our day was perfect and the ceremony was executed perfectly from Chris. It felt like he'd been our friend for years.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris!
