Colette was extremely professional and absolutely brilliant at getting the tone of the ceremony just right, we cannot recommend her highly enough to officiate at your ceremony.

Where do we even start…. Colette put as at ease from the moment we booked, answered our varied questions patiently and even advised us on the process of booking our statutory ceremony to get the legal bit out of the way in readiness for our bespoke celebrant led ceremony…

We knew after receiving the draft ceremony script which moved us to tears, that the ceremony would be memorable to say the least - however nothing prepared us for the actual day. Not only did Colette deliver a beautifully crafted ceremony featuring our family, friends and even a flying live owl as a ring bearer but she captured our love story and the essence of both of us flawlessly.

Every single one of our guests absolutely loved the entire thing and we had so many lovely comments.

Colette we cannot ever thank you enough for the most perfect ceremony. We couldn’t have thought of a better way to kick off our wedding celebrations and we’ll never forget the incredible roller coaster of laughter, tears and joy that made up our ceremony.

Quite honestly we cannot recommend Colette more highly, if you’re looking for a celebrant led ceremony or you’re even remotely intrigued - she’ll guide, advise and support you along the way as she did for us.

With love and thanks,
The new Mr & Mr Bryant-Wilkinson x

We had the absolute pleasure of having Colette as our celebrant for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! From the very first video prep calls to our in-person meeting over coffee, Colette made us feel comfortable and valued.

She took the time to truly get to know us, asking thoughtful questions that helped her understand our story and what we wanted for our ceremony. Her warmth and genuine interest made the whole planning process enjoyable and stress-free.

On our wedding day, Colette delivered a ceremony that was nothing short of magical. It perfectly captured our personalities and the essence of our relationship. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was.

Colette's passion for her work shines through in every detail, and we are so grateful for her dedication and kindness. If you're looking for a celebrant who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend Colette!

Colette created a personalised experience for us and was with us every step of the process. She advised and helped with the vows and created a beautiful hand-fasting ceremony with our 5 children to blend and unite us all. Would highly recommend her!

We are delighted to have had Colette Ashby as our wedding celebrant recently (September 2024). We chose Colette after an online meeting with her during which we immediately felt at ease. From the outset we found her to be very genuine, warm and responsive to our needs and wishes. Colette is both professional and personal in her approach and she offered just the right amount of support and guidance via e-mail and a very helpful in-person meeting. She took immense care with every aspect of the process involved. This included getting to know us and our unique story, helping us to plan the kind of heartfelt and fun ceremony that would be right for us and drafting a marvellous bespoke ceremony script. She also guided us with writing our own wedding vows. On the day itself she was brilliant and the ceremony brought a wonderful mix of laughter and tears - we couldn't have wished for more! We warmly recommend Colette to engaged couples who are looking for a special, unique and truly memorable ceremony tailored with care.

We met Colette at a wedding fair and instantly clicked with her. She met with us in person and online before the wedding to get to know us both individually and as a couple. As well as this she checked both of our vows and gave guidance on them. Colette wrote the most beautiful script which made several of our guests teary-eyed and we had lots of compliments about how beautiful the service was. Thank you again for making our day so memorable!

Colette was incredible. She took her time in getting to know us and wrote the most beautiful script. She made the day just that bit better. I'm so pleased we went with her.

Huge thank you from both of us for making our ceremony so so perfect! From the moment we met you months ago to the moment you left us on Friday, we couldn’t have asked for more!

I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house on Friday and your whole speech and setup was so memorable! So many people have commented on it being the best ceremony they have been to and how personal it was.

Sorry it was so hectic after the ceremony we didn’t get chance to really speak after and tell you how special you made it for us. Simply the best.

Thank you from the bottom of our very emotional hearts!

Lots of love

Myself and my wife were married at the end of August 2023. We originally were planning on simply having a registrar marry us but eventually decided to go for a celebrant. Colette was fantastic. Prior to the event we had multiple calls and an in person meeting to go over all information regarding the day and ceremony (she even went through events for after the ceremony which was above and beyond what she was being asked to do.) both myself and my partner knew we had made the correct decision prior to the day itself. Colette also went to the venue prior to the day of our ceremony date, again giving us peace of mind that she was on top of everything and ensuring everything would go well. On the day she was very punctual, helped myself and the best men walk through the day (I know she did the same with the bride and bridesmaids but obviously I wasn’t there at that point). The ceremony went without a hitch and was absolutely lovely. It was everything we asked for and more. We had multiple guests inform us of how lovely it was and several people say they would want the same at their wedding). Thank you Colette for a very special day. You were fantastic.

Colette made our ceremony so personal and went above and beyond just officiating our wedding. She got to know key people and mingled with our guests. Everyone loved the ceremony, so much praise for Colette and I've also heard that she took charge to make it all happen on time. Colette had some really fun ideas for the service and was easygoing with any changes we wanted to make. We will remember it forever!! Thank you!

We are so incredibly happy to have chosen Colette to be our celebrant for our big day in July this year. She has such a warm and welcoming manner and made the whole process so easy (which we are especially grateful for as we were planning our wedding from the other side of the world!) The ceremony was absolutely perfect and was expertly tailored by Colette so that it reflected us and our journey. Everyone raved about the ceremony after and we are so grateful that Colette was part of our big day - thank you!

After meeting with Colette for the first time it didn't take long for us to realise we had found the perfect celebrant for our wedding. We kept in contact during the lead up to the wedding and were even offered the option for a wedding rehearsal which was fantastic.

Colette took the time to allow us to explain our story and the way she brought it to life and delivered it during the ceremony was truly remarkable. I can't think of anyone who loves their job more than Colette and her passion, understanding and confidence set the tone for the perfect day.

All of our guests commented on what an amazing ceremony it was and the way it was so tailored to our personal love story.

Colette gave us something very unique and memorable for our special day.

Colette was the celebrant at my wedding at Northbrook Park and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the ceremony so special and personalised. She made all the guests laugh and even cry a little.

Thank you so much for an amazing wedding ceremony, everyone commented on what a different and personal ceremony it was, you certainly made our day. We will without a doubt be recommending you to anyone we know getting married. We are over the moon with our certificate and wedding pack. Thank you for making us feel at ease and special. 

We recently had the wedding of our dreams that was officiated by Colette and we couldn’t recommend her services enough. Colette told our story perfectly, which made our ceremony incredibly personal and special. Colette responded to any queries we had so quickly, and was always happy to help. She listened to everything we wanted and got it perfectly. She went above and beyond to help reassure us on the day, even helping my brother with his bow tie before the ceremony! A really wonderful experience, that we will remember forever. Thank you Colette x

Colette was fantastic from our initial enquiry through to our big day. She was so enthusiastic and had some wonderful ideas for our ceremony. Colette was extremely flexible in incorporating all our wishes and was pivotal to the success of our special day. Thoroughly recommended!

Colette was absolutely amazing, totally surpassing our expectations. She made our wedding! We loved the content, structure and life she gave to us our ceremony. It was SO US! Our guests thought that we knew her before, it was that brilliant. The support she gave with our vows was also incredible. Colette has such a talent and we feel so blessed to have had her as our celebrant. We'll be calling her to help us with our 5 year vows. We highly highly recommend Colette to anyone who needs celebrant services. She is exceptional!

Colette was so helpful in what was a very delicate situation for us. Not only were we having a wedding vow renewal we were also celebrating a family reunion after 40 years and it was the first time both sets of family and friends were at a family "do". Colette was excellent, she not only took direction from us but was able to guide us on getting the best service we could have. She encompassed everything, love, heartache, loss, humour and a great respect for both occasions. Everyone loved the emotional service and there were tears and laughter from almost everyone. When we need a celebrant again there is only one we will be requesting, we just have to hope she is available. This award winning celebrant deserves every accolade that her profession has.

Thank you Colette from Kevin and Mandy & re-united families

Colette officiated at our wedding recently and I would have no hesitation recommending her. From the start, Colette listened to our wishes and built a wonderful bespoke ceremony which made our day very special. Colette’s warm personality shone through on the day and we couldn’t have wished for more. Colette is easy to do business with and I would recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you Colette!

Colette saved our day! We had to find a celebrant to replace ours within 24 hours of our wedding. She listened to what we wanted, and picked up all the details quickly. We then had to run inside half way through the ceremony because the heavens opened, and Colette managed the situation well while adding her personal touch to the ceremony. The guests also thought she was great. Lizzie and Dean xx

Our ceremony was a really special part of our day. Colette got to know all the little details about our lives, when and how we met, and what’s important to us in our lives together. She wrote our story and it made us laugh and cry with all the personal touches. On the day the time just flew by!

Our guests all commented on how lovely the service was, and it just couldn’t have been more perfect.

A year on from our wedding and having Colette as our celebrant was still one of our highlights.

We met Colette about a week before our wedding after a change of heart and wanting a personal ceremony after waiting so long from Covid.

We spoke to several celebrants but it was only Colette who made us feel like she was genuinely excited for us. Colette was a dream to work with, she turned up the day before to meet us and our parents and fitted right in. On the day Colette showed up early from genuine excitement and it was so nice to see her! Despite only knowing each other for several days before the wedding we felt completely at ease and like we had known her forever.

So many of our guests on the day complimented us on how wonderful the ceremony was and this was down to Colette.

Thank you Colette from the bottom of our hearts - you were and are amazing!

What a magical day! Colette was a joy to work with in every way. She was calming, patient, inspiring, helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. In light of recent circumstances, I can tell you from experience that you must have Colette for your wedding celebrant! Colette will give you a truly magical ceremony to cherish all your married lives together. A very big THANK YOU from the happy couple – Ashley and Ross xxx

We just wanted to say a massive Thank You for our renewal of vows ceremony yesterday. We were both so impressed by your professionalism, flexibility (it would have helped if Debs hadn’t sprained her ankle the day before!) and the wording of our ceremony was awesome (tear-jerking)! All in all, a fantastic day.

We asked Colette to be our celebrant for our wedding at very short notice due to last minute complications with our arrangements and Colette saved the ceremony and made our wedding so special! Colette is a superb celebrant, providing a high quality and personalised service from start to finish. She really spent time getting to know us, resulting in a celebration that was memorable and full of personal touches. We are so grateful to Colette for helping make our special day so perfect.

Colette, thank you very much for your guidance, for the great script and for delivering our ceremony to the highest standards. Marina and I thoroughly enjoyed it and our guests all gave great feedback. We felt privileged to have you orchestrate our special day. Thank you!

Your words made our guests feel part of a unique and never-seen-before intimate celebration. Much better than the usual 'fall asleep' ceremony! You did a stunning job for us and we and our guests were blown away with how personal it was. Thank you.
