TESTIMONIALS

I am truly passionate about creating unforgettable ceremonies for my couples.  I have been fortunate enough to work with incredible couples who have kindly shared their experiences with me:

“Amanda, I don’t even know where to begin. We both knew from the very beginning it had to be you who married us. We are blown away with how perfect our ceremony was. You captured the essence of who we are as a couple so perfectly.

You were always available to us when we needed and made the lead up to our day so simple and effortless which when planning a wedding doesn’t go unnoticed. Your many years of working in the industry is very evident in your work & professionalism.

We just think the world of you & we were so happy for you to stand by us when we said our i do’s.”

“Hi Amanda, I hope all is well on your end 🙂 I can’t believe it’s been 5 months since the big day. Here are some pics of the day. We finally got the wedding footage back and the ceremony is even more beautiful than I remembered. I can’t thank you enough for saying yes to being our celebrant and your beautiful words at the ceremony. Your words are truly magical and captured us as individuals and as a couple. You really do have a gift 🙂 Thank you”

Amanda was the most perfect celebrant we could have dreamt of! She was so fun and reassuring and confident which translated so beautifully into the ceremony she created for us. Amanda was able to put together our story in such a magical light and we could not have imagined anything better. You blew us away Amanda. Thank you so so much!

Karen & Johnny

When my fiancé and I started looking for a celebrant for our mini wedding I found Amanda knapton online. We met with Amanda and I knew instantly we chose the right celebrant. Not only was the ceremony absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted, from the first meeting to the wedding day Amanda made us feel at home and very comfortable and we shared lots of laughs and had a lot of fun together. Amanda made the whole process super easy and really enjoyable. We highly recommend Amanda and will definitely be referring friends and family to her in the future. Thank you again for making our special day happen. If it wasn’t for you and the girls you work with it would not have been as perfect as it was. Thank you so much xo

Sheridan & Scott

“We wanted to say thank you so much for Saturday, and for your efforts in the lead up to the big day. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with, and the ceremony you prepared was just beautiful. So many of our guests complimented us on the ceremony wording, and many said it made them shed a tear it was so lovely and heartfelt.  Your help with the little things such as the signing pen, audio set up as well as your reassurance and guidance on the day was also truly appreciated. We will certainly be recommending your services, as I am sure many of our guests will be also…”

Hi Amanda,

We both would like to thank you for putting together such a meaningful and beautiful ceremony for us.  We were so impressed with the delivery of the ceremony, you have such a kind and friendly nature, and that made everyone feel comfortable.  From the first time we met with you and through out yesterday you always went above and beyond for us.

Once again. Thank you

With love, Annalise & Nathan X 

“Hi Amanda, …..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did to make our day what it was. Your ceremony was just as I imagined and more. It was heartfelt and fun and just perfect. You really were the perfect celebrant for us…..I had a lot of people comment on how lovely and personal the ceremony was, so it wasn’t just my biased opinion,

Thank you for everything,
Kind regards

Di & James”

Thanks again for everything, Amanda! Thank you for perfectly capturing our relationship in the ceremony you so wonderfully prepared! I’m still amazed at how you can do this from just one meeting – you’re very talented!

I believe we already have one of our friends keen to book you for their ceremony! I must admit, that was a decision they made from seeing you in action on Saturday, though we will recommend you to everyone we know getting married into the future.

We couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks for your huge help in making the day as perfect as it was!

John & Katie Hamilton 

Hi Amanda – thank you so much for such a lovely ceremony yesterday! You had such a great combination of professionalism and fun, and we cannot imagine a better ceremony or celebration of our relationship. Thank you for your thoughtful words and light style. It was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely recommend eloping with you and Kelly to all of my friends! What a great way to get married while remaining sane! Thanks again! X

“We had such an amazing time at our wedding and want to thank you for making the ceremony so relaxed and personal. So many of our guests commented on your natural style and some said it was the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever witnessed! So thank you for taking the time to tailor the ceremony to our personalities and for helping us enjoy the process so effortlessly.”

Claire & Nari

“Amanda, I truly want to thank you for helping Damien and I become Husband and Wife (it’s official now!). You would have loved to have heard the compliments we received for our ceremony. We had friends and family saying how beautiful it was, how it was very much ‘us’, how it was brought back to the true meaning of marriage amongst other lovely compliments…..   We have you to thank for, for facilitating such a ceremony for us that really captured what is important to Damien and I. Your brilliant idea of having a surprise waiting for the children at the end of the aisle was such a winner! And they were pretty awesome too, very proud of them.

Thank you again for all that you have done, Amanda! The industry is truly lucky to have you!”

Leigh & Damien

“Hi Amanda,

We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding ceremony so perfect.  The words that you wrote and spoke for us were exactly what we wanted to say, all our family and friends commented on what an awesome job you did and how great you handled the weather and the challenges of moving things around at the last minute and how perfectly you reflected us and our relationship.

Thanks again, Kylie & Steve.”

Hi Amanda, I wanted to say thank you very much for the part you played in Emily and Joemel’s wedding on September 14.  They were very happy with everything about their day but in particular the ceremony that you put together for them.  We received a lot of comments from guests about how lovely it was and how special it was to include the whole family.  I  personally felt that the ceremony was the highlight of the day, as it should be, and the care and attention to detail you
gave it was wonderful.  It was a lovely, lovely day and we are grateful for your part in creating very special memories.

Regards…………Phillipa (Mother of the Bride)

Hi Amanda,  Wow! we had the most fantastic evening. The ceremony was absolutely perfect – exactly what we wanted. You were brilliant Amanda. You just went with what our little scallywag Darcy was doing and it set the rest of the evening up to be filled with fun, love (of course) and lots of dancing . . . . . . Thanks so much for your expertise and sense of humour that you brought to the occasion. I loved that it wasn’t too serious but was still meaningful and significant . . . . . . Thanks again – the gods or my beautiful grandma were smiling on me when I found you online and it all worked out as perfectly as it did.   All the very best,
Sarah & Alex x

“Hi Amanda, Carmine and I want to thank you for doing such and amazing job. You created the most perfect ceremony. We had the best day/night of our lives. We were upset we didn’t get a chance to personally thank you on the day as we were so busy with photos after the ceremony. We will forever be grateful for having such an amazing celebrant :)”

We could not have been happier with Amanda as our celebrant. From the first moment we were struck by how warm and approachable she was. Amanda made our day so much easier and was the perfect person to play such a special role in our lives.

Amara & Matt

Thank you so much for all this, and more importantly, thank you for our day!  It was a lighthearted, relaxed, fun family affair.   Exactly what we wanted!  We loved working with you, your sunny personality and how you made sure we had all things covered!  Now we know why they say that the celebrant is the most important part of the ceremony.  Without you, the whole thing would have had a different vibe!  Much love, thank you for putting up with us!

Adam and Tamara

Thank you, Amanda, for making our day so special! You made our ceremony touching, emotional, put into words exactly what we think about love. You created a very relaxed atmosphere and made us relax! We will never forget it! Be happy!

Danielle & Matt eloped and then shared their happy news with their family and friends at their engagement party. “……….We had perfect weather again and a great night. Some friends and family were surprised but everyone was very happy. They all watch the video of our ceremony which the filming turned out very well, and everyone thought the ceremony was beautiful ……..Thank you again for making our surprise wedding just exactly how we wanted it. My parents commented you were the best celebrant they have ever met……”

Danielle & Matt

Thanks again for such a beautiful ceremony, the guests couldn’t believe what a fantastic job you did on the day and were quoting and still quote the beautiful vows that you wrote for us. The day wouldn’t have been as special without all your help writing and talking us through the ceremony, it truly made the whole day special.

Sincerely Jacob & Tegan

Hi Amanda,

Just a quick mail to say thanks so much for organising and planning such a nice ceremony. You took our very loose and badly thought out ideas and turned them into something really special. We both really enjoyed the ceremony, it was simple but meaningful and was very special.  Thankyou for taking care of everything and making what I feared was going to be a stressful experience really good fun and a great start to a fantastic day.

All the very best and thanks again!

Richard & Marie-Claire

Hi Amanda, Thank you for officiating the ceremony. We had a fantastic day with our families, and the wedding ceremony was exactly what we wanted. You put into words our relationship, family & feelings, it was what we wanted to say (just didn’t know how to). It was such a wonderful day for us with lots of fun & laughter, we can’t thank you enough for making it special to us. Thank you again, Take care,
Penny

Thanks Amanda, we really appreciate all you did to make our day special. We had a blast, I thought it was just going to be making our family official however I found it extremely emotional and fulfilling. So thank you.

Erin & Jono

“We instantly felt very relaxed with Amanda and found her very personable. She genuinely cared about our relationship and wanted to get a feel on what type of couple we were. She put a lot of time writing our ceremony and tailored it to what we wanted. She made the day very special for us and we couldn’t of asked for a better celebrant. Initially we didn’t see the celebrant as a major part of the wedding when starting to arrange our wedding but Amanda really showed us that it was. Thank you Amanda for making our wedding so special.”

Amy & Sam
