Dear Annette   Liao and I would like to thank you so much for being our celebrant. The ceremony hit the right tone, not too over serious, but still meaningful.  It received many complimentary  comments from guests.  

   Clive & Liao   


Annette was such a joy to have as our celebrant. My husband and I eloped to Hawaii in March, and decided to renew our vows back in NZ, so we could celebrate with family and friends. The ceremony was fun and light ( just what we wanted) and she became part of the family by the end of the day. she is a lovely person, and really gets to know you, and what you want for your special day, We cannot recommend Annette enough.

We had the quiet, private and personal wedding that we wanted.  My wife & I decided on a small wedding to finally legally tie the knot.  We contacted Annette, who took great care in listening, to what we actually wanted to do on our special day, and had great ideas to go with it.  Annette had a a beautiful place in mind, that we chose, and was very accommodating to our wishes and ways of doing things.  As we got married within a week of deciding to get married, – we would like to say that Annette never showed there was no need to rush or stress.

We would like to thank Annette for the easy going surprise wedding that we dropped onto our friends and family.  She made it casual but professional, and the crowd laughed with her, which is what we exactly we wanted.  She helped us work through the technical side of marriage, and gave great advice when asked.  We would always recommend Annette !

Surprise wedding at a house warming

Annette was simply wonderful – she understood exactly the tone we wanted for our ceremony and she got it just perfect.  We wanted our wedding to be relaxed, yet symbolistic of the deep love we share, these elements were present. It was exactly as we envisaged and family and friends that attended commented on how special the ceremony was. Beautiful, respectful with a touch of humour from start to finish it was great.  Prior to the wedding day, Annette advised us of what we needed to do, went through options with us, sent in advance the outline of the ceremony and was happy to make changes as requested. A great communicator, such a sincere and compassionate person, Annette is exactly the right person for her chosen role.  It gives us enormous pleasure to write this testimony for Annette as she perfected our wishes for a beautiful wedding.
