Testimonials

Dear John, We can’t thank you enough for creating the wedding of our dreams.  You did the most amazing job.  We could never have imagined anyone could create such a fun and perfect ceremony for us. As you promised, it truly was the best wedding ever. Thank you! Love, Ash and Daniel

Dear John, With our wonderful Aloys history, it means so much to me that you are to be the celebrant at our wedding. Catherine and I so appreciate the wonderful support you  have given us. Thank you John! Much Love, Cat and Luke

Dear John, We would like to thank you for the wonderful way in which you conducted the marriage ceremony of Melanie and James last Friday. We remembered your skills and sensibilities at Alo’s but you exceeded our highest expectations. It must be hard to tread the fine line between emphasising the solemnity of the occasion and yet not making it too ”heavy” especially if one of the partners (and family) have no particular religious affiliations or background.  However you achieved this balance perfectly and James and Mel were delighted. Melanie “LOVES” you. Wow! Ten out of ten, John! We thank you also for taking the time to get to know more about the young couple and their backgrounds. Life  is certainly a rich tapestry of people and events and you are a golden thread in our tapestry.  Well, three Madden children yet to marry…. Perhaps we shall meet again, John! With fond regards, Chris and Julie

Hi John, We didn’t get a chance to see you after the ceremony on Saturday because everything was happening so fast! I wanted to let you know that we LOVED the ceremony you created for us! It was THE best ever. We will cherish those memories forever. We would love to see you to thank you when things have settled down a bit, and potentially could go over some photos together too. All the best to you and Lyn. Seb and Courtney

Dear John, This is the least Carla and I could do to say thank you, for what you gave us on our special day.  Your hospitality from our initial meeting was something special and made the whole lead up to the day a little more bearable, and a lot less stressful.  On the day of our wedding your delivery of our ceremony will be something that we will never forget.  Not only Carla and I were grateful but we had guests commenting that it was the best ceremony they had attended, and that you not only were “absolutely fantastic” but had an uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt. You made our day that bit more special and we couldn’t speak any higher of your commitment and friendly nature towards our sometimes difficult requests. Once again, thank you John for what you gave to us, as we will never forget that beautiful half hour or so that you were king of. All the best and Happy Easter. Love, Bo and Carla XXX OOO

Dear John, We would like to take the chance to say a huge Thank You. Not only for your time during our marriage preparation, but the personal touch and detail that you gave to us. The personal time we had with you has meant a lot to both of us. That we can continue and take with us into the next step in our relationship. Many thanks, Neil and Stacy (the Liverpool couple) P.S. I hope you continue with your great job.XX

Dear John, Thank you for providing John and I with such a beautiful, meaningful and aspirational ceremony. Whilst so much of the night is a joyous blur to me, many of our guests have made a point of discussing how much your words meant to them. Family members rejoiced at the special significance you gave to my parents, and John really appreciated how you acknowledged his. It was such a beautiful service – I was so moved – I couldn’t stop shaking, but more than a week on and I have not even thought about touching the ground. You will be forever in our hearts, please accept my most sincere thanks. Kirstin

Dear John, Thank you for your uplifting support, help, guidance and love you put towards our wedding day. Everyone commented on the spiritfulness and love that they felt during the ceremony.

Dear John, Words will never express the undying gratitude we have for your assistance in the dark days following Kieren’s untimely death. In his life you were a consistent caring lifeline. In his death you held onto that special relationship. Your friendship to Kieren and to me is greatly cherished and I am most grateful that you have been able to help Patti in her grief as well. With love, John
