Martess was incredibly organised (like there are no words to describe how prepared she was haha), professional and so much fun. She is such a lovely person who clearly has a true passion for love and what she does.
The stress of that part of our wedding was completely taken away thanks to her, even appointments before hand she was flexible and accommodating. So many people commented on how sweet and funny she was, and spoke very well so everyone could hear and understand, even through hail. We would also like to greatly thank Alan (Martess’s husband) for the many and beautiful photos he took at our ceremony. It was wonderful to have so many photos the day after our wedding, while waiting on professional photos to enjoy. 110% recommend 😊 Laura & Justin Hi, Martess Thank you for being our celebrant. Tell your husband thank you so much for the photos, it is wonderful to have some back so soon before any others and we love them. You were absolutely wonderful. So organised which really helped us. A very good speaker, could still clearly understand you when had to speed things up because of the weather. Very sweet, funny and just the right amount of bossy haha. We wish we had paid you to stay around afterwards, could have done with your help during family photos. Getting people to come when needed and everything was hell so ran very late, you should make that a service haha. We were extremely let down by our families and very upset about the wedding, but our suppliers where one thing we don’t regret, you where all wonderful. Thanks Justin and Laura xx …oOo… Hi Martess, Thank you so much for everything yesterday! So many people came up to me later and said how they really enjoyed the ceremony and how they really liked you and you did such a great job! I literally wouldn’t change a thing! You made me feel very cool, calm and collected once I finally made it down the isle which helped so much especially coming from me who gets bad social anxiety. So Thank you both so very much! Xxx Adele & Jack …oOo… Thank you so much for doing our wedding ceremony, we had such a great day & everything went so smoothly, also the photos Alan took are great. Matt & I were happy how you conducted the ceremony, we both felt very relaxed & it suited us. Thank you for your professionalism & making getting married stress free on the day. Kind Regards Carly & Matt …oOo… Hello Martess, Thanks again for all of your assistance with our ceremony as our celebrant. You made the whole process so easy and informative. We loved that you explained everything to us throughout the whole process so we knew exactly what we needed to do. Our whole family absolutely loved the feeling of the ceremony as they all said it felt so intimate and comfortable. Thanks again for everything, you were such a huge help on our beautiful day! Kasey and Tim …oOo… Hi Martess, Thank you for your beautiful words, we have been on such high since the wedding. It was the most amazing day (even the weather was just perfect) and Dave and I didn't want it to end. We all had such a fun time, full of lots of emotion and laughter. In fact many of our guests said that they have never cried so many happy tears as they did on Saturday. You should have heard the kids do their speeches in the afternoon.....gosh there were even more tears flowing. They spoke so beautifully about our relationship and family. They really did us both so proud the whole day. We really want to thank you for setting the scene for a relaxed and fun day. From the moment we met and discussed our wedding, Dave and I knew that you understood the type of wedding we were wanting...relaxed, fun and personal. I have to say the support that you gave us along the way, as well as the opportunity for us to go through the motions at the dress rehearsal with you, meant that I had no concerns at all about the ceremony. I had confidence that no matter what, you would be able to make sure that it flowed beautifully and that everybody felt a part of the day. This is a huge thing for any bride, so a big thank you for that. And honestly it was everything and more than we expected. We have had many guests comment on how lovely you were throughout the morning and how many beautiful moments there were, from when Zac walked me down the aisle, to our personal vows and the moment when you brought our family together as part of the ceremony. We also would like to thank Alan for the beautiful photos. Gosh we had a fun time having them done and that really showed in all the photos. Taking photos with six teenagers could have been a disaster but we all felt so comfortable and relaxed that it was so easy and natural. Catching the kids having fun on the equipment is one of my favourite photos as it really showed how much they were enjoying the day. There are also photos that caught raw emotion of the ceremony such as my dad and Zac shaking hands and both full of emotion, I will be forever grateful for Alan catching that moment as it is a moment that will stay close to my heart always. My favourite is us all sitting together on the equipment with that beautiful heritage bridge in the background...that will definitely be one that will be displayed proudly on a wall in our home. Thanks to Alan for being so flexible with taking the photos, he happily went along with any ideas that we had which was just fantastic. Look forward to catching up with you soon, Barb & Dave ...oOo... Thank you Martess, Shayne and I were so happy to have you as our celebrant on our special day. You were amazing, so organised, professional, caring and it was such a fun ceremony! Love Yvette & Shayne …oOo… Thank you Martess for being so wonderful. You were helpful & uplifting and guided us well. On the day our toddler was an enormous & loud distraction and yet you remained composed & humorous, making the day still enjoyable for the rest of us who shed a normal amount of tears. Many thanks from Mr & Mrs Robinson xxxxx ...oOo... To Martess, My testimonial to you … You are an amazing wedding celebrant that gives every Photographer the space to do, what he/she is best at.

Hi Martess, Matt and I would like to thank you again for being an amazing celebrant at our wedding on the weekend! We loved how well you worked with the both of us to create the fun and laid back ceremony we were after. You made the whole process so easy from the start; from the personal way you helped create our vows to have a more personal touch, through to keeping us both calm on the day. I really appreciate adding the special touch of speaking the ‘welcome’ in Maltese for my family. Matt said that my Nanna had a massive smile at this. A massive thank you also, to Alan for the beautiful photos he took! We absolutely love them! I would also like to add how much of a lifesaver you were for us!! I was in panic mode when we found, out the day before, our photographer needed to pull out due to sickness! Having you help us out so much by organising a photographer friend of yours to capture our ceremony, after and start of our reception took so much stress off our shoulders. I will be recommending you highly to anyone I know who gets married in the future! Thank you again, Renee and Matt xx …oOo… Hi Martess, Thank you so much for yesterday!
