A Baby Naming filled with love

It's easy to love my job when I receive such glowing feedback... 

"We just wanted to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for all of the hard work you've done leading up to our son Leon's Naming Day yesterday, and for making the day itself such a warm, enjoyable and truly special occasion. 

From the very beginning, you put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. You listened carefully to our wishes, and honoured these beautifully in creating a warm, genuine and intimate ceremony. Your keen eye for detail and wonderful organisation are second to none - and as a teacher, I understand the value of such skills! 

You made us feel included, yet relaxed from the get-go, but also went out of your way to offer advice and suggestions. Most importantly, you tailor-made a memorable and highly personal ceremony that not only met our needs, but also exceeded our expectations. 

Your friendly, relaxed and professional manner put our family and friends at ease on the day and we received many positive appraisals of your performance! The ceremony was word-perfect and the focus always remained on our son and the love that surrounds him, which was of great importance to us. 

There's a saying I heard a little while back, which resonated with me profoundly, and every know and then when I meet someone new, it pops into my mind - and I must say that I did think of it yesterday when I met you: "People may not remember what you say or do, but they remember how you made them feel". 

Again, thank you for your contributions in making this milestone a memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I will not hesitate to recommend your service to our family and friends, and almost wish we could remarry so that you could oversee our marriage service too!"

- Stephanie and Daniel

Not even rain could dampen Clare and Arron's spirits when they got married at Dunbar House, Watson's Bay. The happy couple celebrated many years of love and friendship, whilst also making a commitment to share their future together. They were thrilled with the personalised ceremony created by their celebrant, Laura Craddock. "[Laura] I can't even properly articulate just how absolutely ecstatic Arron and I were with how the ceremony ran, and the integral part that you played on our special day. Thank you for helping us create a ceremony that was intimate, special and absolutely suited our personalities and tastes. We are beyond lucky to have stumbled across you on a vague google search and honestly feel like we were 'meant' to find you because you were exactly what we had been looking for in a celebrant. Not only did you help me through the ceremony through my nerves (and fetching me water!) but also beforehand when Arron and I were quite nervous...

Phoebe and Ryan get married at Taronga Zoo, Sydney Phoebe and Ryan were thrilled with every aspect of their Taronga Zoo wedding in Sydney, but what they loved most was their marriage ceremony performed by modern Sydney celebrant Laura Craddock. "Laura was very professional to work with, but, most importantly, so personable, relaxed, warm, and accommodating. So many of our guests asked us how we found Laura - in fact, we'd witnessed our friends be married by Laura last year, and knew we'd love to have her marry us - Laura really makes the ceremony personal. Our guests commented that they really enjoyed the ceremony - it was fun, and really personalised." Giraffes look on as Phoebe and Ryan say 'I Do' "Whilst Laura's happy to be guided by your wishes and vision for the day, she also has plenty of suggestions and options if you just don't know where to start with everything. Laura really captured our relationship and co...
