Testimonials
Hi Jewel,

Brendan and I just wanted to give our sincere thank you for the key role you played in our wedding ceremony.

Your open mindedness regarding our ‘non-traditional’ wedding and encouragement to truly personalise our readings and vows allowed us to have a ceremony that was based on our belief in each other and was an honest, deeply personal and spiritual ceremony full of emotion, tears of joy and laughter. It was just perfect.

Your calm nature and kind words at our meeting, during the rehearsal and on our special day made it such a peaceful, enjoyable experience. We thank you so much.

And to those couples who may be reading this as a testimonial, Jewel’s spirit, energy and enthusiasm will undoubtedly enrich your special day.

Thanks again

Mr and Mrs Diplock - 22nd November 2011

Hello Jewel,

We were really blessed to have you as our celebrant, and loved that you facilitated such a personal and beautiful ceremony for our sacred union. We truly felt the joy and loving atmosphere surrounding us.

It was a really beautiful day for us. Everything flowed so naturally and with your assistance everything was 'perfect'.

Warmest love and blessing to you and Jon

Jandamarra, Amy and Winton - 2nd May 2011,

Where to begin ... Jewel ... we had the most perfect day & a large part of that was you!

From our first meeting with you to saying goodbye we both felt that you were genuine & sincere & that (as you know) is so important. There were the little things that made such a difference - like offering us your different wardrobe selections based on what we wanted, the calming spray you offered before we walked in, and the subtle slip of the tissues when we both needed them!

The ceremony you wrote was beautiful and we truly appreciated all your thoughts & ideas. We also appreciated the fact that you allowed us to make changes & give our thoughts on the ceremony. You have such a calming, gentle nature & it made our meetings with you thoroughly enjoyable. Jewel thank you so very much for making our day as special as it was!!

With our warmest wishes & thanks,

Jen & Rich - 24th January 2011.

Hi Jewel,

We couldn’t fault anything the whole day of our wedding it was beyond each of our expectations! The best day of our lives. Thank you so much for your support and guidance throughout the lead up and during the ceremony.

Our guests commented how lovely the ceremony was and how they felt like it was really relevant to us and our lives. So thank you.

Kind regards,

Elicia and Nick - 4th October 2010.

Hi Jewel,

We can't thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you put together for us. We had the most wonderful day and many of our family and friends said it was the most emotional and beautiful wedding they have been to.

The ceremony was exactly what we had in mind and we will always remember it. We are so glad we found you to be our celebrant as we feel you really made an effort to individualise our ceremony and we would gladly recommend you to others.

With all our thanks and kind wishes,

Tracey and Brett - 28th September 2010.

Our feedback is that we thank you heaps in shaping our special day and we were extremely happy with your service and how you could adjust and accommodate our needs, as two very different cultures came together.

The whole ceremony truly reflected our bond, certainly with the help from you and it made a very memorable and special experience for both of us. One thing which was really important to us was that it is natural-as we said to you sometimes 'no fluff', by which we meant natural words and promises.

Thanking you from our heart, Sonja and Ved - 8th May 2010.

Our Ceremony was unique, raw in emotion, so personal and more meaningful than we could ever have imagined. Our guests have continually commented on how delightful the ceremony was and more intimate than ever witnessed before.

We feel absolutely honoured to have had you attend to our ceremony. You are such a calming person and had a special touch at keeping both of us under control and focusing on what was really important. We provided you with two people wanting to spend the rest of their lives together and you created just the most magical way of expressing this and presenting it to each other whilst sharing this with our loved ones.

You took the time to learn about us, understand us and nurture us through this extremely testing adventure and words may never be able to show our gratitude for the influence you've had on the beginning of our marriage.

Thank you Jewel from the bottom of our hearts.

xx Natalie and Ben King - 16th October 2009.

Dear Jewel,

Thank you for making Elleeah's day one of the most special days of our lives.

It was such a perfect day. You created a very emotional and beautiful ceremony, which touched the hearts of those present and I am sure will be etched in their minds for ever.

The warmth you exuded made this even more special and was evident upon our first meeting. We will definitely keep you in mind for any future celebrations.

Best wishes,

Love from Neil, Jayce, Elleeah and Robyn - 28th June 2009.

Hello beautiful one!

I do believe you will know exactly in your heart how it was for us to be guided by you towards and in our divine union ceremony.

You and your beautiful ideas, your grace, love, patience and presence have made it possible for us to enjoy a day of connecting to the deepest level of our commitment to each other, amongst those we love most.

Thank you for your flexibility in our building of our ceremony, it worked out beautifully. You were in control and you were in the flow … It was such an amazing day for all of us … thank you again.

You are an angel … Love,

Sika’al & Opheana - 21st February 2009.

Dear Jewel,

We are just writing to thank-you for being part of our wedding on the 17th October. You played such an integral part in how the ceremony was shaped and your calming nature was exactly what we needed to get us through the day.

From the use of the gong to commence the ceremony through the elements and stone ceremonies everyone has reflected on what a beautiful ceremony we had, that was so very Jen & Joel. Our friends and family have all commented that the ceremony was so unique and it moved them all so deeply. We are so happy that everything went so smoothly and we thankyou for all your hard work in planning and preparing us for the big day.

Once again, Jewel, we thankyou for all you have done for us and we are sure that all your blessings will ensure we continue to have a long and happy life together.

Jewel thank you for being our Celebrant. We appreciated that you organised the paperwork for the certificates, the preparation for the ceremony and also your personal touch to our Wedding.

Both Chandan and I were looking forward to our Wedding day for a long time and the ceremony was the best part of the day. To have our family and friends share this with us was a wonderful blanket of love.

Take care and all the best.

We had an amazing day and were so glad that you were part of it. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and I know you played a huge role in creating the atmosphere for the day. We had nothing but positive feedback on you and your service from all our guests. They thought it was all beautifully done. We will definitely recommend you to everyone.

Also thank you so much for the beautiful folder and ceremony script you provided us with – it’s beautiful. Also a special thanks from me for calming me down just that little bit before I had to walk down the aisle…..I really needed that and appreciate it so much. We also appreciate your time and effort with our meetings prior to the wedding and also the practice the day before.

Thank you for being part of our day.

Nick (the bestman) commented on how relaxing and nice your voice tone was and you were extremely reassuring during the ceremony when I broke down and you calmly said: "Just take your time."

Bobby and I both want to thank you and say that we were extremely happy and are still feeling special after the occasion.

We had the most wonderful day ... everyone is RAVING about the whole thing and that’s an understatement. Most have said it’s the best wedding they have ever been to, so natural, full of love, creative, very Dana and Frank, relaxed and it goes on and on. We are so happy!

Thank you very much!!! It’s all due to you and your energy and love and creativity. The sand ceremony is the most spoken about, everyone thought it was terrific.

Thank you again, you were wonderful in every way.

Love,

Em and Christian

Thank you so much for making our ceremony so sacred and so special for us and for all our friends and family who came from far and wide to see us married.

We knew from the moment we met you that you were the right person for us and we can't thank you enough for all the love, grace and serenity you brought to the occasion.

All the best,

Em & Christian - 14th June 2007.

We were impressed with your level of professionalism from the first time we spoke until the actual day. We can’t commend you enough. As you know our time was very limited to find suppliers for our wedding back in February last year and I chose you from an online photo I think. You have a calm serenity about you that I liked and upon meeting you this was proven. After meeting with you that first time, we had Adam’s Mum in tears explaining what we had discussed. Our parents and friends all commented on how beautiful our ceremony was.

We appreciate your kindness and commitment to guiding us to create a ceremony that we would feel comfortable with.

I must say, the rehearsal was really important and helped us all. Your advice to me about the day and how to handle the pressure of everyone around helped me a lot.

It was a beautiful ceremony and day, it was so much more than we could ever have hoped for. On the day, it was so reassuring to have you there.

Our heartfelt thanks Jewel, we wish you all best!

With love,

Nina & Adam - 5th June 2007 (Tokyo).

Dear Jewel,

Thank you for everything, your intuitive nature, warm smile and effortless grace all helped create the most wonderful ceremony for us both and we can not thank you enough.

Our friends and family have expressed their sincerest feedback on how wonderful the ceremony was. Your ability to organize us all and keep us calm is a true gift.

Love always,

Natalie and David - 2nd October 2006.

We came to you full of ideas but short on details and time. You took these jumbled threads of ideas and organized them into a colourful tapestry.

You allowed us to express our love in a meaningful way in a beautiful setting and fulfill our dreams for this very special day.  Your calming presence and warmly creative personality added another dimension to the whole ceremony, giving it a grace and warmth that we could really feel.

Thank you again for making our dream come true.

Claire and Michael - 2nd August 2006.

Thank you just so so much for the most beautiful ceremony. It really was exactly how we dreamt it would be! Full credits to you.

Everyone loved the ceremony and commented that you were the perfect choice for it. We definitely agreed.

Thank you once again for sharing our special day and making it so perfect.

Lots of Love,

David & Geraldine Gregory - 17th May 2006.

Thank you Jewel. The day was absolutely perfect and just the way we had pictured it in our minds. So many things went right for us, we are sure the day was blessed.

Marsha and I thought your ceremony was wonderful and really appreciated you being there to relax and reassure us. We had a lot of comments from our guests complimenting the ceremony and the way you conducted yourself.

Of particular note was the comments from the photographer – he said you were probably the best Celebrant he has ever worked with.

So thank you Jewel. You really contributed a lot to the day and made it extra special for us, was truly a blessing.

Regards,

Nick McGowan - 26th April 2006.

I wouldn't have changed a single thing about my wedding. It was really a dream come true.

Once again your professionalism and caring ways were also shining as they were on Nicholas's name giving day.
It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to have you share our special day with us and our family and friends. You truly are an amazing person. You conduct yourself with such dignity and grace.

Thank you once again for all your help, advice and love that you gave us.

With love and best wishes always for you and your family.

We were thrilled to have Jewel as our Marriage Celebrant. Even though we were in Perth, Western Australia and Jewel was in Queensland, it all ran very smoothly. Jewel was always willing to listen when I rang and understood what we wanted and how we felt.

Thank you Jewel, we would not have had anyone else for our perfect day.

Love Lilian and Eric - December 2004.

Thank you for the magic.

Love Jasmine and Steve - June 2004.
