TESTIMONIALS

I’m not sure where to start with Stephanie, all I can say is that she is AMAZING!!!!

From our first phone call to our wedding day, she was such a pleasure to work with. Stephanie gave us great advice, crafted a really intimate and personal ceremony and was a great comfort during all of the Covid uncertainty. It was all just really easy, no fuss and no stress.

Our ceremony was my favourite part of our whole day thanks to Stephanie! We will recommend her to everyone!

Stephanie Bardsley - where do we start! This amazing woman was incredible for us. She held a perfect ceremony and got us married exactly how we imagined - but this goes without saying - what we really loved about her was everything before the wedding day! She was great with communication, explains everything easily, takes time to make sure it’s all sinking in while making it all feel very real and exciting! Stephanie is so so lovely and warm and can ease any nerves that we might’ve had.

All in all - she gets the job done in a professional, easy, and impeccable way and we could not recommend her higher! Love you Stephanie!

Working with Stephanie brought us so much joy! She made the entire process a breeze and removed any stress on the day of the ceremony. Stephanie coordinated with our other vendors on the day and helped line up our bridal party, musicians and seating of guests.

Her presentation style was formal where it needed to be and lighthearted everywhere else which is exactly what we wanted. We loved how she collected details on our history and love story and shared it in parts during the ceremony. Thank you Steph for making the process super easy and being so beautiful and friendly.

Stephanie was an absolute JOY to work with. I cannot highly recommend her. She made the process of what seemed to be the most nerve wrecking part of the wedding so easy! Stephanie tapped into my husband and I’s emotions towards each other and shared incredible stories, feelings and moments that we got to share with our family and friends. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day.

Steph was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. From our first words on our first phone call, we clicked and we knew she'd be the perfect person to officially tie the knot for us.

She was so accomodating and made everything seamless, from virtual meetings, to phone calls, to check ins, to embracing our style and personalities, she was amazing to have as a part of our big day. She calmed us when we were nervous, she nailed the timings and she captured our story in our ceremony in a way that made it possible for us and our guests to relive our time together so far.

We are so appreciative and can't thank her enough! Highly recommend Steph to anyone!

Stef and Matt | Ottimo House

Stephanie married Pat and I in March 2021. From our very first phone call (during COVID lockdown!), Steph immediately understood the vibe we were going for and it was more like chatting to a friend than a celebrant! She walked us through everything we needed to prepare for and helped us create our dream ceremony - that was the perfect balance of loving and funny. All of our guests commented on how fabulous the ceremony was and we have already referred Steph to so many of our friends because we truly think she's incredible at what she does! Thanks again, Steph!

Pat & Luisa | Mindaribba, New South Wales

Steph was absolutely incredible from the moment we started talking, through all the COVID shenanigans, to our backyard intimate ceremony in the peak of 2020 craziness and most recently with our vow renewal and ceremony in May 2021. Steph made everything so easy and we loved having her be part of our day. She is such an amazing celebrant and put so much thought and effort into making our ceremony so special. Highly recommend!

Laura and Matthew | Grow Wild, Alpine

Stephanie was my first friend, being born next door to me, and to have her officiate our wedding was absolutely amazing. She literally made every step of the process so easy and relaxing and her constant energy kept us on track whilst making it fun at the same time. The personal touch she provided to our ceremony made it so special and she was great a coaxing out some of the romantic stuff which neither of were particularly good at. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout it all of it and particularly during the ceremony! Thank you Stephanie for making our day that extra bit special and for anyone thinking of getting a celebrant look no further as Stephanie is the best decision you will ever make! - Mike

Stephanie was the most amazing Celebrant! She made our planning process and wedding day an absolute breeze. In what can be a stressful time leading up to the wedding we didn’t have to worry about any of the paperwork and legal requirements for the ceremony as she completely organised all of this. Stephanie was so professional yet made the ceremony so personal as well. Her care and time taken to write the ceremony highlighted her passion and really set her part from other Celebrants. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! - Prue

Thank you so, so, so much for EVERYTHING! Thank you for being an incredible celebrant. Words cannot express how grateful we both feel that you were there. It was such a calming force during a day that ended up having a couple of surprises and curveballs thrown our way thanks for COVID.

Honestly, until the day - I don't think I truly understood how important it was to have a good celebrant who knows how to steer a firm ship. You were incredible and I honestly, honestly, honestly don't think we would have managed without you. It sounds super cliche but once we were up there despite feeling nervous and a whole bunch of emotions - I just knew that you were going to look after us and get us through to the other side.

And you did! Our day was magical. I get goosebumps thinking back to when we said our vows and heard the bits you shared that were a surprise to both of us. Our mums were so grateful to be included as witnesses and in the candle lighting ceremony. They have both said how special and valued it made them feel which is beautiful.

I've also had a number of guests who were absolutely blown away by our ceremony. So many said that it was so nice to hear personal stories and vows that came from the heart. A very unique experience for a lot of people who are more used to traditional church ceremonies I think!!!

Thank you for everything!

Like so many, our original wedding date was postponed due to Covid-19. In a normally stressful time, Steph was an absolute dream and calming/reassuring presence throughout the process of changing dates and documentation processes. We absolutely loved having Steph lead our special day, she worked with our friend who told personal stories of how we met and intertwined the formalities seamlessly. The ceremony was our favourite part of the day, it was so personal and perfect for what we wanted. We couldn't have achieved this without Steph, she was amazing and is highly recommended by us.

Ashleigh and Adam | Jack Vanny Reserve, Maroubra

Steph married Matt and me last week and she was beyond amazing. From the initial phone call where she really helped put our stresses about the day at ease, to her calm presence and demeanour on the wedding day itself. Steph was a delight. The ceremony felt so personal and all our guests couldn’t stop saying how beautiful it was. Thank you so much Steph!

Isobel and Matt | Mindaribba, New South Wales

Steph married my husband and me in a very intimate and private ceremony. She helped us understand the ceremony process which made our day enjoyable and relaxed, meaning we could focus purely on being present in the moment and on each other. She was thoughtful and really fun to work with. I would absolutely recommend Steph to anyone looking for a personal experience from their marriage celebrant.

A & T | Private Ceremony, Sydney

Steph was the most amazing celebrant. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her and could not recommend her highly enough. Go and find yourself a man or a woman and get yourself a Steph!

Peta and Oliver | The Freedom Hub, Sydney

Steph married us three weeks ago and she couldn’t have been more perfect! She really look the time to get to know us which made the ceremony so special and really reflected us. Everyone who was there compliments us on how perfect the ceremony was. I would highly recommend Steph to any future brides or grooms, we really couldn’t have wanted anything more - she was amazing!

Laura and Troy | Dunes, Palm Beach

Stephanie was the most amazing celebrant. She went above and beyond in every way - personalising our experience and making sure we were comfortable with overstep. You can tell Steph has worked in events as she is a professional and ensures every last detail is perfect. She is certainly a premium marriage celebrant, with details like special calligraphy on our marriage certificate and sending us the most beautiful flowers ahead of the big day really making her stand out. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Rachel and Andrew | Gunners Barracks, Mosman

Stephanie married my husband and me last weekend and she was hands down the best celebrant we’ve ever witnessed. She had the guests intrigued, then in stitches, then teary with happiness and sentiment. After the ceremony, people raved to me about her. I am so glad I chose Stephanie Bardsley to be our wedding celebrant! I wish we could do it all again!

Laura and Cameron | The Barn at Leeston, Roslyn, New South Wales

Stephanie was amazing - she made us feel so comfortable from the get go and has such great energy. We knew she was the one for our special day within 5 minutes of chatting. She was there to assist throughout the lead up to the wedding and made everything so easy. Her words were very special and we will treasure the ceremony for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for the perfect celebrant for their big day!

Anjelica and Sean | The Island, Sydney Harbour

Steph was amazing throughout the whole process of our marriage. Funny, loving, caring and charismatic - everything you want in a celebrant! Not old and no boring is a plus too!

Sarah and Will | Clarkes Point, Hunters Hill

Our wedding day would not have been the exception day it was without Stephanie. To say we recommend Stephanie highly is an understatement - she ensured our special day was fun, professional, organised and totally memorable. From the moment we met Stephanie over coffee we just knew we were in great hands. We corresponded on all the moment of the day and helped us where we felt uncertain. Stephanie was totally professional but also totally engaged and so much fun to work with. As a gay couple embarking on our first wedding, we were nervous and totally unprepared. Stephanie relaxed us and immediately saw, and appreciated our vision for a humour filled wedding with lightness. It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Stephanie Bardsley as the most amazing celebrant and essential part of your wedding!
