Michelle Read was the best choice we made for our wedding. She curated the most beautiful ceremony that so perfectly reflected everything we wanted. Michelle was so easy to work with, super professional and truly made us feel at ease from the first time we met her through every step of the ceremony. Every guest commented how unique and special the ceremony felt thanks to Michelle! We would recommend her to any couple as she truly helped create the most special day that we will never forget.

‘We went into the ceremony planning process with no idea what to expect, but Michelle was an absolute dream to work with. She made the whole process of mapping out the ceremony so easy, and the end result was so special. There were so many lovely personal details included, and her own words on love and marriage will stay with us forever. Michelle went above and beyond to make sure the ceremony reflected us and our relationship, and we were so happy and grateful to have her as our celebrant.’

Our ceremony was by far the most special and meaningful part of our day. Michelle really took the time to tailor it completely to us as a couple and included our family and special rituals we had chosen which made it all the more powerful. Michelle brought such a uniqueness to the ceremony and managed to strike the balance between romance, interaction, humour and emotion so perfectly.

Michelle is an excellent celebrant. We have hired her twice now, for our daughter’s naming ceremony and our wedding. She will help you map out the ceremony as you wish and has lots of great tips for things to include. She is really warm and listens to your wishes on how you want your day to go. We felt very relaxed in her company and would recommend for any event! Many Thanks Michelle!
