Wedding Thank You’s

Mischa and Kate

Helen did an amazing job at our wedding in the Gower in May! We had an intimate and relaxed garden event and Helen really helped to personalise the ceremony to our personalities and tastes. Helen was friendly and personable and made a special effort to get to know our family and friends which added to the charm of the day. Lots of our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was and how special and unique it was. I would recommend Helen anytime and we were thoroughly impressed and happy with the service! Thanks again Helen!

When planning our wedding, we’d always wanted to have a friend conduct the ceremony. Having not been married before, we assumed this would be an easy ask for an untrained friend – not so! As we found out, assembling and conducting the most important part of the day is a difficult thing to do. Long story short, we found ourselves two weeks away from our wedding day with no ceremony in place. 

 

A friend suggested that we hire a celebrant, assuring us that we would not lose the personal touch that we were looking for. We set about the search and after a few refusals from celebrants who didn’t feel they could work to our timescales, we found Helen – she was enthusiastic, friendly and most importantly, up to the challenge! 

It was as important to her that the ceremony was personal and unique to us, so she spent three hours talking to us on facetime to get to know us better. Helen drew on her expertise to suggest that we add some symbolism into the ceremony, which is something we hadn’t considered ourselves, but she worked with us to find something which reflected us as a couple perfectly. 

On the day, Helen was great, she kept us calm and conducted a beautiful engaging ceremony. We can’t Helen enough for coming to our rescue at the last minute – she was able to turn something extremely stressful into something we didn’t have to think twice about by virtue of her hard work. Thank you so much, Helen. We hope our ceremony stays top place for speed!

Helen saved the day recently for myself and my new husband. The hotel where we had booked our wedding no longer had their license and it seemed like everything had gone wrong. Then we spoke to Helen who arranged to perform a ceremony for us and it was brilliant. Helen understood what we wanted from the day and created a personalised experience for us that was better that what was initially planned. A lot of family members at the ceremony commented on how special it was and how much they enjoyed it. Thank you Helen for not only rescuing our day but also creating a magical experience for us.

Vixx and Ben

Helen, what can I say?
You truly made our day the special, unique, and personal.
Firing the registrar and finding you was a miracle, I couldn’t imagine the day being any other way, we both want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating such a wonderful and heartfelt ceremony. I can’t think of one thing I’d change, and I am going to get everyone to use celebrants from now on haha.
Sincerely we all thank you and I wish you all the best in all your future endeavours, you truly are an amazing woman and a beautiful soul! ❤️

Saffy and James

​YES!! I would recommend. Helen is so charismatic and brings a real uniqueness to the ceremony. We loved our wedding ceremony and so did our guests. It was beautiful and so personal. How lovely that over 130 guests got the chance to interact with us firstly during our hand hasting. Best part about it is we have a lovely keep sake in the form of a willow hoop and ribbon to remind us of that joyous day. The next ceremony I intend to host a naming ceremony. Will DEFINITELY come back to Helen for this 🙂 thank you so much xxx

Joyce and Tom

We are so grateful to you Helen, and your beautiful, moving ceremony. It was by far the best decision we made to choose you to have as our celebrant. 

I would recommend you to anyone. 

We knew from the first time we spoke you were right for us, the right amount of sentiment and humour. A love story with your thoughtful suggestion of the hand fastening. Everyone was talking about it after, about how unique it was. 

Thank you xx

Michelle and Phil

What a lovely, professional and engaging lady! We were thrilled with Helen’s services and would highly recommend her for your special day! Thank you so much

Claire and Nick

Last weekend Helen performed our wedding service at Nantyronen Station on the Vale of Rheidol Railway. We always knew we wanted the traditional structure of a wedding but with our own unique spin on it. After just a Skype call and one meet up, Helen created a perfect service. It was witty, fun, romantic and personal. Helen is so kind and thoughtful in her approach and is just brimming with love and joy, you can’t help but smile and laugh in her presence. Thank you so much Helen for listening to us and making our ceremony so very special, we (and our guests) loved it!

Livia and Joshua

We chose to have a wedding unique to us and that’s exactly what Helen delivered.

Helen was recommended to us by someone during our wedding planning at Oldwalls so I thought I’d give her a call to get more info. From the moment Helen answered the phone I felt like we clicked and knew immediately that we had to have her. She was so kind and I felt as if I already knew her, so needless to say the planning of our ceremony felt so effortless. Helen knew immediately what we wantedand was always available to chat or a coffee to and bat around ideas and help with any worries around the day. She made us feel so at ease with everything and weddings can be extremely daunting!

We are so happy we met Helen as we were able to have the personal ceremony we had dreamt of. All of our family members and friends have commented on how beautifully Helen delivered our ceremony and how it’s the most personal wedding they have ever been to.

Do not look any further if you are looking for something personal and unique to you, give Helen a call or message, you will not regret it! If anything you’ll leave with a new and wonderful friend ❤️

Sam and Steve

Helen from day one was incredible, she totally got us a couple and our vision for the day. She made us a truly unique ceremony that had our guests crying with laughter and happiness. Nothing was too much trouble and the compliments we had afterwards on how people respected us for doing it ‘our way’. I would highly recommend using Helen if you want to have control of your day and truly have the ceremony of your dreams. My dad had already said ‘when it’s my time to go, I want Helen back’ ?

Thank you Helen for making our so special. ?

Phil and Haf

Helen exceeded our expectations of a celebrant for our wedding! From the moment we contacted her she took the time to get to know us as a couple and wrote us the most perfect ceremony. She is very personal, professional but most of all fun! she even got us making cocktails in the ceremony! everyone loved it and said it was the best wedding they had been to! That was down to Helen! Thank you! Phil and Haf x

Mark and Kim

Helen was amazing and helped us to tailor our wedding ceremony on the beach at Penbryn which helped to make it personal and perfect for us. Thank you. Xx

Louise and Kevin

Last week (May 12th) Helen shared our special day with us as our celebrant. It was a fantastic ceremony and perfect for myself and my husband. Helen captured things about us that we hadn’t even realised. The guests laughed. Cried. And felt part of the ceremony. Our 3 daughters were part of the ceremony too and Helen made them all feel at ease and important. The sand ceremony is one I’d recommend if there are children in the relationship. It’s such a beautiful gesture.

Helen spent time preparing our ceremony and checked with us every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better, nicer, kinder celebrant to share our special memories with.

Jaclyn and Tom

We can’t recommend Helen enough. We wanted something unique for our wedding and she gave us just that. Not only is Helen kind, patient, and warm, but also funny, creative, and full of joy – all of which came through during our ceremony. She helped us develop our ideas into a ceremony that felt true to us as a couple and genuinely reflected the love felt in the room. Helen’s generosity and natural ability to connect with those around her make her an ideal celebrant. We are so thankful that we chose Helen to guide us the through the best day of our lives. Our guests are still talking about it!

Emily and Jason

We feel so blessed to have had Helen as our celebrant for our wedding this past October. Helen was so generous with her time leading up to the wedding which enabled us to plan the perfect ceremony from afar. As we live in Canada the difference in timezone could have been an issue but Helen went out of her way to accommodate our schedule – even meeting with us over skype late at night! She helped guide us to our perfect ceremony, which was simple but really spoke to us as a couple. All of our guests raved about the ceremony. Friends of ours even said that they hope to find someone as good as Helen to officiate their upcoming wedding! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Helen as our celebrant. She was wonderful and we are so grateful to have had her lead us through the most important day of our lives!

Sarah and Brendan

Brendan & I first met Helen over Skype as we live in Australia, we were having two weddings and Helen had agreed to be our celebrant for our Welsh wedding. Not your normal setup but Helen was very understanding of our situation and did anything she could to make it an easy process for us. The service and words she wrote for us were just beautiful and made us so glad that we had chosen to redo our wedding for all our UK friends and family. Can’t recommend Helen highly enough, lovely ceremony & fantastic lady.

Glenn and Gilly

Well … what an amazing day! Thank you so much, you were an absolute star! I don’t think it could have gone much better really, it was everything we wanted and more.You got the tone and the mood spot on … just the right balance of ceremony and celebration, order and chaos, control and anarchy … just as it should have been!

There have been quite a few photos posted on Facebook, a few of which I’ve tagged you in … just so you can see them! Some of them are really amazing and it’s great to have such a wonderful record of the occasion. (A friend of ours has also sent us a memory stick with over four hundred more photos of the day!)

So, all in all, a huge success and, once again, many thanks!

Harriet and Lise

Helen has a real gift for making a wedding unique and tailoring her contribution to the wishes of the bridal pair.  Her wealth of experience and humour made her really fun to work with.  She helped us create wonderful vows that we still reflect on.  Thank you so much.  Many of our friends and family were full of praise for the way she held and led the ceremony.

Kate and Chris

Thank you Helen for being our wedding celebrant. We felt really relaxed and comfortable with you from our first meeting, and you really built our ceremony around us. The ceremony really reflected us and was delivered with sentiment, humour and emotion. We also really loved the hand-tying ceremony at the end, it added an ‘official’ feel to the proceedings, in some ways more so than the exchanging of rings. So many of our guests commented that the hand-tying really stood out for them. We had such a memorable day, and you were a big part of that Helen. Wish we could do it all again!

Becci and David

Thank you Helen for being the celebrant at our wedding! From start to finish Helen was brilliant, listening to our stories and delivering a memorable ceremony on the day! I am so pleased we took your advice on the sand pouring – the bottle now has pride of place on our mantelpiece! Highly recommend Helen – thank you x

Babs and Michael

An enormous thank you again for making our day perfect, I’m so sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak with you and again so sorry you didn’t even get a chance to have a champagne!!

Rachel and Greg

It’s been 4 weeks since our wedding, it’s flown by! Helen was the celebrant at our ceremony and it was perfect! We got on so well with her right from first contact, she seemed to ‘get us’ straight away! We didn’t want anything religious at our wedding and wanted it all about us not a script that is used over and over with just a change of names … Helen wrote our script full of humour love emotion and it was everything we could have hoped for! We added in sand pouring and hand fasting and the whole ceremony was just so awesome we still talk about it now with laughter and such happy fond memories. We highly recommend Helen for any family occasion needing a focal point, structure and someone to pull you all together without religion overshadowing the love you have to share with family and friends. Make your day about you!!

Hannah and Alistair

Helen conducted our intimate wedding ceremony in Wales. From the get go she was almost as enthusiastic and excited about our wedding as we were! She did a fantastic job of getting to know us, giving us helpful ideas about the ceremony and did a fantastic job on the day, even without having a chance to rehearse, or even really see the venue before hand. The ceremony was touching and exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Helen, for making our special day that much more special.

Claire and Richard

We chose treasured ceremonies because we wanted to involve all our wedding guests in the ceremony but the place we originally wanted to get married wouldn’t cater for over 100 people. That’s when we met Helen and she made the process of the ceremony easy from start to finish. The ceremony was beautiful and all of the little touches such as lighting candles for those no longer with us to pouring sand to show that we had become a family was perfect. We were very grateful and out of this world delighted with the service. We couldn’t have asked for anything or anyone better for our special day. Every single detail was covered and every single little thing we requested, Helen accommodated us. When Helen first said you can get married anywhere I didn’t believe her but with Helen and treasured ceremonies anywhere does actually mean anywhere. Thank you very much, Helen.

Shelley and Mike

Helen was the celebrant for our wedding earlier this month and did such a fantastic job of creating our special and personalised ceremony. Helen came recommended to us by our venue Carreg Adventure and I’m very glad we chose her. Our ceremony was my favourite part of the wedding. We were able to write our own vows, add a male voice choir sing along and a candle lighting ceremony. All our guests rated her very highly. Thanks Helen X

Aubrey and Stephanie

We would like to thank you for making our wedding the special, unique day we hoped it would be. Also, Clare was a legend on the day, calming my nerves and serving drinks, in addition to carrying out our ceremony! Please pass on our thanks to her x
