Our day couldn't have been perfect without the wonderful cast supporting us through the day (and many months prior!).
Rachel was our wonderful celebrant! She made the process easy to understand, and was very helpful with my last minute vows and questions!!! Rachel was reliable, friendly, thoughtful and everything I wanted our celebrant to be.
I had a few tears when I first read her draft for our introduction - she captured our story so beautifully I can't thank her enough.
Absolutely recommend many times over. x
Lauren and Campbell, Artemis Winery, Berrima, September 2023
Rachel married us at home, she is a genuine person and made everyone feel comfortable. She is understanding and nothing seemed to bother her she took it in her stride with a lovely smile. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking for someone to be their celebrant. Thank you Rachel our special day it was perfect.
Kathleen and John, Bowral, March 2022
Rachel was the celebrant for our wedding in the Southern Highlands just recently. We rescheduled three times due to COVID and Rachel was so calm and accomodating the entire time.
She made our ceremony feel special and personal, and guided us through all the steps along the way. We’ve received multiple comments from our guests that she was the best celebrant they’ve seen. I can’t say enough good things about her.
Ellen and Matthew, Bendooley Estate, November 2021
Rachel as our celebrant created calm, abundant joy, fun and humor for our ceremony. Rachel spent considerable time prior to the ceremony with myself and husband to be to understand our back story and what we truly wanted for our special day. She built this all into our ceremony on the day. Rachel's attention to detail and organisation skills assisted us with the admin side of things and her warmth, gentleness and approach ensured we felt supported, listened to and respected. We couldn't recommend Rachel highly enough as a Celebrant who will go out of her way to make your special day extra extra special. We will always look back on our day and having Rachel as our celebrant very fondly.
Thankyou Rachel
Kate and Gus, Private Residence Bowral, March 2021
Rachel is T H E perfect celebrant. She is extremely organised, attentive and most importantly - genuinely interested in you and your partner having a wonderful experience. She has the rare ability to build instant connection in a natural way that is pure and authentic. Do not hesitate to to involve her in your ceremony.
Emma and Michael, Springfield Farm, Bundanoon, September 2020
As soon as my wife and I met Rachel we knew we wanted her to be the celebrant at our wedding. She is very easy to talk to and very helpful with the planning of ceremony and submission of legal paperwork. We were unable to have the wedding we had initially intended on due to the COVID-19 outbreak but Rachel helped us bring our wedding forward at last minute so we could have our special day. Thank you so much Rachel.
Chris and Erin, Eagle View Park, March 2020
Rachel is amazing!! Our experience with Rachel was second to none, she is very professional in her written communication while being warm and light hearted with her verbal communication. Rachel did a great job at our ceremony, it went smoothly and was fun! Would absolutely recommend!
Laura and Paul, Centennial Vineyards, March 2020
I highly recommend Rachel as your celebrant. Rachel made the whole booking and planning process a breeze. Rachel was flexible and accommodating which was important to us planning a wedding from overseas. Rachel is lovely, funny and professional which made the ceremony warm and relaxed.
Danielle and Christopher, Centennial Vineyards, March 2020
We cannot recommend Rachel Harman enough. She is very professional but also is lovely and approachable. We had a small wedding with 30 guests and Rachel allowed us to make the ceremony ours, she is very adaptable to whatever you have in mind. Rachel was very easy to work with, she took the stress out of a wedding.
Bella and Stephen, Private Garden Mittagong, November 2019
Rachel was wonderful in performing our ceremony in October last year. Throughout the process she kept in touch and took the time to ask questions and to know us so that we could make the ceremony about us, which made it incredibly special. She ensures that your ceremony is the only one on the day which I feel is incredibly important as you want to ensure you day runs as smoothly as possible. Rachel is warm, and friendly and I would recommend her as your celebrant for your day.
Amy and Clay, Gibraltar Hotel, October 2019
Rachel was amazing for our special day! Due to our circumstances we were planning our wedding only 7 weeks ahead and I found Rachel just over a month before our big day! She made us feel like we were a priority and really took a lot of stress out of the planning. She performed the ceremony with grace, poise and humour and matched our vibe perfectly. I honestly cannot recommend her enough - she was lovely throughout the whole process and we are eternally grateful to her!
Taylah and Andy, Fitzroy Inn, October 2019
Rachel, thank you for being so warm, supportive and professional as you took us through the journey of getting married. We so appreciate your advice leading up to our wedding day, and appreciate the time you took to personalise our ceremony so perfectly. Rachel was so well-spoken and helpful on the big day, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of celebrant.
Meredith and Nick, Peppers Manor House, August 2019,
Rachel was exactly what we wanted in a celebrant. Every meeting we had with her was full of genuine warmth and enthusiasm for our big day. All of this even though we were but one of the many couples she had married. She was incredibly flexible and yet supportive; she guided us towards creating the ceremony that was right for us. Most importantly she understood how crucial the ceremony and celebrant is in setting the mood of the wedding and how much can be affected if it doesn't go right. We really valued the advice and assistance she provided throughout and like all of the other testimonials, I cannot recommend her highly enough and greatly appreciate everything she did for us.
Hayley and Nick, The Gibraltar Hotel, April 2017
When planning our wedding ceremony, all we wanted was something low key and relaxed, sentimental but not ornamental. Rachel helped us plan a ceremony that wasn't traditional but reflected exactly who we are as a couple, when we had no idea where to start. Thank you Rachel for making our ceremony something we will remember forever, making it all so easy, and for being so great at your job. I can only hope to see you officiating at all the weddings I attend in the future so they can be as good as ours!
Eugeine and Matt, The Rift Bowral, March 2017
A sincere thank you for conducting the most amazing ceremony. It was perfect and everything we hoped for. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and making the ceremony so beautifully us. We could tell that you must of put in a lot of effort and time into getting it right. Also you might be interested to hear that during the lead up to our wedding we did get pressure from our family for not having a traditional religious ceremony, however they were very impressed with you and how you personalised the ceremony to Mitch and I so perfectly! Thank you for being part of our perfect day!
Laura and Mitch, Peppers Sutton Forest, November 2016
Thank you so much for being our celebrant and for the stellar job you did on the day! You truly surpassed all of our expectations and delivered what my friends and family commented to me was the most lovely, romantic, heartfelt, humourous and thoughtful ceremony they had attended. Everyone loved you and thought you did a fantastic job. Dane and I loved your introduction (especially the bit about our mothers) and think you set exactly the right tone for the day for what we wanted. Everything went so smoothly and we felt well looked after, organised and comfortable – it was almost like a friend was marrying us (rather than someone I found on Google!). You even had a lovely pen for us to sign the register which was just so incredibly thoughtful.
Ali and Dane, Peppers Sutton Forest, March 2016
THANK YOU, we knew from the moment we met you that you would be perfect for our ceremony. You made our dream a reality. Nothing was ever a problem and your bright and positive personality was an absolute pleasure. People often talk about their wedding being the best day of their lives; to be honest it really was the best day of our lives. We were probably more casual then we should have been regarding the finer details in the days leading up to the wedding but you really took charge where necessary to ensure all necessary plans were stowed away by the big day. We could not have been more thrilled with the ceremony. You struck the perfect balance between relaxed and eloquent, and we are truly thankful. We hope to see you in the future, as we will certainly be recommending you to anyone looking for a celebrant.
Jess and Chris, Milton Park, October 2015
Thankyou so much for being part of our special day, you were the perfect fit for Ben and I and everyone commented how lovely the ceremony was. It really made our day perfect. You were so easy to work with and would recommend you to anyone looking for a celebrant.
Sarah and Ben, Centennial Vineyards, October 2015
We loved having Rachel as the celebrant on our special day and couldn't be happier with her efforts. She was professional, but relaxed which was the perfect mix leading up to the wedding day and on the day itself. Based on our conversations, Rachel created a beautiful ceremony that reflected our marriage story perfectly- there was humour but respect shown to the seriousness of the official proceedings. Despite our nerves, she made us feel relaxed. We would highly recommend Rachel to anyone.
Kate and Mark, Bendooley Estate, July 2015
A HUGE thanks to Rachel, she made our ceremony exactly how we wanted after working with us and getting to know us the months preceding our wedding. She is incredibly friendly, personable and most of all patient! All of our family and friends commented on how natural the ceremony was carried out. Thanks again!
Ryan and Emma, Summerlees, March 2015
Rachel, what a gift you gave us. Your approach was one of love and professionalism, and the result was a ceremony that was just as we’d hoped. You have a beautiful presence and delivery and we felt so blessed to have you perform such a special milestone in our journey together.
Louisa and Dennis, Bendooley Estate, February 2015
We knew we had found our celebrant the moment we met Rachel. We couldn't wait to book her in, so called her straight after our meeting! She made us feel so comfortable with the whole process - she was reliable, organised, and did everything we asked and more. She even put together a special personalised welcoming for the start of the ceremony. We would thoroughly recommend Rachel to all of our friends, and already have!
Corinne and Anthony, Culpepper, Mandemar, November 2014
Thank you Rachel for being part of our special day. We had the most amazing time, and the ceremony was just perfect. Your personal introduction was just beautiful and we really appreciated you taking the time to make it so reflective of my and Gavin’s story. We had lots of comments around how beautiful the ceremony was, and that was because of your beautiful words and you letting us just be ourselves. You were just fabulous to work - so relaxed, cool, calm and collected. So thank you for being so awesome!
Tamara and Gavin, Ealing Forest Winery, October 2014
Rachel was the perfect celebrant in every way. Upon meeting, she was professional and organised, yet so warm and personable that we immediately felt at ease. She took time to get to know us and our plans, and guided us through all the paperwork. Most importantly she gave us the ceremony we truly wanted. Rachel was punctual and beautifully presented, and through her words and manner brought everyone together. Our guests remarked on this. We will be eternally grateful to Rachel for officiating our heartfelt and joyous ceremony, and could not recommend her more highly
Sean and Megan, Rona Lodge, October 2014
I meant every word of that, Rachel - it is a big thing to trust a person with, you were so phenomenal, and you will always have a special place in our hearts! Sincerest thanks, Megan
From our very first conversation with Rachel, we knew that she was the right Celebrant for us. Rachel very quickly understood the relaxed and fun loving style we were seeking for our wedding and showed the flexibility required to genuinely contribute towards the fabric of the day. Rachel really understood us as people and on the day spoke from the heart as though she had known us for years! We could not have been happier with our choice and we thank Rachel for her amazing contribution to our wedding day.
John and Melissa, Rona Lodge, August 2014
Thank you for being our celebrant, May 2014. Your relaxed and friendly manner set the tone for the whole day (and night!). You made the process so easy from start to finish - everything from the formalities and 'legal stuff' to advice on the timing, positioning, wording. A shame we can't use you again ;-) however we are delighted to recommend you to other happy couples looking for someone who is professional, responsive, thoughtful, and puts everyone at ease.
