On the 9th of September a new friendship was born.
Words can not express the delight in having Mona preform her over and above services at our wedding. She made it a very special day for both my wife and I as well as my guests. She is worth her weigh in gold and then some. Conducted in 2 languages ALL my guests ( some international) were very impressed. And on this day she brought 2 families and friends together. Simply outstanding. Like I said WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS our delight in choosing Mona.
Thank you so much.. Love Stuart and Wanling Coleman

Thank you Stuart & Wanling. Thank you for always being so appreciative of every step in our process. You have been delightful people to get to assist and know. Your family and friends are lovely and I wish you two all the best!

Mona is friendly, easy to deal with and very professional. We knew we were in good hands since our first meeting. She has a lovely speaking voice and I had many many comments on how great she presented the letters reading in the ceremony. She also helped coordinating the photo taking after the ceremony with the guests, which was REALLY REALLY out of our expectation. I cannot highly recommend Mona enough!!!!!!

Thank you Florence. We only had minutes of good weather and I'm glad I was able to help you utilise every second of it. :)

Thank you Mona for guiding Jian and I through our Wedding preparations prior to our Wedding day.
Mona's advice and experience was vital while preparing for our Wedding day, I would recommend Mona to anyone who is considering an experienced and very considerate Celebrant.
We had many question before the Wedding day which Mona was all too pleased to answer and advise as to the correct path to take.
Again Mona thank you very much our kindest regards to you and your family.
Lester Devere

Thank you Lester, you are such a gentleman through and through.

The second we spoke to Mona over Skype we knew that she was the celebrant that we wanted to use for our wedding. Planning a wedding from overseas is never easy, but having Mona on our side definitely made it a lot easier for us!

We knew we wanted a ceremony tailored to us, and Mona went above and beyond to create a unique ceremony for us, spending time to get to know both my Partner and myself, and interviewing several of our friends in order to create a special reading just for us!

Mona was also a calming influence on the day – many in the wedding party had never been involved in a wedding before and she kept everyone organised, giving us handy tips (how to hold the flowers, how to walk in long skirts, where to hide tissues!) and helping to round up all the guests so that the ceremony ran smoothly. You can really tell that Mona cares a lot about making this a special day for the bride and groom.

We had so many compliments after the day about what a personal and touching ceremony it was, with many people saying it was the best and most personal ceremony that they had ever been to!

Mona, we cannot thank you enough, and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a celebrant who will go above and beyond!

Thank you Spamber. I loved helping you with all aspects of your wedding. Isn't technology great that the distance feels like nothing. I enjoyed getting to know you two and getting jealous of all your travels. Look forward to news of you coming home one day.

Hello Mona,

Henry and I are truly honoured to have had you part of our special day.

The ceremony you conducted was so unique and personalised. It was one of my favourite moments for the entire day.

The readings you did were so emotional and entertaining. I don't think there was a dry eye at the ceremony.

You helped us express our love to our family and each other which we'd never had the courage to do.

We received so many compliments on your work, even one month on from our big day, we are still hearing how amazing you were.

We'd definitely recommend you all our family and friends.

Thank you again. You were truly amazing!

Love
Angela & Henry

Thank you Angela & Henry for your kind words. I loved getting to know you two and your friends. I love looking at the photos you sent me - they are beautiful!

Mona was the perfect celebrant to marry us on our special day. She helped guide us through the whole process from start to finish with a calm, considerate and confident approach.

She spent so much time and effort getting to know us, our friends and families and we really don't think that anyone else would have gone to such lengths to get everything ‘just right'. We knew that we could put all of our trust in her to tailor the ceremony to suit the two of us perfectly.

We were both quite worried about being emotional on the day, so Mona's approach of reading our pre-written ‘letters' to our families which she helped compose, as well as reading our vows for us to repeat, was the ideal way to keep our emotions under control!

Mona's delivery on the day was incredible and we had so many compliments on how amazing she was and how unique the ceremony was. There was hardly a dry eye in the house.

Thank you so much Mona, you really were an integral part in ensuring that our wedding day went so smoothly. We can't thank you enough!

Jenna & Paul

Thank you for trusting me Jenna & Paul. It really meant a lot that I could be such a big part of your special day.

Dear Mona,

Thank you very very much for your hard work and help on the wedding day. It was quite a nervous time near the ceremony time. Also, thanks for the tips and help with the corset, the girls tried their best ;p.

The ceremony is perfect, beautiful and memorable!! You made everyone emotional and brought Jarrod and I both to tears although I did not expect I would cry =D.

Jarrod and I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done. We will send some pictures when the photos are ready.

Thank you once again and we are very grateful.

Warmest regards,
Kristin & Jarrod Taylor.

Thank you Kristin & Jarrod. I loved that I was allowed to be part of the girls :) It's one of the advantages of having a female celebrant! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and special day with me.

Hi Mona

We really appreciate that you celebrated our wedding this morning.

Though it was very small and little clumsy, you made our wedding lovely and meaningful enough. It was perfect for us.

Sung Lim and I feel lucky that we met a beautiful, thoughful and professional celebrator.

Thanks again and happy new year.

Sincerely,

Ju and Sung lim

Thank you Ju and Sung Lim. I didn't think it was small and clumsy at all. I thought it was intimate and beautiful. Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

Mona has done a really good job with our ceremony. She took the time to really know us through ourselves as well as our family and friends.

At the ceremony, she used this knowledge to tell our story and really adds another level of emotional touch to our celebration. Not only does she focus on bringing Christine and I together, but she also does not forget the acknowledgement of our parents, and gave us a chance to thank them for all the years of their love and care.

She brought both families back in time in an emotional trip down memory lane and let our parents see just how far we have come, from when we were just children to now being able to start our own family.

We will definitely recommend anyone to use Mona as their celebrant, for her attention to detail, her genuine care for our union, and creating a ceremony that truly brings both our families together as one.

Happily married,

Henry & Christine

Thank you so much for your kind words Henry & Christine. It was such an honor to marry another member of your family and to be welcomed like an old friend.

Mona was a fantastic celebrant and we really couldn't have asked for more. She took the time to get to know us, our family and friends, and managed to find stories on us that really made it a very personal and emotional ceremony.

On the day she took the time to put us at ease and guided us through things with smiles and humour. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how special she had made it.

Thanks again Mona - you were a big part of making our day what it was, and we'd recommend you in a heartbeat.

Thank you very much for your kind words :)
