"Anke is a true professional, she made our wedding day extremely special with her bubbly personality and humour!  We highly recommend her to anyone tying the knot"
Fee and Ben

 

 

 


 

"From when we first met Anke we felt very much at ease with her and knew she was the right celebrant for us. Anke spent a lot of time planning the content and ensured that our wedding ceremony was perfect for us. On the day, one of the wettest of the summer, Anke coped with the unbelievable noise of the rain and we managed to have our ceremony outside as we wanted. The beautiful hand-fasting part of our ceremony was particularly symbolic for us, acknowledging our celtic heritage and signifying the joining of our families. Thank you, Anke, for giving our ceremony the significance we wanted"!
Susan and Seamus

"Thank you, Anke! Not only were you attentive to every detail which made our ceremony perfect, you also made us feel like we were the only people in the world to go through this and felt so special. We had so many comments from our guests that said that you were such an amazing celebrant and that it was truly such a lovely ceremony. Some of them could not believe how captivating you were with the way you delivered it with your voice an mannerisms.
Anke - thank you, it was such an amazing day for us that you helped make it happen."
Rebecca and Brent

 


"We had Anke marry us recently and she was excellent. Throughout she was warm, imaginative, highly organised, professional and most importantly FUN. She listened carefully to all our requests, helped us choose readings and presented us with a draft of the ceremony in advance to ensure it was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her on the highest terms to anyone. (She also makes a pretty mean carrot cake as well!! :)"

"Anke performed our wedding ceremony, although the weather wasn't what we wanted, every aspect of the ceremony was perfect. Anke listened to what we wanted and made the whole process very relaxing and stressless. We had many people comment how clear speaking, professional yet fun Anke was(and how it was nice to see a celebrant dressed like she was at a wedding not a office job!). We wouldn't hesitate in recommending her services to friends and family."
Thank you again for a wonderful day,
Meghan and Blanton

 

 


 

Anke was the celebrant for our wedding in March 2009, on board a launch off the beach at Cathedral Cove in Hahei, Coromandel Peninsular. She is a lovely person, thorough in making sure all requirements were met, she provided us with a range of text options, guidance as to how we would structure our ceremony, what we may or may not wish to include as part of our vows to each other, suggested including the children as part of our ceremony. We and our guests thought it was a lovely, moving and very special ceremony. We would be very confident to recommend Anke as a celebrant.
Peter and Cara

 


 

Anke was the most professional, efficient, friendly and stylish celebrant we could have asked for!  Her attention to detail and ability to relate to all involved was apparent from the first time we met her.  But the best feedback is from guests, who have commented that she was the best celebrant they’ve ever seen!  Thank you Anke for making our day so fantastic!

Craig and Toni

 

 

 

 


 

Thank you so much for making our day so wonderful. We were so lucky to have you as our celebrant, from the moment we met, you made us feel so relaxed and at ease! You made the whole experience so enjoyable and special, not just for us, but for the whole wedding party! Through all the hiccups with our venue, you were our rock. Taking time out and just going above and beyond for us. Anke, you are a very special lady and we are so grateful we found you to marry us! You are perfect for the role and I know you will continue to make couples as happy as you made us!
Manuela and Ashley

 


 

From the moment we first met Anke over the phone she was warm, enthusiastic and professional. She kept us organised and on track so that our ceremony ran smoothly and was not one of those last minute stressors! Anke listened to what we wanted and made the whole process fun. Many of our friends and family commented on how good she was. She has a wonderful speaking manner and a lovely personality. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
Helen and Mark

 


 

Thank you for the excellent ceremony, Anke! You did a great job and many people commented that it was one of the best ceremonies they had witnessed!
Kim and Richard

 


 

We wanted a modern and light, yet heartfelt ceremony and Anke listened and understood our needs. She was very helpful in designing the ceremony and it was perfect – about us, but also including our three children. Anke’s warmth and friendliness are her greatest assets, but she is also very efficient and organised and made sure that we were, too, in the gentlest possible way! I would recommend Anke to anyone, she was great!
Nicky and Kenton

Charlotte and Jonny


"Words of appreciation from a bereaved family

Anke, where do I begin? The shock of loosing our mum, and the deep sadness was very fresh when we first met.

You brought us together and gently guided us through starting to talk about who mum was and the legacy she left behind in preparation for her funeral.

What should have been a difficult process, you turned into a therapeutic one. Your genuine nature instantly assured us that you were the right one to honor our mum in a celebration of her life.

Our wishes, thoughts and requests felt appreciated and respected by you as we collaborated on the service.

Your soft presence as we gathered the courage to stand up and speak at the ceremony was comforting. Thank you for honouring our mum in such a special way. It is truly appreciated.
Kathy (daughter of Gaylene and Bruce B, January 2012)
