Since the moment we sat down with Shelly, we knew that she was the best fit for us. She understood and expressed our love for eachother in the ceremony and took on board our special requests for music, customised rituals and acknowledgements. Most importantly, Shelly made the time for us well before the wedding to run through the plan at her home and in the venue. Both of us couldn't be happier sharing our special day with Shelly and can't thank her enough for being our celebrant.
