Real Weddings, Real Words
Every ceremony I create is shaped around the couple in front of me, so no two are ever quite the same. But there’s one thing every wedding has in common: the joy, relief and pure love in the room once the words are spoken. Here’s what some of my couples – and their families – have said about their day.
From the beginning we knew we wanted a ceremony that was personal, meaningful and reflected us as a couple. Margaret absolutely delivered that and more. She took so much time and care to get to know us, understand our story and craft a ceremony that felt completely bespoke. Our guests were genuinely impressed and weeks later continue to comment on how personal and heartfelt the ceremony was and how it was unlike any wedding they’d seen before. Margaret’s dedication and warmth was there throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared that we had the ceremony we dreamed of and her passion for what she does shone through. We could not have asked for a more beautiful or meaningful way to begin our married life. Thank you Margaret for making our day so special!
Margaret was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant!
From the very first chat, she put us completely at ease. Margaret has such a warm, welcoming and calming way about her that made the whole process so much easier and far more special than we ever imagined. What we thought would just be planning a ceremony actually became this lovely journey that brought us even closer as a couple. She was always available for advice and to make changes to match our preferences as they developed over the months of planning.
She went above and beyond to make the ceremony truly personal, weaving in beautiful traditions that reflected our backgrounds and making everything feel deeply meaningful. Despite the sweltering heat on the day, Margaret delivered the ceremony so beautifully, capturing our story perfectly with just the right mix of heartfelt moments and lighthearted touches.
Our guests were full of compliments afterwards, saying it was one of the most personal and memorable ceremonies they’d ever been to. Margaret has an amazing ability to make everyone feel included and relaxed, and she brought such warmth and joy to the whole day.
We can’t thank her enough, Margaret didn’t just officiate our wedding, she made it unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your celebrant, you’re in the very best hands.
From our first meeting with Margaret, we knew we wanted her to conduct our wedding ceremony. She put us at ease immediately; she is so warm and knowledgeable. She spoke with us over the next few months, listened to our story and what was important to us in our marriage, and out of our conversations, she created the most incredible, touching, personal ceremony. All of our guests talked about how meaningful it was, and how much more personal than a traditional ceremony. Margaret also worked with us individually to write our vows. By spending time getting to know us, she helped shape our feelings into the most beautiful words.
Margaret is warm, creative, knowledge and very professional in a relaxed way. I we renew our vows, we will definitely want Margaret to be our celebrant again.
Margaret is such a talented and thoughtful celebrant. She made our wedding ceremony unforgettable and gave us some amazing ideas, which just added so much to our day. All our guests commented on how much they loved our ceremony and how personal it was. Margaret took the time to get to know us both and told our story brilliantly. We were beyond thrilled with everything.
Thank you Margaret for giving an extra bit of sparkle to our day! Your kind, soft nature helped us feel comfortable sharing our story with you! Nothing was too much to ask with all the endless emails and changes that were made. You made our guests feel included, they were completely engaged in everything you said, you truly are one in a million and we are so grateful to have met you!
Margaret made our day incredibly special. We loved the meetings with her in the lead up to the day, she had a fun and engaging style which made it a great experience to chat through our journey as a couple. She had great ideas for the ceremony and on the day her speech was exactly the right level of funny, touching and personal to us as a couple. A lot of our guests stated that she was a real highlight of the wedding.
As a retired wedding photographer, I have attended many weddings. Margaret was the celebrant at my daughter's wedding. The ceremony was by far the most personal, touching, and amazing ceremony I have ever heard - not just because it was my daughters, but all their guests, thought so too. It was because Margaret really got to know my daughter and son-in-law. She had several one-to-one meetings with them, she listened and then put everything they told her into the most wonderful love story. She is a genuinely lovely lady, professional and caring. So, if you’re looking for a wedding celebrant with a very personal touch - look no further!
From our first meeting with Margaret, we knew that she was a cut above the rest of the celebrants we had spoken to. She was incredibly warm and welcoming but also clearly a professional and excellent at what she does. She made us feel at ease throughout the whole process of planning the ceremony. Not only did she make us feel secure, knowing that she was going to do a good job but she also brought ideas and experience that enhanced our ceremony beyond what we had hoped it would be. We’ve had numerous comments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed the ceremony that Margaret had put together and delivered.
I am H’s mother, so I thought I knew their story…..but the way The Gower Celebrant told it, was just incredible. It had just the right balance of all the emotions and the way that you weaved O’s speech and my reading into it was amazing. It honestly was the most perfect ceremony.
Your guidance and collaboration on the ceremony made us feel like a team and you created the most unique and intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends.
The day was incredible. Throughout the day people did not stop telling us how much they enjoyed the ceremony. A lot saying how it was the best ceremony they have ever been too. People were singing your praise! Asking about the process and saying how beautifully you tied everything together.
