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 & Ashley P, Feb 10

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 & Mark F, Febr 10

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 O, Jan 10

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 & Toni P, Tairua, Mar 09

Anke was the celebrant for our wedding on board a launch off the beach at Cathedral Cove, Hahei. 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 / not wish to include as part of our vows to each other and suggested including the children in the 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 & Cara D, Hamilton, Mar 09

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 fmily. Thank you again for a wonderful day,
Meghan & Blanton B, Hahei, Febr 09

We had Anke marry us 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 ensure it was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her on the highest terms to anyone.
James & Megan F, Cambridge, Jan 09

Als wir uns entschieden, in Neuseeland
Tausende von Kilometern von unserer Heimat entfernt zu heiraten, waren wir sehr unsicher, was uns erwarten wird. Doch bereits nach dem ersten Kontakt waren wir ueberzeugt, dass Anke fuer uns die beste "Marriage Celebrant" ist, welche wir uns vorstellen koennen. Anke hat unsere Hochzeitszeremonie am Strand von Pauanui zu einem wunderschoenen Ereignis gemacht. Es haette nicht besser sein koennen! Christine & Christoph Wittmer, (Switzerland) Dec 08
