Jessica-lee & Danial

Lovely Mary… where do I begin? When I started to organise our wedding I looked at a bunch of photos of Celebrants in a bridal book and I was so drawn to your photo I thought:- she’s the one for us! Sounds crazy, but I didn’t even bother contacting any other celebrants and as it turns out, my instinct was right! Your warmth, kindness and love of what you do was clearly evident and whilst you take what you do very seriously, you keep it all fun, light hearted and uncomplicated. Thank you so very much for creating such a beautiful ceremony for us and for all your suggestions. So many of our guests commented that it was THE BEST ceremony/wedding they had ever been to, that it was heartfelt, authentic and just beautiful. A big thank you to Mike, for also playing a big part in our day. What a great team you guys are. Seems so strange to think what an integral part you have played in our significant life event yet our paths may never cross again; here’s hoping that one day they do! Forever grateful, Love Bridgette, Ryan & girls

We cannot thank you enough Mary for making our wedding day extra special. The way you created a ceremony just perfect for us was more than what we could have asked for. Our guests all commented on what a beautiful, loving ceremony it was. We will definitely recommend your services to all our family and friends! Mary you definitely go above and beyond….Thank you!

Mary and Mike,

Thank you for making our Day amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding

Mary and Mike,

Thank you for making our Ceremony a memorable one. Mary, your professionalism and support made the journey a smooth road. We loved meeting you both.

Thank you so much for all your help on our special day. We were so lucky to have someone marry us who is so kind and genuine. The thought that you put into everything for us Mary was so beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with how the day went. We will remember it forever!

All our love,

Mary we are so deeply thankful for your time and efforts in making our Ceremony and Day so joyous and personalised. We deeply appreciate your time, guidance, understanding, and creative passion that made our Day so memorable. You exceeded both our expectations more than we could have imagined and loved the little things you even did made it that extra bit more special. We are grateful and feel touched by all you did. Many, many thanks from the new Mr and Mrs Mc!

We wanted to say a massive thank you as we are not long got back from our honeymoon. J & I were soo happy with the beautiful wedding ceremony you delivered. We tried as much as possible to savour every word but nerves do take over a little bit unfortunately. Thankfully you have provided us with a copy for keep sakes. We loved the little gifts. That’s so thoughtful of you. We really appreciate the time you spent on those special little touches. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and we couldn’t have been happier with how it went. We loved your warm and friendly personality and you’re sense of humour and would definitely recommend you to friends/family getting married.

We really want to express our extreme gratitude for helping to create the wedding of our dreams. You were the perfect choice for us, you understood our personalities and our relationship and you made our ceremony absolute perfection, even down to cutting out a few bits on the day, to avoid our guests fainting in the heat. I really can’t thank you enough for your talent, professionalism and creativity, you took the small amount of time we had available to get to know us and having you marry us, felt like you were a part of our family that we have known our whole lives. The extra touches you included, that we didn’t know about until the next day; were something that touched both of our hearts, and that we will hold onto for the rest of our lives. Our wedding day from start (after my nails were fixed J) to finish, was truly the best day of our lives and that ceremony, was done in a way that I (and none of our guests) have ever seen before. You are a star Mary Bruce and someone that we will, remember and cherish for the rest of our lives, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you xx

The best celebrant ever. Mary made our day more magical then we could have imagined. Absolutely beautiful lady and her roady/husband Mike does a great job with music . Our day was just so special and we are glad that they shared in our perfect wedding.

Wow! What an absolutely stunning ceremony you created for Luke and I (and of course Will!)

We could not have found a more suitable celebrant, all of your suggestions and ideas were amazing and perfect in creating a perfect ceremony!

We had so many lovely comments from family and friends who thought the ceremony was truly beautiful. So from the 3 of us – THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Mary was absolutely fantastic; she helped us create a perfect day. Would highly recommend.

Choosing your celebrant is one of the most important parts of your wedding day. We knew as soon as we met Mary that she was the right celebrant for us, she made sure every part of our ceremony was everything that WE wanted, and she made sure our daughter was part of it also. Our ceremony was very emotional and special and we have Mary to thank for it all. We can never thank you enough for all the work you did for us!

Thank you so much. Everyhone has commented on how beautiful the Ceremony was. You made it so special for our family.

October 2012

Ken and I just wanted to thank you and Mike for all your efforts in making our wedding ceremony so wonderful. We had so many guests come to us and tell us that it was the nicest ceremony they’d ever been to. Ken and I really felt that the ceremony reflected who we are as a couple and honestly, it was my absolute favourite part of the day. Thank-you for taking the time to get to know us and to understand what we wanted, as well as for all the little extra touches that made things so much easier

Mary Bruce is a very gifted Celebrant.

From our first meeting nothing was too much trouble & her inspired suggestions guided us very well through any difficult decisions. She was willing to make our every wish come true & her meticulous preparation made it so.
.
On the Wedding day every single guest was moved by her obvious sincerity, gentleness & personal commitment to both the ceremony & to us. It was an emotional, honest & loving day filled with laughter & joy.

Given the option, Mary stayed a while & mixed with everyone. She didn’t just rush off as if to say – ” My job’s done now so I am out of here”. In fact as an added thoughtful gesture as she was leaving she presented us with a gift & a beautifully decorated copy of our whole ceremony. How lovely!

I would be happy to recommend her to any person who is considering engaging a Celebrant as Mary is one of the really gracious people on this earth & would make your special day very special.
Yours Sincerely – Tricia Hubble

We felt so relaxed after first meeting you at your home – we felt like we knew you. Your fee was reasonable and you alwasy responded very quickly to any correspondence. You were so flexible when we had to arrange last minute meetings.You even asked what colour we would like you to wear for the Ceremony – that was very sweet. By the time our big day arrived we felt we really knew you. We were so impressed by your calming nature and professional approach during the entire process. Thank you for giving us such a special memory.

Noosa October 2012

I just wanted to thank you so very much for your service at Tracey and Al’s wedding on 5th October at Little Cove Beach Noosa.
One of our younger guests said to me on our boat cruise afterwards, that he normally never listens to the service, as they are all usually very boring. Not so yours, he listened to everything and complimented us on our choice of celebrant.

I loved the fact that everyone could hear clearly too, your PA system works well, and my enduring memory of our daughter’s day will always be the ceremony under the billowing canopy and your kind words.

Mary thank you so much for such a beautiful day!!! It was just amazing everything we could of hoped for!!
Everything was alwasy so organised – for myself this is so important and you did such a great job of keeping my stress levels down.
Everyone said how wonderful it was, and we were just so happy with everything. Thank you again. Would highly recommend.
Mary our Ceremony was AMAZING!
Love Alex and Sally xx

Thank you Mary so much for helping us with our wedding. She just made it a breeze for us. We would recommend Mary to anyone getting married. It was made so easy for us. The fact that we didn’t even live in Queensland shows how wonderful a help Mary was. We can’t express how thankful we are to have had Mary marry us. A beautiful, kind, caring, loving lady who made our day so very special. Meg and Phil Oct 2012.

Mary, Thank you for crafting such a magical, personal ceremony. You have been a delight to deal with from the moment we first spoke. The sincerity, heart and professionalism you displayed will never be forgotten. It is as though a life long friend guided us through this very special time in our lives.

Mitch and I could not believe how beautiful and light hearted our ceremony was. From day 1 you were warm, inviting and keen to make our wedding about us. The idea of the shells and us running to the beach will be remembered for a lifetime by us and our friends and family. My family were touched about their involvement. Thank you so much for making our day perfect.Mary made our day memorable for all. She always came up with unique ideas that capitalised on our sense of adventure and fun. Thank you for making our wedding something beautiful, soulful and most importantly fun! Leah and Mitch

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. You were everything we wanted and more! The ceremony you created for us was absolutely amazing. It was exactly what we wanted. I loved that you worked with us every step of the way to create the perfect ceremony. Every person I spoke to after our wedding commented on the very personal and heartfelt nature of our ceremony saying it was the most beautiful one they have ever had the pleasure of being part of. You have definitely found your calling!

Coolum Beach 2012

Thank you for being our celebrant and sharing such a special day with us. We have received so many comments on the amazing ceremony and how personalised it was. The day ran so smoothly and we weren’t anxious at all – probably due to the hours you spent with us preparing for the big day. Nick and Holly

Flaxton Gardens July 2011

I want to sincerely Thank You for the beautiful ceremony you prepared for Chris and Jenieka’s Wedding.
It was personal and gracious and very respectful of the solemnity of Marriage.

Thank you for including each of the parents in the giving of our children – as Jen’s mum, it meant a lot to me to have my parenting role acknowledged in such a powerful, touching way.

We also loved the opportunity to get everyone to hold the rings and say a special word or blessing over them – it connected everyone to the couple in their marriage in a significant way.

I also acknowledge he work you did with Jen and Chris in helping them to prepare not just for their day but also for their lives together. You certainly helped them to collect their thoughts and bring home the seriousness of the step they were taking.

You were also a source of strength and encouragement for them – a calming influence even when it refused to stop raining!

There were so many comments on how beautiful the ceremony was and many said it was the best wedding they had been too! Full credit to you!

Thank you for the way you presented the documents to them and the work (and love) you also put into their day.

You helped to make it very special – Thank you Mary, for your professionalism and your heart – you are certainly in the right job!
I know that you must do heaps of weddings, but you made ours feel like it was one of a kind!

“We both found Mary to be exceedingly pleasant and helpful in creating a ceremony that was truly our own. Mary also provided very personal and emotional support to us both at times when the stresses of planning our wedding became difficult for other reasons. She frequently reminded us that it was a happy event we were planning and that it was our day.”

Lake MacDonald Amphitheatre June 2011

We absolutely loved every little thing you did to help us create such a perfect ceremony for us. You are amazing!

26 March 2011 Clios Function Centre Palmwoods

Mary was professional yet warm and engaging right from our first meeting with her. Absolutely nothing was overlooked – her attention to detail and the support she provided lifted a lot of the usual wedding planning stress from our shoulders. The service she wrote for our ceremony was exclusively for us and was very moving. Many of our guests commented that she was the best celebrant they had ever seen and we agree.

Mary was a wonderful celebrant and played a huge part in making our special day exactly as we wanted it. In the lead up to the wedding she made us feel as though we were part of her family and was very efficient and yet relaxed enough to give us plenty of time to make decisions about how we wanted the day to go. In the end our wedding was about us and our family and Mary really contributed to making it a happy and successful celebration.

Hi Mary just want to say a big thank you for all you have done for our wedding It turned out better than we could have imagined. You are such a beautiful woman Mary inside and out. We are very blessed to have had you in our lives. We will be telling everyone who is thinking of getting married about the wonderful day you did for us. Please take care and all the best xxxooo Anthony ( Rebecca and Anthony)

I just wanted to say thank you for the very sensitive and thoughtful way you conducted B’s funeral. The family was really pleased you agreed to perform the ceremony which was a great celebration of her life.

You have a gift for this work and I am so glad you are supporting people in your community as they celebrate the life and mourn the death of a loved one. Your compassion overlayed with professionalism shows through very clearly.

Thank you Mary for a very moving funeral ceremony in remembrance of a wonderful woman,
