When Sean and I discussed our wedding we agreed quickly that we wanted something simple, intimate and romantic… oh and just us. This made selecting a celebrant even more stressful, after all they would be one of a select few we would share our wedding day with. Get it wrong and it would ruin the moment!

Being in my 30s and Sean in his 40s we’d been to our fair share of weddings, naming days etc and so we had a clear idea of what we didn’t want in a celebrant. More than someone who just led us through the motions or bored us to tears with a long scripted eulogy on love with their nose buried in a book, we wanted someone who could reflect on the beauty of marriage with emotion and authenticity whilst being down to earth and fun – basically an eloquent mate. Josh was all of this and so much more. He spoke from the heart, he was natural and real.

It is clear Josh takes huge joy in what he does and helping you create a ceremony that is authentic to you is at the heart of it. Josh encouraged us to write our own vows, something I had always been keen to do but Sean was definitely not so sure. Something Josh said to Sean really resonated for us – ‘Just remember, if you’re not saying your own words you’re saying someone else’s.’ I know Sean found it difficult putting what he wanted to say in his own words, but it really made our ceremony so incredibly romantic and personal.

Josh is a fun and refreshing celebrant who brought his heart and soul to our wedding-for-two as comfortably as I’m sure he could for a wedding with 200 guests. He’s incredibly intuitive and eager to fit in with your ideas and dreams for your day. He’s someone who most certainly adds to the magic and takes nothing away!

We cannot recommend him more highly. You will never regret choosing him!
