Celebrant Reviews

Celebrant reviews

Celebrant reviews are an essential resource that provide insight into the quality of service, professionalism, and personal touch offered by a celebrant.

When it comes to choosing a celebrant for your wedding, nothing speaks louder than the positive experiences of other couples.

These reviews from happily married brides and grooms are an invaluable gauge of a celebrant’s ability to create a unique and memorable ceremony. By considering them, you can make an informed decision and ensure that your wedding ceremony is in the hands of a trusted and highly recommended professional.

In addition, celebrant reviews, written by past couples, are particularly heartwarming compliments to consider, and when booking them first, they can recommend additional suppliers they have worked with and can vouch for.

I am immensely grateful to receive lovely letters, emails, and messages of thanks from the couples I have had the honor of declaring married. Below are some celebrant reviews that are too beautiful not to share.

A sincere thank you to all my couples for their kind words and for allowing me to showcase them here. Additionally, you can find a wide variety of celebrant reviews on Facebook Facebook and Google if you would like to explore further.

Hannah + Mark's wedding at Leventine Estate

"We were so so happy we chose Meriki to be our celebrant. Meriki is extremely professional and is excellent at what she does. We wanted a celebrant who would guide us through the process and creating our perfect ceremony but also take any stress out of planning and executing our big day and Meriki delivered. Meriki made the whole process so easy for us, guided us every step of the way, was very responsive, organised and professional in her correspondence and followed up where necessary to ensure everything was ready to go. It meant that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted yet felt SO easy to achieve. Meriki is very warm and inviting in her style and wrote and delivered the ceremony like an absolute pro. Our team of Vendors were also very pleased about the opportunity to work with Meriki. We would highly recommend Meriki :)

Getting married with melbourne celebrant Meriki Comito

"When we first met Meriki, we knew she was going to be able to prepare and deliver the perfect ceremony for us. She has a very approachable, warm and vibrant nature while still being very professional and made the whole process so easy and enjoyable, even all the administrative bits. We aren't the type of couple to pour our hearts out and wanted a light-hearted and fun ceremony with both conventional and non-conventional elements. Meriki fully embraced that, helping us to find the perfect mix and to construct a ceremony we were both proud of and excited for. She was able to get to know us as a couple in a short amount of time and could capture the essence of that in the ceremony. We loved it, all our guests loved it, and we would absolutely recommend Meriki to anyone looking for a celebrant in Melbourne."

HI Meriki,
We both just wanted to say a huge thank you for being our celebrant for our wedding. We are so glad to have met you and for you to officiate our wedding. It wasn't only on the wedding day but I also want to personally say thank you for helping me with the administrative process prior to our wedding, when it was a very stressful time. You helped me navigate that so well and I will always be grateful for that.
There were so many guests that commented on how well you spoke and how lovely the ceremony was. I'm sure you hear that a lot but I just needed to pass the message onto you.
I will always remember our wedding day fondly with you being a key part in that. I look out for any engaged couples around me and will highly recommend your celebrant service.
Thank you for doing what you do. You have made our wedding day very special.

"Meriki is so kind, funny and professional.
She guided us through what a ceremony entails and how we can make it personal and reflective of our relationship, while also making sure we ticked all the legal boxes. She then wrote the most incredible ceremony, and presented it with sophistication and warmth, bringing smiles to our faces and tears to our eyes. From our first meet and greet, our zoom run through and to the final moment, Meriki had us enjoying every minute of getting married. We went from a wedding of 180 guests to only 21 due to COVID, and Meriki made sure our intimate gathering feet even more special.
We are to grateful, thank you Meriki for making our day one to remember."

"Where do we begin... Meriki was beyond incredible, from the moment we first met her to when we said “I do.” Meriki was so warm, bubbly, full of helpful tips and made the whole process absolutely seamless. She was able to tailor our ceremony to fit our personalities perfectly, which just made our day even more than we could have dreamt of. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our ceremony was. We can’t thank Meriki enough for supporting us, creating a ceremony which exceeded our expectations, making our guests laugh and feel the warm and fuzzies. We wish we could do it all again the exact same way."

She was warm, professional and a perfectionist - all qualities you want for the most important part of your wedding day. Meriki made the process very easy and made our day special.

"We can't recommend Meriki enough! From the moment we met her, she was exactly what we wanted - warm, funny, engaging, and organised. We loved how she wanted to make everyone feel involved in the ceremony, and how everything was written up well in advance so we knew exactly what would be said on the day. There were so many little helpful bits and pieces she provided along the way, like sample readings, vows, draft scripts and general advice. When the day came, everything went perfectly - Meriki put us both at ease and we had so much fun going through the ceremony, which should be the point of it! So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night and commented on how wonderful and warming Meriki was, we honestly couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you so much Meriki, you were truly amazing."

"Meriki was truly amazing.
Both ourselves and our guests could not fault her.
She was the perfect host for our garden ceremony and made the whole experience so joyful, uplifting, ethereal and unique. Meriki was personable, and wonderful to deal with from the beginning. She took the time to really get to know us and it was always so easy and natural. She seem to really enjoy the process with us as well, always being enthusiastic and genuine. We loved sharing the joy of our special day with Meriki, choosing her for our wedding was the best decision we made about the day. Since our wedding we’ve had many guests contact us about our ceremony sating things like 'perfect amount of lightness and humour but still making it feel so special and significant'.
We honestly can’t fault her, she left us wishing to relive our ceremony over and over."

Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding celebrations. We were keen to have a ceremony that was warm, elegant and personalised to us - and that is exactly what you helped us to achieve!
Your guidance in the lead up was also much appreciated - we had no idea what we were in for when we decided to get married in 2020! Your calm expertise was a real comfort as we navigated changes to our plans. The day was just perfect and we are so grateful to have been able to celebrate our love in front of our family and friends.
PS. All the guests thought you were wonderful too!

"We found Meriki through a word of mouth referral.
'We attended a wedding recently and the best thing about the wedding was the celebrant!!!', said my now husband's cousins. Boy, they were not wrong!
We have received so many compliments about how beautiful the ceremony was, all thanks to Meriki who was an outstanding celebrant. She has the ability to keep everyone engaged with her unique style and story telling and the uncanny ability to read the audience really well.
Our ceremony was the perfect blend of the story, the formalities (I do's) and laughs.
We will cherish this moment and the memories forever.
Thank you, Meriki! If only Facebook had a 'outstanding' and 'beyond expectations' rating!"

We received so many compliments on our ceremony, which Meriki ran with perfection. Even the little touches were taken care of, for example having the reading placed on a lovely little card so it looked nice in photos - Meriki had it all sorted.
We can’t recommend her enough, and thank you Meriki for helping make our day so magical xx"

"Meriki was absolutely amazing! When deciding on a celebrant for our special day we wanted someone who we could easily connect with and make us feel really comfortable. Upon meeting Meriki, we instantly knew we'd made the right choice. Her infectious smile and warming nature was paired perfectly with her professionalism and quality experience as a celebrant.
Meriki metaphorically took our hand and guided us seamlessly through all the steps we needed to complete and was always very prompt with replying to emails and our silly questions :)
On our big day, she effortlessly conducted a perfect ceremony for us, for which we are eternally grateful. It was such a happy day for us and Meriki's fun and professional attitude made it super easy for us to be ourselves. Our ceremony was a great mix of love and laughter and our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.
Meriki, we give you the highest recommendation possible.
Thank you so much for everything."

Planning our ceremony with you was an absolute joy and knowing that you had every detail covered made it completely stress free. On the day of the wedding, you were there for us not only as our celebrant, but also a friend, who we felt completely supported by. Our ceremony was just wonderful, and very emotional to say the least! It was you who was able to keep us on track and keep the perfect balance of tears and laughter. Our perfect ceremony wouldn’t have been what it was without you and for this we will always be so grateful. Thank you for everything Meriki, you will always have a special place in our hearts."

She made the whole process fun, easy, and stress free - we felt very well prepared which was hugely reassuring at a time when so many aspects of wedding planning required our attention. Everything was perfect on the day and we really felt the ceremony reflected us as a couple. She is also somewhat of a wedding guru and gave us lots of additional tips from bouquet holding techniques to how to properly attach a flower to a blazer! We would have been lost without her, and highly recommend her!"

Meriki, made it feel as though she had known us for years, her skills as a celebrant are truly fantastic. Not only this but she is a genuine and lovely person.

"Words cannot express the delight you brought to our special day.
Your professionalism, passion and love for what you do shined throughout our ceremony. When we first met you, you were able to make us feel instantaneously. James and I got in the car and very casually said “yeah, we’re picking her”. Throughout the whole process, you made our wedding, OUR wedding. It was nothing like anybody else’s ceremony because it was individualised. You were able to guide us throughout the process and make it enjoyable. You took needless stress away, which helped so much on the day. You always stayed in contact with us, which was comforting to know that we weren’t just another job to you. Most importantly, the feedback we received about you from our guests was overwhelming. Never had I been to a wedding where people took note of this in such a positive way. That says it all, really.
Thank you for everything you’ve done. We will HIGHLY recommend you to anyone who asks."

“Meriki was excellent from the get go.
At our first meeting we both left knowing that Meriki was the person we wanted to perform our ceremony, as she is as much a top person as she is a top celebrant.
She put us at ease, was always there to offer advice, and provided us with loads of advice and insight into how to construct vows and include some aspects of my Irish heritage into the ceremony.
Meriki’s passion towards making a ceremony personal is exactly what any couple would want, and this passion came through in the ceremony that we had.
I have received so many comments from wedding guests, even weeks after the wedding, of how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how personal and special it was. This was down to Meriki and the ceremony that she put together for us, as well the way she delivered it on the day.
Both Lyndsey and I are so grateful for everything. We could not recommend her more.”

"Thank you, Meriki, for marrying us in exactly the way we wanted.
You listened to our story and put it together so perfectly. We are so impressed with your effort.
From our very first meeting to after you have pronounced us as husband and wife, you went above and beyond your duty to help. It’s obvious that you are extremely experienced in what you do but what’s more evident is that you really cared about your craft. Your passion, attention to detail, joy and positivity gave us confidence in leaving absolutely everything in your hands. And did you deliver! Our ceremony was filled with laughs and happy tears from everyone.
Thank you again Meriki, specially for accommodating last minute changes.
Superb! 11 out of 10!"

"My new husband Ben and I would like to sincerely thank Meriki for her very professional, warm and enthusiastic support as our marriage celebrant in February 2017. Her organised, sensitive approach means we have no hesitation recommending her for any couple or ceremony.
From our very first meeting Meriki listened to and guided us brilliantly - we walked away with lots of ideas and resources and knew what we needed to start planning. Meriki also set us at ease by listening to everything we wanted, clearly communicated the process, and showed that she completely understood how to handle the plans and crowd for the big day. As well as being completely efficient and reliable, she always appreciated the importance, excitement and fun of preparing for marriage.
Because of the way our ceremony had been planned, on our wedding day we felt relaxed and yet able to fully experience the emotions of the special moments. We have also received an overwhelming number of compliments from family and friends about how beautiful our ceremony was.
Thank you Meriki!"

So many of our guests commented how ours was the best wedding they’d been to. They said how you truly captured the essence of who we are in the most natural way, and we cannot agree more.

From the moment we met to dicuss our wedding to the rehearsal even to now after… we knew you were the right person for us…we loved your organisation and attention to detail, all with the warmth of a dear friend. Organising a wedding from two states away also could have been problematic but with your level of care and consideration for every detail… you made it a breeze for us. We are forever grateful for the preparation which you took in creating such a personalised ceromony. It is so clear how much you love what you do and that passion comes through in every inch of your work. We are so lucky to have found you.

Meriki, you honestly are the best celebrant we could’ve had to officiate our ceremony. You made us feel relaxed and so comfortable that the whole ceremony was able to flow so naturally. I cannot begin to tell you how much our friends and family adored you and thought the ceremony was the absolute highlight of the day, as did we of course! We even had a couple at our wedding that are getting married with a priest next year in feb, who are honestly considering a celebrant now after witnessing our ceremony with you. A lot of our guests commented on the fact that they loved hearing about our journey as a couple and really felt the love and happiness between us on the day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every part of the journey shared with you."

"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how happy we are with the fantastic service you held.
It has been discussed many times since the wedding and I have already passed on your details to at least 3 other couples planing their big day. The one question I keep getting asked is “your celebrant!….where did you find that gem?” I’m sure its not too often that the celebrant is really noticed, let along commented on. We received comment after comment on your professionalism, class, humour and above all your ability to pick up on our ‘feel” for the day and run with it. I had several female guests comment on your choice of outfit (to fit in with the setting) and note how refreshing it was to have a young female celebrant with just the right amount of authority. So thank you again, you fitted in perfectly and made the process simple and enjoyable from start to finish."

After deciding we wanted to have a surprise wedding it was very important to us that we found a celebrant who was going to enjoy this exciting process as much as we would. We wanted someone whom we could laugh with, cry with and share in what would be the next chapter of our lives. You delivered all this and more! You made us feel so comfortable and excited, we knew from our first meeting we had found the perfect celebrant. We enjoyed many laughs with you and felt like we had known you for years! Your attention to detail was impeccable, no job was too big or small and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. You always promptly replied to emails, returned phone calls, and made sure we had all the paperwork required for the legalities to run smoothly. You are one of a kind and we would highly recommend you to anyone without hesitation. We are so glad we found you and can’t thank you enough for making our day nothing other than perfect!

You have a very calming presence and from the first time we met, we knew it was easy to trust you with such an important task – conducting the most important day of our lives. When my dad made his speech at the reception, he made sure to thank you (despite you not being there) and the reaction from our guests was one to remember. They broke out into a loud applause, so we know they agree with us that you were absolutely fantastic. Thanks again Meriki."

The biggest compliment of all is that we now have people who attended the wedding requesting your service and have no hesitation in continuing to recommend you.

So with all our heart thank you, you helped make it the most perfect day we could imagine."

Our meetings were always enjoyable, which made it much easier for us to relax and open up to you about our relationship. The day was absolute magic and we are so happy with the final product which was our wedding ceremony. We have had so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was, and guests kept commenting how fantastic you were. We are so proud that we were able to have a ceremony that reflected us and our relationship, and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!! We hope that you were able to enjoy our day as much as we did, thank you for your help, your patience, and most of all your friendship."

"The moment we met Meriki we were blown away with her warmth; which is such a crucial element for a celebrant!
But beyond this, we felt so assured by her organisation (she was extremely thorough in her preparation/getting to know us/planning our ceremony). On the day her ability to balance her friendliness and genuine love for her job with the important elements of managing the crowd and making sure the ceremony runs as smoothly as possible, was pretty damn awesome.
Thank you so much Meriki, without you, our ceremony wouldn’t of been the same.
What can I say – you were absolutely incredible. Everything we could of asked for. We had SO many people say you were the highlight of the wedding and we couldn’t agree more. There are so many things we could compliment you on, your warmth, your professionalism, your skill.
YAY we’re married!!!!!"

"We booked you before we’d even met you after reading your numerous glowing testimonials.
We are so glad we did! We had so many guests tell us it was the best ceremony they’d ever been to. A few had wished their ceremony was like ours when they got married! Everyone loved how unique and personal it was. Your ability to keep 8 flower girls and page boys attention at rehearsal was truly amazing! The ceremony was such an effortless process with your guidance. You are a true professional and were so lovely to work with. We would highly recommend you to everyone.
I also have to share with you what my friend said about you. She said she has been to a lot of weddings and has seen a lot of celebrants. You are the best she has ever seen. She said you were lovely and that she could tell you genuinely love being a celebrant.
Its not a job for you. It’s a vocation. Thanks Meriki"

"Thank you Meriki for conducting a wonderful ceremony. Shaun and I loved every minute of it!
The rehearsal was very helpful and your guidance was much appreciated. Several bridesmaids commented on this, as in their experience other celebrants had not provided such detailed directions. You were well organised and made our planning process a breeze – this was important to us as we were planning our wedding from London! I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends!!
Thanks again for helping us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives!"

"Having Meriki as our celebrant was like having a close friend marry us.
Meriki took so much time getting to know us and our story, and it showed! Our guests raved about how personal and unique the ceremony was and how professional and organised Meriki was. Meriki, the ceremony is after all the most important part of the wedding and your dedication and general loveliness made it the absolute favourite part of our day! I cannot recommend Meriki highly enough as a celebrant and hope many more couples have the luck to have Meriki as their celebrant!"

Every meeting with you was a pleasure and your kind nature, fun personality and sense of humour made the preparation process fun as well. You wrote our “story” beautifully and we loved how flexible & patient you were when we were writing our ceremony with you. You conducted our ceremony effortlessly and with such warmth. All of our guests commented on how warm you were and how well you presented the ceremony. We would recommend you to anyone. Our warmest thanks."

"From the first moment we met Meriki we knew that we wanted her to be our celebrant.
At our subsequent meetings we felt like we'd known her for years!
Meriki did a great job preparing our ceremony for us and we were given plenty of sample ceremonies/vows etc. to read through to make sure we chose what was right for us.
Our ceremony was perfect. Meriki was very professional and set the perfect atmosphere on the day. She even provided a special treat for the children involved in our ceremony and our friends loved that our ceremony included the story of our relationship from the very beginning.
Meriki exceeded our expectations - we really couldn't have asked for any more."

"Finding you was like finding a real treasure Meriki!
From the moment we met you we felt a true connection and had no doubt that you would perform a truly memorable & meaningful service for us. Your infectious smile, cheerful manner and friendly disposition made it feel as though it was a dear friend officiating at our wedding, rather than a stranger found online. Your understated presence ensured that the focus was on the two of us. We have been to other weddings where we felt that the celebrant dominated the ceremony to the detriment of the bride & groom. This was certainly not the case with you! Several guests commented positively on how lovely you were and how you conducted a touching & truly moving ceremony.
We were thrilled! Thank you so much!!"

"Thank you Meriki for being an organised, energetic and experienced celebrant who was able to guide us to a successful wedding ceremony.
Meriki was the right balance of presenting ideas to make a wonderful and intimate celebration, but not pushy if we elected to add or omit anything suggested. We also traveled from Sydney so coordinated some of the details on Skype and email, Meriki was always very responsive and accommodating. We had a wonderful ceremony and wouldn’t have done it with anyone else standing up there with us. Thanks Meriki and all the very best."

"As a professional wedding photographer with over nine years experience, I have worked with a vast array of marriage celebrants. These have ranged from the good, the abysmal, the inexperienced, the jaded, the professional and every so often, the outstanding. Meriki Comito falls into this last category and is by far, one of the most outstanding marriage celebrants I have come across. Polished and professional, friendly, articulate and prepared, I was very impressed with the way she handled the ceremony, the clients and their guests. I would also note that her P.A. systems worked perfectly with no distortion, feedback or poor signal from the radio microphone. This is rarer than you would expect! In short, I have no hesitation in giving Meriki my professional endorsement and recommending her to any person who is getting married."

We really did enjoy the wedding day and your warmth, whilst being totally in control was just perfect for us. Great dress too – fitted in perfectly with the Gallery – You rocked it!

"….there was no need for words, the expressions on their faces told me everything.
They were glowing – the air was thick with superlatives – and every sentence began with ‘Meriki’.
You had certainly made a very positive and lasting impression on many people that afternoon. Norma and Dianne, join me in saying thank you for creating such a memorable day. We all felt your professionalism and attention to detail were absolutely extraordinary.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with you during the planning stages of the ‘celebration’ and take this opportunity to thank you again for the time and trouble you put into accommodating our every wish."
