Testimonials

Dear Roz,

Eliza had a magical naming ceremony & everyone commented on how personal & lovely it was.  Everyone loved the script - especially the grandparents that were reading it!  The guardians loved their beautiful certificates & keepsake promises, & Ben and I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work in helping our day run so smoothly.  We will definitely be recommending you to our family & friends.

Kind regards

Tracey & Ben          

Naming Ceremony Script pack supplied.

A Naming Ceremony Script pack is an ideal choice if you have someone special in your family circle that would conduct your Naming Ceremony for you - often Grandparents love to be asked  to do this!   It's personalised, great quality and excellent value - very popular and highly recommended.

Hi Christine,

We have just got back from a lovely honeymoon and wanted to e-mail you to say a huge thank you for such a wonderful ceremony. Everyone who attended the wedding said how touching it was and what a good job you did.  The whole day feels like a bit of a blur to us both as it went so quickly, but we had a fantastic day.  Everyone appeared to be singing during the two songs, and the weather held out for us.  We couldn't have asked for a better day.  We will send you some photos of the ceremony when we have them.

Thanks again,  C & A - Lymington

Hi Ray and Roz,

Just wanted to send you some words of thanks for all the help and friendly advice you gave us during the months leading up to our wedding on August 26th, and how pleased we were with our wedding ceremony that Christine conducted for us.

Chris was so friendly and helpful and completely put us at our ease.  We really couldn't have asked for better.  The whole thing ran like clockwork and we had a wonderful day.

If we live long enough to renew our vows we will certainly come to you, and hopefully Chris will be our celebrant.

Our very best wishes to you all, C&J - Hythe

Hi Roz and Ray,

Thank you so much for conducting our Wedding Celebration Ceremony on Sunday 14th August at Elmers Court.  It was a beautiful ceremony which was personalised to make our non-English speaking Spanish family feel very welcome and part of our day. 

We found it a real pleasure to get to know you both in the months leading up to our day - the passion you have for what you do and for your clients really shines out.  What you did for us was amazing, we have watched the video back and it really was a fantastic ceremony. Thank you so much - it was a perfect day.

Many many thanks again for everything ...

Kind regards, L&J, Bristol

 Hi Ray and Roz,

Thank you so much for sharing in H's naming day, it was perfect - couldn't of asked for anything more for my little man.  The ceremony was beautifully laid out and included everything that we discussed.  Could not have been happier with the day that you planned and the attention to detail was just as I wished for.  I have sent you some photos of the day and hope you like them.

Many thanks again for the most fantastic day for my little man, we'll never forget it and can't wait to tell him all about it when he's old enough.

 Hi Roz,

The Naming Day was a wonderful day and went so smoothly.  Thank you so much, to both you and Ray, for your help and support in the organisation and running of the ceremony, it really was so appreciated.  We didn't really know what to expect of the day, but we were over the moon with how it went and had so many people comment to us how special it was.  We have so many wonderful memories to treasure.  We haven't received the official photos of the ceremony yet, although I'm hoping it won't be too much longer.  When I do I will send some to you.

Kind regards and thank you again,

Best wishes,

 Dear Ray - thank you for making our special moment so perfect.

We knew after speaking to Roz and talking to you that we were in experienced and safe hands.

I was nervous when I arrived at the venue, but after talking things through with you, the nerves went away and I could just focus on enjoying the occasion.

Every guest we spoke to commented on your pefect balance of gravitas and humour. You paced the ceremony with perfect timing that means we will remember every moment.

Thank you, Ray, for celebrating our union with such style - we couldn't have hoped for a more classy, joyful and inclusive ceremony.

Best regards - G & S

Dear Ray and Roz,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a wonderful ceremony last weekend. We had a perfect day and everyone really enjoyed the celebration and felt it was very personal and very special. You were great with both the children.

Thank you again for making it such a success and making it exactly as we wanted.

We will recommend you to any of our friends interested in doing an alternative to a christening! All the Godparents thought it was very relevant and very special ....
