We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Alison. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to get to know us so she could create a ceremony that truly reflected who we are.

The ceremony itself was absolutely amazing—warm, personal, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered. It was everything we had hoped for and more. So many of our family and friends commented afterwards on how lovely and meaningful it was.

Both myself and Mark are incredibly grateful to Alison for helping make our wedding day so special. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference, and we’ll always cherish the memories she helped create.

We would recommend Alison without hesitation to anyone looking for a celebrant who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable. Thank you so much, Alison!

Mark & Ion

Alison was our celebrant for our wonderful husband and dad’s recent funeral and we cannot recommend her services enough. We wanted a humanist celebrant as we are not a religious family, Alison was thorough and sincere, helping us to deliver a warm and accurate portrayal of our Dad on such an important day for us.

Thanks to Alison’s gentle questioning and her clear understanding of grief and family dynamics, she helped make a very difficult time much easier for us, it was a very special service.

Thank you Alison.

Thank you for yesterday, the service was beautiful.  Some of the guests commented on how lovely and personal it was.

I am sorry you were not invited to the wake for a drink and a bite to eat, I thought Chris had invited you, and he thought that I had, so apologies.

We all came back to our house for the traditional fish and chips in honour of Vera.  It was a lovely day albeit a sad one.  Thank you again.

Deb and Chris

You did a great job with what morsels of information we could provide you with, everyone I spoke with after the service we’re very highly complimentary of the way you conducted the service. Thanks once again.

Dave

I would like to thank you very much for taking Tony’s funeral service in the way that you did. It was felt that you hit the right notes, sympathetic without being over the top with your comments.

Personally I  thought that it all went very well and you did Tony justice. There was nothing about the service that could have been altered. Thanking you once again.

Carole Welding

Thank you for a wonderful service to celebrate Jeans life. The service was conducted in a very professional way, but at the same time with love, kindness and compassion. Thank you for taking the time to speak to myself, Simon and Melanie to get a good understanding of Jean; and thank you for addressing my numerous amendments to the draft copy. Upon reading it I realised I had mis- remembered certain things which I wanted to correct and also remembered things I had not told you upon our first meeting. I wanted everything to be perfect, not just for myself, Simon and Melanie but also for Margaret and Sandra; both of whom had nothing but praise for the way the service was conducted, and overjoyed by the memories of her childhood to which they could fully relate.

Rob

Thank you for today. The service was beautiful and truly captured my dad’s essence. It was a celebration of his life and a fitting end to his journey. Our mini wake at subway, dad would have loved it! We were all stuffed after it. It also gave us time to reminisce about him too. Also I would like to thank you for my mom’s service. That too was beautiful. I have to say the service you have provided us with has helped us with the healing process. Your care and time to get to know us as family didn’t go a miss. Family and friends commented how engaging the service was. 100% recommended your services to people dealing with loss.

Rachel, David and Joel

I just wanted to say how grateful we are for everything you did on Friday. The service was exactly what we had hoped for—warm, respectful, and a true reflection of Dad’s life. You made a very difficult day much easier for all of us, and so many people commented on how beautifully it was conducted.

We really appreciated the time and care you took to get to know Dad’s story and present it in such a thoughtful and personal way. It meant a great deal to our family.

In terms of feedback, I honestly can’t think of anything that could have been improved. You were supportive, professional, and compassionate throughout the entire process.

Thank you again for helping us give Dad such a meaningful farewell.

Melissa

On behalf of mum and the rest of the family I wanted to say thank you for the absolutely exceptional job you have done for us and most importantly Tony. In a very short time you captured the essence of him and delivered the service beautifully. Mum is delighted and feels it could not have gone any better. There were many family members watching, including my nieces  and nephew and cousins who have all said what a lovely service it was, and a splendid tribute to him. I meant to say at the time (and mum mentioned it too) what a brilliant touch to have the cricket stumps in place of a photo.

Thanks again Alison, you have been brilliant from start to finish.

Lindsey

We just wanted to say how grateful we were to you for capturing my uncles life and delivering it so well. You were professional, warm and it came across like you actually knew him even though you had never met. We were very pleased with the service you provided to us and would definitely recommend you to others. 

Laura Taylor

You were absolutely fantastic so friendly and caring you got everything right and when I asked to take people out and add others you did exactly as I asked. Everyone said how nice you were and what a lovely service it was. Thank you so much Alison you were great.

Jackie

As disappointing as this may seem, I don’t have any negatives to offer for you to work on.  Our initial meeting at Doug’s house started with my trepidation of devolving speaking responsibilities to someone outside the family, but a couple of hours later it was replaced with absolute confidence in you as it was clear you were both thorough in your quest to gain as much research material as possible, and also evidently passionate about your role.

On the day itself, you brought a warmth and sense of ease to the proceedings that struck the perfect balance between solemnity and mournful respect for our Dad’s passing, whilst at the same time a sense of celebration for a life well lived.

We appreciate that your busy programme meant you weren’t able to attend the wake, but it should please you to know that Doug and I received nothing but positive comments about you, your amiability and the service you delivered.

Doug, I and the rest of our family are extremely grateful to you for ensuring such an important day for us went so perfectly, especially as there was never an option for a second take.

Should you ever need a formal recommendation then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Eric

We can’t thank you enough for the care, empathy and thought you gave to the tribute. 

During those first few days it’s difficult for a family to really gather their thoughts and put into words how best to reflect on someone’s life. 

Your patience, guidance and caring approach made it so much easier. Just checking in, keeping us updated on the process and helping us make the right choices was really appreciated. 

Your kindness and service to our family was second to none.

Thank you

Jo & Ian

I don’t think we will be much help if you are looking for constructive criticism. We all thought you were brilliant. 

People who came to the service thought you were brilliant and got dad to a tee.

From the 1st meeting (that we were all kind of dreading) it was like chatting to a friend and the time honestly flew. You are exactly the person we needed for the service and we can’t thank you enough.

 You will be great going forward as I think you really get what people want.

 A personal thank you from me, the little bit of comfort while I was reading my dads tribute helped me massively to get through it.

Thank you again and the best of luck going forward, we will definitely recommend you to others and use you again (although hopefully no time soon, if you know what I mean)
