What my couples Say.

  • Jacqueline & Kelvin. “Donna made my ceremony run so smoothly & seamless. She met with us beforehand to understand our vision for the day & perfectly executed it. Donna made us both feel comfortable & relaxed, even with all the nerves on the day. I couldn’t ask for a better celebrant for my wedding and will be forever grateful for the part she played on our perfect day.”

    Feeling the love: I truly can't express how happy I feel, reading these glowing comments Jacqueline. As my very first couple, Kelvin and you were, and still are endeared to me. Thank you for putting your faith in me and for being so easy to deal with, wishing you both the best of everything for your future together xx

  • Amy & Matt. “Donna was the perfect choice for our interstate elopement. Her support and communication throughout the process were exceptional, making it stress-free. Our low-key, intimate ceremony exceeded our expectations. Donna played a crucial role in making our special day a truly happy memory. We are incredibly grateful to have had her as our marriage celebrant.”

    Feeling the love: I really appreciate you taking the time to leave these kind words Amy, your ceremony was incredibly special and touching to be part of. Thanks for being so great to work with, also for allowing me the opportunity to be your celebrant, and be part of the memorable moments when Matt and you become Mr and Mrs.....and in such a spectacular spot! Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness xx

  • Jessica & Sean. “Firstly, not only did Donna make the initial process so seamless and stress free by getting all our legals done on time, she continuously took the time to check in, extending her support, providing expert advice and answering any questions we had along the way! During our elopement on Monday 19th June 2023, it was forecasted to rain. Before I could even begin to worry, Donna took it upon herself to go out early in the morning to go and get us some umbrellas! When we arrived everything was all set and ready to go, everything going to plan. When requested, it was no issue for Donna to include a hand fasting ceremony in our vows, which was really important to my husband and I to acknowledge his Celtic background. Donna went above and beyond for our special day and we couldn’t be more thankful! Highly recommend!”

    Feeling the love: A little shower, it wasn't, who could have believed that weather Jess? I'm glad that you guys were so in the moment and super chilled with your elopement, it made my job easy, to not let a mad weather change get in our way!! Thanks very much for your words of appreciation, and for choosing me to be part of your wedding dream team. It really was a memorable and intimate ceremony. Sean, yourself and your two fabulous friends, were great fun and it was an experience that was so special and will stay with me forever, wishing you every happiness in your future together xx

  • Joanne & Chris. “ My partner and I recently decided to elope, seeking an intimate and unforgettable experience to begin our journey together. After extensive research, we stumbled upon Married by Donna Claire. Little did we know our search for the perfect wedding service would end up being the perfect choice. We chose the venue, and nothing was a problem for her. A totally relaxing wedding that put us both at ease. It indeed was a great experience that we would highly recommend to anyone.”

  • Charlene & Michael. “Dear sweet Donna, I just wanted to reach out to let you know how grateful I am for the absolutely beautiful ceremony you did for us. Honestly, you are amazing.

  • Jorja & Luke. “Donna was amazing to work with, she made everything so easy and would always check in with us to make sure everything was going okay during the lead up to the big day.

  • Tash & Shannon. “Donna is incredible! We live interstate from where we were getting married, Donna was so accommodating to this and met with us several times via zoom - nothing was too much. Donna guided us through the entire process, answered every single question no matter how big or small & made so many beautiful suggestions for the ceremony. Donna organised to include some words from both our mothers in the ceremony as a surprise for us, helped choose a reading and put the ceremony together. We choose for our love story to be a surprise and it was so beautifully put together with many laughs added in. Nothing was too much. Donna attended our rehearsal and guided our entire bridal party, as well as answering all their questions. All our guests commented how amazing she was and how great the ceremony was, can't recommend her enough, so thankful.”

    Feeling the love: Thanks kindly Tash for such beautiful words, I found you and Shannon a pleasure to deal with and it felt like we were old friends, when we met! I'm so thankful that you chose me and that I helped make the process simple and delivered a ceremony that was everything that you wanted, the day presented some challenges to us and even so, it was such a perfect day. My very best wishes to you both, as you start this new chapter as newlyweds xx

  • Emmajean & Jason. “We decided to elope 5 weeks before our wedding. We can honestly say that we could not have done it without Donna. What an amazing person! In the lead up to our ceremony, Donna was extremely supportive, helpful and was communicating with us at all the right times. Donna took care of all the legals and added her special touch to the preparations. The ceremony itself was just perfect! A huge stand out to us was when our son, who has special needs wasn’t coping well with his emotions. Donna reached out her hand to hold Blaike’s s hand and calmed him instantly. We will always treasure that memory. Donna’s words captured the essence of our love story. It made our ceremony truely unique, soulful and an unforgettably beautiful experience. Thank you Donna for all the special moments. You have helped us to create magical memories that will be forever cherished.”

    Feeling the love: Thank you for your lovely comments Emma, I am very appreciative and so glad that you chose me, I feel privileged to have played such a special role in your beautiful and very intimate wedding day. I love that you guys didn't hesitate and were so onboard with everything that I suggested, once the decision to become Mrs and Mrs was made and it was just full steam ahead. I really loved meeting and getting to know yours and Jason's fabulous family and loved how welcomed I felt, by everyone....especially Blaike. Your journey so far has been amazing and I'm wishing you all the very best in this new chapter Mr and Mrs M, you both rock!!! xx
