Wendy [](https://www.easyweddings.com.au/reviews/user/1459189b-2d32-4531-88cc-697d943abf62/) February 2025 Show moreShow less Wendy is one of the most professional, organised and down to earth people we have met. From the very beginning she was always prepared with handouts and documents to assist us with creating the most meaningful ceremony. Wendy does not use a cookie cutter approach, everything was personalised and specific to what Sean and I were after. She came prepared with suggestions and was able to guide us along the way. Wendy was so humble and grounding for us. The knowledge and experience she possesses made Sean and I feel so comfortable right from the beginning. We had full faith from the beginning that Wendy would look after us well, and boy did she do that. We are so happy we found Wendy and would highly recommend her to friends and family. Thank you so much Wendy! You helped make our day so memorable.

In the pre-wedding consultations she provided so much enthusiasm, guidance with our ceremony, and with the vows. This was very helpful because initially we felt overwhelmed and couldn't envision how the ceremony would flow. At the same time, she emphasised the importance of us feeling comfortable and reminding us that the wedding was for us. On the day she was fantastic! She has a vibrant energy about her, and she rocked her pink blazer (at our request). Her wedding preparation, the couple quiz, was meaningful and makes us smile as we remember our answers. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thanks Wendy!
