Some lovely words from people who have seen me write, deliver ceremonies, hold a room and care for the people at the heart of it.
As Iris & Sun Ceremonies grows, this little collection will grow too, with words from couples, families and communities whose stories I’ve had the privilege of celebrating.
From people who have seen me work
Jan is not only an amazing celebrant, but it’s really clear how deeply she cared about her couples and telling their story in the most beautiful way possible! She has a real poetic way with words and she beams with warmth and light; booking with her will ensure there won’t be a dry eye in the room! I 100% recommend Jan for any couples looking for a sentimental, heartfelt and caring ceremony for their special days!
From the moment she arrived, Jan made a point of introducing herself to every wedding supplier, instantly making everyone feel welcome. She has such a warm, genuine nature, and her kindness shines through in every interaction. The ceremony she officiated was beautiful, heartfelt and incredibly personal. She spoke from the heart and it brought a tear to my eye. If I were ever to renew my wedding vows, there would be no question, I would choose Jan to officiate them.
Working as a professional makeup artist I have crossed paths with many celebrants who have popped in to see the bride prior to the ceremony. When I first met Jan I found her to have a very calm presence. Extremely articulate, charming and a great sense of humour. It was obvious she had taken the time to get to know the couple’s back story and injected her passion and sentiment into her delivery. I would recommend Iris & Sun Ceremonies unreservedly.
Your passion and positive energy was evident throughout our time together and you jumped into nailing this celebrancy gig all the way. It’s one thing to want to succeed, but Jan, you put in the WORK! Your determination to succeed at every stage. Seriously inspiring!!
You have a vibrant and natural way of story-telling that people want to hear more. Your natural warmth and the way you connect with people is just gold in our world of celebrancy.
I’m not just saying this – I’m genuinely excited about what the future holds for you. You’re going to thrive and make the most beautiful impact.
From People Who Know Me Well
Some of the loveliest encouragement I received when I decided to become a celebrant came from people who worked alongside me for years.
They knew me long before Iris & Sun Ceremonies existed, so their words meant a lot. Here are just a few:
There is no one better to bring warmth and joy to a special day.
Caring, empathetic, and a genuine ray of sunshine. These qualities alone tell me you’re going to be an extraordinary celebrant, someone who can hold space for people’s biggest moments with warmth, sincerity, and genuine care.
I can totally see why you have chosen the path as a celebrant. It suits you. You are always so positive, full of encouragement and support, love life, love people and are a joy to be around.
I worked with Jan for several years. She is an absolute joy to be around. She is kind, considerate and I would totally recommend her to be your celebrant for such an important event in your life. She brings a special, personal touch to everything she does.
Could your story be next?
If you’re planning a ceremony and think we might be a good fit, I’d love to hear what you have in mind!
You don’t need to have it all figured out. We can start with a message and take it from there.
