We recently got married by Karina and she was absolutely amazing to work with! When we first met Karina we knew she was going to be able to prepare and deliver the perfect ceremony for us. She has a very approachable, warm and vibrant nature while still being very professional. She made the whole process so easy and enjoyable, even all of the legalities. She was able to get to know us as a couple in a short amount of time and could capture the essence of that in the ceremony. We both appreciated Karina’s flexibility with having our children be a part of our ceremony and how unpredictable that can be. We loved it, all of our guests loved it, and we would absolutely recommend Karina to anyone looking for a celebrant in the Hunter Valley. Thank you Karina, we will always remember our wedding day fondly with you being a key part in that 🤍 ~ Sarah & Dan
“Karina was incredibly organised and kept us on schedule leading up to the big day. She provided us with lots of options when choosing the elements of our ceremony and we really appreciated her help in putting our vows together while still keeping them personal to us. What we loved most was her ability to include our daughter in the ceremony in a way that felt natural and meaningful. Karina also went above and beyond by ensuring that all the little things were taken care of, such as organising our wedding certificate to be delivered to our door. Her attention to detail was truly outstanding and we felt completely confident in her professionalism and reliability throughout the entire planning process. She was excellent in every way and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personalised and meaningful wedding ceremony.” ~ Shani & Dean
It was such an amazing day and everyone said our celebrant did a great job. We got so many compliments on how great the ceremony was. Karina was so helpful along the way and made the day so special for us and our little girl Molly. Could not have asked for a better experience. ~ Jess & Blake
“I cannot recommend Karina as a celebrant enough! Literally 100/10!!! She is super organized and meticulous, which helped us not stress about the paperwork and legal matters, and was incredibly thoughtful, considerate and open-minded when working with us to craft our perfect and unique ceremony! Karina is super friendly and it was an absolute pleasure to be married by her! I would recommend her as a celebrant EVERY time!!!”
~ Steph & Robbie
“Karina was an absolute dream to have as part of our wedding team from signing initial paperwork to creating our perfect ceremony! She made us feel comfortable and relaxed the whole way along and on the day our family and friends could not sing her praises highly enough as the environment that she fostered for us and our guests was absolute perfection! Karina was especially talented at making our ceremony script very personal to our love story, she really took the time to get to know us (even in a very short 4 week turn around!!) and that showed clearly in the words she prepared for our special day We can’t thank and recommend her enough! ~ The Tamblyns xx”
Karina was absolutely wonderful leading up to and on our special day. We had a FaceTime for our initial meet and I felt so comfortable speaking with her and she was so easy to trust. Leading up to our special day we met with Karina twice and she was so lovely to be around. She went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony would be exactly how we wanted it to be and she even suggested the most beautiful way for our son and daughter to be more involved in our ceremony and I could not thank her enough for this as we will always treasure this memory and the keepsake certificate forever. She was so organised and professional during our ceremony and everything went exactly to plan and I am so happy! I believe we found Karina for a reason ♥️ and we will always be so thankful for her! Highly recommend Karina to any Bride and Groom thinking about booking her for their special day! 10/10 perfect!
Thank you Karina 💜 ~ Laura and Chris
Being together 12 years and a couple of Covid cancellations, we just wanted a simple, no-fuss ceremony so we could finally get married. Karina made the process so easy. Her care and thoughtful presentation made our ceremony just how we wanted it. Throughout, Karina was friendly, personable and such a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend Karina!

Karina’s ability to organise and create a harmonious flow made the day truly exceptional. Karina’s accommodation and attention to detail ensured a memorable and culturally rich experience for everyone involved. We highly recommend her for a perfect balance of tradition and creativity We can’t thank you enough for making our dreams a reality!” ~Jasmine and Michael
We were extremely happy with Karina as our celebrant. So easy going, but also so organised and efficient. Karina checked in with both of us multiple times along the way and helped with our vows. She made us both feel very comfortable, the ceremony flowed easily and she created a very relaxed atmosphere. We would highly recommend Karina to anyone! A beautiful calm and friendly energy to have run the most important part of our special day. ~Eliza and Nick
