    Gitte wonderfully coordinated a wide diversity of inputs in the life celebration of my friend Charm. A ceremony planned with many viewpoints, organised by friends, inclusive of family wishes, with religious and non-religious aspects and a Zimbabwean perspective too. It was a wonderful service and fitting tribute, much appreciated by the 100 attendees. It would have been challenging, to say the least, to coordinate this without the guidance of a professional. I would wholeharteadly recommend Gitte's services, to bring together a fitting event, in my case, at a challenging time. Thank you Gitte!

    Really professional and personal service, Gitte took a lot of time to understand what we wanted and to get to know our loved one. The service itself was perfect and managed so well by the team on the day. Couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks again so much

    Gitte held our hand as we worked with her to find a way to honour my Mother. The process and the event were so thoughtful and throughout she was supportive, working with us gently to make a restpectful and authentic celebration that we were so happy with.

    From the moment I met Gitte I knew she was going to be a wonderful celebrant to conduct my brother's ceremony. She was kind, warm, compassionate and supportive throughout the whole process and there was excellent communication and quick responses to any queries or concerns I had. On the day, she conducted the ceremony with warmth, compassion, some gentle humour which helped everyone relax as we said our farewells to my dear brother Julian. She made the day go as well as it could and I will be forever grateful to her. Thank you Gitte X

    Gitte is an incredible human being and celebrant. She's warm, supportive, has a beautiful energy, an amazing way with words and is a safe pair of hands. We've had lots of comments about how the wedding was very different from what people were used to, more relaxed and personal, and how good Gitte was as our celebrant. It was all pretty perfect.

    Gitte did a fantastic job with our wedding. She took a lot of time to discuss with us and also family and friends pre wedding and then sent us a script for the day which went really well. She came for a run through the day before and was happy to travel quite a long way journey to be with us.

    Gitte was absolutely wonderful. From the moment that we started talking, she was warm, friendly and helped us to navigate the ceremony process - always reminding us that it was OUR day and we could do it HOWEVER WE WANTED. She captured our story beautifully after just one meeting but made sure to follow up and meet us again to make sure she had got it just the way we wanted. On and after the day, many of our friends asked about her and thought she must be a friend as she made the ceremony so friendly, relaxed and personal. As someone said - she made such a warm loving environment that it set the day up really well. We are very grateful for having had Gitte as part of our day. Would give a million stars if we could.

    Gitte was the celebrant for my partner's funeral and did a brilliant job. At such a stressful time, she was calm, patient and helpful. She took time to listen to what we wanted and to learn about my partner so that when she conducted the ceremony, it really felt like she knew him well. She was very responsive to all our requests and questions, made suggestions when asked but respected all our wishes. Those that came to the funeral commented on what a great job she did. I thoroughly recommend her. She was compassionate as well as practical and made sure everything went smoothly on the day without being intrusive.

    Gitte was a wonderful celebrant for our wedding this summer. We loved how she developed our "story" together and the hand fasting ritual we decided was right for us. She has a really calm energy and is a great orator. She was also organized and professional, taking the stress out of the day itself. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
