Welcome to my website...
"My Ceremonies are all about Love and Laugher" Whether you are having a traditional wedding, something informal and fun, at a backyard, beach or winery or a themed wedding at a magical Venue, I can create a ceremony that is both MEMORABLE and suitable to your taste and BUDGET. For my part, I believe your ceremony and the whole marriage process leading up to your special day should be as STRESS-FREE as possible so I make sure it is dignified, SEAMLESS and PROFESSIONAL but a lot of fun too... (just look at the photos in the columns!!) You and your guests are my priority on the day so that all you have to do is enjoy your ceremony shared with your good friends and family... ...because I make your dreams of becoming Husband and Wife or Partners For Life come true... Please look through my website for further information and if you have any questions about the ceremony or getting married then please CONTACT me and I will be happy to help you in any way I can... The Testimonials below are from actual client evaluations and can be produced if required. More testimonials can be found on my Testimonial Page HERE ...oOo... Testimonials ...oOo... ...oOo... Martess was a wonderful celebrant for our wedding on the 24th of November. Martess was incredibly friendly, kind and professional. We found her easy to get along with from beginning to end! Her organisation of the ceremony was outstanding. She provided drafts on the ceremony script, advice on our vows and readings, and accepted last minute additions. She was flexible with the rehearsal, and responded to all communication promptly. On our day she presented very well and provided a warm and welcoming ceremony. Her husband, Alan, provided us some photos after the wedding, which we received before we got home on our wedding night! The photos are simply gorgeous and some of my favourites we have seen so far. Thank you for all your work, Martess. Alex & Lara ...oOo... Martess was incredibly organised (like there are no words to describe how prepared she was haha), professional and so much fun. She is such a lovely person who clearly has a true passion for love and what she does. The stress of that part of our wedding was completely taken away thanks to her, even appointments before hand she was flexible and accommodating. So many people commented on how sweet and funny she was, and spoke very well so everyone could hear and understand, even through hail. We would also like to greatly thank Alan (Martess’s husband) for the many and beautiful photos he took at our ceremony. It was wonderful to have so many photos the day after our wedding, while waiting on professional photos to enjoy. 110% recommend 😊 By Laura Rocca ...oOo... Hi Martess We really want to thank you for setting the scene for a relaxed and fun day. From the moment we met and discussed our wedding, Dave and I knew that you understood the type of wedding we were wanting...relaxed, fun and personal. I have to say the support that you gave us along the way, as well as the opportunity for us to go through the motions at the dress rehearsal with you, meant that I had no concerns at all about the ceremony. I had confidence that no matter what, you would be able to make sure that it flowed beautifully and that everybody felt a part of the day. This is a huge thing for any bride, so a big thank you for that. And honestly it was everything and more than we expected. We have had many guests comment on how lovely you were throughout the morning and how many beautiful moments there were, from when Zac walked me down the aisle, to our personal vows and the moment when you brought our family together as part of the ceremony. Barb & Dave ...oOo... Hi Martess, Thank you for being part of our wedding and your wonderful service and conducting a beautiful ceremony. We honestly had the best time and are both so happy with how it all went, you handled the very funny interruption from those birds so well hahaha The ceremony was fun and full of love, which really describes us to a tee. I wish we could all go back and be in that exact moment again, it was great. Thank you so much, Rachel and James ...oOo... Hi Martess, Thank you so much for being our celebrant. Jamie and I had the best time at our ceremony. We could not ask for a more perfect day. And a huge thank you to Alan for the photos. We loved them!! In relation to the ceremony itself. I loved how calm and organised you were on the day. I really appreciated that as I was a bit nervous! You took all the worry out of the process, which is just what I needed. The humour you used was perfectly on point and engaged our friends and family. Some of my favourite photos of the day are of Jamie and I laughing out loud at your jokes. It was great! I also really appreciated the process you used to help us pick our vows etc. your folder was clearly set out and had so many options. It was a lovely and fun process picking them out with you and Jamie. I liked how you offered lots of suggestions and emailed through extra ideas. The whole process was fabulous! You really were amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant for our special day. Thank you again Kate & Jamie ...oOo... Thankyou for your beautiful email, we are so happy with our choice to have you as our celebrant, you were perfect! The entire process was made very easy for us so we have no issues at all.

Hey Martess, Thank you both so much, thank you for being our celebrant on what was such a beautiful day - it was absolutely lovely. You were absolutely great on the day and during the entire process from our very first meeting to the wedding. You connected with us so well; who would have known we only met a few months ago. Everything just ran so smoothly, I had no worries at all and having Alan work along side you and able to take photographs is an added bonus. We can't thank you enough or be more appreciative. We will definitely recommend you when we have the opportunity. It was a pleasure to meet you and we thank you very much, Kind regards, Natasha and Mark ...oOo... Hi Martess, We firstly want to extend our sincere thanks for all that you did to make our wedding day so incredible. We are very grateful for the time and effort that you put in and we don't feel that we could have had a better day if we tried. I want to thank you for all the time, effort and support you offered! We had some great feedback on how beautiful and well-run and balanced the ceremony was. I want to thank you for being so accommodating to Father Forder’s additions to the ceremony. We think you did a fantastic job, I was very thankful that you came to see me beforehand, I was not nervous most of the day but the tension seemed to rise a bit immediately beforehand so I was grateful to have a few people to help me feel a bit calmer! We are appreciative of how well you worked with Father Forder to produce such a beautiful ceremony! We were overall very happy with the way everything ran and how everything went off without a hitch thanks to your experience and hard work. Thanks again, Natasha and Patrick ...oOo...
