Love Stories, In Their Own Words
★★★★★
‘You added some great ideas to the ceremony, which for us wasn’t something we had previously put too much thought into. The addition of the wine and letters was something a lot of our guests thought was a nice quirk to the ceremony, which they hadn’t seen before – so thank you for helping us to give it a bit of local flavour!’
Sophie & Craig -Sophie & Craig Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat, Nice
‘Lucy was an integral part of the best day of our lives--we wouldn't change a thing. She also uses her vast experience to make things easier. Because she's done so many weddings across the spectrum of style and substance, she's flexible and willing to do whatever you want to make your wedding special. We loved that you had existing relationships with some of the other suppliers, and your offers to support us with anything onsite/last minute made me feel very safe and reassured that we had a great support team with plenty of experience.’
Meagan & Ethan - Hotel de Paris, Monaco
‘Lucy is an incredible wedding officiant who made our ceremony absolutely perfect. She struck a remarkable balance between fun and touching, leaving everyone in tears of joy. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, making the ceremony feel personal and genuine. Lucy was a hit with all our guests as well!
We really can’t thank you enough and some of the words you shared during the ceremony will be with us for the rest of our lives. And yes let’s please stay in touch.’
