I have transcribed a number of the letters that I have received from couples following their weddings.
Dear Jill-Ellen,
Damon and I would like to thank you for your support, service, time and organisation for our wedding. It was just a wonderful day and so many of the guests commented on the beautiful ceremony. Thank you once again in helping the day to be very special and calming down the best man.
Suzy & Damon

Thank you for making such a special day for another wedding in our family

Thank you again and best wishes,
Liz & Tim
Dearest Jill-Ellen,
Thank you for marrying us so beautifully you guided us through the ceremony very nicely…your warm, re-assuring presence, during moments, when time is compressed, emotions heightened its hard to explain… you’ve been at so many weddings and understand how confusing or disorientating it can all be…but with you there to lead us through, everything went as smoothly as could be. We loved the little jump in the air that you did after pronouncing us ‘husband and wife’ and at risk of embarrassing you…you were much admired, both for officiating splendidly, and for being a beautiful woman.
Thank you again for joining us [ha ha]
Maybe we will so you around sometime. until whenever
Hugs and Kisses Nick & Alexandra

Dear Jill-Ellen,
We are enjoying our ‘married life’, together and thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day. It seemed like a lot of preparation for one day, a day which went so quickly but really was worth it. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful and all our guests commented on how nice it was and what a ‘lovely lady’ our celebrant was, but I am sure you hear that all the time You are a legend.
Once again, thank you for your help on our wedding day.
Fondest regards,
Joanne

Dear Jill-Ellen,
I wish to thank you for officiating as Marriage Celebrant for the wedding of my daughter Melanie and Peter. You set the theme for a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and the wedding ceremony was just lovely!, Quite a few guests commented favourably on the selection of ceremony. In fact the wedding ceremony was an excellent beginning to a most enjoyable evening.
Sincerely
Angela Mitchell

Dear Jill-Ellen,
Both Brad and I would love to thank you for making our night of the 29th very special
Brad said he would never have got through it without you!!
The ceremony, the people, the music, what a fabulous party, and what a way to get married. We will always remember you and will keep all those memories close. We hope you had a great night…I’m sure you did, being such a social butterfly Where touring Salzburg today, then off to Innsbruck tomorrow.
Yours always
Brad and Heather
Dearest Jill-Ellen
I would like to say thank you for making our day so special…your calm, elegant and confident manner helped to make our ceremony feel almost magical. Our family and friends are still raving about the wedding. Thank you also for staying cool during the trauma of my mum being so late. I appreciated it. You were right it would have been better to invite the guest at least 30 minutes before I was due to arrive.
Kind regards,
Angela and Peter
Thank your so much Jill-Ellen for your professionalism in every aspect of our marriage, everybody, still comment on how wonderful you were, your beautiful glowing face captured everybody.
Hope everything is going well for you. Our thanks and every best regards,
Maggie and Ross
Dear Jill-Ellen,
Thank you for being an extra special marriage celebrant, joining in with the family and making all parties relaxed and happy. Louise particularly appreciated your calming down elect before the ceremony. It was lovely to meet you and we were very pleased you could stay and have dinner with us. We will see you in a few years for Jess and Allan’s wedding ceremony between now and then, we certainly will recommend you to all our friends that do not know you already.
Kind regards,
Michael
