Wedding Testimonials – 2015
LEE AND HELEN
We were fortunate the rain held off for the wedding ceremony for Lee and Helen at the beautiful Stockade Botanic Park, at 3.30 p.m. The bride looked absolutely gorgeous, and the color scheme of purple and yellow was stunning. The floral arrangements were hand made intricate paper of yellow and purple, as were the men’s buttonholes. Theirs was a happy, low key wedding, with everyone relaxed and happy, and the children each taking a part.

DANIEL AND KATE
VALENTINE’S DAY 2015
What a beautiful romantic day to be married! Coupled with the fact it was 41 degrees for the ceremony, it is a day never to be forgotten!
Kate, the bride was absolutely gorgeous, and did not look hot at all – whilst Daniel and his attendants remained cool in their suits, minus jackets.
The Rose Garden at the Para Hills Bowling Club was the venue, and lots of iced water and fans helped with the heat.
The first photograph shows Daniel and Kate, Daniel’s parents, and brother Michael – best man – with his lovely wife. It was truly a beautiful wedding.
I love the photo of the gorgeous bride, Kate, fanning me, during the 41 degree ceremony.
Hi Patricia,
Just wanted to say a BIG Thank You from Daniel and I for marrying us. Despite the heat we had a fantastic day, and the Reception was also beautiful.
Thanks again,
Love
Kate

ANDREW AND STEPHANIE
Andrew and Stephanie had a beautiful wedding on Easter Saturday, at my favorite venue. The Hotel Richmond in Rundle Mall has a stylish, “olde worlde” charm to it, and ceremonies there are very romantic.
The couple wrote moving, meaningful vows, and several significant readings were presented by special people. It was a wonderful way to spend Easter Saturday, surrounded by caring and lovely people, with a couple so much in love.
I love the photo of the cake, with beer bottle to the side. So Australian!

ANTONY AND CELESTE
Saturday 4th July 2015, at the beautiful Ballroom, Ayers House, saw Antony and Celeste marry, in a magnificent ceremony, surrounded by dearly loved family and friends. Celeste was a stunning bride, and the bridesmaids also looked beautiful. Antony maintained his great sense of humour, and both made their families very proud of them. It was a pleasure to conduct their marriage ceremony.
Patricia was fantastic from beginning to end. She made the whole process easy to understand and not the least bit daunting (I was so worried about all the paperwork that would be needed!).
Patricia was extremely accommodating to all our questions and request. She did a fantastic job to help us write out our ceremony and make it very personal. She has a great sense of humour and delivered the ceremony on the day with such a strong voice full of joy.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends, she definitely helped to make the day memorable.
