Sally Hughes

ALEX + CHRIS

MVP = Sally Hughes

We first witnessed Sally’s magic at my brother in-law’s wedding and at that moment we knew we had to have her officiate our wedding.
Once you start the slightest bit of research into booking Sally as your celebrant you’ll notice how busy and sought after she is, but when you are working with her she makes you feel like you are her only couple and all her time is going into creating a beautiful ceremony specifically tailored for you!!!

Sally’s pre-wedding planning and schedule is not only incredibly organised but really fun! But it’s on the day that Sally is the MOH/Best Man you never knew you needed. She is thinking about everyone and everything and is always one step ahead with a slight head nod or a little voice prompt to make sure everything happens at the right moment! Sally removes every bit of stress so you can be completely present during your ceremony!

Thank you for all your hard work in making our ceremony perfect. We had so much fun working with you!

NINA + PETER

Wow where to begin. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so beautiful and so perfect. Peter and I have been on a crazy love high the past 3 weeks constantly reminiscing about how perfect the day was (honestly the best day of our lives), and how you quintessentially brought all the elements together to make a beautiful ceremony. We couldn't have imagined a better ceremony. It was perfect.

Everyone has been complimenting us on how beautiful everything was and how impressed they were with the ceremony. 

Thank you again Sally for making our day so perfect. We feel so blessed to have had you as our celebrant. 

SONYA + TROY

I honestly cannot sing high enough praise of Sally! She is one of a kind and just incredible at what she does!

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with so many celebrants, but I couldn't imagine anyone else marrying my partner and I other than Sally!

She was incredible to work with from day one, guiding us through everything, offering us advice and just being the most caring human being! Our family and friends absolutely loved her on the day and she made our celebration so personal, fun and joy-filled.If you're looking for a celebrant who will make your ceremony unforgettable and who truly cares, then look no further, Sally is brilliant!Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Sally! I can't wait to work with you again!!

LAUREN + NATHAN

Yesterday was so magical. Sal, we cannot thank you enough!

Everyone kept telling us that our ceremony was THE BEST they have ever been to. A few of my girlfriends even agreed it was even better than their own ceremonies and it would not have been the same without you.

Again, from the bottom of our hearts thank you for sticking with us and helping make yesterday the best day ever!

FIONA + PAUL

Sally, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much! Your beautiful, fun, loving and bubbly personality made our ceremony so touching. As well as a few really good laughs, you delivered our story so wonderfully that you made all 220 of our guests feel the intimacy from your gift of storytelling! Deserving of all your awards (Australian Celebrant of the Year), you are truly an amazing celebrant!

Thank you so much for being a part of our day and making it so special for us.

KRISTINA + JOHN

My husband and I didn't think we had a love story worth telling - that was until we heard Sally tell it.

Sally is all class and a true professional. She is the best at what she does and that's because she truly loves it. From the moment we met Sally, we knew she was who we wanted to stand in front of our most important people in sharing our biggest day of our lives. She made us feel comfortable and at ease during what is truly a crazy time. She is so down to earth, funny and honestly the most organised person we have ever met. She ran us through every single step, heck - she was even the first person to walk me down the aisle (aka the hallway in her home) and the only thing that kept me remotely calm during our ceremony, was knowing that Sally had it all under control.

I think the thing that sets Sally apart is how genuinely she gets to know her couples. We spent many hours with Sally as she learned about who we are as a couple, as individuals and as part of our broader family and friendship groups. Our ceremony was the most important part of our day and Sally absolutely nailed it! Thank you for making our day incredible.

TIFFANY + DAVE

Look no further as this is the best celebrant you will EVER find.

Sally was with us every step of the way from when we got engaged in 2018, to when we FINALLY got married on our 4th attempt in 2022. At every single turn she was supportive, flexible, reassuring, and just all round amazing to deal with. Her theatre background really helped her to create an amazing atmosphere for our ceremony and she had so many personal touches that she loves to bring to her ceremonies that really make them unique and memorable compared to others you see. Our guests have been constantly raving since our wedding that this was the best ceremony they've ever witnessed and we have to agree wholeheartedly.

On top of this, Sally is a workhorse and was constantly doing everything she could in the background to make sure our day ran smoothly so there would be no need for us to worry about anything as she had it all covered.

We could write a 2,000 word essay on why everyone should book Sally, but I'll just leave it at this...

Stop looking now. Book her. You'll thank us later.

DAVID + HAMISH

Sally, we are so grateful for the compassion and thoughtfulness you put into our marriage ceremony. From the outset, your professionalism and care set a clear tone that achieving our dream wedding was your priority, alongside us. We felt safe with you every step of the way, as you: guided us through the vows; embraced our special requests for the ceremony and supported us with the set up! 

We spoke many times face-to-face, via Zoom, email, on the phone and via text many times; we felt we were kept informed of the process every step of the way. Moreover you were so flexible as we rearranged the wedding date due to the pandemic and consequent lockdowns. 

On the wedding day, you were prompt, clearly in control and visionary, as you supported us, those speaking and passing the rings and the DJ to understand their roles and responsibilities.

Furthermore, as a celebrant you had a wonderful energy and presence which many of the guests commented; you were clearly committed to communicating our story well, which was evident through your understanding of timing, pace and overall delivery - it was clear, well-spoken and energised in the right ways at the right moments. The follow up after the ceremony was wonderful too, giving us the opportunity to debrief. 

Finally, as a queer couple, we felt you: accepted our diversity; embraced our story and treated us with the upmost respect. We can’t thank you enough for making us feel safe with you. Thank you Sally for making it such a wonderful and memorable experience! x

MADDIE + JACK

We cannot sing high enough praise for this wonderful human! Sally is such an amazing celebrant and so talented at what she does.

On the day, Sally made our ceremony so engaging, memorable, special and so much fun. She did a wonderful job of telling our story and involving our bridal party and guests. We have received countless comments about how amazing she was and how the ceremony was the best they have seen.

In the lead up to the day, Sally’s experience is just invaluable. She genuinely cares about making your day exactly how you envisioned and helping to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible - even having us over to her own home to have a practice run through! There is so much more work she puts in behind the scenes to what everyone else sees during that half an hour ceremony.

We will forever be grateful to Sally for making our day absolutely perfect.

CLEMENTINE + JACK

Sally, we can never thank you enough for our beautiful ceremony, which was everything we dreamt of and so much more, and for all your expert help and advice. 

We valued your experience and input in the whole process - you always had the perfect answer to any questions we had. Initially I was really set on having a ceremony that was very serious, because I thought of giving vows as a serious thing, and I'd been to few weddings where I'd found the whole thing a bit too 'jokey', but I am so glad you were able to show us how our ceremony could also be fun and happy and warm, and funny, whilst also being serious and meaningful at the appropriate times. We wouldn't have been able to achieve this without you, and I'm so glad we did! 

… we remember all your thoughtful touches that meant so much and the warmth that you brought to our day. We can remember throughout the reception, and the next day at the pub, so many people coming up to us to say how wonderful you were! 

We really agonised over just about every wedding decision we had to make, big or small, except for hiring you! As soon as I saw your website, I knew that you were the only celebrant we wanted! You really went and above and beyond with fitting in our wedding rehearsal, planning ceremony seating charts, and I was so amazed when you greeted all our family by name! 

Thank you again, Sally.  … You made our wedding something that was so meaningful to us and we’re so grateful.

SHANNAN + DANIELA

Supportive, adaptive and elegant, you were absolutely wonderful in every way…. Thanks so much for creating such a warm, respectful and memorable ceremony for us, Sal. We’re certainly recommending your services to all with our guests still talking about our beautiful and magical ceremony. … it was filled with so much love and authenticity.

NATALIE + CHRIS

We cannot recommend Sally enough. From our first meeting via Zoom, to our first face to face catch up, there were so many laughs and happy times. She made us feel very comfortable about our ceremony and delivered exactly what we wanted on the day which was a light hearted humorous ceremony! She is very thorough and organised and gets everything done quickly and early on in the process so that in the last few months you can focus on other things for your wedding.

We had a lot of feedback from our guests post ceremony about how amazing our ceremony was and asked how we found Sally and said that she was so good!

Thank you Sally we are so appreciative!

TINEKA + JOSH

Sally is THE BEST!!! Just WOWWWW!!

Having her do our ceremony is the best decision we could have made. Her warmth, positivity and friendliness blew us and our guests away.

She’s hands down the best celebrant in Australia and we feel so lucky she was recommended to us by our photographers. Thank you Sally, you are amazing!!

NICOLE + OWEN

Sally was incredible! From our first meeting to our wedding day she showed great interest in our lives and therefore was able to tell our story in such a beautiful way. She was always so upbeat and fully focused on making our day so special. Sally made our ceremony unforgettable by adding a perfect balance of humour and love delivered flawlessly. Thank you Sal, you're amazing!

CHLOE + ED

Sally was absolutely incredible!!! From the first meeting until the big day Sally took so much stress out of the whole ceremony process for us by guiding us through everything. Her level of professionalism is outstanding and she was a friendly, enthusiastic and fun person to have as part of the important process. Our guests completely raved about her following the ceremony where everyone gave her a round of applause at the mention of her name later on during the reception. Sally was an absolute god send and we could not be more thankful for having found her.

MICHELLE + BEN

Sally is the best Celebrant one could ever ask for. Her attention to detail, delivery and ability to work the crowd as well as calm the wedding party on the actual day speaks volumes about her professionalism and expertise. All of our guests have mentioned that she is the best Celebrant that they've ever witnessed and they loved how she was humorous and engaging with the crowd. We would definitely recommend Sally to anyone who needs a Celebrant.

BROOKE + DAVE

Sally, thank you for the delivering the most beautiful ceremony we could ever have hoped for. In the lead up to the wedding, the ceremony was the part Dave and I were most looking forward to, as we knew from that first meeting that your style matched our vision of a personal, intimate and entertaining ceremony that involved all of our guests. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks again for the incredible wedding ceremony you conducted for us. It was absolutely perfect and our guests have commented again and again on how unique, interesting and joyful it was. Despite the nerves we loved every second!

ALI + ED

If you are looking for the perfect marriage celebrant, look no further than Sally Hughes. Sal is one of the most kind, warm and lovely people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She created a ceremony for us that was precisely planned to the finest of details, but at the same time was relaxed, entertaining and heartfelt. 

As an organised person myself, I appreciated how organised Sally was and her high attention to detail. Sally was in constant contact with us in the lead up to the wedding which was very reassuring. Plus, she handled all the legal marriage documents and paperwork too! Every single detail of our ceremony was well-considered and planned by Sally, all the way down to little things like making sure the groomsmen didn't have bulky phones/keys in their pockets and Sally wearing a colour that didn't clash with the bridal party. She really thought of everything which meant we didn't have to stress about anything at all! 

In the lead up to our big day, Sally really took the time to get to know my partner and I, and in turn crafted the most beautiful and personalised ceremony for us. One of our guests actually asked if Sally was a personal friend of ours, which I think sums up our whole experience with Sally so perfectly. 

From the bottom of our hearts Sal, thank you for creating a magical moment in time for us that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Lots of love, Mr. & Mrs. Grego xxxx

CAITLIN + ANDY

Is it strange that our guests commented on how amazing our Celebrant was before they said an official congratulations to us post ceremony? Possibly. ⁠

It is however a huge acknowledgment of just how engaging, warm, personal and incredible Sally is as a Celebrant, and we're so pleased we had the honour of sharing our day with her.⁠

⁠From the first meeting, Sally is the definition of a professional in her field. Detailed, approachable, fun, reassuring and experienced.⁠

We can't recommend Sally more highly..

MICHAEL + JUAN

It was an absolute pleasure having Sally Hughes marry my husband and I. From the first connect meeting, to the final meeting and to our ceremony, she listened and guided us every step of the way. Her attention to detail to create such a beautiful moment for us and allow us to have our flare of words was unbelievable. Sally is more than just a Celebrant, she is a real person who is kind and willing to accommodate anything you send her way.

We received so many comments from our guests after the ceremony about her delivery – mostly that it was something they had never seen before.  It was a true reflection of her personality. Being real and having fun along the way.

JULIA + KIT

Sally is an exceptional Celebrant. She is engaging, funny, warm and thoroughly organised. She made sure that all the admin happened seamlessly in the background which took a lot of pressure off us and was greatly appreciated. ⁠
⁠
Where her real value lies, though, is in the personal touch she offers and the ways she helped us plan and run our ceremony. She has a wealth of information available that helped us with our vows, and the order of ceremony - as well as great recommendations for photographers, florists and other service providers which we used. ⁠
⁠
She also helped with practical, logistical things such as furniture placement, where to stand and how to best put on our rings to ensure the best photos, patiently coaching the kids involved in our ceremony on their roles and lines… it really felt like she went way above and beyond expectations to ensure the day went exactly as we wanted it to. ⁠
⁠
She then delivered the most heartwarming, humorous and fun ceremony we could have hoped for. She was warm without being cheesy, funny without stealing the show, flexible and adaptable and a lot of fun. She even went so far as to dress so as to match our autumnal theme. ⁠
⁠
We feel very lucky to have found Sally and don’t think there’s anyone who could have done a better job of making our day so perfect. ⁠
⁠
Thank you Sally, we are forever grateful.

AMANDA + MATT

We absolutely loved having you as our Celebrant… we couldn’t have picked a more perfect person. We’ve had soooo many wonderful comments about you from our friends and family… they were very impressed!….

SAMARA + BRENDAN

We just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for our amazing ceremony that you put together and absolutely everything you did for us on our big day. We had so many of our guests express to us how much they enjoyed the ceremony an how great you were on the day. You made us feel at ease and were so well organised, professional and friendly throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier we chose you. You are the best of the best Sal!

JESS + AL

Engaging Sally to marry us was one of the best decisions we’ve made. She was flawless in the lead up, during and after our wedding. We felt so comfortable with her and the ceremony itself was perfect, we had so many positive comments! Thank you Sally x

STEVE + JOHN

Sal epitomises exactly what I had hoped to find in a celebrant for our wedding; the perfect balance of relaxed, organised, and fun.

From the initial planning stages to the ceremony on the day, Sal was easy-going, communicated clearly, and keen at every step to make sure that the ceremony reflected what my partner and I wanted.

So many guests commented afterwards on how much they enjoyed the marriage ceremony and what a wonderful job Sal did. Sal also had a wonderfully calming presence on the day which was so appreciated. I can’t recommend her services highly enough!

GEORGIA + JOEL

Thank you again for marrying us!! You are so amazing at what you do and we were so lucky to have you as our celebrant! Everyone commented on how great and engaging the ceremony was!

...Thank you for all your help in making our day perfect.  We're so happy with how everything came together!

SARAH + JARRYD

OH MY GOSH SAL. It is all over, what an amazing ceremony, all thanks to you.

You seriously were beyond fantastic, not only on Saturday but throughout the whole process.  We really appreciated your constant understanding and guidance. You truly made our wedding day all that more special and unforgettable. People could not stop talking about how fantastic you were.

We truly are so grateful and thankful and can't put into words how happy we were on Saturday. 

Thanks Sal - FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!  XXXXX

BELINDA + DAMIEN

Our ceremony was always the most important part of our wedding planning...and when we asked you to marry us, we knew everything would be perfect! But we were wrong. Sally you weren't perfect; you were so much more than that. You were genuine and heartfelt and you earned trust from our guests in the opening few moments. You were real. They hung off your every word and cried and laughed like we've never witnessed them do before. These moments on the steps of Campbell Point House will forever be buried deep inside us...and we have you to thank. Despite the nervous energy, we've never felt more comfortable. We were just "BA and DF", albeit a little more glam than usual! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

BRIAN + NICHOLAS

Sally you were brilliant! From our first meeting you made us feel comfortable despite the nerves. You guided us from start to finish, and the ceremony was perfect. It really felt like you understood who we are and what we wanted. It was a pleasure to have you as our celebrant.

MEGAN + TODD

Do not look any further if you are wanting the best marriage celebrant in Melbourne!

From start to finish, Sally had everything covered and made the whole experience and day absolutely amazing. And to say she is thorough is an understatement. Most catch ups were just a barrel of laughs, so was concerned that maybe we might miss something but quite the opposite. She talked us through everything and even a last minute change was not a problem. And she was only too happy to go and buy a new frock to match our colour theme.

We can't thank Sally enough for making the start of our day absolutely perfect!!

LARA + ASH

Thank you so much for making our ceremony such an amazing and memorable experience Sal. You captured our relationship perfectly and gave our ceremony such a personal touch. We feel so incredibly lucky to have been married by you…. You are truly amazing and we cannot speak highly enough of you.

DANI + JEFF

We honestly cannot thank you enough and are still beaming from ear to ear about how amazing the day turned out. We had so many guests rave about you!! We all agreed that you are an amazing storyteller and created such a seamless ceremony. I thought I would be rather anxious on the day but how could I when you had everything under control.

I just watched a video of the ceremony and saw that you even stopped my Dad from tripping over my veil. Nice work! Another thing to mention, guests kept complimenting us on memorising our vows! Great job on making us look clever ;)  We think you are amazing and definitely deserve to be recognised for your talent. Thank you for creating such a fun and polished ceremony!

LIV + NATH

Sally, you're the best!

Thank you for all of your efforts pre, during and post ceremony. From our first encounter you have made us feel extra special and like we were your only/first clients (not your prob 1000th :).

We have received so many comments from family and friends about the ceremony - you were so fantastic!! We truly appreciate it - thank you!

EMMA + SIMON

Sally, we had nothing but amazing feedback about you and the way the service was conducted…..you really kicked off the wedding in the best way possible and we couldn’t be more grateful!   

You took so many extra steps to support us which you didn’t need to do….we were actually reading the booklet you printed off of our ceremony last night….we will treasure that forever!

Anything we can do to recommend you as the amazing celebrant you are, we will!

RAEMA + KIRE

Thank you so much for everything Sally! We loved the ceremony you performed for us, it was exactly what we wanted. We even had a number of guests tell us that you were the best celebrant they have ever seen. …We cannot say a bad word about your service, it was fantastic. Thank you again for everything. You really did help make our day special.

SHAN + PAUL

Sal, thank you for not only living up to my expectations, but for exceeding them in so many ways. We just can not thank you enough for the incredible job you did. You were absolutely fabulous in every way. Your professionalism, poise and genuine interest in us as a couple made for the most perfectly delivered ceremony. I was, and shall continue to sing your praises loud and clear my friend. You were a dream to work with throughout the planning process and we are truly grateful for the hugely important role you played. x

JESSICA + THOMAS

It was an absolute delight to have Sally conduct our wedding ceremony.   It far exceeded any expectations we had. It was definitely the highlight of the night, as it should be. From our very first meeting, she was warm, friendly, helpful and extremely professional. She went above and beyond in everything she did for us. Her guidance and general wedding advice in the lead up made our wedding planning so much more relaxed than we anticipated.

On the day, she was so organised and happy that she immediately made everybody feel calm.  Sally's moving and personal delivery of our story was the highlight of the evening for us and for our guests. She was impeccably presented, classy and spoke with genuine emotion and enthusiasm where appropriate. Everybody in the room was impressed by her ability to get lots of laughs and to create such an emotional, memorable experience. We couldn't have been happier with Sally!  

KATE + STEVE

Sally, it was truly the most amazing day and I think our favourite thing was the ceremony!! You absolutely nailed our brief of being humorous yet sentimental and so many of our friends and family raved about it afterwards. Thank you again for making it so special!!

AMELIA + WILL

Thank you for being our wedding Celebrant.  Our ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more. It was the highlight of the day!  Will and I so enjoyed spending time with you, you created exactly the type of ceremony we wanted and made us feel so excited every time we came to see you. I will be singing your praises to every bride I work with, you were an absolute professional but most of all just lovely and joyful which is exactly what we wanted in a Celebrant! 

CHELSEA + MARTY

Thank you so much for a perfect ceremony, you were the most wonderful celebrant EVER.

LAURA + MAT

Hi Sally, Mat and I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. From the moment we met you we knew you would be the perfect person the marry us. We had the most amazing day on Sunday and it all started with a perfect ceremony. We have had so many comments about how great the ceremony was and questions asking where did we find you!!! Thank you again. I hope that one of our family or friends has you as their celebrant so one day we can listen to another one of your beautiful stories. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. xx

NICOLE + WILLIAM

Thank you so much for your tremendous effort on our wedding day, we received so many compliments about your role and what a fantastic job you did... Sal you are such a beautiful person inside and out, we are so glad that you were a part of our day. You are extremely organised, professional and very caring. We will be recommending your services to anyone we know getting married.

CAROLYNE + MARTY

Thank you Sally for everything you did for our wedding. You went above and beyond our expectations and made it a seamless journey for both of us. All of our close family and friends have expressed how fabulous, easy-going and kind you were on the day and how fantastic the ceremony itself was! People have said to us multiple times how lovely and kind you were, so thank you from us and everyone else!

LISA + HAGS

Hey Sal. Thank you for your kind words – we had the best day. We both agree that the ceremony was a massive highlight for us and we had so many people come up to us during the day and tell us that they loved it and it was the nicest ceremony they had been to. Your ability to be super professional, funny and take the story of a couple and make it personal and deliver it so well is amazing. I think you have found your calling.. :)

ASH + JARROD

Ash and I were absolutely delighted with your work. Your professionalism and enthusiasm for our ceremony was evident throughout and we couldn't have been happier. Guests were saying things like "best ceremony I've ever witnessed", etc. so I think that really speaks for itself.

CHRISTINE + LING

Hi Sally. We both loved your ceremony, everything was done so well. Neither of us can fault your service and you were completely professional throughout the whole process from first meeting til completion. Thank you again for all your help and services, we will definitely recommend you to any friends or family in the future.

ANNA + RICHARD

Sally, we are so pleased and privileged to have had you as our celebrant. Since seeing you conduct Shannon and Brad's wedding we knew we had to look no further. Our meetings were a pleasure, with you taking the time to understand us as a couple and providing useful insight to help us make decisions. Your organisation and experience in proceedings behind the scenes was also evident. Our ceremony was "very us" just as requested, full of laughter yet meaningful. We have received countless compliments for yourself and our ceremony, and guests haven't hesitated in saying "the best" they've seen - we couldn't agree more. As soon as we hear of the next engagement we'll be recommending you in a heart beat. We've just received our photos and our ceremony was full of smiles and laughter……. Thank you.

AMBER + PAT

Thanks so much Sally. You did a sensational job last night and helped us achieve exactly what we wanted from our ceremony. Thanks again for being a wonderful part of it all.… we had so many great comments about you and we have been recommending you to all our bride and groom-to-be friends! Keep in touch Sally. Thanks again.

LAUREN + TY

Hi Sal You did such an amazing job. Sal we are so lucky to have had you as our celebrant. You were just perfect. You really captured our personalities and what we wanted for our ceremony without any direction! We have had non-stop comments about how lovely you are and already had requests for your number which is great!! From our first meeting we were so relaxed with you - you felt immediately like an old friend, we are both so grateful to you Sal! Really we could not be happier it was such a special day we both had the most amazing time. Thank you, you are so lovely!!! xx

BEC + TOM

Sally, we were absolutely blown away by the ceremony... We loved your professional but friendly approach and the way you connected with our all our family and friends, which wouldn't be hard with your kind-hearted and friendly nature. Tom and I connected instantly with you during our first meeting and felt that we were in the perfect hands.

You did an amazing job re telling our story. All of our guests only had lovely positive feedback about our wedding, saying its the best wedding they had ever been to.

...We loved all the personal touches you suggested, involving our family and friends - what a laugh that was, thoroughly entertaining! The little things you added to our ceremony made it different to any wedding we have been to before. They were all such lovely, personal touches...

Sally as you can probably tell we are both incredibly happy. ...You are such an amazing, talented person and we feel honoured to have met you and have you perform our ceremony...

STEPH + DAMIAN

Thank you so much for being a part of our day. We received so many compliments in relation to your presentation of our ceremony and were so pleased to have you on board as part of the A team!! You dressed elegantly, spoke elegantly, and kept that relaxed feel we were hoping for. …Thanks again for conducting such a beautiful ceremony for us - Damian and I decided that you were definitely the best value for money supplier for our whole wedding! :)

ELENOR + ALISTER

Dear Sal. A loving note can barely express how you have added to our happiness in celebrating our joy and sharing our love. We would like to send our sincerest thanks for conducting the most brilliant ceremony ever! You are a sensation and we adore you. Much love always. xx

DANIELLE + AIDAN

Hi Sally! Thanks again for everything you did to make our big day special. It all went so smoothly and everyone commented on what a great job you did and how professional you were. We were so happy with the ceremony and how personalised it was and also very relaxed which was exactly what we wanted... Our sisters also loved you so you may be expecting a call from them in a few years for their weddings! Thanks so much again.

VANESSA + DAMIAN

Sally, the first time we met with you we knew we wanted you to be our celebrant at our wedding. Your passion and professionalism toward our special day shined through immediately! Your ability to capture 'our story' and portray it so beautifully and sentimentally in the ceremony amazed not only us but all of our guests, which we continued to hear compliments about for weeks after our wedding. You managed to calm both of our nerves in the lead up to the big day as well as during the ceremony by putting us at ease. This allowed us to focus on each other, relax, and really enjoy the ceremony itself.

The only thing we would change about our wedding would be to include you as a guest at our reception. Thank you.

NIKITA + TOM

Hi Sal I really want to thank you for making our day so special. Words alone cannot express how absolutely amazing the service was and how your efforts will truly make it a day to remember forever. The service reflected Tom and I perfectly in every aspect, and all of the guests have since continued to inform us both how much they loved our service. You truly went above all of our expectations even down to your inclusions of humour and suggestions for the time capsule and celebration drink are what made the day so special. Once again thank you so much.

KIM + LES

Thank-you for everything you did in the lead up to the wedding and everything you did on the day to make the ceremony so unique and special. Your professionalism and thorough approach to the ceremony really stood out and your passion and dedication to your work conducting the wedding ceremony really shone through. It really put us at ease and made the whole thing run so smoothly (even through the rain). We love your work!!! Thanks again for making the whole ceremony so amazing and enjoyable for everyone! ….I have seen many other celebrants out there and they've got nothing on you! I truly believe you are the best! Thanks again for everything. xx

ROCHELLE + JOHN

Such a wonderful person you are Sal! The time you take in getting to know a couple proves and shows this is no job. We could ask for no better person to marry us. Thank you Sally for such a wonderful ceremony, it was everything that we wanted. Not only did the weather Gods shine on us, we were given the best celebrant a couple could ask for. Thank you for all your support and kind words leading up to our wedding and your kind words at our wedding.

LIBBY + NATHAN

Hi Sally, Thank-you so much for conducting the ceremony for us yesterday. You were a sensational hit not only with us but our and everyone agreed that your style and approach are just wonderful. I have a couple of guests eager to get your details - so I will pass those on to them.  ...A sincere thanks for your time and effort. We certainly felt that you went above and beyond for us and we simply cannot thank-you enough. What a journey this has been! And we're so happy you've been a part of it.

KELILA + RYAN

Thank you for making our ceremony so amazing (I know we made it hard by not giving you much to work with!) but it was perfect for us. Honestly we can't thank you enough and we are recommending you to everyone!

GEORGE + JACK

We just had the best day ever, thanks in no small part to your masterful setting the scene and general excellence.  EVERYBODY was complimenting your celebrant prowess.

Thanks again.  You really made our ceremony the most wonderful we could have hoped for. xxx

TARA + GLENN

Hi Sal …People raved about you after the wedding….I have no doubt we will see you again as many of our friends loved you and have said they would get onto you when the time came… Glenn and I send you our love and thanks.

KATH + ROD

Hi Sally, First of all thanks so much for being a part of our special day and we are glad that you were honoured to be a part of it on such short notice. The day for us was perfect and exactly what we wanted under the circumstances. We think it was a beautiful ceremony and your words were an exact reflection of our relationship and our values. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed the ceremony and that is a testament to your professionalism… …We cannot thank you enough for putting together an amazing ceremony!! Thank you again Sally.

ALISON + JOHNNY

Sal, thank you so much for making our wedding so special. We have had so many people comment on how wonderful the ceremony was. You spoke so beautifully and your humour was a highlight for Johnny and I. We will highly recommend you to all our friends and family.

FIONA + BRENT

Sally Hughes, the 'super celebrant', thank-you for an amazing experience, our families haven't stopped talking about how amazing you were!

BEE + ASH

Sal, saying thank you doesn't seem enough. We were both beyond ecstatic with our ceremony, it was perfect for us and we are so grateful to you.  We have had so many people comment on how fantastic and personal our ceremony was and how amazing you were...you are definitely in the right job for you!  It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I will be recommending you to all our friend.

GEORGIE + ANDY

Hi Sally. A huge thank you for conducting such a lovely service for our wedding. By far, the two most common comments on our night were how much people loved the venue and what a fabulous job you did for our ceremony (and what are your contact details!!!).

KATE + TOM

Hi Sal. You were truly amazing at our wedding and we cannot thank you enough!  Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and thank you for making it so. It was also beautiful to read about our day on your Facebook page - you have a beautiful way with words... Thank you so much again. Lots of love from Thailand!

SARAH + MICHAEL

From the moment we first met Sally we knew we were meeting a celebrant who was switched on. Sally was the ultimate professional and was able to deliver the ceremony we always had envisaged when we got engaged. She nailed our brief of the ceremony being “relaxed & fun” as well as providing us with moments of the day we will always remember. Our guests have since commented on what a unique and interesting ceremony it was and no-one had ever seen one like it. We look back on the ceremony with smiles on our faces and will always remember the happy tears and laughter that Sally was able to provide us.

KATIE + VUKA

Hello Sal.  One month ago today you shared with Vuka and I our most special, treasured and memorable day.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Our wedding was the best day of our lives.

Let’s begin by saying, "You were sensational!" The amount of comments afterwards on how great you were as a celebrant is an understatement.  Guests had asked if you were affiliated with Crown and a part of their exceptional service, that you were so positive and so beautiful, that they would recommend you to anyone, the list goes on.

But most of all, WE were impressed and the ceremony wouldn't have been the same without your involvement.  We are so glad we chose you as our celebrant and we will continue to give our recommendations and feedback on how great you are…

KELLIE + MATT

Hey Sal!  It was such a pleasure to have met you, you made our day so perfect - we will always have the fondest memories of times shared with you.  It really was our honour having you as our celebrant.

We wanted to let you know how many lovely compliments we had from family and friends about the ceremony - as we are catching up with people, The Dome and you were hot topics! ….

 …We can’t thank you enough :)
 
All the best to you Sal

KRYSTALYN + CAMERON

.... The whole ceremony was just beautiful and sincere, and you played such a crucial part. We couldn't have done it without you. Your guidance and calmness prior to and during the ceremony was exactly what we needed - you kept our euphoria in check. Well, at least for that 30 minutes in the chapel! 

....And even at the reception and at our post-wedding breakfast the next day, we had guests raving about what a brilliant ceremony it was. Guests loved hearing our story as it made them feel like they were part of our journey, our little fairy tale.

So to you Sal, our super celebrant, thank for being part of our day. Thank you for all your efforts in making it such personal and thoughtful experience that we could share with all our loved ones. And thank you for all of your warmth and energy. You helped to kick off our perfect day, which continued well into that night and will be followed by an eternity of love, laughs, happiness and cupcakes! I can feel it in my happy feet!

Many thanks again, Sal. We cannot sing your praises enough. Hopefully our paths cross again soon! It's been such a pleasure.

CLARE + HAYDEN

Sally, Thank you again for the absolutely wonderful job you did. We couldn't be more delighted with how the day turned out.  The energy in the room really was fantastic, wasn't it?! We didn't realise how much this would set the tone for the whole evening. My Maid of Honour texted to me- 'It was all just so personal, funny and moving'.  

I strongly believe that you personally played a massive role in creating the right feel for our entire day. 

Thanks again and we wish you all the best for your stellar career.

SONIA + MARTY

We just wanted to express our deepest thanks, to you. I can't imagine our ceremony being anything like our vision with someone else - and we were delighted to listen to you tell our story and read our words to our family and friends.

Our guests had nothing but high praise for the style/feel and your manner, so again, we just loved having you a part of our day.

SUZANNE + SLAVA

Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for the most perfect celebration of marriage on Saturday.  You did an incredible job!  We think some of our aunties will try to convince their husbands to remarry with you as their celebrant! 

Also, thanks for being a champ with the Johnny Walker!  I look forward to the vision!

We will always remember our perfect day and our beyond perfect celebrant!  xxxx

NAOMI + RORY

Sal, we can't thank you enough for being our celebrant. Everyone we have spoken to about the wedding talks about you. They say how fun and engaging you were. They mentioned how they had been to 'stuffy' weddings before and this was definitely not one of them! You have such a way with words, everyone was excited to see what was to come next. Everyone said they loved being included in the ceremony, you involved them in ways they’d never seen before.

We have told all our engaged friends about you and we can't recommend you enough!   Again, thank you!

KIRSTY + DANIEL

Sal, we'll be shouting your name from the rooftops whenever anyone we know gets engaged!! You were so calming and relaxed, and everything was so polished and ran so smoothly, thanks to you...

LISA + THOMAS

Hi Sal!  We just wanted to say a massive thank you for EVERYTHING!!! You were so amazing throughout the whole process and the ceremony was absolutely perfect. We could not be happier!!

There are honestly no words to explain how much we loved the ceremony.  It was the best moment of our lives and we are just so, so, so happy :)

We had heaps of people say to us that you were great and they loved our ceremony and we couldn't agree more.  We just cannot thank you enough for everything!!!  xxxx

SARAH + SEAN

Sally, We've lost count of the number of compliments we received about you. Thanks so much!

ANIKA + ANDY

Andy and I can’t begin to tell you how much the wonderful ceremony you created meant to us. We were so happy with everything (as you could see from our HUGE grins on the day!) and couldn’t have asked for more. The ceremony will forever be a brilliant memory in our minds and we can’t thank you enough for that.  Our guests commented that it was like no other ceremony they had experienced before, and like we were hoping, everyone felt engaged!

NAT + PETE

Sal, we just want to thank you again for being a big part of our special day.  Words can't express how grateful we are to have had you conducting our wedding ceremony.   It was just so precious…. You truly are one of a kind and honestly the very best!!

AMI + MATT

Sally, from the bottom of our hearts it was a truly magically day! All of our guests commented how amazing the ceremony was and how fabulous you were!!!! It genuinely makes us sad that we no longer have our meetings with you to look forward to!!! We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect, you captured everything we wanted and more, so truly thank you!!!!

RENEE + ADAM

Sal, thank you, in every way, for your incredible service! We loved every minute of it, and as you have heard on many occasions, it was the best ceremony our guests have been a part of. Everyone we speak to always mentions you and what a fabulous ceremony it was. Thank you for just being fabulous! We couldn't have hoped for a more perfect day!!

GULSAH + SEBASTIAN

Sal, we cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done. We received such positive feedback about the ceremony, especially our fabulous celebrant!

KRYSTEL + JAMES

Sally, we had an amazing day and we very much loved our ceremony. You are a wonderful storyteller and inject a lot of humour. You absolutely nailed it as a fun, loving and inclusive ceremony. We loved having everyone involved. We also felt so much more relaxed having you to guide us through it.

We have passed your details on to a few couples who we hope will be in touch with you soon.

Thank you again!

STACEY + BRIAN

Sal, you were amazing! We couldn't be happier to have you marry us! We had the best day and your kind words made the ceremony.

KAYLA + JAMES

We are so glad Belinda Fitzpatrick recommended you to be our celebrant, you were amazing!  Our guests also mentioned how good you were! You were a crowd favourite.  Thank you!

CLAIRE + ZANE

We really can't thank you enough for how wonderful you were on the day and throughout the whole journey leading up to it. Many of the guests commented on your flawlessness on the day and how your suggestions added a unique memorable twist.  Many guests commented that it was the best ceremony they had been to.

We are so glad that we found you.... the perfect marriage celebrant!  ... You actively listened to what we wanted and then ensured that the ceremony accurately represented us.  You captured all that we wanted and made it that much more meaningful for us as well as our guests. To this day, people are still in awe of the way you conducted the ceremony.

All the very best Sally, thanks again for everything, it was such a magnificent day-made that much better by YOU!

ASHLEY + ADAM

Sally, thank you for all of your support and for composing the most amazing wedding ceremony. You definitely captured the essence of what is 'us' and we have heard so many lovely words from our guests about how beautiful the ceremony was.

Thank you again and again and again.

ERIN + TIM

Sally was the shining star of our whole wedding, from beginning to end...

Meeting Sally was the first part of the wedding I organised, and thank God I did! Because without her, I wouldn't have known what to do. She had wonderful suggestions for ceremonies - from the very traditional to the completely non traditional. She was confident that she could cater to whatever ceremony we wished to have and she was completely right. Sally delivered a beautiful ceremony with laughter and tears. Sally was always available to talk, always happy to answer any questions and always there with a friendly smile and wonderful advice. I can honestly say she was the definition of brilliant. I wish I could just tell everyone who gets married to pick Sally!

Sally, you are a beautiful person, all the way through. We couldn't have been happier and I hope everything you wish for comes true because you deserve all the happiness in the world. ♥     (Vote 1, Australian Celebrant of the Year!!)

BELINDA (BRIDE AND DIRECTOR OF THE THREE PIECE SUIT)

When we meet with brides and grooms, my first recommendation has nothing at all to do with the services offered by The Three Piece Suit. Instead, I like to provide advice about finding a celebrant who speaks to the heart...and there isn't anyone who does that quite like Sally Hughes. Sally is the most remarkable and memorable of story tellers and is able to engage an audience like no other. Her words are spoken with indescribable sincerity and joy and she is able to set the most idyllic of scenes during what is the most important part of the day (or so I believe).  .

It's very special to work alongside you Sally - because even during your sound check, the sound of your voice brings back special memories of the day you officially announced me as a wife!

LAUREN + ASHLEY

Sally, Sally, Sally.. We were thrilled with your work! All of it. We were sure to mention you in our Thank You’s at the reception later, and you got a rousing response. A number of people also went out of their way to approach us and comment on how perfect our celebrant was.

…We were delighted with your services, right from the very first. After our first meeting with you, Lauren even cancelled her plans to meet with other celebrants, certain that we could not find anyone better. We will give you the highest recommendation, not just on the back of our own personal opinion of you, but also based on the superlative comments we received from people who didn't know you from a bar of soap…

KIRBY + CRAIG

Sally, you are beyond amazing. Your level of professionalism balanced with your personable and bubbly nature was seamlessly perfect.   It felt like we had known you for years. Your attention to detail on the smallest things made the biggest differences to a regular celebrant. We cannot continue to thank-you enough...

..You truly are the best of the best and we felt like you were so much more than a celebrant (cough, cough… 5th bridesmaid).

SARAH + BARTON

We wanted to shoot you an email and thank you for an incredible ceremony. You were so fantastic and professional leading up to, and on the day of the wedding, we felt like we hit the jackpot of celebrants!

We also received many compliments about you after the ceremony! We had the most beautiful day, so thank you for being so wonderful, it truly could not have gone any better.

ADA + TIM

Dearest Sally

Thank you for your love and dedication towards our big day. 

You are truly a master of your craft.

Lots of love. xx

LIA + DAVID

Sally, we just wanted to express an enormous thank you for making our wedding even more magical than we could have dreamed.

You were such a special part of our beautiful day and we are so grateful to you for creating a ceremony which was personal, warm, professional, serious, humorous and heartfelt all at once.

We loved and embraced your suggestion of including our family and friends at the conclusion of the ceremony, which ensured that all of our guests felt involved.

Our family and friends all continue to comment on how well you captured our story which was so meaningful.

We could not imagine our wedding day without you, thank you for everything.

JOSIE + SIMON

We really can't thank you enough for the wonderful ceremony on Saturday. You were absolutely in control of everything, from giving the bridal party a pep talk, to making sure that DJ PhilmoreButts knew what to do and when. The ceremony was really a big hit, we have been told by everyone, both on the day and since, that they loved how personal it was and that it was all about us and that you did such an amazing job.

...We really love this photo of us during the ceremony.  That is exactly how we hoped we'd feel on the day and with your expertise and guidance we did it!

...Again, thank you very much.  We wish we could do it all over again!

JEN + JARMON

Sal, we had the most amazing day, which began perfectly with our ceremony. We both felt it was just beautiful, emotional and heartfelt, exactly as we'd hoped, and it's thanks to you that we were able to achieve this. My mum and Jarmon's dad both specifically commented on just how lovely the ceremony was. I certainly couldn't hold back the emotions as we read our vows, and you conducted it all and helped us through so wonderfully and seamlessly...

... Thank you once again Sal, for delivering what was a truly wonderful and memorable wedding for us, and the perfect start to our married lives!
 

BETHANY + JUSTIN

Sal, thank you so much for everything you did for us. We had such a good day and as soon as I saw you before the ceremony I felt calm and relaxed and ready to stand up in front of  everyone!

I think I laughed through the whole ceremony which is going to ruin a lot of the photos but I had fun and really enjoyed it. After so many months of feeling anxious and nervous about the big day I actually had such a great time. Justin said you were very sweet (and prepared) to help him with his suit after someones make up smudged over it before the ceremony (Haha) and I you were there to calm him down before the ceremony as he was very nervous!  …Thank you again for everything you did for us. We are so lucky to have had you conduct our ceremony and you really made it a special day. We got so many compliments about you and how you ran the ceremony.

ROXY + XU

Lovely lovely Sally,

Thank you so, so much for being our celebrant! There's no one more perfect than you! You are just so good at what you do, and we felt so comfortable working with you. I loved your pink and black dress too!!...

We think you are simply the best out there....

GEORGINA + SZYMON

Sally, we are so privileged to have had you conduct our ceremony and officiate our marriage.

We knew right away we wanted you to be our celebrant just by speaking to you over the phone and after having met you for the first time, we did not even had to re-think or hesitate our decision and were more than happy to go proceed right away.

Perhaps it was your calming voice or your friendly personality. Whatever it was, we knew that we would be in great hands and you didn't disappoint at all. In fact you went above and beyond and delivered us the perfect ceremony that my all guests are raving about.

You made the whole process so seamless and a breeze all while being so ever patient with our very slow response from the very beginning. You have been nothing short of amazing and so supportive. So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Sal!

AMANDA + SIMON

It was an honour and our pleasure having you there being a part of our special day, you were outstanding and did a fantastic job throughout the journey and we wouldn't have chosen anyone else.

We wanted to thank you for all your hardwork and efforts you put in ensuring the day was absolutely perfect for us, from tweaking our vows, to rehesaring in your hallway, to fixing our button holes, everything you did showed us how much you cared in making the day the way we wanted. Your passion was nothing short of inspirational, the way you control the ceremony and helped where ever was needed was amazing and much appreciated. All of our loved ones commented on how amazing you were!  The gift was the least you deserve!

Once again, thank you for everything Sal. You have been tremendous to work with and hopefully we can speak soon!

EMMA + PAUL

Thank you Sally! Words cannot describe how thankful Paul and I are that we chose you as our celebrant. We had an amazing time and so did everyone who attended. You made everything effortless and amazing!

STACY + ALEX

Sally, having you as our celebrant was one of the best decisions we made. After our first meeting it was clear that you shared our vision and understood exactly what we wanted for our special day. You used that vision and carried it through the whole ceremony. You took the time to get to know us and our relationship and as you read stories and anecdotes of our relationship they were warm, friendly and genuine. Your ceremony set-up our whole event, creating the exact vibe we wanted and our guests still to this day comment on how great the ceremony was. We can not recommended you highly enough.

JESS + ROB

We had seen Sally in action a couple of times and knew we had to have her as our celebrant.  We even based our wedding date around Sally’s available dates!  I know I can be a stress head at times but I knew I was in great hands with Sally as she is so professional in every way which put my mind at ease.  We couldn’t recommend Sally more highly as she tailored a fun, personable and relaxed ceremony to suit us.

TAYLA + TODD

Thank you so very much!   Sally, we loved you from the moment we met you! We felt like you understood us straight away and we were impressed with your very prompt emails.

EVERYONE commented on how amazing you were and how it made the day and we agree couldn’t agree more! It was a perfect ceremony.

Once again we can not thank you enough.

ADRIANA + ANDREW

My now-husband and I were in a unique situation in that our original celebrant unfortunately had an accident a week before our wedding day. Sally came to our rescue and volunteered to perform the ceremony for us.

Sally could not have been more supportive and empathetic in our time of need. Upon meeting Sally for the first time just days before our wedding day - she greeted us literally with open, loving arms and expressed how sorry she was that we were in that situation. She assured us that she would do everything in her power to ensure that we had an amazing ceremony and day.
.
Well, Sally stuck by her word and we were absolutely blown away by how amazing she actually was (and is!). She incorporated every bit of our personalities in our ceremony and made the entire rest of the evening such a memorable time for both of us. We could not of been happier to have the support of such an amazing celebrant and person. The fact that we had never met Sally previously, yet were treated like we had planned to have her from the very beginning, truly showed her selfless and beautiful caring nature.  We will be recommending her to all our family and friends moving forward and hope she continues to make others as happy as she has made us.

VERITY + JAVIER

Sal, we  honestly don't know how to put into words how amazing you are. You absolutely nailed it.

So, so, so many guests came up to us and said you were just incredible.  A number of friends said, “how good was the celebrant!”, “she really set the tone” and “what a modern wedding that was…..  I’ve never seen that before”.
 
Thanks so much for making it truly the best day of our lives!  We can't thank you and recommend you enough xxx

SARAH + DARKO

Hey Sal,

Thank you once again for all that you did and the massive effort you went to make our ceremony such good and memorable one.

We had many comments, and we both feel that the ceremony was the stand-out part of our whole night; something we would have never had without you!

So many people commented how great you were and one even said that he’d been to other weddings and didn’t really think the celebrant made much of a difference, but he was so surprised as to how much it really does! He gave you heaps of praise and further proof that you were absolutely amazing with us!

CATE + SAM

Hi Sal.  We are incredibly thankful that you were our celebrant. You've always been so welcoming, friendly and an absolute perfectionist! From the late evenings, welcoming us to your own home, rewriting the story and taking us through the whole process plus finishing off with the beautiful card you left us as well with our ceremony booklet - it was touching and so much more then we would have hoped. Going "above and beyond" almost doesn't cover it, you've been phenomenal from start to finish.

Fixing Sam's flower was a miracle after the florist had gone. As well as that, Sam was even saying before the ceremony even started you were getting the ciggie butts out of the garden yourself!! True dedication to making our day perfect and we are so grateful to you for all your time and efforts.

Once again, thank you for everything. It means the world to us at the start our our married life together.

PS. And Sam's flower held up fine all day!! Yay!

CHRISTABEL + RYAN

We just want to say a very HUGE thank you for our beautiful ceremony. We received many comments from our friends and family saying how fantastic you were, noting that it felt like you had known us for years. It was meaningful, intimate and very special. Thank you!

FROM THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

...Sally, I just wanted to say --- you are wow. You made it really special. You were across everything, and you had this amazing way of being familiar yet making it clear that you don't know them -- (so many times the person talks like they have known the people for ages). You are elegant and lovely and you set the tone and the atmosphere and you adapted to the ceremony having to be inside and you made me relax to see it in your hands. I hung off every word you said because it was so well put together, too. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wedding would not have been the wedding it was without you. So thank you.

CHRIS + ANDREW

Hello Sally! We can't say thank you enough for the well curated and delivered ceremony. It was everything we had hoped for and we received amazing feedback from our families and friends. In particular the main comment was that they were engaged, entertained, felt a part of the family! Many of which said best ceremony ever, which is a testament to your professionalism to tell our story!

The room was stunning and the way you used the space - at a last moment change - was spectacular.

…Again, we cannot thank you enough for the amazing ceremony and how much we enjoyed working with you over the last few months. …We enjoyed every step, every bit of guidance and patience, it truly made the wedding ceremony journey memorable. We will share this with our family too, who were just as impressed as we were! 

KARY + DAVE

Sal, we cannot thank you enough for your services on our big day! As I have already mentioned, we have had so much positive feedback about our ceremony and our amazing celebrant! You were very well prepared and presented and everyone loved getting involved. …We can't thank you enough for everything you did.

ALEXANDRA + JAKE

Sally, you were one of the best decisions we made whilst planning and having our wedding. We have told so many people about you and you really did make our life a million times easier during the whole process. Thank you so much!

CATE + ADAM

Sal, you were just amazing. The commentary we’ve received on your professionalism, excitement and genuine interest in our wedding just goes to show what a standout you are…

We have had such rave reviews of you - "best celebrant ever", "best wedding I’ve been to", "couldn’t have a better celebrant", and our personal favourite from someone who is in entertainment - "you held that room together the whole time and had us all go up and down together, that’s masterful".

...There’s just no one who can do, what you do, like you do. That, we’re sure.

SALLY + JOSH

Sally, it was not a difficult decision to choose you as our Celebrant. The ceremony was incredibly important to us and we needed someone who was going to demonstrate professionalism and care. Your reputation suggested you were right for us. You exceeded our expectations.

Many of our guest commented on you specifically and said your humour and style reflected us perfectly. …Apparently we got everyone crying but also laughing so we think you hit the "romantic and humorous" brief on the head!

You looked gorgeous and your smile was appreciated while we awaited the big ceremony. Your Type A attention to detail personality is exactly like ours (haha) and so it was great to have you take care of all the little things.

ANNALIECE + ALEKSANDAR

We would just like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contributions to our special day. You were absolutely fabulous and we couldn’t have done it without you. You showed such dedication and passion and we are truly blessed that the universe led us to you. You’re truly a wonderful soul. xxx

LEE + JASON

Sally you are incredible! We were so happy as soon as we met you and you exceeded all of our expectations. Our guests all commented on how fantastic you were. Thank you for making our ceremony so special! 

JESS + ED

Hi Sal. Thank you so much! Wow! We couldn't have been more thrilled and grateful to have you be a part of our special day. You definitely nailed 'friendly not familiar' brief but also the warm, confident and engaging. You wove together our story in a genuine and entertaining way, and found fun ways of involving our guests, making them part of the ceremony. Every guest we spoke to thought you were fabulous! 

…Thanks so much Sal, we really appreciate the energy you put into composing and conducting the ceremony. Just fabulous.

ZOE + DAN

Sally is simply the best! She created the most warm and engaging atmosphere during our ceremony which was the highlight of our day. She thinks of everything and manages all aspects of the ceremony from start to finish masterfully, not to mention what a joy she is to work with in the lead up to the big day. Thank you Sally!

JOSIE + MATT

If you want a celebrant that will be there from the start to finish, fully committed and will wow your socks off, you MUST book Sally Hughes! Guests commented on how the ceremony was the best they’ve been to. Sally doesn’t just read a bit of paper out - she engages with the bridal party and the audience. If you want to kick your married life off with the best possible people, I promise you Sally is your gal!

MELISSA + JED

Sally, you are absolutely amazing!! From the moment we met you we were blown away by how relaxed and funny you are. You were the perfect fit for us! You made everything so smooth and easy for us in the lead up to the wedding and on our big day! You had all of us at the ceremony in tears or in fits of laughter. All of our guests raved about how great you were and we were so grateful that we had you to share our love story and make it official!

LISA + EUGEN

We saw Sally at the first wedding we went to following our engagement and we immediately knew she was the one. Fearing that we’d miss out otherwise, we locked Sally in even before we found a wedding venue!

Sally was a dream to work with leading up to the wedding. She accommodated our busy work schedules, answered every question big and small and reassured us that she’d be there to take care of everything on the day. Everything ran so smoothly on the day. The ceremony was warm, engaging and equal parts laughter and tears. We received countless compliments and praise from our guests, and everyone thought Sally did an outstanding job.

KATE + ROB

Sal,

Where do we even start? We are just now getting a moment to sit back and think about the incredible weekend we just had, and the huge part you played in making it so fantastic. Everyone thought you were amazing (obviously), and you gave us a ceremony that we will remember and cherish forever. We feel so lucky to have had you working your magic on our wedding day.

Thank you again xx

KAT + THEO

Hi Sal. Oh we had such a fantastic time!  Everyone we have spoken to has truly raved about how unique and personal our ceremony was- and we couldn't agree more!!!  We have attended quite a few weddings now and the way that you made everyone feel so comfortable, at ease and included was just amazing!! We would love to see you win that award again   Thank you again!

LAUREN + BRENT

Brent and I can’t thank you enough for all that you did for us! We had such a wonderful day and received many compliments about the ceremony. Thank you again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

KATHY + MUNAD

Sally, you were the highlight of our wedding!  Thanks once again for being so amazing and exceeding our expectations in every way! We had such a wonderful time and everything was perfect - thank you for all your hard work. We are so glad we picked you as our celebrant and many guests were singing your praises as well.

KAREN + ANDREW

Sally is a true professional. We had a clear vision of what we wanted our ceremony (and celebrant) to be - relaxed but sincere, joyous but not theatrical. Sally hit the brief perfectly and without ego, delivered a ceremony that respected and executed our wishes in a very genuine way. Thanks so much Sally x

KAZ + MATT

Sally... you were amazing!!  We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant.  You made our day!!

Beautifully done, with humour, romance and emotion. We loved the way you put our day together.

The times we met face to face, leading up to the event was appreciated, and the way you deconstructed our story to engage our family and friends in fun banter made the whole wedding experience memorable.

Love your work!

VANESSA + JORDAN

Thank you again Sally. We appreciate everything that you did for us. You helped make our day meaningful and special. 

BRIONY + MATT

We don’t know where to begin to thank you Sally.  You were INCREDIBLE... NAILED IT! 

We kid you not, we had heaps of our guests saying how amazing you were. You had them captivated. Our families LOVED YOU. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We’re glad you were a part of our special day and ongoing story. 

ASH + NAM

Hi Sal!

Oh my God!. You were amazing!  Everyone absolutely loved the ceremony and thought you delivered it so well. Apparently, not too many dry eyes there or for the family that joined on zoom. Mission accomplished!

I couldn't believe it was us getting married right there and then. The atmosphere felt just right and we felt from our first meeting you just got us, and our sense of humour and it really showed that day. We sincerely thank you so much as you made it so unforgettable for us.

…Thanks again for being so great, you're really very amazing at your job and we're so lucky to have had you there.

MONICA + LIAM

Sally Hughes is flawless!

She organised our ceremony perfectly, we did not have to stress about anything as we knew she would take care of it. She even managed to rescue my boutonnière when it broke off, she took a rose from one of our decorations and fashioned a new one for me.

Our ceremony was unfortunately hit by unexpected rain and she helped us switch the location to be undercover seamlessly and re organise our seating chart. Could not recommend anyone else more!

JENNY + DAMIEN

Words cannot explain how much we appreciate and loved Sal! (Thank you so much Sal!) 

When we were looking for a Celebrant, we wanted someone who would reflect us and help us get married in style! 

Firstly, her personality was what stood out to us. She is so kind, happy and calm (which is what we needed). We knew this is the type of person we needed by our side. 

Secondly, her professionalism and expertise was unbelievable. She was prepared for all situations and made it soo easy for us. All we had to do was follow her direction and we were set. We loved that! 

Finally, having her presence by our side on the actual day gave us that support we never realised we needed. She created an atmosphere at our ceremony that captured our relationship perfectly. Highly recommend Sal if anyone needs a Celebrant!

JESS + SIMON

Hey Sal! 

Thank you so so much for everything you did to make our day so special! 

We couldn’t imagine anyone else doing your role, and every single one of our guests had great words to say about you and our ceremony:) 

I know you’re naturally that lovely but it felt like a lifelong friend doing our ceremony, so what more could you want!

Thanks again and talk soon! xx

FRAN + JAMES

Thank you so much for everything on Saturday.  You made this process so easy, and you made us feel safe and settled every step of the way.  We love your attention to detail -  like the bound copy of the script, which was so nice to receive.

…The way you quickly problem solved the music issue and got us back on track was so impressive to watch, like watching a great musician play.  You planned everything out for us so carefully and made our day so easy…

… so much of the rest of our wedding ended up being based on your suggestions, and when people complimented us on how the whole thing went (which happened a lot) we could genuinely say that it was all down to you. We owe you a huge debt for making our day so perfect.  So thank you.

ANGELA + GIORDANO

Sally is very sincere and genuine! She knows exactly how to make a simple and intimate wedding ceremony unforgettable and magical.

She gets to know her clients, listens to what we want and gives wonderful suggestions all the while making it personal. She makes the process very easy and enjoyable!

EMILY + IVAN

Sally was a phenomenal celebrant. She guided us through the entire process with lots of great suggestions and wisdom but also made it really fun along the way which took away our nerves.

On the day itself, Sally was a pro. She had taken the time to get to know us and curated the ceremony to be exactly what we had hoped for; personal, witty, romantic and fun. She talked us and our bridal party through each step without anyone being any none-the-wiser so it looked completely seamless.

I was so nervous but as soon as Sally started the ceremony, my nerves disappeared. She presented confidently, had banter with the bridal party and her jokes landed so well! Many of our guests told us it was the best ceremony they had been to.

We laughed, we cried and loved every second of it. It set the tone for the whole day.

We would highly recommend Sally. She’s a superstar and an absolute pleasure to share the most important part of the day with.

CHRISTINA + DANIEL

Thank you so so much! you were the talk of the guests. Everyone had such great things to say about the ambiance you created, the way you make everyone feel relaxed and prepared and how professional you are. 

LIZ + JOHNO

Sally was exceptional from the initial meeting: she made us laugh and walk away with confidence, knowing we'd made the right choice. The structure and guidance she gives you prior to your special day is thorough and clear. 

We cannot fault her professionalism on the day and her aura was warm and involved the crowd. She made it exciting and it was clear that she took the time to get to know us and why we were getting married. She is so genuine she even stopped to help fix my dad's buttonhole before he walked me down the aisle. It just goes to show what an impact she made, when so many of our guests have commented to us since, on the amazing job she did. 

Thanks so much, Sally, for everything you've done for us, everything was perfect.

ALICIA + TIM

Wow, where do we even begin? 

Thank you so much for being so unbelievably incredible in the lead up and on the day. We could not have wished for a more creative, organised, personable and just downright amazing celebrant to marry us. 

We got so many compliments on how the ceremony was just so very US. 

We're very lucky!  xx

DEM + JONO

Sally, you were such a dream to work with and we could not fault anything you did. You are incredibly warm, understanding, compassionate and very professional.

Nothing we asked of you was ever too much, even with four wedding dates due to covid. We are forever grateful that we had you by our side throughout the three-year process.

You also brought your years of experience and composure to our most important day and everything unfolded just as we’d planned.

You were a perfect part of a perfect day!

Lots of love Dem and Jono xx

LAURA + ALEX

Sally, thank you so so much for doing such an amazing job conducting our ceremony on Sunday! We have had nothing but compliments the entire night and all week about how fantastic you were and that it was the most engaging ceremony our guests have been too! We loved every minute of it and had the best day!…

…Once again thank you so much Sally you were amazing!

ISLA + SEAN

Thank you so much for being one of the best parts of our day. You were absolutely phenomenal and helped set the tone for the entire evening. You helped us both stay calm and relaxed throughout the ceremony while simultaneously making guests laugh hysterically. The balance of humour and sincerity was perfect.

We had a tonne of people come up asking about you and telling us that you were amazing! They were so impressed. We were truly honoured to have you be a part of our big day…

…Thanks for everything Sal, you're truly a wonderful and remarkable person and we couldn't be more chuffed with how things went. 

MONIQUE + JAYSON

From the moment we met Sally, she was kind, honest, helpful, and so warm and welcoming to both my husband and I. The first day we met her in person at her beautiful home, she opened up her front door, arms outstretched and gave us both the biggest bear hug! Just talking to her, we felt like we'd known her for years.

Sally is always extremely organised, relaxed, and has the best sense of humour. We honestly felt at ease because Sally had things covered from very early on in our wedding planning and always listened and was happy to fix or edit her script if we had any changes or suggestions in mind.

On the day of our wedding, Sally gave us the most beautiful ceremony! The very words she spoke were so thoughtful and beautiful and so well crafted. All throughout our wedding reception our guests kept telling us how fantastic Sally was and that she was one of, if not, the best celebrant they had ever seen at a wedding! We couldn't be happier to have chosen Sally as our celebrant, truly. She put all her time and energy into the smallest of details and getting to know us both. Sally is an absolute delight to work with and someone worth getting to know. My husband and I are both so grateful to her for everything she has done for us.

NIKITA + JOHN

From start to finish, Sally Hughes has made both my wife and I absolutely comfortable. Her organisational skills are unmatched and her way with words really transcend into the realm of eloquence and artistry!

Sally exudes a sense of warmth and genuine care in her role as a celebrant, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a memorable and meaningful ceremony. Sally's guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, providing us with an experience that surpassed all expectations!

HIROKO + SAKI

Dear Sally,

We would like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful services on our wedding day last Tuesday.  You have been amazing from the moment we first met online, and made the whole process so comfortable, reassuring and easy at the in-person meeting and during all the follow-ups via email.

Your storytelling at the ceremony was fantastic, and everyone who attended it commented how welcoming and heartwarming it was. We also appreciate your help in writing vows, and with the added support for non-English speakers.

We feel so lucky that we've come across your profile and that you were available on our special day :) Thank you so much for making us feel special and well-cared for. We could not have had such a wonderful day without you. We also appreciate the script you gave us, and the lovely card you took time to write to us.

Thank you once again, and we wish you a continuous successful career ahead, with many more happy and lucky couples coming your way.

Sincerely, with love x

CAMERON + SHAYNE

From our very first meeting, we knew we didn’t need to look any further—Sally’s warmth and inviting personality had us sold right away. Her meticulous preparation and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the planning process, we felt completely at ease and genuinely enjoyed working with Sally as she got to know us and crafted a ceremony that reflected our story.

The ceremony itself was seamless and beautifully delivered. Our guests were truly moved and mentioned how unique and memorable it felt, unlike any other wedding they’d attended.

Thank you, Sally, for making our day so extraordinary!
