I just wanted to drop you a note to say a massive thank you.
We had originally no thoughts of having a celebrant conduct our ceremony until you stopped us at the wedding fayre.
It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
The ceremony and the whole day in general far exceeded any and all of our expectations.
We are still in a dream bubble. You made the ceremony one we shall forever cherish, as will our guests going by the amount of positive comments we received.
Thank you for being so patient with me, I hope I didn’t panic you by not reading from the script – Julie was definitely concerned!!
We will be recommending you to anyone who is in need of someone to lead a service of any kind.
I’d highly recommend Lesley if you are looking for a celebrant for your wedding. She was with us every step of the way, from the time we booked her to the actual day. No question was too daft. Lesley produced a wonderful ceremony that was very personal. Everyone said how lovely the whole ceremony had been.
We recently used Lesley for our wedding ceremony, she was very helpful throughout the build up to the wedding with visits to discuss the ceremony we wanted and regular emails to check in on how our progress was offering help along the way.
Highly recommend if you are wanting a more personalised ceremony
Thank you again Lesley
We are thrilled that we entrusted the officiation of our wedding ceremony a few weeks ago to Lesley of Practically Perfect Ceremonies. From the initial video call, subsequent questionnaire and face to face meeting, Lesley enthusiastically accommodated all of our wishes and took great care to create a script and plan for our wedding day that had just the feel that we wanted. Lesley’s expertise was of great benefit in guiding us through the process, and importantly, she made it fun, both during the preparation and also during the ceremony itself. Lesley’s contribution to the smooth running of our ceremony was greatly appreciated and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to get in touch with Lesley to discuss their requirements.
Lesley was absolutely brilliant from first contact to following up after our wedding day! We knew as soon as we met Lesley that she was going to create a perfect ceremony for us and that’s exactly what she did! Lesley listened to exactly what we wanted and created a ceremony that exactly represented us as a couple! Even when I threw in a last minute reading Lesley wasn’t fazed at all and made it happen seamlessly! Even on the day when the wind was not on our side Lesley held the ceremony without a hitch! We would absolutely recommend Lesley to anyone, she’s super professional, kind, thoughtful and so well organised! She spent so much time with us and the venue and the photographer to make sure everything came together. We’re so grateful for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect, you captured our love for each other and sense of humour perfectly and our guests were so impressed! They all loved the ceremony as much as we did so thank you so much Lesley!
We chose Lesley as our celebrant to lead us through the proceedings of my mothers natural burial and memorial service. She was caring and thoughtful in the lead-up, helping us to get our thoughts together collectively. On the day itself, I couldn’t have been happier with the way in which she conducted proceedings. She had taken clear note of my mothers character based upon our explanations, and used this to speak in a familiar manner. Lesley spoke clearly, yet in a comforting way that helped us through the day. While it is not an easy event to be a party to, Lesley was an essential element in what made the day exactly what my mother would have wanted. Thank you Lesley.
Beautifully. led by Leslie. Although all contributions were family or choral, her leadership flexibility and handholding support was essential and caring, especially when. 10 year old grandchild insisted at last minute on reading the poem. Recommended.
Lesley was a wonderful celebrant at our mother’s recent funeral service, and we were so grateful for the way everything came together. Her friendly, thoughtful, and professional approach was deeply appreciated. She guided and shaped the service with care and sensitivity, taking the time to understand our wishes and to get to know our mum through us. As a result, the ceremony felt just right — personal, heartfelt, and meaningful. Many people commented on what a beautiful service it was, and we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting tribute.
