Additionally, as Sam is also a wedding planner it is possible for her to advise on all aspects of the wedding and order of the day.

Sam’s eye for detail, creative flair, patience and calming nature, made her an absolute dream to work with. We have had so many compliments from friends and family on how personal, memorable and fun our ceremony was. It incorporated our personalities and relationship perfectly and surpassed our expectations. We cannot thank Sam enough for everything she did to make our wedding day so special, she truly went above and beyond. A real-life fairy godmother!

Sam did an absolutely fantastic job
Sam did an absolutely fantastic job as celebrant for our wedding. She took time to get to know us, through face to face meetings, and rather fun questionnaires, with which she wrote and delivered a ceremony that was both funny and touching. She absolutely nailed the brief! All of our guests agreed that the ceremony was wonderful with hardly a dry eye in the house. Sam really goes above and beyond what I had expected from a celebrant: We have no hesitation in recommending Sam. She was wonderful!

She was just fab start to finish.
As well as delivering a beautiful, funny ceremony that had many guests in happy tears, Sam was discreet, calm and professional, & managed to be everywhere all at once coordinating groomsmen, kids, confetti shots, photos, & setting up tables beautifully, all with a huge smile on her face! She was just fab start to finish. Sam spent so much time making sure everything was just right. As the recommended celebrant for our venue, Sam had lots of insight we found valuable during our planning.

If you do one thing for your wedding book Sam,
Sam perfectly put together and articulated our ceremony to bring through us as a couple. She helped us pick readings, write our vows and was the end of the phone for any late night wedding thought! Every guest after the ceremony commented on how special a ceremony was, and so many people say it was the highlight of their day. It was so personal, different and engaging and we couldn't have asked for anything more. If you do one thing for your wedding book Sam, it was the best decision we made.

Sam made our wedding extraordinary
Where to begin? Sam made our wedding extraordinary. Her custom celebration made our guests laugh, cry, clap and cheer and she weaved so many aspects of who we are into the day. She’s way, way more than a celebrant and we have so much love for her for making our special day incredible. Highly recommended.

The best money spent on our wedding
The best money spent on our Wedding was the services of Samantha at SDCelebrations! She is a perfectionist who ensured our day went without a single hitch from making sure all the candles were lit at dusk to ensuring the bride & groom had bottles of water in the car for after the service. Things that you wouldn’t consider that make a huge difference on the day. If you are having a marquee wedding you WILL need help & I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you for everything & for making our Wedding perfect.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I once had a bride on roller skates!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Sam is professional, supportive, calm under pressure, & will take the time to ensure that everyone involved in the wedding is comfortable within their role.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I get to help couples celebrate their love in whatever way is important to them.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Listen to the advice from the experts who have done this before and let them help guide your decisions.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

For one outside wedding that I conducted. The bridesmaids didn’t carry flowers. They carried the couples tiny dogs down the aisle instead! They looked so cute!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Many of my couples start with saying that they have no idea when to begin so are looking for direction, advice and support. Reassurance is key that even if you are unsure of what to do that I have it all in hand, and I will support and advise you both during the lead up to the wedding day with as much guidance and suggestions as you need. I initially talk through the rough structure of a ceremony and then am on hand to encourage you to share with me your personal story for me to compose into your unique script. I choose to do this in the style of a questionnaire that can be filled out in your own time. I only need one questionnaire in order to get started on your ceremony, so don’t feel that you have to wait for your fiancé to finish theirs! Further down the planning line I am also that all important impartial party who can read each person’s personalised vows and help coach them until they balance in length and content.

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

You may not have gotten married before, but trust in my experience and knowledge to support you on this exciting journey, I’ve worked on hundreds of weddings.

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

For me its when the bride walks down the aisle, it's a goosebump moment every time!
