“It seems an impossible task to adequately express my appreciation for Chris in writing.
From the very first call with Chris, my partner and I both knew that there would be no better fit for us, and we are so glad that Chris played such a pivotal role in making our day extra special. Throughout the process Chris quickly responded to all questions we had, provided sound advice and gave us a lot of great ideas that were incorporated into our day.
Our friends and family all really loved Chris and commented that the ceremony he conducted was beautiful, funny and reflected us as a couple. Chris handled a couple of unexpected challenges extremely professionally and kept on with the show and didn’t allow it to interrupt the ceremony at all.
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone on the hunt for a celebrant and I’m so glad to have found Chris.”
“Chris was the perfect fit to help us craft a unique and authentic ceremony. He was a pure professional right from the outset, organised and taking the time to get to know us and what our vibe would be for the big day. He’s a great speaker and a reassurring presence rolling with anything that comes up. He even coordinated on the day when 90yo grandparents were running late, he knew we wouldn’t want them to miss any of the ceremony and arranged with our planner to delay starting until they’d arrived. It was such a non issue in the end thanks to Chris’ calm and proactive approach and of course the grandparents didn’t miss anything which was so important for us. Heaps of our guests raved it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they’d attended-big thanks to Chris! We’d recommend him without hesitation. ”

“Chris was the perfect choice of celebrant for our intimate wedding. He was 100% open to and respectful of our wishes for how the ceremony and day would proceed. He was also particularly patient with our evolving and last minute plans. His words and the ceremony itself were exactly what we wished for, and we received numerous compliments on our choice of celebrant for the day. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you once again from us both, Chris.”
“Thanks to Chris our special day was made extra special. The wedding ceremony had the perfect balance of professionalism, care and humor. Chris made the effort to get to know us to give the ceremony a personal touch, he let the day be about us and he had great ideas to make it better. We have had a number of our family and friends mention what a great job he did. We couldn’t be happier with how it all went. Thank you Chris!”
“Chris was incredible from the very beginning. He’s inclusive and highly communicative. He was transparent about the process and guided us through the process step by step. We felt well informed and had full trust in Chris and his approach. He shared a survey with us in the lead up which provided much personalised content for the ceremony and provided advice on our vows I loved the way he made us both shine on the day, and the relaxed, humourous and loving atmosphere he created for us and all our guests. We couldn’t recommend Chris more. If you’re considering a celebrant that cares about you, he is the one. Thank you Chris, for making our day so special.”
“Working in the events industry and having planned countless weddings, Chris was absolutely faultless as our celebrant. He had our guests and ourselves in stiches as well as tears of happiness with his well-researched and completely personalised delivery. We had multiple guests remark on how this was the best ceremony they have ever been a part of and I can confidently say, this is in large part to Chris and the effort he made in ensuring he knew our story, able to articulate it perfectly so that everyone felt involved in our journey to date. Can’t recommend him more as this is without a doubt deserving of a 10 star review!”
“Ours was an international wedding and Chris handled it magnificently. No problema with 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen and the bride arriving by boat! Chris had it beautifully structured and we were still had room for spontaneity like Chris asking the 100 guests to gather on the shoreline to wave to the arriving boat. Many, many compliments from family and friends about Chris’ faultless and heartfelt words. Small touches like an introduction in Spanish were much appreciated. Legal documents and translations were all handled effortlessly and Chris delivered big time on the day. Always knew we were in safe hands and Chris made it fun. Muchas gracias guapo! Clinton and Valeria.”
““We had a ceremony with all the bells and whistles - detailed intro, story telling, legal stuff, personal vows, hand fasting, rings etc - Chris performed the ceremony so wonderfully that people continually comment on how beautiful and perfect it was for our day. He was intuitive to the situation and people, which made the day run smoothly. From first meeting Chris, he was easy to deal with and always fit into our schedule for catch ups. We highly recommend Chris. “”
“Chris made our day so special. From the day we started working with him, we never worried about any of the legal aspect of our wedding. He also MC’d our wedding and it was so much fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant or MC. He was amazing. Very polite and professional whilst still feeling like a close friend I very highly recommend him to everyone”
“Chris gave us a ceremony that was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We received alot of feedback from our guests that said it was the most incredible, personable and loving ceremony they had ever been apart of. Tegan and myself couldnt recommend Chris enough, he wasn’t just a small part of our day, his impact was massive. Thankyou Chris, we will be forever grateful!”
“Chris is the most incredible love interpreter! He delivered the most personalised ceremony that all our guests commented suited us to a tee. Easy to work with and great communication. We could not be happier with our choice!.”
“Chris is absolutely the best marriage celebrant. He is professional, supportive, and humorous! We had several meetings with Chris before our wedding day, which helped us to get more familiar with the schedule on the day and all the legal parts. We are especially thankful for his Chinese service, which enabled our non-English speaking family and friends to feel involved during the ceremony. We had the best experience with Chris White. Highly recommended!.”
“If you are after someone stress-free and easy going, Chris is the person for you. He was never pushy about anything, very easy to talk to and put together such a fantastic ceremony for us. He knew what kind of ceremony to put on for us and our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. We spoke to quite a few celebrants and in the end we knew Chris fit in with us and what we wanted. ”
“Chris is fantastic! Chris delved in and asked us so many great questions to understand our relationship. He put together such a beautiful ceremony that so perfectly represented my wife and I. He was welcoming and open and provided a very calming nature to what can be a very emotional day. Chris gave off genuine happiness and love in the way he spoke and described our relationship to the point it seemed like we’d known him for more than just a short time. His Acknowledgement of Country was lovely and respectful and went beyond the basic. He was also extremely respectful in photos –wanting to make my wife and I the focus, the other great thing is he looks heaps dapper in a suit so he only enhances the photos he’s in. Thank you Chris, from start to finish you were brilliant and we are so grateful we found you.”
“Chris was more than a celebrant to us - he was our friend. His approach to actually knowing a couple he’s involved with was so personal, and he made our special day so memorable, that I couldn’t be prouder and happier having him officiate my partner and me.”
“Chris was the best! We couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He made the whole process so easy and so many people at our wedding came up to us after the ceremony saying how great he had been.

“Chris was so easy to talk to and he was very helpful in walking us through the entire process - including some suggestions for the timing of different elements of the day. He was so friendly and interested in our wedding, he was really a part of the wedding and not just a service provider. His method of asking us questions and then building a story for our guests from the information we provided him was delightful and we had an amazing surprise on the day as we were hearing the ceremony for the first time with our guests. It was a fun, relaxed day - exactly what we wanted. ”

He has a wealth of knowledge that made us feel at ease throughout the whole process, and helped us craft our perfect wedding day, bringing our vision to life.

We can’t thank you enough Chris, you are exceptional at what you do.”
“Chris has been amazing throughout our entire wedding and marriage process. Chris had open communication and was easy to work with. He had great experience with a variety of previous weddings so his expertise was welcomed when planning our ceremony and how it would all work together.

I’m so grateful for Chris for making my ceremony stress free and meaningful, absolutely highly recommend.”

From our first meeting, Chris exuded warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for his work. He took the time to get to know us, understand our story, and tailor the ceremony to reflect our personalities and love for each other.
On the day of the wedding, Chris was punctual, well-prepared, and impeccably dressed.

Our guests were equally impressed, many commenting on how beautifully Chris spoke and how personal and heartfelt the ceremony felt.

Chris is friendly, professional, funny, organised, calm, personable and understanding, which all came across in how he worked with us throughout the process to plan our ceremony and the script he created and presented for us. He was flexible in meeting with us and communicating via email whenever necessary, and he went above and beyond to help plan a wedding ceremony from overseas with many resources, ideas and advice to guide us.
