Testimonials
Ian and I were both extremely happy with Philip Holland. We are currently living in Singapore and when we decided to get married the most convenient date for us only gave us just on four weeks to organize everything . I found Philip through his site on the internet and contacted him whilst I was traveling and I was extremely busy. Philip made it really easy for me and we set up an appointment for the day I arrived back in Australia for a quick trip. Ian did not get back till the day before the wedding - none of this phased Philip and he arranged to meet with Ian just prior to the ceremony to finalise the paperwork. This was all very helpful to us as we have such busy lives. On the day he was the perfect celebrant. He was there when needed and set the appropriate tone. He made us the centre of attention and had the right balance of humor and respect for the importance of the occasion.
We had a number of comments from our guests as to how impressed they were with Philip’s performance including a couple who have been to four weddings in the past ten months and they said he was the best they had seen.
On the Monday following the wedding Philip filed the paperwork immediately so we could get the legal papers asap as we were leaving the country. We really appreciated his speed and efficiency. I could not have asked for a better outcome - if I had the time I would have interviewed a number of celebrants however I had to take the risk of finding someone off the internet knowing when we met I didn’t have time to find anyone else. It all worked out so incredibly well as Philip did such a good job and I am sure I would have picked him anyway. Thank you Philip so much for making it such a special day for us.

We are so very glad to have found you and definitely think you provided so much more depth and enjoyment to our wedding. We are truly so grateful to you for providing so much assistance and extra special attention such as having us to your beautiful home and speeding us around the river so we could get our wedding shots done at the boatshed. I know it sounds gushy but we think you are a true angel, and you are an absolutely perfect celebrant too!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. All the best”
