Testimonial David & Justin Main Beach on the Northern Gold Coast
Dear Marilyn, David and I (Justin) would just like to say thank you again for the superb job you did for our Commitment Ceremony.
Your total professionalism from the very first contact was evident, you put your visions into reality. All of our guests were very impressed with the way you conducted the day and we both can only speak highly of your service. Looking forward to our Renewal of Vows with you next year!. Thanks again David & Justin x

A favourite with couples, this ritual involves the best friend pouring a goblet of wine and handing it to the couple. The celebrant invites them to take a sip of wine for each blessing.
“And now please drink to the love you’ve shared in the past.”
The Couple each one sips from the cup.
“Drink to the love in the present, on this your commitment day.”
The Couple each one sips from the cup.
“And drink to your love in the future and forever more.”The Couple each one sips from the cup.

Testimonial Maria & Sally from Mackay had a Rose Exchange Ceremony in their Commitment Ceremony at the Mt Ommaney Hotel Gardens
Hi Marilyn, Well it’s hard to believe we are almost 3 weeks of married bliss.... we are both back at work now and it’s been tuff trying to get back into it. We just wanted to thank you so very much for making our day so wonderful and special. Everything was just as we pictured it and so many of our guests are still talking about what a wonderful ceremony it was. The Love Story was a huge hit as so many people did not really know where we began and they thought it was such a lovely touch.  Our day was emotional, loving, fun and very beautiful and that is all thanks to you Marilyn.  As I said to you from when we first met the ceremony for us had to be just right and to us was the most important part of our day.  Thank you so much for everything you did, and I have passed on your name to many of our friends both gay and straight who want to make that life commitment to soul mates.  Take care and we will talk soon. Kind regards Maria & Sally Fox - Photo Courtesy of John Bortolin Photography

Testimonial Cara & Helen Commitment Vic Lucas Park Bulimba Brisbane
"When I first met Marilyn, I knew she would be perfect for our ceremony. We only had a short space of time to prepare the wedding (6 weeks!!) and Marilyn was so professional and organised without being stressful - just what we needed!! Marilyn's wealth of knowledge and on-line resources allowed us to tailor a unique, memorable and meaningful ceremony for both Helen and I and our two children. People did not stop talking about how beautiful the sand ceremony was! Throughout the ceremony Marilyn was relaxed but professional, she interpreted our love story perfectly: she just "got" us and it showed. The guests laughed and cried throughout the ceremony (at all the right places).  To sum it up; two of our friends said that they had never cried before at any wedding the had been to...until ours. Practically all our guests said that they had never been to a more beautiful ceremony. Thank you Marilyn :-))) x" love Helen & Cara

The couple exchange a single red rose as a symbol of their love and commitment on their special day. A single red rose always means “I love you” and becomes their first gift to each other as a committed couple.  The couple pick one very special location in their home for roses, and that on each anniversary they both take a rose to that special place, as a recommitment to their vows each year and an affirmation that this is a union based on love.
