Joy was a joy to be our wedding celebrant. We had a small celebration at home and we had
some technical difficulties as we had families joining us online. Joy was very helpful and very
patient.
Joy is professional, efficient, organised and lovely. Oh, and a great photographer! I highly
recommend her.
Joy was so very helpful, even through Covid and changes of wedding dates; Joy did all she
could to accommodate us and was beyond helpful. We were so happy with all Joy did, plus
the photos she took of our elopement wedding are amazing so professional!
An absolutely organised and a delight to have! Joy is an incredibly fun and meticulous to have on a very busy wedding day. Her super organisational skills were very reassuring for me. She is great fun and will make sure you have a fun ceremony. She was also wonderful to take so many photos when we were too busy being bride and groom. And she let a very close friend co-officiate at our ceremony which was so special.
Joy was our celebrant for our June wedding. Due to Covid, and the changing restrictions, as well as a death in the family, I had to change the date of my wedding and needed a celebrant urgently. Joy not only quoted a third of the price that the other celebrant was charging, but she was empathetic and a genuinely good person. She said that she believed in love and wanted to help, especially during these circumstances. My partner and I met Joy before the wedding and she wrote the most beautiful ceremony which was unique and special to us. On the day she was professional and warm, and delivered our ceremony perfectly, even causing quite a few people to tear up with happy tears! She took beautiful pictures of us which she emailed and even remembered the due date of our baby. She messaged us months later to congratulate us. Joy made our special day even more special, and I cannot thank her enough. I am so happy to have found her.
Memorial Service – Joy Allen is an amazing Celebrant – from the initial phone call through to the memorial service. Organising Mum’s memorial was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do, but Joy made it much easier. She was flexible with timing, we spent two hours on a video conference (we were in different c countries) to go through everything from what kind of memorial we wanted, to getting to really know Mum, and her life. We had multiple emails back and forth with updates. On the day of the service, Joy was the perfect choice; everyone at the service and online gave her great reviews. She is kind, organised, compassionate and professional. I would highly recommend Joy with no hesitation. Thank you for everything.
