Our heartfelt thanks to Gitte for being such a wonderful celebrant. We had a really special time and your ceremony completely captured our relationship, we are so grateful for all your hard work. You created a really magical occasion, and the audience participation was the perfect touch to include our friends who are so important to us. It felt like you really understood us and what was needed to celebrate the occasion in a way which was completely individual and unique to us. Throughout you were kind and caring, you made sure everyone was included and provided extra personal touches, like the ribbons, to ensure we felt completely relaxed, comfortable and well looked after – all we needed to focus on was enjoying the day. Thank you so much.

Gitte was absolutely wonderful. From the moment that we started talking, she was warm, friendly and helped us to navigate the ceremony process - always reminding us that it was OUR day and we could do it HOWEVER WE WANTED. She captured our story beautifully after just one meeting but made sure to follow up and meet us again to make sure she had got it just the way we wanted. On and after the day, many of our friends asked about her and thought she must be a friend as she made the ceremony so friendly, relaxed and personal. As someone said - she made such a warm loving environment that it set the day up really well. We are very grateful for having had Gitte as part of our day. Would give a million stars if we could.

Gitte is an incredible human being and celebrant. She's warm, supportive, has a beautiful energy, an amazing way with words and is a safe pair of hands. We've had lots of comments about how the wedding was very different from what people were used to, more relaxed and personal, and how good Gitte was as our celebrant. It was all pretty perfect.

Gitte presided over our humanist ceremony in August and we couldn't recommend her more. So many of our guests fed back that it was one of the nicest ceremonies they've been to. Gitte did so much research on us on during the planning process, her account of our love story was incredibly well crafted, funny and heartfelt. The different options that she gave us really made us feel like we were in control at all points which is very important on such a big occasion. The whole process from beginning to end was an absolute pleasure and I'm now sad that it's all over. If you're looking for a humanist celebrant choose Gitte, you won't regret it!

I just wanted to say on behalf of us both, how thankful we are to have found you and for what you did in creating the most perfect wedding for us. We said when we met you that we had gone with our gut for every decision and I am so glad we did. Your ceremony was beautiful, not only in the words but your energy and it is everything that we had dreamed it would be, so thank you firstly for that. More importantly thank you for your time and support in everything leading up to our big day - we joked that talking to you was like therapy as it got so many lovely memories and honest truths out of us. It was a huge comfort knowing we had put our trust in a person who truly wanted to get to know us and shared our goals. So just a message to anyone thinking of a celebrant led wedding - if you even have an inkling this is for you - speak to Gitte. We had the most magical wedding, full of quirks and happiness, that was made with love and careful thought. Harry and I knew we were in good hands from the minute we sat down and it is funny to still cry at stories that you've known for years because of how beautifully they're being told by someone else. We had guests mention our ceremony all day and the smiles on everyone's faces as they left our ceremony space was enough to tell us we made the right decision.

Hiring Gitte to be our wedding celebrant was one of the best decisions we made! Initially, we had planned to ask a friend to officiate our ceremony, but soon we realised that the ceremony was what we were the most stressed about because of how important it was for us to get it right and make it meaningful. So we decided to turn to a professional. The next challenge was finding someone who shared similar values to ours and who would therefore hold our hand as we created a ceremony that aligned with these values. It was particularly important for us that we found a celebrant who was inclusive and mindful of the various kinds of guests who would be coming to the wedding. When we came across Gitte's profile we immediately knew she was the right person: an inclusive, fun, queer-affirming, feminist celebrant with a passion for social justice, a love of nature and animals and a knack for languages. As a Spanish-French couple with a diversity of guests from multiple countries and having a woodland wedding, this was the perfect fit! From the moment we reached out to Gitte, she was wonderful. We had a no-obligation call to get to know each other and we immediately loved her. The next step was filling out a thorough questionnaire to allow her to get to know our values better. A few months later she came to see us in our home and we went deeper into our love story and the structure of the ceremony, and she answered all of our questions with patience and wisdom. She also helped us decide on what kinds of rituals would best suit our ceremony. When the script was ready she shared it with us and we were able to give her feedback and make tweaks. It was a completely customised script that she worked very hard on. She really went above and beyond to make it perfect. As introverts, my husband and I were quite nervous about the ceremony, but thanks to Gitte's wonderful script, which brought a lot of lightheartedness and fun to it, we actually really enjoyed the ceremony and were able to savour the moment. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and there were lots of laughs. Gitte even incorporated words in multiple languages—she said a few words in French and Spanish for our families and even said 'Welcome' in every single language spoken by our guests! Gitte really helped elevate our wedding ceremony and our day and to make it truly special, and we will always be incredibly grateful. I would highly recommend her as a celebrant to any other couples!

Aaah, we couldn’t praise Gitte highly enough! She’s a warm and wonderful person - the best starting point. She’s also a brilliant, sensitive celebrant. With Gitte we got a ceremony that reflected us rather than follow convention for the sake of it. Gitte guided us by suggesting different elements that we would never have thought of ourselves, and gave us space to choose and adapt. We went for a “ring warming”, an inclusive ritual infused with the love of all our friends and family present. Ask Gitte if you’re intrigued! The story Gitte told of us as a couple was joyous but not sentimental, with just the right amount of humour and drama. It was properly entertaining, and very “us”! Although we worked with Gitte on the script there were some lovely surprise elements. The whole ceremony was well structured, so we always felt in safe hands, but at the same time was relaxed and celebratory. A family member commented that “usually at weddings you’re waiting for the service to end before the fun part begins, but with your wedding the service was part of the fun too.” High praise! We are hugely grateful to Gitte for creating such a special occasion for us and recommend her wholeheartedly.
