You are truly awesome at what you do"

Hi Allan,

"We thank you for such a great ceremony .... We could not have pictured a better day ... You are truly awesome at what you do"

If you are still doing this in 20 years we would love if you could renew our wedding vows which we will do in Brisbane.

Regards

It was a joy to have you marry us...
Dear Allan: THANK YOU!

We can't thank you enough for how wonderful and organised you were for our wedding.

...everyone said again how nice it was...

Hi Allan,

Thanks so much again for a lovely ceremony for Scarlett today - everyone said again how nice it was, and we really appreciate you coming along.
Just also - would you mind sending me the info about Scarlett's name meanings - the only meaning I found when we were choosing her name was Scarlett (Old English for deep red) and Audrey was noble - we didn't really research Stirling as we chose it for it's sentimental significance. We don't have all the other details you found out so if you're able to send them to us that would be great.

Many thanks -Scott & Susan Johnson - Christening - The Pier Shorncliffe

...you were everything and beyond what we had hoped for!
Dear Allan
Thank you so much for conducting the most wonderful wedding ceremony Matt and I could ever have dreamed of. After being together for 9 years before deciding to marry this was obviously an exceptionally special day to us and to those who shared this incredible day with us. Although the weather was not what we had hoped for - you were everything and beyond what we had hoped for! You conducted our ceremony with warmth, genuine sincerity, and a most delightful sense of humour (which was so right for us). Your participation in our wedding was not only appreciated by us, but very much by our small congregation of family and friends - everybody commented on just how wonderfully you related our stories and conducted our wedding vows - all said the best wedding they've ever been too!!!
Your participation helped to make our wedding ceremony not only special for us, but unforgettable. Thank you so very much Allan - we will never forget you.
Kind regards always,
Judi and Matt Tatham - Peregian, Sunshine Coast.

... you really worked so well together with us, to create a unique & memorable ceremony.

Hi Allan,
I am so sorry this is so late. I want to thankyou for helping us have such a wonderful day.
For the record:
Allan you really worked so well together with us, to create a unique, memorable ceremony. The lead up to the wedding was professional and you considered our needs. It was evident that you love your job and we had a beauitful, professional event with memories to last a life time. My husband said he would like to have a re-run in a few years to renew our vows, he agreed you were the best choice for the day. Our guests commented on your relaxed and confident manner, everybody felt at ease. Thankyou so much.

We recommend you to all with our whole heart.

Hi Allan,        
                                                        

We had the most beautiful wedding ceremony. We both wanted to thank you for being a part of our day and conducting such a personal, moving and entertaining ceremony. We could not have been more pleased with the job that you did. We are so grateful of the time you spent getting to know Chris and I and ensuring our ceremony was perfect for us, as well as ensuring the 'little things' were there on the day (such as the rings..and a calm groom!). Our families and friends have all commented on what a wonderful celebrant you are, and were often asking "where did you find him?!". You worded everything beautifully; the ceremony ran so smoothly, it was just what we had always wanted. We recommend you to all with all our whole heart.

You were a really important part of our day, and you did a great job.

Hi Allan,

Thanks so much for conducting our wedding ceremony (especially at such short notice!).

You were a really important part of our day, and you did a great job. We have had lots of compliments from guests on how good the ceremony was. And you put us both at ease. Changing celebrants at the last minute could have been really stressful, but it was lucky that you were available and that we immediately felt comfortable with you as our celebrant. It was a great day and we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

We will have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends in the future,
Thanks again!Amanda and Steve xxx. Dockside Brisbane

Allan listened to what we wanted on the day and delivered.

Hi Allan,   
We choose Allan because he was both a Celebrant and a Minister. He added just the perfect religious touch to our ceremony. Allan was very witty, wise, guiding and genuine in his words. He listened to what we wanted on the day and delivered. We would thoroughly recommend Allan to those couples who are about to embark on their life’s journey together.

..... you really did a fantastic job


Hi Allan,
Thank you so much for making our wedding celebration so special to use. Your calm and warm approach as well as your great sense of humor made the ceremony much less of a nerve wracking experience than we thought and really helped us to relax and enjoy the day.

You were also perhaps the only part of our whole wedding day that we didn't need to stress about because we had complete faith that you would do the job. And you did.

Hope you are well and thanks again for everything on the day, you really did a fantastic job. Thanks so much for everything.

Kind Regards,Michael and Geetu Anthonisz -

We were very impressed by the way you conducted the ceremony

 

Hi Allan,

Many thanks for performing our wedding ceremony!

It was a fabulous day and we had a number of people comment on what a great job you did. It was nice to have some humour during the ceremony, even if Tim couldn't speak properly and I had trouble putting his ring on.

We were very impressed by the way you conducted the ceremony - it was exactly what we wanted. Thank you.

As promised please find attached a photo of yourself and us! Let me know if this is okay or not.

All the best & Many Thanks!
Kind Regards

Tim & Nicole  Sirromet Winery, Mt. Cotton.



A ceremony well performed

Hi Allan,
 
Well the stresses have subsided, the cake has been cut, the toasts made, the rose petals thrown and the first of our children is now married. Once again thank you for a ceremony well performed.
 
The feedback I have had from Karen and Andrew was positive from their first contact with you, and remained positive throughout out their dealings with you.
At the wedding reception Andrew told me how impressed Karen's family were with the ceremony and with you, in addition to Andrew and Karen's friends also making positive comments.
 
Andrew said he is guessing you can probably expect some phone calls in the future for other ceremonies that came out of what people observed today.
Rest assured we will happily pass on your contact details to anyone who asks us if we can recommend a celebrant.
 
Kind regards

Leanne and Stuart, Bardon Conference Centre, Bardon.


Many positive comments

Hi Allan

Ozzie and I want to thank you for marrying us on Sunday 6th July at Glengariff. We had many positive comments about you...one lady wanting to fly you to Melbourne in August to marry her daughter!!! It was a special day for us and you played a really big part in that! Thank you!
Also, we received a Bible as a wedding gift and inside the front cover it has room for our minister/celebrant to sign and say that we were officially married etc etc. I was wondering if there was a time suitable to you for me to get you to sign the Bible. 

Nicole and Ozzie, Glengariff Estate Winery, Mt. Mee.



A wonderful christening ceremony

Allan

So sorry for the late email. Life just seems to continually get busy.  However I just wanted to thank you for performing a wonderful christening ceremony for Dave and myself with Benjamin on the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Everyone had a wonderful time and commented on a wonderful, friendly and personal ceremony.

Again, thank you for making the day very enjoyable, even though Benjamin wasn't 100% (it turned out to be a very bad case of middle ear infection, the doctor visited us later on in the afternoon at home) at least the weather stayed away. Thankyou

Tanya, Dave and Benjamin, North Pine Dam, Whiteside.



We simply could not have made a better choice

Hi Allan

We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you from our hearts for being our celebrant at our wedding. We simply could not have made a better choice and the ceremony was everything we wanted and more. It is amazing to be able to just put your trust in someone (yourself) and follow your guidance and have the day just be so magical (part from the positioning of the sun!!) And further to that, every guest later at the reception commented to Scott and I how fantastic you were and how great the ceremony was. You are brilliant at what you do and even though most of our friends are married we are still raving on to anyone who will listen about how fabulous you are! Ours fingers are crossed for the blessing of little ones in the near future and I can assure you we will be giving you call for any Naming Day ceremonies.

Take care Allan, and thank you ever so much again.

Scott and Nicole McKinnon, Glengariff Estate Winery, Mt. Mee.


All our guests enjoyed the ceremony

Dearest Allan,

We thank you so much for everything you have done for us. I am so happy you went out of your way to be there so you could marry us on this special day. All our guests enjoy the ceremony just as much as we did, if not more.

I have been passing your number around as so many people have commented on your service.

I thank you once again for making our wedding day a occasion we will always remember forever in our hearts.

Good luck & we hope to see you one day in the future.

With Love……

Christine & Scott Davidson, Mt, Cotton Wedding Gardens, Mt. Cotton.


 



 Thank you again

Hi Allan,

Just wanted to say thank you again Saturday. Everyone has commented on how good you were, a balance of involving the crowd, a bit of a laugh and serious at the right times! Sorry for being a bit disorganised but I think it all worked well in the end.

Thanks again,

Best regards.

Angus & Nardi, Thornton Park, Kangaroo Point. Brisbane River.



Yippee!!!. What a great minister

Hi Allan,
 
I am just coming back down to planet earth so I thought I had better hurry up and tell you how thrilled we all were with the service. You chose the most beautiful words and we were very happy. As for my family, well, they were so happy too....."Is that it?" was the most used phrase. "Yippee!!!" what a great minister, thought we'd be here for hours. So, needless to say, most of my family go to a lot of weddings and were so happy that it was not for hours! So thanks again for the lovely memories..

My mother's comments were that she was amazed at what a wonderful job you did, so thanks.
 
Shirley Hartridge, Broadway Chapel, Woolloongabba, Brisbane.



Above and beyond what we expected

Hi Sir Allan!
 
This is Danny and Anne Beeching here finally letting you know that we believe you should be knighted. Your service was above and beyond what we expected and we felt we had known you for years. Your humour, humility and professionalism was outstanding to say the least, and the ability to think on your feet and flow with the ceremony was that of a communications master!
 
We would recommend you to anyone, for any reason.
 
After our first meeting we just knew that we had a special person joining us on our day and it will always be remembered with joy and pride that WE had 'Sir' Allan Ralph as our celebrant. "Gee's mate, you're bloody good"

Yours Sincerely,

Danny and Anne Beeching, Murrumba Downs.


Words of warmth and sincerity...

We just wanted to thank you so very very much for making our wedding such a special day.

Your words of warmth & sincerity were so lovely & we just wanted to say we appreciate everything you did to make it a very memorable day.

We have had many friends & family commend our choice in our celebrant too & we will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who is in need of a celebrant.

Brad & Kirrilee, New Farm Park




Recommending you to all our friends...

You did slip away before we could thank you. How considerate you are to not interrupt us as we hugged and greeted our guests.

It was a wonderful ceremony.

Everyone there said how much they enjoyed it, including us of course. Thank you again for everything.

Tim & Eva, City Botanical GardenS
