Melsceremonies - Melanie Stuart, Celebrant

Mel was so warm and lovely and we were so lucky to have her bless our union. She did such a great job and so patient (as we were all running late)! Thank you Mel for making it a memorable day for us ❤️

We want to say a huge thank you to Mel for being the best celebrant we could have asked for.Through our online research and brief communication with Mel, we quickly realised that Mel would be a good fit for us so we decided to book her before we had even met her. When we first met Mel, we knew that we definitely made the right decision. Mel is very warm and friendly, pleasant and respectful, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had exchanged a lot of email communication about the queries we had and Mel was always very patient and helpful, and replied very promptly.Mel is experienced and professional and we found her to be very helpful and insightful throughout the process. She had helped with personalising our ceremony, providing suggestions on how to write our vows, conducting our wedding rehearsal and giving points for consideration/tips along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with Mel where she got to know us – it felt more like friends getting to know each other. Mel wrote a beautiful ceremony for us which our guests loved and many were touched by Mel’s words. We loved Mel’s delivery and energy on the day – it created a relaxed, yet intimate and special atmosphere which is exactly what we had hoped for. Mel was more than a celebrant that legally married us – she was our story teller that shared our love story to our closest family and friends.Thanks again Mel, for being a part of our special day. We wouldn’t have it any other way! We truly believe that couples that get to work with you are very lucky.

Jeff and I met Mel only once before our wedding day, we chatted for just over an hour. Melanie asked us to tell her about how we met, what we love about one another etc. In a week or so she had emailed a draft of our ceremony-she nailed it! How clever is she that she can build our story from such a short meeting with us is truly amazing. We wanted a casual, light, funny ceremony and this is what she delivered. On the day of the wedding she kept us calm, we both even managed to say the words without getting too flustered. We thank you so very much Mel for being a big part of our day and how lovely it was to have you with us. We would recommend Melanie for any ceremonies where you need a celebrant, she is just wonderful.

Mel is a brilliant Celebrant who we utilised for our registry wedding. We couldn't be more happy in the service we received.Mel made it so easy, straightforward and simple to follow. In the unlikely event, but if needed, I would happily call upon Mel again.I would highly recommend anyone out there needing a celebrant to call upon Mel to help you with your special day.

Mel was an absolutely wonderful celebrant and really listened to what my husband and I wanted from our wedding. She delivered a light hearted, funny yet touching ceremony which is exactly what we had asked for. She was very understanding and accommodating with the changes we had to make due to Covid and was just an absolute pleasure to have on our special day. We can't recommend Mel highly enough xx

Thank you Mel for an amazing ceremony! Mel was exactly what we were looking for in a celebrant. Nothing was too hard and she seemed genuinely interested in us as people, our lives, our journey and our relationship. We are so happy we chose Mel to be there on our special day and would recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant.

Mel is a wonderful celebrant and a champion of true love. We had a very small & intimate ceremony at home with some family and a few close friends. We met Mel on the day of the wedding (since it was a low key affair) and couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. She was kind, supportive and professional as she led two very nervous people through our big moment. We loved you and our guests loved you - thank you so much for being part of our day. If you're seeking a celebrant, I highly recommend Mel Stuart, you'll be in the best possible hands.

My wife and I couldn't rate Mel any higher. We would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend her as a celebrant. Mel stepped in as our back up celebrant with less than two weeks to go before our big day. Not only did she write the most stunning ceremony in that short time, testament to her beautiful grasp on language, but she also fully convinced our guests that she knew us and our love story as well as anyone in attendance. That is her skill in truly listening to what we were saying and capturing the essence of our relationship. She was incredible to work with and absolutely helped us turn what was a very stressful situation into the most joyous, trusting and heartfelt ceremony. It was kind and generous and so much fun. Mel laughed with us, made us and everyone at our ceremony feel so at home, and most of all, we just knew as soon as we met with her that we would be able to trust her. She picked our vibe perfectly and the ceremony was magic. Don't hesitate to book Mel in if you're looking for a thoughtful, polished and kind celebrant who is a professional through and through.

The icing on the cake!Everything about dealing with Mel was clear, simple, straight forward and most importantly enjoyable! Mel was a calming influence on our special day due to her expectionally professional manner of conduct, but she marries that with the perfect balance of wit and humour. She is an excellent public speaker and comes very well prepared.We can't recommend her highly enough. Book now before your special day gets reserved by another lucky couple.All the best,Kate & Nate

Melanie was the most perfect celebrant- she had the most amazing presence, set the tone of the ceremony right from the beginning. Her story telling of our love story made us and the guests laugh and cry. Melanie made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Thank you for all you did for our wedding. You are amazingly good at what you do. <3
