Jonathan Sent on 02/05/2023Best wedding decision we made
Guests at weddings often compliment things like the food, venue, flowers or dad dancing, but at our wedding the highest praise was reserved for our celebrant. Laura set the tone and energy not just for the ceremony itself, but for the entire day, creating an atmosphere that was full of fun, positivity and meaning. So good that she inspired one guest to train as a celebrant herself!
In the preparations, Laura was genuinely invested in the story of our relationship, and the time she spent with us was translated into a personal, tailored ceremony that fully reflected our character. While she was conscious of when we were nervous or unsure, she always encouraged us to be bold, suggesting... -

Andrew Sent on 11/03/2025Andrew and Lisa’s big day
We traveled from Sydney to be with our family and friends .
Laura did great work on zoom with us and built a great rapport .
Her attention to detail was exemplary and she had to steer through some choppy waters as we had a family bereavement in the lead up to the day .
That was handled with great empathy and skill
We had a truly memorable day and thank Laura for playing such a big partLaura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Andrew. I was in awe of you and Lisa throughout the process of planning your wedding. You had such difficult circumstances to contend with and yet you still encouraged me to find so much joy and humour in your ceremony. It was incredible. Thank you for trusting me to hold that moment for you both. x -

Jess Sent on 09/09/2024The most personal ceremony
We truly cannot sing our praises loud enough for Laura. She has a gift, and that gift is weaving the story of two people in such a deeply personal way that you would think she has known them for years. She told our story in a way that touched everyone present, and she was so creative in incorporating unique aspects of our lives. From the three hours we spent sitting in a café, talking about our life together, to the thoughtful feedback on our vows, she made us feel so excited and honored to have her stand in front of our friends and family to celebrate our marriage.
The one aspect of our wedding which was complimented the...Laura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much. Hurray for you! And hurray for the little dream team we created! And an extra hurray for your excellent guests who threw themselves so wholeheartedly into your ceremony. It was a total joy to be part of. xx -

The absolute best
I cannot tell you how brilliant Laura is. She worked with us to create the most amazing ceremony, listened to all the ideas we had and put it all together better than I could have imagined. Everyone said afterwards they’d never been to a wedding where they’d really enjoyed the ceremony as much before. This is what we wanted, to make the ceremony something wonderful. She incorporated all of our non traditional ideas, organised our readers and made sure everything flowed beautifully. She was also really helpful getting everyone organised the morning of the wedding! Could not recommend her enough, she will make your wedding so memorable not just for you but for all your guests too.Laura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
Ah, thanks Ali! I always say a ceremony is only ever as wonderful as the couple I'm working with and you and Dan were just next level brilliant. Thanks for your honesty and humour. Thanks to the girls for being so willing to give me their insight. And thanks to your lovely friend whose reading made me genuinely cry! I won't ever forget your ceremony. It had such heart. xx -

It’s been quite hard to put into words how special the ceremony was, and the whole process of working with Laura over the last 18 months.
Our ceremony was even more magical than we expected, after receiving her fantastic script. It hit exactly the right balance of acknowledging the gravity of our marriage, but bringing joy, life, and light into the picture.
Each of our calls and meetings was so happy - as an anxious bride Laura made me feel reassured and heard. I knew we were safe in her hands! She even stood outside with me shortly before my wedding ceremony started, helping me breathe and giving me a brilliant pep talk.

We can't recommend Laura enough. She was brilliant throughout the entire process. She held our hands through the planning, helping us decide what we want to include in our ceremony and to write our vows.
The ceremony she wrote was fantastic, it felt incredibly personal to us and all the more meaningful for it. I can't remember the number of people who came up to us to rave about Laura on the day as well.
A heartfelt thank you from the both of us for making our day so special.Laura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
A heartfelt thank you from me to you too! I loved working with you. You made it so easy! And during the ceremony, I loved how engaged your guests were. I could see them all nodding and laughing when I described something about you they really recognised. There was so much life in that crowd! It was a real pleasure to be part of your day. x -

Jonathan Sent on 29/05/2024The highlight of our wedding day
Myself and my wife knew from the beginning of our wedding preparation that we didn't want to do anything traditional. That just isn't our style! We didn't want the usual boring ceremony which consists of religious reading and hymns. We didn't want anything which would send people to sleep... we wanted something which reflected who we are as a couple; then we found Laura.
From the very first video we watched of Laura, we knew she was perfect for us. We reached out and were blown away even more by the way she spoke and how she carried herself. Her kind and inviting nature was exactly what we needed, especially during the stressful planning stages of our wedding....Laura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
Oh my god Jess and Jon!! I'm in bits! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these words. And thank you for lavishing me with so much praise!!!
I love nothing more than a couple who I can tell are fully on board with making their ceremony memorable and meaningful. You jumped with both feet from the very start. Thank you for trusting me so wholeheartedly and for being so willingly vulnerable with your feelings. I wish you every happiness. xx -

Suzie Sent on 23/05/2024The perfect ceremony!
Laura makes a point of learning as much as possible about the couple and their journey to each other, then crafts a perfectly-tailored, creative ceremony that she delivers with grace and aplomb. We laughed, we cried, we loved every moment of our vow renewal! Laura made us feel exactly like we did on our wedding day 20 years ago. The beauty, the excitement, the walking on air -- it was all there again, thanks to her. She made us feel comfortable and in good hands, like our ceremony was being conducted by an old friend. What a a gift!Laura Gimson Ceremonies's reply:
Thank you so much Suzie. Honestly, your vow renewal is one for the memory bank! I'd never done such an intimate ceremony but it felt really special to share that moment with you. I was so moved by how Curt was instantly able to put words to his feelings for you despite the renewal being a surprise for him! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your celebration. Here's to another 20 years! -
