Happy Couple Testimonials
24May25 – Kelsey: We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Lauretta! From the very beginning, her communication was fantastic — always prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, which is exactly what we needed leading up to the big day. Lauretta’s fun and outgoing personality instantly put us at ease. She brought such a warm and joyful energy that helped us feel relaxed and truly enjoy every moment of our ceremony. She went above and beyond to get to know us, and the personal story she wrote about our journey together was absolutely amazing — heartfelt, thoughtful, and captured “us” perfectly. We’re so grateful to have had Lauretta as part of our wedding. She made it not only beautiful, but truly unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!
2May25 – Lynsey: Living in Scotland and planning an elopement in Australia isn’t for the faint hearted. From the moment we had our first video call with Lauretta, we knew she had to be the one to marry us. Lauretta guided us through the full process, always quick to reply to any questions (even with a 9 hour time difference!) Lauretta’s passion shines through and it’s clear to see that she genuinely enjoys what she does and cares about her couples. On the day, she made the day perfect and so “us”, full of love and a touch of humour, she just got us, and what we were looking for. Was so lovely to finally meet her in person on our wedding day and finally give her a big hug. We have no hesitation in recommending Lauretta to be your celebrant, she was incredible on the day and couldn’t have asked for anyone more passionate and perfect. Thank you Lauretta, you’re one in a million.

2April25 – Leah: Where do I start? From the very first message to the very last hug. this lady will blow your mind. Lauretta is the kindest, most caring, hardworking, loveable, funny, nurturing, most beautiful person and celebrant you will ever come across. Always going out of her way to help and ensure the day goes smoothly. Always making sure the day is the way YOU want it, nothing is concrete, not everything will always work the way you first see it, but with Lauretta there to calm me and help me see it as a day for our love and that’s all that really matters. I wish I never had to say goodbye to her; I want her to be in my life forever! Such a treasure and I hope many more lucky couples get to experience her professional and kind service.

We couldn’t recommend Lauretta highly enough!
​
19May23 – Alicia: We 100% recommend Lauretta! From the moment I emailed Lauretta to the moment we first met Lauretta in person we already knew she was the best celebrant for us, especially when she hand picks you a rose from her own garden to give to you when you first meet. Lauretta went above and beyond for us, Lauretta made sure everything was as perfect as it ever could be. Lauretta made getting married so easy, fun, and meaningful, especially with our ceremony script. She provided us with assurance through the entire process to the exact moment we got married, even after we were married. Lauretta is the most wonderful and down to earth person you could ever meet. We just want to say a big Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us! Xxx

25Nov23 - Brad: Lauretta was the best choice my wife and I made to help organise, oversee and conduct our ceremony. We explained what we had planned and wanted and Lauretta was able to build a service around that which exceeded our expectations. Professional, personal, humorous and able to adapt to our theme. People often say they recommend people in these reviews , but I encourage you to meet with Lauretta when planning your big day and experience her eager and professional attitude to marriage ceremonies, I honestly think apart from us and our family and friends Lauretta was just as excited and great full to be apart of our moment, and that I think is what you want and need on that special day, she was able to bring everything together to make it seamless. Meet with Lauretta and experience for yourselves. Thank you Lauretta.

Lauretta has been married to her partner Don since we first met, in 2002. They have a loving and generous relationship, founded in mutual respect and appreciation. They have proven to be wonderful role models for their daughters, with all three of them happily married to young men who support them in all of their endeavours. Certainly, Lauretta is committed to the institution of marriage. When we have spoken of this matter in past years, she has always highlighted that marriage is an equal and loving partnership through which people may share happiness, support one another in sorrow and, if they choose to, raise happy and confident children.
The applicant’s commitment to the central importance of the institution of marriage in society.

Lauretta is always impeccably dressed, and has a very happy disposition. She has a very calm welcoming approach which puts everyone she speaks to at ease. Lauretta also has the ability to build rapport quickly when meeting someone and it is very obvious that she has very effective listening skills and a genuine interest in other people's stories and is willing to clarify what a person means if she is uncertain. Lauretta's attention to detail in all that she does ensures that tasks are completed timely and of the highest standard.
Any other qualities or attributes that the applicant has that would support their application for registration as a marriage celebrant?

As a personal friend and professional colleague of Lauretta’s for many years (teaching at the same university), I have the highest regard for Lauretta's integrity and moral standards. Lauretta was highly respected by the students she lectured, as well as her colleagues. She is someone who can be trusted, and who will happily pass on the benefit of her own life skills and wisdom to anyone requesting advice or guidance. Devoting a significant amount of her free-time to a wide range of community organisations, Lauretta is someone who will honour any commitment she has made.
The applicant’s personal integrity and ethical standards.

My heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude goes out to my family and friends who have supported me throughout the completion of the Cert IV Celebrancy assessment. Together we practiced, then videoed, a mock couple’s interview, marriage rehearsal, marriage ceremony, certificate signing and a mock naming ceremony! My amazing husband of 25 years performed a key role-play in each ceremony … I guess he is like me: keen to be Wright Where Love Is!

Myself and Haylee had the pleasure today to collaborate together working on a wedding for one of my long-time clients at Bamboo Lands - it was such a memorable, beautiful ceremony and this successful outcome was very much achieved with the delightful, warm and entertaining character of Celebrant Lauretta Wright… Classy and Professional, nerves were put to ease for the Groom in waiting, attention to detail to make this ceremony uniquely special, focused on this couple & their long-time love affair was inspiringly refreshing …
I have worked with many before who scripted the usual banter with formality - But Lauretta delivered a flair of passion, so few possess to deliver. I have never met a more perfect individual for the role of celebrancy…
So, if you're looking for the right person for your Wedding nuptials, vow renewals, naming ceremonies or the all-important celebration of life ceremonies to enrich your memory with beautiful moments, then she’s the professional you need...
Had I known of Lauretta's services and viewed her in action prior to Darren’s life celebration I would have most certainly employed her professional services! -As mentioned, her prolific attention to detail and the way she delivers are both impeccable and exceptional…
