From Industry Professionals

I have been working in the wedding industry as a wedding photographer for the past fifteen years and have met many celebrants during this time, but among them all Lisa Blackmore stands out. Her service is the most professional I have ever seen and her friendly manner helped to make the day special for everyone. She is a fantastic celebrant and I know I can confidently recommend her to all my clients.

Lisa has helped many of our clients create their perfect day through her very personal service, enthusiastic attitude and modern approach to all aspects of their wedding ceremony.
We have found Lisa to be one of the most passionate people we have met in the wedding industry and have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone.

Lisa is one of the most passionate wedding providers that I have the pleasure of working with. She is fully committed to each and every wedding and her passion shines through in every ceremony that I have attended.
Lisa has a calming influence and can make the most nervous brides and grooms feel very comfortable and relaxed, which is a great attribute in the celebrant business.
Lisa is a true professional, and I feel privileged when I am the photographer at the weddings, because she brings all the effort that couples put into their wedding together, to perform a beautiful and memorable ceremony.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa at a number of weddings and she always seems to make the couple feel less nervous on their big day. Her happy smile and professional yet relaxed manner all make Lisa a truly fantastic wedding celebrant.

From the couples

We want to say such a big thank you for making our day so special and perfect. Our ceremony was by far the best thing of the whole day, and we will always look back on it with such wonderful memories because of you. You made it so easy for us to have a very personal and meaningful ceremony that was able to convey our feelings and promises to all present. It truly was unforgettable.
Ngaire & Chris
Sirromet Winery


In preparation for our May 2005 wedding, we knew we wanted a celebrant, but we didn't want someone too serious, too staid, too conservative, or too much of an attention-seeker. We wanted a young, vibrant celebrant for our 21st Century wedding - and we found her.

We had a non-traditional wedding - on a Thursday night, in the courtyard of a central Fortitude Valley backpackers' bar, and with no bridal party. This was perfectly acceptable to Lisa who encouraged us to do whatever expressed our own personalities.

We wrote our own vows, and Lisa competently advised us on the 'must-have' legal bits. She happily accommodated the participation of our nieces in the ceremony, impressed every one of our guests, and took a professional approach to all aspects of our wedding. She was amicable, flexible, receptive to our ideas, and always quick to respond to our queries. We're already looking forward to asking Lisa to renew our vows in 25 years!

Can I start by saying THANK YOU so much for the perfect wedding ceremony you helped us create! You carry out your profession with so much passion and I think that's really important and what makes you such a brilliant celebrant.

Moora Park, Shorncliffe

Thank you for doing such a great job on our wedding ceremony. Everyone had lovely things to say about both you and the ceremony. Thanks for being such a calm presence - the ceremony was far more emotional for both Dave and I than either of us expected. We thought the speeches later on would be the hardest, though they turned out to be a piece of cake after the ceremony!

Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special. Organising a wedding from such a great distance can sometimes be a recipe for disaster, but thanks to you, Confetti Photography and The Colonial, the day could not have turned out any better.
Kim & Steven
The Colonial Golf Club, Robina

Thank you for the wonderful ceremony you helped create for us. Everything about our special day was perfect, and knowing that I didn't need to worry about the ceremony and how it would run was fab.
I was quite nervous about wording the ceremony, but after speaking with you, you make it all seem so easy. You made us feel so relaxed and comfortable about everything. We couldn't have done it without you.

Jayne & Luke
Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, Manly

Thanks for having been such a special part of our wedding. At times when planning the wedding it seemed that the flowers, cake and dress were the absolutely most important part of the day. However once the ceremony commenced it all became clear what was really important and as such I was so very glad we had made the effort to find a wonderful celebrant like yourself.
Not only were Nick and I incredibly happy with your efforts but you will be happy to know I also had a lot of positive feedback from family and friends. My mum and grandmother were particularly impressed with your warm kind nature and the nice things you had to say. Not to mention the
photographer….she thought you were fantastic and is happy to recommend you to all her clients!!

We would like to thank you for such a wonderful ceremony you conducted for us last weekend. You were professional , caring , warm and spoke so clearly, even the grandparents could hear you! During the lead-up to the wedding you were always approachable and always prompt to reply even thought you lead such a busy life. We wanted a young and vibrant approach to our wedding, you were able to provide that and much more. Thank you for playing such a important role in the best day of our lives. We would recommend you to anyone and feel free to provide our details to anyone for a verbal reference.

Thank you so much for your part in making our special day as perfect as it was. Your relaxed, yet professional attitude was both calming and reassuring to us both when we were fighting off the pre-ceremony nerves.

As for the ceremony itself, thanks to you, it couldn't have been any smoother. Not only did everyone coment that it was such a unique and beautiful ceremony, they also felt your young and friendly approach was extremely refreshing. Thank you again and rest assured, we will recommend you to all of our family and friends.

Paul and I both wanted to say thank you soooooo much for our beautiful wedding ceremony up at Springbrook on the 1st December.
You made the most important part of our day something that we will remember for rest of our lives. The ceremony you conducted for us was so personal and special to us. Married life is wonderful and we are thorougly enjoying our time together as newlyweds. I cannot reccomend your services highly enough to anyone who gets married. We both feel that choosing the right celebrant is one of the most important decisions you make when planning your wedding.
We were so happy with you on our wedding day... I think hiring you to conduct our ceremony was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Michelle & Paul
Springbrook Mountain Manor, Springbrook

Thanks again for a job done well! We had so many positive comments about our ceremony. Tracey and Innes who run the lodge have asked me to ask you whether you could send them some of your brochures etc to offer people that have booked the venue for a wedding. They were extremely
impressed by you. Their exact words were "it's so hard to find a young celebrant that is as professional as Lisa was".
Arlene & Jake

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special. You conducted our ceremony with so much warmth and feeling yet it was still relaxed and happy, which was just the way we wanted it. We honestly couldn't have asked for better. It is quite amazing that even though we spent such a brief amount of time together, you have made such a major impact on our lives. We will always think of you fondly - not just as 'the celebrant who married us' but because you made our marriage an especially wonderful and beautiful celebration. We would highly recommend your services to anyone and we will certainly do so when the occasion arises.

Thanks to Lisa, our wedding day was a breeze. We were able to choose our vows, with her help and guidance, and select what was important to us. I wanted a celebrant who reflected our age group and had a modern approach to marriage. I would really encourage couples to speak with Lisa before making a decision on who they invite to be part of their most special day.

I honestly can't say enough good things about how organised and professional you are.
Colleen & Craig
Virginia Palms International Hotel

Thank you so very much for being such an instrumental part of our wedding. When you first visited our house you were well prepared and I knew instantly that you were going to make this whole event very easy for us.

Your ready made wedding CD allowed us to prepare what we wanted to say on the day, in front of our closest friends and family, without having to troll through the internet or other sources for inspiration. It was like having a "one stop shop for wedding ceremonies" - which made it particularly easy.

The way you interacted with my bridal party at the rehearsal was fantastic! The boys needed a bit of reigning in and you were able to do it - with subtlety and professionalism - in fact I do not even think that they realized what you were doing to get them to pay attention.

On the day you were marvelous, we did not have to think of anything else as we knew that you would direct everyone involved from the groom to the musicians and photographers - ensuring that the ceremony went off without a hitch. It was nice to know that we had a "Director" who would take care of us.

We would like to show our appreciation for making our wedding so special. The ceremony was just magical in the chapel. Your words and wishes will be treasured memories of such a great day. So many people have commented to me how great they thought you were on the day, and we cannot thank you enough for helping us make our ceremony so personal, and ensuring our families felt so relaxed, knowing that you would be co-ordinating the most important part of the day.

Thanks for everything, without your help we don't think the day would have flowed so smoothly. Through using your wedding manual we were able to build a ceremony that matched our personalities and allowed us to honestly express how as individuals, we relate. Not only were you supportive and helpful, but you truly love what you do and this enthusiasm really kept things fun.
