Coal Coast Celebrant

From our first meet, Michelle made us feel excited and at ease. She took the time to get to know us and knew exactly the type of ceremony we wanted. She had us (and our guests) laughing, crying and cheering and really brought out the love and emotion we all shared on the day. So many of our guests have said that it was the best ceremony they've been to and that Michelle was the best celebrant they've seen. And we agree!Thank you Michelle!!

Thank you thank you thank you! So many guests at our wedding commented on how incredible Michelle was. She was so calm and relaxed, which therefore set the tone for our ceremony. She also doubled up as our MC for the night and did it with ease. Thanks for making sure our day/night ran so smoothly. I cannot recommend Michelle enough if you’re considering for her to be a part of your day. Thanks again Michelle xxTayla & Mitch

Could not recommend Michelle enough - she was everything we hoped for in a celebrant and more.From the start, Michelle was easy to communicate and responded promptly and thoroughly. She gave us just the right amount of guidance while allowing us to really dictate the flow and tone of our ceremony.On the day she smoothed over a bunch on last minute things (as a bride, running around trying to check details as being told your celebrant already set this up/told me what to do/organised this" is BEYOND helpful) and was there ready to help us have the perfect day.Her ceremony had us as all our guests in stitches and tears! She really captured us as a couple

Michelle was the perfect MC and celebrant for our wedding day. She was super organised but also kept things relaxed - nothing on the day was stressful. Her prep with us was easy but comprehensive, and allowed her to bring our personalities out in the ceremony and reception. She was quick to adapt to unexpected changes, and kept everyone on track and the program flow smooth.Michelle offered lots of great ideas, suggestions and reminders of elements we hadn't considered, but when we wanted to do something differently, she was totally on board. Working with her to plan the perfect celebration was a piece of (wedding) cake.I don't plan on getting married again, which makes it even more important that other couples engage Michelle to help them enjoy the greatest day of their lives. 10/10, 5 stars, chef's kiss, and a salute.Thank you so much!

My husband Daniel and I were married by Michelle last Saturday February 4th 2023 at Worrowing Estate in Jervis Bay. From the moment we met Michelle at the South Coast Wedding Fair, we clicked. She was the most wonderful person to officiate our marriage and all of our guests were raving about her after the ceremony.Michelle has a unique ability to calm your nerves and anxiety on one of the most important days of your life- her reassuring presence and kindness at the rehearsal and on the day was so appreciated. She is very talented at stitching together a beautiful account of how you met and your love story, based on the detailed questionnaires you complete individually in the months before the wedding. She also expertly weaves in some humour and gets some laughs from the guests, especially with the 'secret promises' part of the ceremony- we loved this.Michelle was fantastic at communication and always kept us up to date and informed with what steps were next in the process. We also appreciated that she sent through a draft of the ceremony script (minus the surprise parts) so that we could confirm details and suggest any changes we might like to make. We felt super confident with her as our celebrant and we felt so connected to her that we would absolutely be friends outside of the wedding world.We are looking forward to catching up with her in the coming years to reminisce on our big day and thank her in person for the special role she played in our love story. We love you, Michelle! - Maddie and Daniel Weatherburn

I cannot recommend Michelle more highly. Super friendly and easy to talk to, and took us through the process and was on call with any questions at any time. We honestly couldn't imagine a ceremony going better, we laughed and cried and just felt like it was so fun and personal. The guests commented how great the ceremony was after as well. Thanks again Mich. x

When looking for a celebrant for our wedding we wanted someone easy going and approachable, but still professional for our wedding. From the first meeting with Michelle we knew straight away that she had the vibe that we were after. She totally understood what we were after for the wedding ceremony and tailored a ceremony to suit us. During the ceremony she engaged the guests with her friendly and warm character, and did an excellent job of keeping everything flowing smoothly.Her attention to detail with all the small things is what we loved most. Having each of our vows printed for us on nice backing so we weren’t fumbling around with pieces of paper is a good example of this.Thank you again Michelle. We will recommend you wherever we can.Adrian and Zoe

Michelle was all we could want for in a celebrant. She was professional, relaxed and made the whole experience so much fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible celebrant.

We loved working with Michelle, we knew straight away she was the one to support us, and marry us on our special day!Michelle's warm, calm and friendly nature was evident upon first chatting with her over the phone and at every meeting after.Michelle got us, and our story so right on the day, and everything went smoothly, including her husband helping out last minute.My husband and I would definitely recommend Coal Coast Celebrant - Michelle Preston for your wedding day!Michael & Karen x
