Celebrants Canberra Julie Rattenbury

Julie was our celebrant for our wedding on 20/03/2021. We are so incredibly grateful for Julie who did a fantastic job, helped us understand everything we needed to know, communication was great and prepared us for our big day. Just made everything so easy and memorable. Julie is such a beautiful, kind and considerate soul! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else in assisting you in your big day! Thank you so much Julie for absolutely everything.

Julie is the most amazing, authentic, loving person. She captured our day with so much passion and dedication. Our ceremony was unique to us and filled with so much joy. We are so blessed to have had Julie marry us and share our special day.

We are so very pleased we chose Julie to be our wedding celebrant. She really did make everything so easy, while guiding us through designing our perfect wedding ceremony. She was always available to us for any questions we had and offered valuable advice on things that we hadn’t even thought of. It was great to spend the time with her the day before our wedding to finalise paperwork and rehearse how the day would go, which made us feel at ease, knowing Julie understood our expectations. She is a lovely, funny and confident lady who speaks very well as well as being able to command a room with ease and warmth.

We can't thank Julie enough for everything she did to make our day so perfect! Every meeting with Julie leading up to the big day she managed to make a special event. We were so impressed as well with her thorough rehearsal, which made everyone from our 2.5 year old flower girl to my dad, and of course us, so comfortable with the flow of the ceremony. Her knowledge and experience of things we wouldn't have ever thought about just made the biggest moment of our lives that bit more perfect. We are so appreciative of everything she did, and the extra time and effort she put into adding a Chinese tea serving ceremony into our ceremony as well. We highly rate Julie Rattenbury, we couldn't imagine anyone else kicking off the first day of the rest of our lives.

Julie is a true delight! Really appreciate that you create a such an intimate and small wedding for us. Highly recommend!

Julie worked with us to make sure the day captured what was important and special to us, but also our respective personalities and the atmosphere we wanted for the ceremony. She supported us in ensuring that all the requirements were met of the ceremony were met with cues and prompts, but was also open to supporting and facilitating the spontaneous elements of the ceremony with our family and friends. We would highly recommend Julie for anyone’s special day. Maree and Brett

Jules was amazing. We organised a short notice wedding (5 weeks) and Jules was on board with us straight away. She got straight back to us, helped us plan a small and intimate ceremony that was very much our style, and made us both feel super relaxed for what was the best day of both of our lives so far. She made it personal and fun, and we never felt there was an awkward moment. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebrant and couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking.

We couldn't have made a better choice than to go with Julie as our celebrant! She clearly loves what she does, evidence by the thought, care and enthusiasm she brings to each meeting. She guided us through the event and made it so personal to us. I was a bucket of nerves and my husband was totally clueless about what to do before we met Julie. However, from the first meeting Julie gave us the feeling that it was all going to be okay. We wanted a small wedding that was deeply personal and a little bit quirky. She created the most perfect ceremony for us. There wasn't a dry eye in the audience. She helped my husband and I stay calm and happy during the night so we could focus on the love we felt for each other, our friends and our families. Thank you so much Julie for gifting us this magical night. We'll remember it always.

We felt so lucky to have Julie be our celebrant and we were so happy with our ceremony. We wanted a small ceremony and from our first meeting, Julie was professional and friendly, guiding us through the procedures and what can be expected in the days leading up to the event. On the day itself, Julie guided us with a quick run through and though we didn’t have music selected, she was able to pick a song to reflect us and time it so well with our walk in. Julie’s passion for her job is evident in her enthusiasm, energy, and warmth to create a seamless and beautiful ceremony. We all felt so comfortable with her and our guests really loved her and her fun and bright energy. Post ceremony, Julie took care of and kept us updated on the legals and paperwork. The whole process was made super easy for us. Thank you so much for marrying us and making our ceremony so memorable and special! We highly recommend Julie as a celebrant to anyone!
