Hi Jacqui
Just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU for Saturday! You were fabulous and really made the day special for Nat and I. |

Jacqui 'The Champagne Celebrant', you were fabulous! Thank you so much for making our wedding such a fun and relaxing day. The ceremony was so heartfelt and personal, and your down-to-earth nature made it so unique. I loved it!! So many of our friends and family commented on how brilliant you were :) and having Gary's beautiful photographs on fb straight away was great! |

  Hi Jackie, We just wanted to send you a big thank you for all the work that you did to make our special day extra special.I knew from the minute I heard you as the celebrant for our friends wedding that I had found the right celebrant for us!! You have an easy going, fun, laid back yet intimate approach that makes everyone feel involved and makes the whole wonderful experience extra special. Feedback from everyone who attended was that they thoroughly enjoyed the day as much as we did! You worked not only well with both my husband and I, but also our little seventeen month old daughter. We certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any other couples looking to get married :) Much love, Fleur, Martyn, Lily (and now Oliver!) xxxx |

Hi Jacqui, A HUMUNGOUS thank you for creating such a special day at Fig Tree on Sunday 6th May 2012! You were such a fabulous celebrant and we could not have wished for anyone better. Plus your husbands photos were AMAZING! So special to have them on facebook for those to see who couldn't make it. We have been to a wedding since ours and it just reiterated to us how much of an important part a celebrant is to a wedding. You had the right look, tone of voice, seriousness, positivity, fun and comedic personality to add to our wedding day. Numerous people commented on how great a celebrant you were! Thank you for presenting such a fun and personable ceremony. We have, and will continue to recommend your services!Warm wishes,Kirsty and Mitch Afflick :) |
"JACQUI... I truly had the best day of my life on my wedding day - all I can say is thank goodness for you! You were so calm and organised . Ricky said he could have easily fallen into a heap but he said you were truly his lifesaver. Our ceremony - WOW. You made it so personal and special. Family are still commenting on 'that celebrant' as to how fantastic you were. It made it so special that you took the time to get to know 'our story'. We can't thank you enough for making our day run as smoothly as it possibly could. Thanks you so much. Love Erica and Ricky XXX "

 After my mum recovered from her 'pearl clutch' moment when I said we weren't having a pastor to conduct our ceremony it was important for me to find someone who was warm, heartfelt, fun and relaxed. I had been to weddings where the celebrant seemed like they were just 'going through the motions' and I had seen a priest fumble with the names of the bride and groom and trot out the same spiel. I love champagne and so that was my initial attraction to Jacqui but after Liam and I met her, we had an instant rapport that confirmed we had the right person. Like a true professional Jacqui handled a few goodnatured hecklers like a well seasoned comedian and many of my guests came up to me throughout the evening and said how warm, funny, heartfelt and relaxed the ceremony was. And one of those guests was my mum.xxx - Liam & Nicole |
 Jacqui made our wedding day so very special. We were wanting to make the day as much fun as possible and Jacqui certainly went above and beyond for us. She made our ceremony light hearted while at the same time very intimate and special. Most of our guests were saying it was the most beautiful ceremony they had been to and everyone said how special is was to be able to witness it. We got married near Boulders Beach in this isolated area that Jacqui recommended for us and it was perfect.Thank you so much Jacqui for making our first moments as husband and wife truly amazing and memorable for us and thank you Gary for your unbelievably beautiful photos at the ceremony. I would certainly recommend the Champagne Celebrant to anyone looking at taking the plunge, Jacqui is a beautiful, fun person who will make anyone's wedding something special that everyone will remember. We couldn't have asked for anything more. All our love Krystal and Shannon Hunter (NSW) |

 Once again I would like to say thank you! As I walked down the isle I knew this was going to be a day to remember. Well what can we say Jacqui and her husband are a perfect team, the guests are still talking about them, some of the comments were they had never been to a wedding that was so funny, down to earth and beautiful all at the same time even asking me for their number. Oh I can't forget to mention the photos what a great job, capturing the day perfectly and so stunning. I don't think I could have found, a better wedding celebrant in my life Jacqui the Champange celebrant was exactly what we hoped for some one who could turn our day to magic - Rickie & Jo |
 Please know that we are truly grateful to both yourself and Gary for opening up your home and letting us get married there. You are a truly delightful couple and I hope we run into you guys again, you're both the type of chilled, fun people we like to mix with and know without a doubt you're both good souls. A big thank you to Gary for taking the pictures, doing the reading and being such a wonderful host. As said before, that's the best darn wedding I've been to!!! Cheers Werner & Deb |
 Jacqui, thank you so much for making our day so special. We couldn't have chosen a better celebrant! After meeting you on the very first visit, we felt like we had known you for a lifetime! You knew exactly what we wanted out of the ceremony and what kind of atmosphere we wanted to achieve. You were able to make our ceremony very personal and unique, humerous and relaxed yet very professional at the same time - we had many of our guests comment on how fantastic you were. You made the ceremony our favourite part of the entire day. A special thanks goes out to your husband who took fantastic photos on the day and helped our families set up for the beautiful ceremony. Sincerely, Sean and Anita. |
 Hi Jacqui,Thank you so much for making our day so special, we had the best day and would have not wanted it any other way. We are very grateful for all your help and making everything so easy for us, we loved the part our story we had many laughs reading it over and over again. Our guests also commented on how relaxed everything was and we could not be happier as that was perfect for us. Thank you for being such an important part in our special day. Cheers Joel and Hayley P.S- The photos were great; it was so good waking up to see them in the morning. |
 Hi Jacqui, Thankyou for your help in organising our wedding ceremony. We are very grateful for all your assistance and we were pleased to have shared our special day with you. You made us feel so comfortable and everything was made so easy with your calm and professional approach. It was the "BEST DAY ON EARTH" It was so much fun, we want to do it again. Thankyou very much Murray & Jules |
 We interviewed several marriage celebrants before we met Jacqui, and instantly we knew we'd found the right person. It was a superb decision! Jacqui took time to find out exactly what type of atmosphere we wanted to create for our wedding, she gave us masses of great ideas and recommended a caterer and photographer, both of whom were fantastic. We wanted, and achieved, a wedding that was full of fun, happiness and laughter - Jacqui contributed enormously to this. Many of our friends said they'd never come across a marriage celebrant who was so vibrant, and still very professional in her approach. We highly recommend Jacqui as the best champagne wedding celebrant around! Paul & Esther |
 Hi Jacqui, We would like to send our heartfelt thanks to you for making our big day so memorable! You are an amazing person with a huge caring heart, and your attention to detail and your sense of humour made our day just that much more special! You went out of your way to make it personal to us, and your professional but very down to earth approach was exactly what we were looking for.
We now look at you as not only our celebrant but also our friend. Thank you for taking all the paperwork and organising out of our hands (Oh, and for the champagne!!) Hands down the best celebrant in the area!! :) |
 We just wanted to say another huge thank-you for making our day so incredible. From our first meeting with you to our wedding, you were always so friendly, approachable, easy going and helpful. You made our preparations so stress-free and enjoyable. We loved how you shared so many ideas with us about different types of ceremonies and what we could do to make our wedding special for us. We were also absolutely over the moon (as you know) when you helped us with our ceremony. You took our words and made them amazing! When we think about our ceremony now, we still get emotional, it was just the most beautiful ceremony and we will be forever grateful for everything you did for us (including the yummy champagne). Lots of Love, Liv and Gav Calnan |
 I just wanted to tell you how fantastic you were at our wedding, everything ran so smoothly and everyone commented on what a great job, I mean everyone, was asking where did I find you, can they fly you to Tassie to do weddings and just what a lovely ceremony. You looked fantastic, I loved your purple dress. I really appreciated all the ideas for including little things like the holding both rings with hands out, I think the ceremony was just beautiful. I was on cloud nine for about 3 weeks after. Anyway just wanted to tell you how wonderful it was to have you as part of our special day, you truly did an outstanding job, with the right combination of humour and sincerity. Thank you so much again, I can confidently recommend you as the best celebrant ever to anyone! Hailey (and Jake)

 "Thank you Jacqui for helping us in making our day amazing!! You were everything we wanted in a Celebrant… laid back, funny, nurturing and supportive. You made everything easy and fun!" Thanks, Cass (& Chris) |
 Hi Jacqui, Oh my god, we absolutely love the ceremony!!!! You have done such a fantastic job, knew u would though :)
I couldn't even finish reading it out to Gav without the tears coming...it's so beautiful! I'll have to have tissues for the day for sure! Your ceremony is going to make our day so special, thank you :) Chat soon, From Olivia :) |
 Hey Jacqui! Here is our little testimonial - better late than never! We cannot thank you enough for what a fantastic job you did for our wedding! Before meeting you we spoke to a number of celebrants who did not fit in with our ideas of a fun and relaxed ceremony. It was such a relief to find someone who was warm, down to earth, practical and focused on making the ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be. The time and effort you put into finding out about our relationship so you could make the ceremony and your introduction personal to us was really above and beyond what we expected. Lots of our guests commented on how the ceremony was so us and how perfect your intro was, and we agree! You are beautiful, bubbly (like your champagne!) and the perfect wedding celebrant! Lots of love Vanessa & Warren |
Dear Jacqui and Gary,
Thank you so much for all your efforts in support of the wedding. We had a great night, and I had the worst '24 hour hangover of doom' that I have had in about 24 years yesterday! Luckily Mrs De Vos did too, so I avoided any abuse! I've seen your note re the pictures on facebook - as a facebook muppet, I can't work out how to invite you, but will get Josh to do so when he comes home tonight - the pictures I can see look great though. Once again, with thanks,
Jan (and Mrs De Vos!)

Hey jacqui, How are you? Back from honeymoon and back to reality... :( 
Dear Jacqui,
Jacqui – thank you so much for helping us create such a special ceremony for our wedding day. The time you took to chat on the phone, information provided and our great face to face catch up all gave us a good sense of how we could work with you to create our perfect ceremony. 
Thankyou to Jacqui and her lovely Gary for making our day just has we had wanted. I was very apprehensive about booking a celebrant, as they seem to make or break a ceremony. Jacqui was lovely and relaxed and funny throughout our entire ceremony and we wouldn’t have asked for anything different. Jacqui was so chilled out and helpful that I couldn’t have been nervous if I tried! Thankyou Jacqui for the most awesome day, I would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone. 
Hi Jacqui, A massive thank you from Chris and I for performing the most beautiful ceremony ever last weekend. Everyone commented on how intimate and personal it was, with just the right amount of comedy! I was so nervous as we were approaching Fig Tree but once I heard the music and started walking down the aisle, I started to relax and then once I got to Chris and the ceremony got underway, you made me feel even more relaxed. Also, a big thank you to Gary for the beautiful photos, they are amazing!! There is one of myself, Chris and my sister laughing, it's so sweet but none of us can remember what we are laughing about!! It has been so lovely dealing with you over the last 11 months, all the very best to you for the future. 
Couldn't have picked a better celebrant for us!! Jacqui was amazing!! Pre-Wedding she was always just an email or phone call away and always put my mind at ease!! Such a cruisy person to work with!! When it came time for the wedding day she surprised me by popping over to see me in the room I was getting ready in before the ceremony with some lovely words of advice.
"It's the little things that make a huge difference, Jacqui managed to get to know the essence of Dallas and I as a couple and bring that into our ceremony on the day. Our intimate ceremony was made all the more special by having Jacqui there and we had so many positive comments from friends and family about the sincerity and uniqueness of her approach. We would highly recommending putting yourself in Jacqui's capable and special hands." - Beccie and Dallas Fett 
Jacqui Patterson was recommended to us by a friend and we were initially impressed with the professionalism of her website. Upon meeting Jacqui we became confident that she would provide the right balance of warmth, sincerity and professionalism in conducting our wedding ceremony. And so it proved – Jacqui accommodated our requests, gave helpful suggestions and tailored the ceremony to our personal taste and style. On the day, Jacqui made us feel at ease, engaged guests in a friendly and warm way and ensured everything ran smoothly. An added bonus were the photos taken by her husband Gary on the day. We are delighted to recommend Jacqui to anyone contemplating getting married in the Byron Bay area. Cheers
