Hi Jacqui, Oh my god what a fabulous day. The ceremony was perfect and so many of our guests commented on how great you were with organising the guests, entertaining them and especially love the idea of passing around the rings. It was just what we wanted and couldn't have asked for a better day. Love your sense of humour and the way you personalised our ceremony for us.
Thanks again for such a magical ceremony!! Married life is great although not much has changed...still the same old Dani & Sean, which is what I love. -  Dani xx

Myles & Tennille - pure romance and beautyMyles & Tennille having a laugh with their Celebrant Jacqui PattersonMyles & Tennille looking very stylish at the front of RaesMy Hubby Myles and I wanted less of a Wedding and more of a celebration. To create a fun and relaxed vibe for all of our guests that had travelled from all corners of the globe to join us on our special day.
The fun,relaxed vibe all stems from the celebrant and the celebrant can make or BREAK the most important day of your lives! I've been to Weddings in the past where the celebrants were boring, monotone and the ceremonies felt like they dragged on for ever! We were adamant we DID NOT want this - a simple google search and I came across the Champagne Celebrant and I thought "one of the things we love most as a couple is Champagne, so this must be a sign"! I emailed Jacqui who suggested we meet over Skype as Myles and I are based overseas. Within the first five minutes of the Skype meet - I knew that Jacqui was the Celebrant for us and that she would be the "one" to deliver a relaxed, fun filled ceremony.. and I was not wrong, she sure did deliver!!
Jacqui went above and beyond to ensure our day was even more magical than we could possibly dream - she had the guests in tears of laughter and made sure our celebration started off with a bang! She mingled with all of of our family and friends as they arrived and I could have sworn it felt like her and her Hubby Gary had been apart of our lives forever!
Gary had his professional camera on hand to catch those special moments and the photos were posted for us on FaceBook faster than we could say "I DO"! This was great as it was a location Wedding for us and many of our friends from overseas could not join us - so they were able to see the photos online and still felt as though they were part of our special day!
At the reception Jacqui and Gary called in to further mingle with our guests whilst Myles and I were off having our photographs taken. All of the guests could not congratulate us enough on our choice of celebrant and I believe a Wedding Guest or two already have Jacqui in line for their  up and coming nuptials.
Jacqui Patterson is professional, down to earth, hilarious, fun and a real joy to be around, one of those people you feel like you have known forever - If you want to create a fun atmosphere for yourselves and your guests - a day that everyone will continue to talk about forever - a day that will truly be the best day of your lives, then honestly look no further "The Champagne Celebrant" is your girl!
From one Bride to another; your Celebrant choice is one of your most important decisions when organizing your Wedding -  and I thank you Jacqui for making that decision so easy, you were a pleasure to deal with and you were a highlight of our day...Myles and I look forward to having you in our lives forever.

Neil & Amanda signing on the dotted lineNeil & Amanda cracking up at their weddingNeil & Amanda sharing a joke with Jacqui Patterson“Jacqui went the extra mile to ensure our wedding went smoothly. She has a natural easy going style that makes you feel as though she’s been part of the family for years. We had many challenges to manage on the day from horizontal rain to a changing location, and Jacqui remained flexible and happy to go with the evolving plans throughout. Personalising the vows was a great touch as well. 10 out of 10”

Champagne Celebrants Byron Bay Wedding Photo  AlbumRyu & Jess exchanging rings at Byron BayHey Jacqui, When we first set out looking for a celebrant our goal was to chose the cheapest - as we had a budget and we thought they all say the same thing anyway. However when we reflected on some weddings we'd been to, where the celebrant repeatedly mispronounced the brides name or brought up stories of death and cancer to use as analogy of strength, we reconsidered. After all, the ceremony is the whole reason for the wedding day. 

We're so happy we chose Jacqui to be our celebrant. She is a cheerful loving person who wrote a beautiful individualised ceremony speech. She has an obvious passion for making your day special, is well organized, experienced and speaks with clarity so all guests can hear what is being said. 

Her husband Gary also took some beautiful photos of the ceremony which were a lovely touch. Thank you so much Jacqui and Gary.

Matt and Kirsty heading for the beach after their Wedding by Champagne Celebrant BelongilThe Champagne Celebrants Belongil Beach Wedding Photo  AlbumJacqui the champagne celebrant was amazing, vibrant and interesting.  When we met with her we knew she had the right personality to make our ceremony unique.  Jacqui communicated with us regularly throughout the entire process and was more than happy to make as many changes as we wanted even up until immediately before the ceremony.  She made us feel so comfortable and at ease from the first moment we met her.  On the day she was well presented, spoke loudly and clearly and had wording that was memorable so that the guests were captivated and engrossed in the entire ceremony.  The celebrant really sets the scene for the entire ceremony and with Jacqui we were confident that her extra special touches and interesting ideas made all the difference to make our special day truly magical.  We cannot thank her enough.  Kirstie & Matt Tolley (Qld)

Dieter and Kylie enjoying their beach Wedding at Clarkes Beach Byron BayThe Champagne Celebrants Byron Bay Wedding Photo  AlbumJacqui was such a calm and helpful influence the whole way through our 'wedding journey'. She was able to offer advice every step of the way and made the process simple and easy. From the moment we first met for coffee at the Byron Beach Cafe we knew we'd chosen the right celebrant. Over the next 12 months of planning Jacqui was always available on email or phone to answer even the most random of questions! Jacqui's warm, friendly and down-to-earth nature was simply perfect and we loved the energy and commitment she put in to our ceremony. She was even the first on the phone the minute it rained on the morning of our wedding to assure us the sun would be out by 5pm... and it was! Thank you Jacqui for a job well done. You will always have a special place in our hearts for making our wedding day so magical. Love Kylie and Dieter xx
