A SELECTION OF TESTIMONIALS

"We cannot thank you enough for all you did for us at the exciting but rather stressful time of arranging our wedding - not only were you a spiritual and emotional pillar for us (and our families) throughout but you also created the most wonderful and personalised ceremony we could have wished for, particularly given our circumstances of coming from two different religious and cultural backgrounds.  To have such a unique ceremony (with aspects of both religion's traditions and symbolisms intertwined) that was deeply meaningful to us and our families, as well as being enjoyable for all present, was just brilliant.  It was certainly no easy task but we were so delighted and relieved to find you and realise our dream could become a reality.  So many people have since said how beautiful the ceremony you created was (we're still talking about it now!) and how fascinating you are as a person when you kindly stayed behind to talk to guests after the ceremony.  We would, of course, happily speak to any prospective clients to further reiterate how great we think you are and how pleased we were with everything you did for us.   With very best wishes and oodles of thanks"

"Our wedding day was beautiful, everything that we had both dreamed of and really just perfect. The service was just so right and you told our story with such tenderness and in a way that was so honest and real.  

Our ceremony truly was a celebration of the love and faith that we have been blessed with and I hope and know that with your love and guidance we touched the hearts of many of those who witnessed our commitment to each other.

Akasha, on a practical level you gave us so much support and many a gentle, and some firmer reminders during our planning and we are very grateful for that, as our relaxed attitude may have caused problems if you hadn't. 

You shared my doubts and my worries and your reassuring words always lacked judgement, you just understood. Thank-you again Akasha for being there and going far beyond what I thought your role would be."

"Rev. Akasha was a very reassuring presence in planning our wedding ceremony, and helped us create a wonderful ceremony, that felt right for our wedding and was enjoyed by our families and guests. She led us through the process of thinking and deciding what was right for us with care, insight and consideration. We appreciated how well prepared & professional she was, all the time and attention she gave us and we found the examples, readings and talking through of ceremony types helpful in shaping our own thoughts. Having someone who listened carefully and asked good questions felt supportive and allowed us to explore what it meant for us.

We felt reassured and able to relax on the day knowing that Akasha had the assurance, presence and confidence to hold the ceremony and lead everyone through it.

We have had lots of letters and comments from friends and family that have said how much they enjoyed the ceremony - many have said it was the best wedding they have been to! Many have also said how moving it was, there were a lot of teary eyes!

One of our guests said, “I thought it was good because amongst the congregation there were religious people and staunch atheists and the service was interpretable in a positive light by the religious and atheists alike. It didn’t alienate and felt inclusive and had meaning for all.
