The absolute best experience we could have asked for . My wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary by renewing our vows and Pat went above and beyond to give us the best day we could ask for. We can’t wait for our 20th anniversary so we can book pat again.

Mr Pat McAnally was the first person that I outlined our situation that after 34 years of engagement that a most admirable decision had been made to get married and. It was said he would be available to come and meet and discuss all formalities

The comprehensive outline of the procedural aspects required was outlined and as we had family members arriving from overseas who would witness the Commitment procedures.

The way in which he handled the service arrangements and then one month later conducted the Marriage service was totally professional and his fees were most reasonable. We have no hesitation to recommend such a delightful and dedicated person.

He slipped in a few jokes which got the guests laughing. He exceeded our expectations and was a pivotal part in making our day so special. Would highly recommend him if you’re after someone that’s understanding, a clear communicator and goes above and beyond for his couples! Thank you again Pat! :)

Proessionally handled all aspects of our wedding ceremony. Also very pleasant to deal with and will recomend him.

Pat is great! Very professional and helpful! I definitely recommend Pat if you are getting married!

We recently got married by Patrick, Patrick was truely amazing. Once we emailed we received a very prompt response and before we knew it we were having a cup of tea and discussing our day. Once we met Patrick we both knew he was the celebrant we wanted to marry us by his warm kind hearted nature, professional, sense of humour and understanding to attention to detail. He made sure our wedding was extremely personalised as I was born in Ireland and my husband being half Irish, Patrick wanted to incorporate our cultural tradition’s into our ceremony, through this we added an Irish poem, prayers and a scripture while placing an Irish cloth over our hands as we united together. Patrick sent us different scripts, poems and prayers which gave myself and my husband the opportunity to choose which one suited us best. Patrick really created the most sentimental…

Pat is a lovely, caring and professional wedding celebrant which we were lucky enough to have met. Since our first meeting, to the professionalism on the special day and the follow up with the marriage certificate he was excellent. We had the most magical intimate wedding and we highly recommend his service.

Pat delivered our ceremony wonderfully. We searched around for a few celebrants but some wanted you to pay before even talking to them so it was really lucky we were able to find him and meet before the ceremony. He was easy to talk to and he even gave us a beautiful gift of honey from his very own beehive. Even though it was just a civil union, he gave us the chance to write our own vows and choose whether we wanted other items as part of the day. He was on time and very prompt when we had questions. It was a really comfortable experience. I did like as well, his Irish accent and he assisted my husband in getting through his nerves as the ceremony began. Definitely would recommend Pat to anyone wanting a great & affordable experience.

Pat was exactly what we were looking for for our Wedding ceremony. He did a marvelous and thoughtful job and made our day so special. We would happily recommend him!

Our experience with Pat was first class Pat lead us through the process with the paperwork flawlessly and kept us informed and updated. My nerves were quickly calmed on the big day with Pats humor and professionalism. He felt like a part of the family on our special day . Forever grateful, thanks Pat

Thank You Pat for Everything. It was an a perfect day. I also recommend James, who did the visa for my wife.
