Sally Smither Harvey Ceremony Celebrant

Sally was absolutely incredible, from the very first contact, to subsequent Zoom calls, as well as in-person meetings, and ultimately at our wedding itself. Sally got to know us both, as well as our young daughter, so she could bring a really personal touch to the day. She happily put up with our lax approach the wedding and coaxed us towards decisions like a pro. She's also just a very, very lovely person, which always helps! We would highly recommend Sally, without hesitation.

We chose Sally to perform our wedding ceremony in the New Forest in September 2022 and couldn't be more glad that we did.From our first call, it was clear that Sally was thorough and determined to customise our day to make it special and personal to us.Sally was always contactable and offered tweaks and suggestions to the format and wording of the ceremony and her questionnaires gave us a chance to reflect on what we really wanted to convey to our guests.On the day, we could not have been more pleased with the professional yet fun approach Sally took to our ceremony, something many of our guests also commented on.We would highly recommend Sally, she was exactly the celebrant we we had hoped for!

Dear Sally,We cannot thank you enough for the incredibly meaningful and personalised ceremony you created for our wedding. Your attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of our love story made the day even more special.Your words were heartfelt, and your guidance throughout the process was invaluable. We felt comfortable and confident in your hands from start to finish, and the ceremony you crafted for us was truly unforgettable.We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and personalised the ceremony was. It truly reflected our love story and the commitment we made to each other, and that is all thanks to you.We feel incredibly lucky to have had you as our celebrant, and we cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into making our day unforgettable. We will cherish the memories of our ceremony forever, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.Thank you again for everything.

We can’t recommend Sally enough as a celebrant. We felt heard throughout the whole process of creating our perfect ceremony. Sally listened to everything we wanted to include and advised us with her wealth of experience on things that we’re unsure about, offering ideas and solutions we hadn’t thought or known about before.Sally is such a lovely warm person and her presence shines through whilst she works to make the couple shine too. We were inundated with guests saying the ceremony was the most special they had ever been to. Some saying they had not listened to the words of a wedding for years as they’re usually all the same, but that they listened to every word of this.Sally knows how to make her couples feel truly valued and creates ceremonies unique to them.She kept the groom grounded and calm before the ceremony & helped our friend learn how to do an infinity knot for our handfasting. she was also so flexible with a last minute change of ceremony time so that we could wait for the sun to shine down on us. We have the most treasured memories from our ceremony.Sally will make your ceremony as special and unique as you are.

The ceremony was customized to exactly what we wanted. We receive great communication before the ceremony to make sure everything was planned and arranged. The help we got with our vows was also a massive stress reliever, as we both were unsure of what to write and how to lay it out. The ceremony went smoothly with no issues, and everyone enjoyed it, Sally was very understanding of what style of ceremony we wanted and helped us achieve it. Overall, a great experience, and I would highly encourage people to hire Sally for their wedding day.

Sally was wonderful. She tailored the whole ceremony to be perfectly fitting to our very international wedding. She also got to know us and our story as a couple and made the ceremony feel very much like us" - including humorous bits as well as serious and romantic bits. I had several guests later comment that the ceremony was perfect - from what was said to timing - not too long

Having worked with Sally for many years at numerous weddings, many of which were intimate elopements. I can highly recommend Sally as the perfect celebrant for your ceremony. Sally is caring and considerate, not just to her couples and their guests but also to suppliers such as myself (a photographer) always ensuring that everything is in place to ensure the couples experience (and resulting photos) are the best they could possibly be. A great listener and people person with a sense of humour (which is something sadly missing in so many!) Sally will make the most important part of your wedding day a ceremony to remember. Highly experienced and recommended.

Sally was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about making our ceremony personalised to us, and it came out beautifully.Sally was also lovely to speak to, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does.As a couple we weren't particularly confident on the process, so having Sally to guide us was super helpful.I would definitely recommend her services.

A truly lovely experienceWe were so lucky to have Sally as a Celebrant at our wedding in 2019 as she made great friends with Bruce our Labrador who was the only guest, and that was very important to us. She spent time talking to us prior to the wedding, with lots of advice and making sure we were happy with the wording of the service and the content of our marriage vows. Thank you Sally, we really appreciated your time and effort. Michaela, Peter and Bruce

Sally was our celebrant at our wedding over the Easter weekend. She was brilliant all through, from initial contact to ceremony. She took time to understand us and our background, and had a great balance of giving her ideas while incorporating ours. The day itself went seamlessly, Sally put everyone at ease and was a huge part of making the day so enjoyable. Would strongly recommend Sally for any celebration you may be planning.
