Ritu and Kiran Testimonial

Hillstone St Lucia

We were in a time rush to find a celebrant in QLD due to unforeseeable circumstances and
Elva made the process seamless and easy – we were so grateful for her.

She is extremely organised and created a beautiful ceremony with personal touches and saved us so much stress.

She is very attentive and responds almost right away, so was very easy to communicate any changes with.

Even after the wedding, she was on top of all the paperwork and we had our legal marriage certificate
delivered to our house within a few weeks without any issues.

Olivia & David Testimonial

The Golden Ox, Margate, Brisbane

Elva was a fantastic addition to our wedding.

Upon meeting Elva for the first time we were both at ease with her warm
authentic personality shining through.

We explained to Elva that because of time constraints and tight schedule
due to photography and restaurant times we needed a short ceremony.

Elva assured us that no matter how long or short we need our ceremony to
be we wouldn’t lose the heartfelt, intimate experience we were hoping for.

Elva delivered on her guarantee and then some.The ceremony was warm,
heartfelt and personalised, just as we had wished for.

There were tears of joy and moments of laughter all throughout and we
had plenty of guests comment throughout the evening and in the days that
followed about what a great choice we had made with Elva as our celebrant.

Elva is the gold standard when it comes to wedding celebrants.

Mikala & Sam Testimonial

Wellington Point, Redlands

I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us during this difficult time.
With the current Brisbane lockdowns all our wedding plans changed very quickly.
Unfortunately, the day we had originally planned had to be cancelled but you made sure that we could still get married regardless.
You helped us find a place to hold our small ceremony and you made it an incredible day.
Our children and our parents were there and that’s more than we could ever ask for.
You were accommodating of our little family and the ceremony was small, intimate, and completely us.
We are so incredibly thankful of you and the day that you helped give us yesterday.
Your calm and welcoming demeanour helped us feel comfortable in such a public setting.
While it wasn’t the day we planned, we had the greatest and most special day and we truly have you to thank for that.
We would recommend you to everyone we know.
Lots of love.
