Officiating Testimonials
Eryn S. Married on 17/06/2022 5 out of 5 rating 5.0 Such a lovely and kind human being 🥰 Working with Reverend Cindilee to officiant our wedding was an absolute honour and privilege. She was simply outstanding and I can highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding officiant. From the moment we met, I knew that we were in good hands and that our wedding would align with our personal values. It was really important to my now husband and I that we acknowledge the land where we live and where we were getting married. We also wanted to have a fairly simplistic and relatively short ceremony. Reverend Cindilee offered us wedding templates to work from as a guide and also offered us complete freedom and automony to customize our ceremony the way we wanted it to be. We had the opportunity to meet a few times with Reverend Cindilee before the ceremony, including a rehearsal the night before, and everything went so smoothly on the wedding day due to her leadership and guidance. Reverend Cindilee was super quick and responsive to any inquiries we had and made sure we felt very well prepared for our wedding. Following the wedding, Reverend Cindilee was also very quick to send us all of our wedding documentation required. Finally, Reverend Cindilee went over and above anything you could have asked for by facilitating a donation we wanted to make to Indigenous programming in lieu of wedding favors to our guests. She is such a wonderful human being and I feel so lucky to have had her facilitate our nuptials. I look forward to keeping in touch with her for years to come. With admiration and respect, Eryn
