Brisbane Celebrant Weds Love Ducks

Brisbane Celebrant Weds Ducks in Love

Glenda J Ashleigh, Brisbane Celebrant weds the delightful love ducks in a ‘first’ for Brisbane. Brisbane ducks will never be the same! These ‘luvducks’ will say ‘I do’ in the beautiful Brisbane Bayside suburb of Manly.

Brisbane ducks will gather to witness the Bride & Groom being joined for evermore in duck love.

The wedding pond is a romantic wedding venue where the Bride & Groom first found love. The Bride & Groom will display their love with a large ‘Love’ sign.

Brisbane Celebrant, Glenda Ashleigh is very good at guiding nervous Brides & Grooms (including ducks) through their romantic wedding vows.

There will be much ‘happy flapping’ when the Groom gives the Bride an affectionate peck at the end of the ceremony.

Brisbane’s Beautiful Bayside

Duck family and friends are delighted that the two ‘luvducks’ will be wed in Brisbane’s Beautiful Bayside.

The Wynnum-Manly-Lota area on Moreton Bay has many great venues for wedding ceremonies all year round. This suits ducks just fine as the water is never far away. Lovely sea breezes during summer days allow ducks to relax and enjoy themselves. Winter days by the bay are a duck’s delight with sunshine glinting on the water.

Garden Wedding – Glenda J Ashleigh Celebrant

Garden Wedding with Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant

A Garden wedding with Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, is just delightful! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and everything is as it should be – perfect! All is well in the garden.

Peg & Pog garden wedding

Parks and gardens in Brisbane, Queensland (fantastic one day, perfect the next!) make great venues for outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, conducts the wedding ceremony just the way that Peg and Pog want.

Everyone feels relaxed and happy. They really enjoy the charming ceremony and the garden setting. The roses are blooming, the grass feel like carpet, and there is plenty of space for all to see.

Garden Weddings & Weather

Providing the sun keeps shining, all will be well for the wedding party, service providers, and of course those very important people, the guests. Delightful! But then, who can control the weather?

A few clouds drift over, and then some more… Quick! Here comes the rain, run! Where do people run to? What do they do when they get there? What do you do with soggy people? A bedraggled bridal party does not look good, especially in photographs and videos.

If you consider holding your wedding ceremony in a garden or one of the many delightful parks in and around Brisbane, be prepared with a ‘rainy day’ option. Is there shelter close to the ceremony area? Is the shelter large enough to provide cover for everyone? You might want to tell guests to bring their ‘brollies or you can provide umbrellas for them.

Be prepared. Check out the shelter option in your chosen park. Avoid becoming a ‘soggie’ on your wedding day! Delight your guests, they will thank you for your good planning.

Highly Recommended!

Just what does ‘highly recommended’ mean? Does a real client make the recommendation and how do you know? Peg & Pog highly recommend Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, however are Peg & Pog real clients? Can you trust the opinions of other people to be the same as yours?

Everyone has different tastes, ideas and expectations about ceremonies and celebrants. There are certain things however, that everyone looks for in a Celebrant.

Firstly, choose a Celebrant you trust to help you have the ceremony that you want. You choose how you want to celebrate your wedding.

Secondly, feel comfortable to share your ideas and wishes openly. You choose what you want to include in your ceremony.

Thirdly, don’t hesitate to ask for help at any stage. You are the client and you deserve the utmost professional care and attention.

Finally, choose a Celebrant who is good value. Celebrant fees vary and so does quality of service. You choose the level of service that fits your needs and wishes that is within your budget.

What are Recommendations?

Recommendations or reviews are feedback that clients give to me as their Celebrant. I ask all my clients for their comments on the services that I provide. These reviews and comments are important to me as they allow me to continually improve and grow the quality of client service. Nobody is perfect and mistakes do occur, however it is the way in which these instances are handled that makes the difference to good client service.

I listen carefully to you so that, together, we create the wedding ceremony that is just right for you. Not only does this take time, experience, and skill, it also requires patience, and understanding your wishes.

Recommendations of Value

Recommendations of value are those that are the original words of clients that describe their experiences of my services. Clients routinely give me feedback and use words such as professional, friendly, organised, enjoy, helpful, and approachable to describe the services I provide as their Celebrant.

However, what do people mean when they use these words, and do other words have the same meaning? The online Oxford Dictionary gives the meanings of these words, and their associated synonyms (similar words) as:

professional

Meaning: “worthy of or appropriate to a professional person; competent, skillful, or assured.” Some synonyms for professional include: “expert, accomplished, adept, excellent, fine, polished, competent, practised, trained, top-notch.”

Clients express their feelings of trust in my expert and practised skills, not only in listening carefully to them, but also in delivering the genuine, honest and personal service that they expect of a professional Celebrant.

friendly

Meaning: “kind and pleasant.” Some synonyms for friendly include: “amiable, cordial, approachable, easy to get along with, communicative, open, good-natured, pleasant.”

Clients appreciate the open and personal approach that I have with them from our first communication. I make your ceremony my business, and establish a friendly and good-natured atmosphere so that we can communicate easily.

organise

Meaning:”arrange systematically; order.” Some synonyms for organise include: “sort, assemble, group, regulate, structure, classify, compile, mould.”

Clients value the orderly and structured manner that I use during the process of getting married. Not only do I handle all the steps in the legal process, I also apply my expertise, skills and knowledge to manage the steps in the process of planning your wedding ceremony.

enjoy

Meaning:”take delight or pleasure in.” Some synonyms for enjoy include: “like, love, delight in, appreciate, be keen on, find/take pleasure in, be entertained by, be pleased by.”

I encourage everyone at the ceremony to delight in the moment. Those special moments in a ceremony that touch hearts are the ones that make delightful memories. These moments are the magic-makers in a ceremony and are the ones that bring the warm, happy smiles to faces.

helpful

Meaning: “giving or ready to give help.” Some synonyms for helpful include: “obliging, considerate, thoughtful, supportive, cooperative, caring.”

I share many suggestions and creative ideas openly and willingly with clients. I love helping people create the ceremony that captures their ideas and wishes. This is the heart of a personalised and unique ceremony that not only makes for an enjoyable one, but also one that is truly memorable.

approachable

Meaning: “friendly and easy to talk to.” Some synonyms for approachable include: “welcoming, pleasant, cordial, accessible, available”

Clients tell me that they feel comfortable when they communicate with me. I am courteous and pleasant in all communication, not only in speaking and writing, but also in non-verbal communication through appearance and the way I conduct myself. I answer questions openly and honestly and in a timely manner.
