Where to begin! Finding the right words to describe how incredible Kellie was and what she added to our day has been near impossible. From the first email contact we knew we were in great hands, Kellie’s warm and friendly nature was evident instantly. We were immediately put at ease after our first video call and she held our hands through the entire process. We were so lucky to have Kellie for the entire day, everything went without a hitch with her at the helm. A true professional in what she does, but most importantly, a fantastic person who truly cares about her couples and is passionate about providing the most memorable service. Kellie brought emotion, fun, and laughter to our day and we are forever grateful. All of our family and friends say it’s the best wedding ceremony they have ever been at! We cannot say thank you enough Kellie!

Quinta dos Santos, Carvoeiro

We chose Kellie as our celebrant for our Algarve wedding in September 2024. From the outset we connected with Kellie and were very pleased she took time to meet us in person when we visited the algarve a year before the ceremony. She was super organised and communicated everything, even the teeny little details, and was very relaxed but on the ball. The ceremony was seamless and a true reflection of us as a couple. We would definitely recommend choosing Kellie for your special day!

Where do we start
We booked Kellie after booking our dream villa where we were staying for the week to host our wedding . Searching Celebrants was the first thing we done we knew very little about the process and legalities of weddings in Portugal read reviews on Kellie and watched some of the fabulous weddings Kellie had officiated that was the easiest decision we made in the planning of our wedding. That was 16 months prior to our wedding.Kellie advised us on what the options were and we chose to do all the legalities at home before our ceremony in Portugal best decision.
We had a zoom call with Kellie early on what a gorgeous lady she was definitely a perfect choice. We filled in some questions about our lives together how we met special times etc. Over the months of planning if I was ever unsure about any service providers I would message Kellie and she would check them out and even let me know of any that had worked on her weddings. As planning a wedding from the Uk can be a bit daunting when you don’t have a wedding planner but I would definitely recommend it was a dream planning it knowing I had Kellie on board. We even booked Kellies husband James as the photographer what a team they are. We spoke over the months then we would speak on a weekly basis then on what’s app on daily basis leading up the the big day. The big day arrived Kellie was absolutely amazing while in the hustle and bustle of me getting pampered she was looking after my husband to be settling his nerves. The ceremony was amazing Kellie turned our 31 years together into a beautiful fairytale there were tears lots of fun and lots of laughter it was amazing our guests loved Kellie just as much as we did .We would 100% recommend Kellie. We speak about our wedding everyday it was nearly four weeks ago and it was the most amazing day of our lives more than we could ever have dreamed of
Thank you Kellie Xx

We got married on 09/09/24 and Kellie was our celebrant. During the lead up to the wedding, any correspondence was answered immediately, meeting booked if required and even a personal video of the service run through to provide to our wedding party. The ceremony was beautifully delivered and felt so intimate and special. Met our brief exactly, which was being as traditional as possible, yet not being religious or too lengthy. All of our guests left it feeling so moved and having an insight of Ben and mines relationship. We feel Kellie set the tone for the rest of the day and kicked off the celebration in the most perfect way.

I think our photo says it all, not only did Kellie take the time to get to know me and my husband Nick, she also performed a wonderful personal service. From my initial enquiry, Kellie is friendly, warm and helpful. She genuinely does care about your big day and I think it’s the little bits of information that she gathers from you that really give it that special touch. I’m so pleased we chose her and I would highly recommend her husband and sons photography business too. Thanks for making it a perfect day!

After recommending the most beautiful location for our wedding, Kellie performed the most incredible ceremony.
The words were so meaningful and relevant to our love story. During the ceremony Kellie performed a hand fasting service which meant our children could be involved.
Not a dry eye around(I am not a person who cries and I struggled to get through my vows haha).
Kellie, thank you so much for our beautiful ceremony, you are amazing at what you do and for every couple that doesn’t have you for their ceremony, really are missing out on something special.

I truly wish there were more than 5 stars to choose from. Kellie made our special day absolutely perfect. Kellie’s initial communication was extremely helpful and reassuring. I was nervous about arranging my wedding online and putting my faith into someone I had never met but I am so grateful I did. After our meeting through zoom all my worries were completely lifted. Kellie was so comforting and we connected immediately. I explained my vision for both the ceremony and location and she hit it out of the park. The ceremony itself was absolutely perfect; she had taken the time to understand us not only as individuals but as couple and made us feel like she had known us from the beginning of our relationship. The location was beyond stunning and her photography and videography team were just as amazing, they captured our day and turned it into a fairytale come true. I cannot express enough gratitude to her for Creating a day beyond my imagination.

Kellie really helped make our special day even more special. She spoke with us by video call, listened to why we wanted to get married and wanted to know our journey together so she could reflect our thoughts on the big day.
On the day, Kellie arrived on time and liased with the musician to ensure the ceremony went seamlessly. She helped both of us with nerves and delivered a lovely ceremony that made many of our guests smile. We would like to thank Kellie for all she did for us.

Hi Kellie, sorry this has taken me a while to send to you it’s been a whirlwind since we’ve returned home. We want to thank you for doing such an amazing job, we really were over the moon with the ceremony you put together for us it was absolutely spot on. Our guests have all commented on how wonderful & personal it was with some lovely heart felt moments & a little humour added in also. You made the whole planning process so easy & set us at ease as soon as we made contact with you thank you for your prompt replies to our emails & coming to meet us back in January to go over everything we really can’t recommend you enough.
Also choosing James for the photography & video along with yourself & the rest of the team was a great decision, we actually would have loved you to host our whole day as you were all so good! We loved you giving us the option to have the guest telephone, we’ve listened through our messages & am so pleased you offered this to us it’s been so lovely listening to them all. Thank you & we look forward to seeing the professional video & pictures soon. Love Clare & Paul xx
