Gold Coast Helicopter Adventure Wedding 5000' Up at 200KMPH

Testimonial Candy & Joe
Dear Marilyn, Thank you for weaving your magic on our special day.  We went through many websites until we came across yours and were captivated initially by your spiritual style of ceremony and the fact you were a resource of information and suitable locations. We wanted a boutique wedding but something that was different and memorable. When we came up with the idea of getting married in a Helicopter, you were as excited as we were – why not get married 5000 feet over Main Beach at 200KMPH on a glorious Gold Coast Day! Sounded crazy at the time but you took control and eliminated so much pressure for us. On the day you united Candy and myself with your beautiful words. The icing on the cake was making my son Michael part of the ceremony and having special vows that united the three of us all as one. For anyone that is looking for a special person that will be as passionate about their day as you are, it is impossible to go past you. Thankyou Sincerely for your passion and inspiration. Candy and Joe XXX

Kelli & Ben's Wedding Ceremony at the Pass in Byron Bay, Northern NSW. Byron Bay is a very spiritual place where Dolphins and Whales pass by just off shore and the sand is golden and the weather is perfect most of the year.

Testimonial from Ben & Kelli
"We had no idea of what had to be done for a wedding so the emails and phone calls from Marilyn were really helpful as we were planning long distance from Darwin. When we met Marilyn face to face it was fantastic, it really helped to calm our nerves. It was really nice to meet Marilyn. She gave us a Wedding Resource Pack and heaps of choices in her online resources that we were happy with. The ceremony was perfect and we felt really comfortable with Marilyn. The length of the ceremony was perfect and the ceremony booklets she made for us were gorgeous, we loved them! The wedding fees were excellent and affordable. Ben and I would like to thank Marilyn for taking photos with my camera and her husband for videoing the entire ceremony and editing it as a gift to us"

Testimonial Tim & Melissa McKinnon
We both wanted to say a big thank you for giving us such a beautiful ceremony. Even with all of the lead being done over the phone, due to us living in Melbourne, you were very organised & calming. We had a truly fabulous time and our ceremony was just perfect!  Thank you for all your help and advice in the planning and for being so professional, yet subtle and gorgeous on the most special day of our lives. Thank you again...Tim & Melissa McKinnon

Georgia and Greg had a simple, fun and relaxed Wedding Ceremony on the balcony of the magnificent Netanya Resort at Noosa Heads. We were overlooking the beautiful and tranquil Noosa Beach on the northern Sunshine Coast. They planned their Marriage remotely with Marilyn Verschuure from their home in Sydney by email and phone. Georgia's cousin Sonia decided to help them organise their wedding by finding a celebrant so she googled celebrants and found the Marry Me Marilyn website. Marilyn helped with the legal organisation and paperwork and created a beautiful Wedding Ceremony for them to match their glorious location.

Kirsty & Vladimir's friends and family celebrate their marriage at their wedding with Marilyn Verschuure at picturesque Hinterland Glengariff Historic Estate and Winery in the Dayboro Valley north of Brisbane.
