Marilyn Verschuure Full Time Civil Marriage Celebrant Gold Coast Brisbane Byron Bay Testimonial Kelly & Ruben Wings Hinterland Retreat Tallai Central Gold Coast South East QLD
If we started this testimonial, words cannot express how beautiful our wedding was, then we would be wrong. Words CAN express our wedding day and those words were the words that you prepared and wrote especially for us Marilyn.  Our wedding guests and the both of us, have still not stopped talking about how special our ceremony was that you prepared for us. It was a perfect day, and if we could have it all over again we would not change any of it. We cannot thank you enough Marilyn for your kindness, patience, generosity, time and help.  You seem to have this special in-sight into knowing exactly what to say and offer, and nothing at all was too much trouble for you.  You made us feel so welcome from the first time meeting you to feeling so comfortable on our wedding day we both felt that we had known you forever.  So in our words thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are truly such a gifted person and fantastic asset to the wedding industry.  We would recommend you to anybody considering getting married.  We cannot thank you enough, Keep up the fantastic work.  Ruben and Kelly xoxox

Marry Me Marilyn Testimonial Sylvia & Christopher Wedding at The Courthouse Restaurant Cleveland Point Redlands
Wow, I can believe it has been two weeks since our wedding and I am writing this letter, so you may know Chris and I think you are the best wedding celebrant in the world! – I think the wedding ceremony, is one of the most important parts of a wedding, where the love, for a bride and groom is declared between themselves, family and friends. I wanted a ceremony, something that was personalised and a ceremony that would captivate our family and friends, not have “just another boring ceremony”. I found the best wedding celebrant in the world – Marilyn – on the internet, and after viewing her website, made phone contact, found her to be helpful, informative and friendly! The next step was meeting up in person and the best I can describe, meeting Marilyn is like meeting a friend, she has genuine warmth and instantly makes you feel at ease – after a cup of coffee, laughter – we got down to the business side of things, where she explains clearly, the different types of ceremonies, giving you as much input as you wish to make, or if you are a busy person – how little. Our ceremony was personally tailored for us, on what we wanted ( Marilyn is a listener and gives great advice and has available amazing resources) – the planning of the ceremony consisted with sending to and fro emails with drafts, (since I wanted a lottt of input, there were lots of emails – no added expense) until we had it just perfect.  Marilyn makes you feel special, as if your wedding is the only wedding she is planning – in fact her attention to detail, would be, as if it was her own wedding. The day itself was beautiful and Marilyn looked beautiful (she consults in colours and what we would like her to wear – she has an extensive wardrobe) as you can imagine, a celebrant is featured in wedding photos! Our true love story and weaving of other magical ceremonies within, had our guests in tears and truly mesmerized from beginning to end.  Marilyn herself delivered the ceremony with meaning – each word she spoke was hung on to by the guests…as she put in 110% effort into creating a feeling of love and wonderment. Now I must include this funny bit, though we all wish our wedding ceremony to go as planned..at times, it doesn't..and the best man and ring bearer forgot the rings – in the car…nothing fazed Marilyn, who asked for the rings to be found ( amidst flurry of car key looking) then proceeded with another part of our ceremony, until the rings were found (some 10 minutes later!).. looking back, the situation was handled with calm, humour and I am sure added to the enjoyment for our guests. Hence if there is a bride to be reading this now, stop thinking, pick up the telephone, it is the best decision you will ever make! And your wedding will be – as you wish it to be…….and hassle free. So, I end this testimonial, with a heart felt thank you to Marilyn, from  Chris and myself, for we see you now, not just as a “celebrant” but a friend who made our day very special, from beginning to the end. Love Chris & Sylvia

Marry Me MarilynTestimonial Lynda & Carl Currumbin Beach Currumbin on the Southern Gold Coast
When we decided to get married, finding a celebrant was one of our first tasks. I contacted quite a few celebrants online but Marilyn was the only one who took the time to call me personally, and after a brief chat and our first meeting we knew we didn't need to look any further. Marilyn was warm, friendly, helpful and genuinely committed to helping us create a special ceremony that really suited us as a couple, even when we weren't exactly sure what we wanted. As the day got closer, she provided us with some wonderful resources and suggestions to help us create a ceremony that was perfect for us. On the day itself, Marilyn was amazing- staying totally calm and relaxed as the rain started during our ceremony, and producing a colourful array of umbrellas to keep us and our guests dry. It was brilliant and made the day extra memorable for us and our guests. So if you a looking for a celebrant who truly cares about creating a unique ceremony and is dedicated and passionate about her work then look no further than this wonderful woman. Thanks again. Lynda and Carl Howard xx

Dear Marilyn, We both want to say a big thank you for making our wedding ceremony so fabulous. You performed the ceremony seamlessly, we were amazed how smoothly it ran. As soon as I saw you on your Marry Me Marilyn website, I knew I wanted to meet you as you looked fun!!! We didn’t want a boring wedding ceremony and you certainly made sure it was super interesting and fun, connecting us as a couple. We loved the ways you involved our family & friends into the ceremony and we especially loved the way you helped us include our son in the most beautiful ways. The secret ceremony we did was great, as it was something we had never seen before and a lot of guests commented on how lovely it was. You were always available and so quickly answered any questions we had and you did so many drafts of our ceremony to make sure it was absolutely perfect! And it was, thank you again!! Love Nicole & Craig Rowe xoxox

“Hi Marilyn, Well, it’s all over and wow it went quick!! 
The most amazing thing I have seen is everyone smiling or laughing in all the photos, all our friends and family have commented on how wonderful the ceremony was and how much fun it was, the love story, the surprise sub ceremony, ring warming, basically everything an average wedding is not.  Anyhoo, I will touch base when I get back from Melbourne for a chat, just wanted again to say thanks again, everything went too quick and I didn’t get to catch up with you two as much as planned but thanks again and hope you had as much fun as we did…
Cheers, Kat & Coops”

Marilyn Verschuure Full Time Civil Marriage Celebrant Gold Coast Brisbane Byron BayTestimonial Fatima and Gordon's Wedding at Point Cartwright Sunshine Coast South East QLD
We met Marilyn by serendipity we progressed through the legals and just ‘the overall’ of how a Marriage Ceremony falls into place.  Marilyn helped us every step of the way with the vision Gordon and I had for the Wedding – especially with the writing of the Ceremony, which was extremely important to us.  Nothing was ever too much for her and she continually offered numerous suggestions and resources – and always with a laugh in her voice.  Gordon and I were married by Marilyn on 20th June at Point Cartwright Beach.  Yes, the rain that threatened all week stayed away whilst all our guests assembled on the beach, but the moment the Ceremony started, it poured! Fortunately, everyone had umbrellas and we felt most blessed by the rain, but from start to finish, Marilyn held us together by her professionalism, strength and grace. In short, I would recommend Marilyn to ANYBODY wanting someone as gracious and as professional as Marilyn.  If you want someone ‘REAL’ and someone who truly gives their ALL, Marilyn is absolutely ONE CELEBRANT IN A MILLION! With Gratitude Marilyn! Fatima & Gordon xoxox

You performed an outstanding ceremony in very trying circumstances – it was just wonderful.  Fatima and Gordy were thrilled and delighted with you and their service. I must say to you that you did a splendid job in your wonderful calm way!  You conducted the ceremony with a lot of class and love and that shows through.  All the feedback from everyone has been nothing but positive.

Marilyn, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so perfect!  From the outset you were friendly, organised, enthusiastic, and most importantly for us, keen to work with us to achieve what we wanted on the day.  Your comprehensive web based resources allowed us consider the endless options and guided us to create our own unique event.   You were endlessly adaptable - not just with organising a wedding from interstate, but with multiple changes to the ceremony, and of course, the very last minute changes to the location due to rain!  Despite things not going to plan with the weather, the ceremony was spontaneously perfect and remained truly heartfelt for us.  We're certain your calmness despite the changes helped so many of our guests also feel and comment on the sincerity of the event.  Your flexibility, positivity and personal approach allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the day - we are ever grateful and would definitely recommend your services to anyone! Thank you again for dealing with our wedding so amazingly! Thank you, Louise & Michael xoxo

"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.

"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 the best ceremony ever! Kelly & Ben

We feel so lucky to have found Marilyn as our celebrant! We met Marilyn after the celebrant we booked cancelled on us and as things go in life it turned out to be a great stroke of luck. From the moment we spoke to her we felt at ease, and the moment we met her we knew that we wanted her as our celebrant. Marilyn is very professional, nothing was a problem, her ideas were very helpful.  Even though the weather was disastrous and the venue was changed Marilyn still made it a bright and cheerful event.  We had a beautiful ceremony Marilyn and some laugher too, thank you so much for all your effort and patience in making a wet day into something so beautiful. We have already recommended Marilyn to friends. Love Karen & Stephen Azzopardi.
