Love Letter Meghan + Jarred Cooper's Naming Ceremony Forestglen Park Browns Plains
Marilyn we loved all of Cooper’s Naming Ceremony especially the way you delivered it! You made me tear up! It was all so beautiful! We loved the part with the meaning of coopers name and the personal part about Jarred and I and the love we have for each other and our little man! It was all around a wonderful naming ceremony Thank you! Love Meghan & Jarred xoxo

Love Letter Kym + Matthew Keaorah Jean Low's Naming Ceremony Tanah Merah Logan
The first moment we met Marilyn we felt she was the celebrant for Keaorah's Naming Ceremony. We found her so friendly and approachable and she gave us plenty of ideas to think about. We came away full of enthusiasm and with a basic plan for the day. We decided on a service which would include the four main elements (fire, wind, water & earth) and to make it more personal we would have family members present the different elements to Keaorah. Marilyn was always easy to contact & prompt to replying to any of our changes/inclusions that we had made. The big day was here & Marilyn arrived with plenty of time to help with our last minute preparations & to familiarise herself with Keaorah's families. She had made a special effort to get to know Keaorah's large families which shone through in her very intimate ceremony. When Marilyn started the ceremony we all felt she was part of our family & it allowed extra family members to feel comfortable enough to contribute to Keaorah's day. Keaorah's Great Grandmother read her a poem, her Great Aunt welcomed her, her Great Uncle sang her a song in Maori & all godparents blessed her for the future. We finished Keaorah's Naming Ceremony by having her cousins release butterflies to wish her a beautiful life and welcome her as Keaorah Jean Low. Everyone was so touched by Marilyn's ceremony there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Afterwards everyone knew that when we have our next ceremony we will definitely be giving Marilyn a call & we all recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant. It's now nearly 6 months on & we still have people talking about how it was such a beautiful, suited ceremony. Our day wouldn't have been so relaxed if it wasn't for Marilyn's meticulous planning, devotion & professionalism. I just want to thank Marilyn so very much for giving us such an unforgettable Naming Ceremony for Keaorah Jean Low.

Marilyn used Neroli an Orange Blossom Essential Oil at the Naming of Keaorah & they had a Butterfly Release.

Love Letter Julie + Barry Naming North Brisbane
We found Marilyn’s ideas for the naming ceremony ideal. She was completely open to any ideas and changes we had and helped to shape our thoughts to create the perfect ceremony.   She was open, honest, easy to talk to and mixed well with all of our family.  She added all those little extra touches that take it from just another ceremony to something memorable for us and our family. Thanks again for everything Marilyn.  Julie, Barry, Cody, Jess and especially Little Eli.

Love Letter Rebecca + Daniel Jaxon's Naming Gold Coast Botanical Gardens Benowa Gold Coast
When I first rang Marilyn to enquire about a baby naming for our son Jaxon she made such a great first impression on me. We chose Marilyn, as our baby naming celebrant, because she knew everything right to do, to make it a perfect day for our ‘lil’ man Jaxon.
Marilyn offered us heaps of resources and choices for our naming ceremony and the ceremony she created for Jaxon was fantastic we were 200% happy! Marilyn we can’t thank you more, for such a wonderful day that you helped us plan. The ceremony was beautiful and we are recommending you to everyone we know! You did such a fantastic job! Thank you so much again for everything you have done, it is very much appreciated! Regards Bec, Dan & Jaxon

Love Letter Carlie + Lloyd Kaylah's Naming Ceremony Tanah Merah Logan
We just want to say another massive THANK YOU for another amazing ceremony you have held for us. You make the lead up so easy which really helps us with the busy lifestyle we lead. Everyone absolutely loved the idea and meaning of the sand ceremony and not to forget the butterfly release for our little princess. This testimonial is short and sweet as our thoughts are still strongly the same as our previous ceremony you conducted for our son Zaide! Love Always Carlie, Lloyd, Zaide & Kaylah xoxo

It is a time to celebrate the present moment and rejoice in the arrival of a new addition to your family. From the time of conception or knowledge of adoption you have envisioned the personality and future development of your child. Godparents/Guide Parents/Mentors/Life Guides/ Earth-Mothers Earth-Parents or even Fairy Godmother may contribute to the physical, mental emotional and spiritual growth of your child. Those appointed to this role are integrated into the ceremony in a beautiful and meaningful way of your choosing.

Carlie & Lloyd help their baby son Zaide sign his Naming Certificate with his finger print to conclude his Naming Ceremony with Marry Me Marilyn.

Love Letter fCarlie + Lloyd Zaide's Naming Ceremony Tanah Merah Logan
Marilyn what can I say you are just amazing. We met you for the first time at our god daughter's naming day held at our place in 2010. After seeing how well her Four Elements Naming Ceremony went along with her Butterfly Release, I knew that when we had our little bub arrive into this world you were our first choice of celebrant to hold our child's naming ceremony. A year and a half later I got to meet you again but this time to organise a ceremony for our son Zaide. We just loved your creativity and all the different styles of ceremonies you had to choose from. We went with the 7 Angel's Ceremony which you wrote especially for us and I can tell you it was spot on. After the ceremony everyone came up to me and could not stop saying how different it was and how they loved it. We also had healing crystals which each represented the chakras in the body along with Zaide's crystals for his star sign. Zaide added a personal touch to all the certificates with a thumb print. At the very end of the ceremony we did a balloon release for each of the guests that attended so everyone could make one wish for Zaide on his journey through life. We also had the family stand and sing a traditional maori song, Aunties and Uncles read out a poem for Zaide too. Oh and not to mention a list of emails from family members who are interstate and overseas sending their best wishes for Zaide. I thank you majorly for putting up with all my emails, changing things around every second day, well that's what it felt like. You were very prompt with returning calls and emails which is always a big bonus. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone of our family and friends if they ever need a celebrant. We can't thank you enough for how special you made this day for us it is definitely never going to be forgotten.
Love Always Carlie, Lloyd & Zaide!

Love Letter Kylie + Kristian Wedding Ceremony + Baby Naming Tiana Eagle Heights Mountain Resort Mt Tamborine 
From the very first time I spoke to Marilyn on the phone I knew she would be perfect for our special day. Ours was a little different as it was for our daughters Naming Day and we did a surprise wedding at the end of that. Marilyn was extremely helpful in making our day so special and individual, as I have a little one to look after I asked Marilyn if she could write the ceremonies for us and then I just changed whatever I needed and together we made it a beautiful day to make our family complete. Marilyn was always open to my suggestions and offered advice if I ever asked anything. Marilyn was always friendly and approachable, and willing to help in any way she could.  We had so many comments from guests on how beautiful our ceremonies were and that it was the best wedding they had ever been too. I would proudly recommend Marilyn to anyone and we will definitely use her for our next baby’s Naming Ceremony.  Thank you so much Marilyn you are a gift from above and we are so lucky that we had you a part of our very special day” Kylie & Kristian xoxo

Love Letter Natasha + Peter Maddison's Naming Ceremony Benowa Gold Coast
Hi Marilyn, Thank you again for making Maddison's naming day symbolic and special. We had a really lovely day. Will be getting in touch if we need a celebrant again! Natasha

Love Letter Anastasia Kollis Daisy Hill Logan
From the day we first met Marilyn she was very warm and extremely helpful.  She went above and beyond to create a personal and intimate ceremony for my daughter's naming day.  She listened to our ideas and used those to draft a beautiful and magical reading that we will hold in our hearts for a long time. On the day she was friendly and outgoing to all our family and friends.  Marilyn spoke really well throughout the reading and there were many positive feedbacks from my family.  We will use Marilyn in the future! and recommend others too!

Love Letter Sharon + William Naming Ceremony Eli North Brisbane
Despite the rain on our day (which we believe someone above sent), Marilyn made the day perfect for my little boy Eli. Both sides of the families found it to be original especially with the calling of the four elements.  Marilyn gave us all the information and guidance we needed to write our own ideas and feelings and we co-created a naming ceremony that was unique and special. The Naming Ceremony really reflected who we are as a family and celebrated Eli’s unique personality and our hopes, dreams, aspirations and love for him. Marilyn was relaxed and easy to talk to, and was open to all our ideas, normal or strange. She was keen on making sure that this was Eli’s day, and we would like to personally thank her. And if in the near future, when I have more children, I will definitely be choosing her as my naming day celebrant again.And once again thank you so very, very, very, very, very, very much! Sharon, William and our Little Eli.
