Rebecca and I want to share our sincere thanks to Robert and Karen following our ceremony in the South of France. They have been so wonderful to work with leading up to the ceremony, supporting us in designing the script that we wanted for our big day, including all of the personal touches that mattered to us as a couple. Not only that, but on the day of the ceremony they came to visit us both before everything started to help calm our nerves and ensure we felt supported in the journey.
The ceremony itself was incredibly moving for our guests, and beautifully run by Robert. He was witty, natural, and supportive throughout. Our guests really enjoyed it and several mentioned specifically how beautiful and moving the ceremony was.
You can tell both Robert and Karen really cared, and we are so pleased that we picked them for our big day. We are so grateful to them for everything and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

We would like to say a big thank you to both Robert, and his wife, Karen, who worked with us to create the most beautiful symbolic ceremony. We had the a wonderful day; the ceremony was thoughtfully put together, and Robert delivered it in a calm, clear and confident manner, captivating our audience. So many of our friends and family commented afterwards on what a lovely ceremony it was, and especially enjoyed the special ceremony with the Sands of Time and Loving Cup. Thank you again to Robert and Karen for making our day so fantastic.

We just want to say a massive “thank you” to Robert and Karen for everything you did for us before, on and beyond our wedding day. You made planning a wedding in France from England so easy.
The communication with Robert before the wedding was so helpful and professional. From answering our emails of all our questions to sitting and planning out a ceremony and script. We were able to make changes to our script on the lead up to the day. We were given many choices to make our ceremony personal and special to us. We chose to have the “loving cup” and “sands of time” ceremony.
On the day, Robert and Karen came early to set up and chat to us. They were so calm and eased our nerves giving us both advice for the ceremony and our future. They are both beautiful, kindhearted and calm people – perfect qualities to have around you on a special day. They handled everything with the ceremony allowing us to focus on getting ready and prepared.
We and our guests loved the interaction before and throughout the ceremony keeping everyone engaged and included.
From the service we were given photos and keepsakes from our service which we have been able to fly home with us.
We would recommend Robert and Karen in a heartbeat for a wedding ceremony. Thank you so much again, from the bottom of our hearts.

Robert is a wonderful, professional and warm celebrant. Prior to the ceremony, he was very helpful in answering our questions, walking us through all the details and providing us with an excellent ceremony script which we were allowed to personalize and adapt according to our wishes. During the ceremony, he made us (and our guests) feel at ease and ensured everything ran smoothly. His calming presence was greatly appreciated. A big thank you for making the ceremony of our dreams a reality!
Best wishes,

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work to help make our day so special. So many guests commented on how beautiful and personal the ceremony was and that wouldn’t have been possible without the work you put in leading up to the big day. Thank you also for your professionalism and flexibility in dealing with the last minute delays on the day and also for Karen stepping in to help and take some amazing photos. We can’t thank you enough for making the day as special as it was.

We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Robert and Karen for their exceptional service. Robert was very professional and helpful. He was flexible with changes and happy to advise us on different areas.
Together, we created a perfect script for our ceremony. Robert went above and beyond to accommodate out request including our relatives taking part in ceremony as well as learning some sentences in Polish to address my family (despite already speaking English and French)! Absolutely fabulous – as it made our guests even more welcome.
It was a first ceremony in my family that was outside of church (on the beach), and Robert made it extra special and memorable.
Our guests were very pleased with the ceremony and our Wedding Celebrant and called it ‘a ceremony from fairy tale/movie’ with great sense of humour and professional approach.
We can highly recommend Wedding Words and Wishes and Robert as Wedding Celebrant. Thank you! ‘
Thank you once again, Robert! It was a pleasure to meet and work with you.

Robert and Karen were the perfect team for our wedding ceremony. Every detail was foreseen and the execution of the ceremony flawless. Not only were we moved to tears (despite having already seen the script) but our guests were effusive in their praise for the ceremony. Many, who have been to more than a few weddings in the last years, claimed it was the best ceremony they had ever attended. We can’t speak to that, but we can say that it was perfect for us. Thank you, Robert and Karen, for making an otherwise amazing day into a perfect day.

Robert is a fantastic celebrant and will really go out of your way to ensure that you have the day that you want in the way that you want. Robert took the time to travel to us prior to the wedding even though it was over an hours drive from his base in order to go through all plans in person. We also had regular contact on WhatsApp and Zoom in order to get everything right. Robert is really helpful with suggestions of things that can or can not be included in the script. This really helped us to come up with the perfect mix which was right for us.
Robert did an excellent job on the day, which had some challenges as the ceremony was outside and it was rather windy. Robert did not let this phase him and dealt with logistics of keeping paper still, microphones clear and trees blowing very well. It was so lovely that Robert brought his wife Karen with him too ,this was like two for the price of one and she really did help to ensure that everyone was calm and prepared. We absolutely loved the fact that Robert and Karen are such animal lovers like ourselves as Charlie our dog played such a pivotal part in the ceremony, Robert really recognised the importance of this and embraced this in full and it really made for a very special occasion. We would not hesitate to recommend Robert and Karen for your special day. We are so glad that we chose them and you will be too!

We had a very nice wedding with Robert as our Celebrant. The briefing was digital and we saw Robert and Karen for the first time on our wedding day but this was not noticeable.
Robert has a very warm and friendly way of speaking and he has a nice interaction with the guests. He follows the script but also makes it his own which makes it really personal for the wedding couple but also for the guests. We really wanted to have our ceremony not too serious, not too religious and we also like some jokes in the story and Robert perfectly followed this and his personality goes very nice with this. The combination with his words and our personal vows really made it a special, romantic and fun ceremony which was all we could wish for. Many thanks to Robert but also to Karen and Cherry for their support during the process. Jocelyn and Tim (Rustiques September 2023)

Thank YOU so much for being such wonderful a part of our day.
We had such a magical time, and Robert was the perfect celebrant. He read our record-breakingly long (!) biography so well, and conducted the whole ceremony with charm and ease.
Karen was also wonderful at ensuring everything ran smoothly , and thanks so much for the lovely photos! You’re a great team and we couldn’t be happier with the service.
Thanks again so much.
All the best,

Tiffany & I have just landed back in Dubai, extremely sad at the thought of not being able to do our wedding weekend all over again. It truly was the best few days we could have hoped for and you played a key role in it for us and for that we’ll be eternally (not internally) grateful.
Thank you so much for taking part with us yesterday – Thanks for coordinating everything so wonderfully and professionally, we had the best day ever.

Hi Cherry, Ian and Mandy,
Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day. The ceremony was beautiful and so so memorable, we loved every second of it.
Weddings Words and Wishes were brilliant throughout the planning of the wedding and on the big day. We wanted to create a personal ceremony with our own script, and the team were so supportive and provided lots of useful guidance to help make sure everything was perfect. Ian was warm, professional and conducted the ceremony beautifully, and we were so grateful for their help when we had to quickly move the ceremony venue half way through because of a brief (but strong) shower! Thank you again for being such an important part of our day.
With best wishes

We absolutely loved the ceremony as did every single one of our guests! They were all raving about Robert.
Thank you so much for making the day so perfect and seamless.
Cherry was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, very communicative, organised and helpful throughout.
As for Robert, he was a dream of a celebrant – professional but very personable, easy to chat to and made us feel at ease. He was very natural and all the guests said the ceremony was gorgeous.
And of course thank you to Karen as well for organising the confetti and giving us all the cues!
Just an absolute pleasure all around, we’re forever grateful!
Thanks so much
Best wishes

Ian’s ceremony was absolutely beautiful. So many people have commented on how amazing it was and so unique with several people commenting that they’ve never seen a ceremony like it. Even the tough customers who were adamant it should be religious, said it was a beautiful ceremony and could not fault it at all. We are both so pleased and we loved every second of it.
Thank you.

Ian was so patient and kind on our wedding day, he made sure we were at ease and really made our day magical.

Dear Robert, Karen and Cherry
Patrick and I wanted to pass on our huge and sincere thanks for our beautiful ceremony and fabulous day.
We have loved working with you, Karen and the entire team. From the planning, right though the entire day you made the process very simple and really put us at ease. Patrick appreciated the “chat” and natural way you “warmed up the crowd” and I know it helped him relax. We both loved the ceremony, it was truly perfect. It was romantic, personal and relaxed while still being the important and significant event we wanted. Our family and friends too passed on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and your beautiful words,
Thank you again

It was an absolute pleasure working with Cherry, Robert and Karen.
Our family and friends loved the ceremony and energy that Robert brought to the day.
Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule our wedding three times which Cherry kindly accommodated.
We would highly recommend the planning services of Wedding words and wishes.
Cheers
