About Louise Saunders
Why Me?
Now is the time to choose your Celebrant and, yes, it is important to get it right!
Why Me? I am caring, fun, and have the gift of capturing the attention of family and friends through eye contact and laughter. Words, together with body language create an atmosphere that is powerful enveloping both you and your loved ones in an emotional bubble that will be remembered forever!
At the end of most ceremonies, a family member or friend will come up to me and make comments like “what a wonderful ceremony that was, Louise! you captured the couple’s personality and love story!”. These comments are super important because if the Ceremony goes well, the Scene is Set for a Fun and Fantastic Wedding Reception!
Who Am I?
I am friendly and manage that perfect balance between professional and approachable. My calm nature doesn’t get frazzled and my motto is “stay calm and carry on”! It might be a last-minute change due to Lock Down Laws or rain falling just as the Ceremony starts!
From an early age, I loved making up stories that kept evolving for weeks and thought this was something everybody did. I adore composing “Goosebump” moments, that grab everyone’s attention making sure the guests are emotionally engaged.
I’m married to a wonderful man and have three gorgeous, adopted children from South Korea. We are a multicultural family and I embrace diversity which is reflected in my ceremonies. I believe, love does not discriminate and each couple regardless of background has a unique story that needs to be told by someone that gets them.

Testimonials
"I recommend everything about Louise. You can already see in the posts by other people that she is professional and passionate about being a celebrant. She is also incredibly organised and on point. Without Louise handling my wedding day I do not think it would of gone anywhere near as well or as smoothly as it did."

Laura & Adam P.
Laura & Adam P.“We cannot recommend Louise enough. She is so informative, professional and accommodating. Without her, our wedding would not have gone so smoothly. Everyone in attendance commented on how well put together our wedding was. Louise was so able to give our ceremony a personal touch that totally reflected the coming together of two families. She is so professional and approachable. We were totally at ease knowing she had everything under control.”
Mathew & Maggie H.
Mathew & Maggie H.“What a year 2020 served up to us all. Late 2019 we got engaged with plans of a country themed wedding at a pub in October 2020. Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened and we had to cut back all our plans. Louise was great to work with from the very early days of planning. She took care of everything and helped keep us on track too. The whole process was seamless! Louise delivered the ideal family backyard wedding in September 2020. Her chosen words summed us up perfectly and still gave us a truly unique and memorable experience. We highly recommend Louise. Again, thank you.”
