• Our celebrant was efficient, organised and good at explaining all the processes properly so ‘everyone’ can understand.
• She is good at listening to her couples needs and wants and helpful with her offering of suggestions.
• Louise shows genuine warmth and affection to one and all at a ceremony and fits in perfectly with guests who often enquire “Did I know the couple personally before their ceremony?”
• Her ceremonies are unique, fun, memorable, personal and meaningful.
• That she has a calming presence, is cheerful and that she brings a vibrant energy to their day, with it just being what THEY wanted and more.

Tess and Jamie’s Wedding Highlights Video, one of my more nontraditional Unique Ceremonies…

Video produced by: Andy Schomberg Media. Andy came up from Melbourne for their wedding. He was great to work with. Very unobtrusive and has managed to catch the true essence of this Unique Wedding Ceremony.

Andy’s Recommendation of Louise Pilpel – Mid Nth Coast Marriage Celebrant at work:” I worked with Louise at a Coffs Harbour Wedding. She was one of the most friendly and welcoming celebrants I have worked with, and made everyone feel right at home. She was professional, fun and very experienced in what she does. Highly recommended!”
