Thank you once again for being part of our special day

Having Julie as our celebrant felt like being married by a friend. She really took the time to find out what it was that we wanted on our day and had some fantastic suggestions too, especially when it came to involving our children in the ceremony.
I really don’t believe that our wedding would have been as perfect as it was if we’d chosen any other celebrant.celebrant-

Julie married us on 30 March 2013 at the Show Gate which is located at Riccarton Park, Christchurch.
Julie was very professional and had some wonderful suggestions to include in our ceremony. She is kind, caring and very organised. Julie is a lovely person who always has a smile on her face and is very easy to work with.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to others planning their wedding.
Julie - thank you for your contribution to our wedding day running so smoothly. You are so easy to work with and our day became all that we had dreamed of. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I cannot say enough to Recommend Julie. She is a an absolute professional. She will assist you where you need it and run with your ideas no matter how ‘unique’. My bridal party rode in on Hobby Horses and our vows were just a bit unusual, but nothing was a problem. On the day Julie was a calming influence for both myself and my husband. Confirm Julie and she will support and take away the stress of planning your ceremony, leaving your energy to concentrate on other aspects of your big day.

Julie is a wonderful, friendly, approachable person/celebrant that I have had the pleasure of working beside in a number of weddings throughout the years.
Julie works together with the bride and groom, making them feel at ease throughout the wedding and supports them through the emotional times of their special day.
Julie cares about her clients as I have witnessed first hand and goes the extra mile to make their day perfect.
I would recommend Julie to any future couple about to get married.

Many thanks to you – Julie Lassen – for your great contribution to our big day! We hugely appreciated your help, ideas and support. From the day we met you everything went perfectly. You are a very pleasant, tactful and trustworthy person, who we are happy to know. We wish you further a great professional success and happiness.
Translations in Kyrgyz (from Bride) and German (from Groom):
Биздин уйлонуу тоюбузду эн жогорку дэнгелде алып барган Жули Лассенге ыразычылыгыбызды билдиребиз. Сизди мандайы жарык, ак-пейилдуу, адамгерчиликтуу жана жоопкерчиликтуу адам катары таанып жана эстей журобуз.
Julie machte “unseren” Tag zum tatsächlich schönsten Tag. Ihre Unterstützung war fabelhaft, und die kleine Zeremonie, die wir mit Hilfe von ihr zusammenstellten, gab dem Tag den absolut würdigen Rahmen. Mit Julie scheint die Sonne immer.

Julie created a wonderfully ‘intimate’ atmosphere at this surprise wedding on Christmas Day - it was as if the bride and groom were being married by a family member! This was an amazing personal wedding with vows that pertained completely to the bride and groom. This happy occassion was made so special by having Julie as the marriage celebrant. Julie had ” married ” my son and his wife eight years previously and the same warm atmosphere prevailed. If you are looking for an amazing celebrant for an up coming wedding - then look no further than Julie Lassen.

Julie was the celebrant at a friend’s wedding that I attended last week. She conducted a happy, relaxed and meaningful service and had a natural rapport with the bride and groom. Julie has a clear and pleasant voice, which was able to be heard easily, despite the fact that I was standing at the back of the congregation in an outdoor setting. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julie as a celebrant.

We found Julie an absolute pleasure to deal with and we couldn’t have wished for a more professional and friendly marriage celebrant.
Julie handled everything and provided thorough information about what is needed in regards to vows, obtaining the marriage licence and most importantly making sure the guests are in the right spot for the ceremony! She looked beautiful on the day and radiated happiness.
Many thanks Julie, I know who will be our first recommendation for future engaged couples!celebrant-

From the moment I first contacted Julie, I knew she was the right choice. Meeting her only confirmed this, as she was welcoming, warm, professional and completely calming in her approach.
Through our entire wedding planning process, she never once pressured or rushed us to get our ceremony sorted. She remained a constant background support, without being pushy or controlling. It was nice to know she was just a phonecall or e-mail away, and she always replied promptly.
At rehearsal I was incredibly stressed because the weather was falling apart, and Julie single-handedly put me at complete ease. I felt safe knowing my ceremony was in her hands.
On the day, Julie was on time, looked gorgeous, and delivered the ceremony I had written flawlessly. There is not one detail I would have changed.
Overall, I would recommend Julie to absolutely everybody, regardless of the type of ceremony they are having, or their personal beliefs/wishes. Julie will adapt to what you need, and always with a smile.
There is a reason people’s faces light up when you say Julie Lassen was your celebrant - you don’t get such an amazing reputation without putting 100% into what you do, and Julie has truly earned the massive respect she now enjoys from the Christchurch community. I will always be thankful to have had her as my celebrant.
Thanks Julie!

Myself and my partner found Julie online, and proceeded to make an appointment. We were pleasantly surprised to find julie easy going, friendly and professional. She helped to make our celebration run smoothly, whilst at the same time listened to our own ideas, giving us our own customized wedding plan, which turned out to be a great success.

Julie we can’t thank you enough! Without you, our very unique & fun wedding which we won from More FM (Win a $10,000 wedding) - would firstly, not have been legal… And secondly, would not have been so special either! You worked with us and More FM to help us figure out how to write our own unique ceremony. Then you helped us at rehearsal to pull it all together, as you did on the day. Your lovely smiling face is reassuring when reciting our vows, and you have a lovely voice & manner that both we and our guests enjoyed! I will be recommending you to anyone the moment I know they’re looking to get married. Thank you so much for your time and for helping our wedding day to be just perfect! Jacinta & Josh Cooney xo

We got married at Pemberton in Christchurch, and once it was booked we began the hunt for a celebrant. We found Julie, and never looked back. She was prompt, organised and had a warmth about her that made us both feel comfortable and happy on our wedding day. Many guests commented on how wonderful and smiley Julie was and how she read our service beautifully. We arrived 20minutes late for the service and i was worried about the impact but she immediately calmed me and even offered me a bathroom stop - nothing was a problem!! She really is a wonderful celebrant and i would have no hesitation in recommending her service, in fact i insist that you should look no further

Julie married us at Rosemount on an absolutely stunning autumn day. She was recommended to us by both the venue and our videographer, and as soon as we met her we felt very at ease and comfortable.

Jono and I first met Julie at a close friends wedding in January, where we were so impressed with Julie, and loved her friendly smile and manner, we booked her there and then for our big day! (May 5th 2012)
Julie was an amazing celebrant. When I pulled up in the wedding car, and Julie waved at me, and had the hugest smile on her face, I knew the ceremony was going to be perfect.
Julie guided us from the initial meeting, and found out what was important to us. This allowed us to personalize the ceremony and include our two children. Julie spoke to them special words on our behalf, and introduced the gifts we exchanged to our children (age 9 and 11 months).
Our guests loved this part of the ceremony, in fact they loved everything about our ceremony and our celebrant, as did we!!celebrant-

We found Julie to be knowledgable, friendly and very approachable. She helped us write our own ceremony which made it very special to us. But the best thing as unlike other celebrants she allowed for us to be the centre of attention, she helped to guide us but in the end faded into the back ground.

out of town could have been a nightmare but your responsiveness to email and helpful suggestions made it a breeze! We would have no hesitation recommending you to other couples.Many thanks again
Catherine and Doug

Wow, where do I start when writing about Julie. She excels in every aspect and we are over the moon that we chose her as our celebrant for our recent wedding. Her positive, friendly and professional attitude was the perfect compliment to our day. She went above and beyond the call of duty to help prior to our day, offering advice and help, contributing to a perfect day. We loved her fun, calm, friendly personality and her wonderful smile and sense of humour. She made us feel completely at ease on the biggest day of our lives. I would highly recommend Julie if you want the best celebrant around. Thanks so much for all your help, the Van Zyls

Julie is a fantastic celebrant. She certainly made the entire processes enjoyable. Easy to contact and keep in touch with, smiley and has just the right amount of input. We didn’t at all feel awkward or over powered at any stage. Julie made us both feel comfortable and brought a bit of laughter to our ceremony.
Would highly recommend and will be in touch for naming ceremonies when the time comes

We had a wonderful wedding at the Timeball Station in Lyttelton - a venue that Julie helped us decide upon. Julie helped us in the lead up and of course on the wedding day itself. Julie was very professional and very cheerful and helpful. Four years have passed and we have since had our first baby. We look back on our wedding day with great joy and we thank Julie for her part in helping to create it. We recommend Julie 100 per cent. She is a lovely lady.

I could say a lot of things - but its best summed up as this:
Julie is an amazing person and the perfect wedding celebrant.
She is kind and funny and lovely and a total professional. She was a part of our wedding, from our initial meeting with her, through to writing our vows, our wedding rehearsal and our actual wedding ceremony. Julie is fantastic. Her knowledge, support, enthusiasm and general all round awesomeness was brilliant.
Cannot thank her enough for her part in making our wedding day magic.

I was a little too busy trying not to cry at my husband in the making saying his vows to notice; but the guests let me know how terrific they thought Julie was. Thank you Julie, it was fantastic to know we were in good hands. xxx

Well what can i say about Julie. she made our wedding probably one of the most special day in our lives… She has the ability to calm you. As everyone knows that wedding are not always plain sailing. and Stress plays are huge part in the day.. Julie has the ability to put you at ease. And will go out of her way to try and solve any problem that may arise.. My husband pick our Julie as he said her smile was awesum. And when we met her we knew we had made the right decision and new we could have not spent our special day with anyone else. Her professionalism, and eye for detail Is 10 out of 10. Her Knowledge on everything wedding is amazing. All i can say is you need to meet with this amazing lady and let her be part of your day. As i promise you you wont regret it. We didn’t.

Julie answered emails quickly and was always lovely, more than willing to answer our many questions and gently guide the process, whilst supporting our individual needs. Julie has a beautiful, warm persona which helped settle our nerves on the day! I have no hesitation in recommending Julie to future couples as a valuable asset to any wedding!

Having Julie as our Celebrant was such a wonderful decision! She has a warmth about her that made us feel that she was genuinely delighted to be part of our special day!
Julie encouraged us to make our ceremony our own and her suggestions and sense of humour made our ceremony much more personal…. and fun!
We have since attended a wedding where Julie was the Celebrant and it was great to see things from the other side of the fence as well, not to mention being impressed that she remembered our names after six years!
Thank you Julie, we certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a Celebrant.

Hi Julie,
Gareth and I just wanted to send you an email to thank you so much for the wonderful wedding ceremony you gave us on Saturday. They day was just perfect for us and we keep reliving it over and over with such happy memories.
From the weather clearing and us being able to hold it in the gardens where we so wanted to be, having you at the end with your friendly smiling and welcoming face made me feel so much more relaxed. The nerves were there, but somehow you just made us feel that much more at ease, and we are ever so grateful that we chose you and your friendly, mothering nature.
It was a wonderful day that started with that fantastic ceremony and got even better from there. We had a great time having our photos taken then joining with the rest of our family for more photos and the reception. It was by far the most happiest day of our lives.
We look forward to sending you a photo or two when we have them back in November. For now we are busy packing ready for our honeymoon to the Bay of Islands, where we set off bright and early in the morning.
Thanks again Julie, you were a huge highlight of our special day.
Warmest regards

Julie was amazing. She was professional but warm and friendly throughout the planning up until the wedding. Her openness and willingness to accomodate was very reassuring. I contacted her while I was in Australia and we kept in touch all the way up until the day I was married by her. Being an overseas couple, I was unsure on the procedure required to get married in New Zealand, but Julie helped and kept on giving prompt answers and replies to every question that I asked. The wedding couldn’t have gone smoother, and it was a major part due to Julie’s help. Thanks Julie ! =)

As neither my husband nor or I plan on needing another marriage celebrant I can only recommend her to anyone wanting a lovely and supportive celebrant to make their day special- Thanks Julie!

We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful, happy, friendly, bubbly person with great ideas to help us through. We are so glad we didnt have a registry wedding and instead had a personal and special day.

Julie was a wonderful celebrant. She succeeded in making the groom calm and keeping him calm during the whole process. As a ‘1 and only time’ groom he wasn’t sure exactly what he was supposed to do and she talked him through the whole thing. Her smiling, friendly personality made her a pleasure to have with us while we were celebrating our big day. Julie was very professional and accommodating and I will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

We came over from the UK to get married in NZ and selected Julie as she had married some friends who emigrated a few years earlier.
Julie was superbly supportive and advised us on everything we needed to do to ensure the day went smoothly and everything was sorted even before we arrived in NZ. As we had very little idea of what we actually wanted from our ceremony she also helped us through all of this.
On the day Julie helped make it an amazing day to remember for the rest of our lives. It was a very small intimate ceremony and she ensured that as well as everything running smoothly the mood and pace of the day was perfect for what we wanted.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Julie to anyone wanting to get married.

Julie has been fantastic, she has provided me with clear instructions to guide me towards our wedding day, sent me links for paperwork and other professionals and has been really friendly and flexible with my constant random queries. She is making a rather stressful and confusing time relatively painless (well as much as possible for someone who is a little phobic and organising a wedding from England)! I would recommend Julie whole heartedly, she’s very warm, considerate and assists me to think about the important elements that just wouldn’t have occurred to me. I’m sure our wedding day will be more special because Julie does everything she can to personalise your special day with genuine warmth and affection.

If you are looking for a celebrant I would highly recommend Julie. From the first time my husband and I meet her we felt comfortable and we knew she would do a great job.
She gave us info to help prepare our ceremony, keep in contact and made sure we hadn’t forgotten our marriage licence.
We got married outside, we were set to go at 2:30pm and right on queue a massive thunder and lightning storms started. We wanted to carry on and she was great, the weather didn’t seem to bother her, even though it was raining so hard everyone got saturated. As we were announced husband and wife there was a big clap of thunder and all our quest were thrilled with an out of the ordinary wedding. Thank you so much Julie for helping to make our special day fantastic.

There was no decision making when it came to chosing our marriage celebrant. Julie Lassen was it.
Julie makes you feel special, and ensure that your day is perfect, with her bubbly personality and her skills and knowledge in this role. Julie even makes sure that what she is wearing would fit in - which I thought was fantastic. Julie helps makes anyone’s day perfect, her mannerism is outstanding.
Not only did Julie perform our special day, but I have also witnessed her at other weddings.
You wont regret your decision. We do recommend Julie Lassen, Marriage Celebrant.

We had a small wedding in the middle of nowhere which was arranged with very short notice. I had no idea what I was doing and googled marriage celebrants. Julie’s name came up and I contacted her with a bunch of questions.
I was more than happy with Julie’s promptness in replying to emails, her friendliness and her humour. She made it so easy to write our vows and let us know what we had to do to make everything legal. On the day Julie was fantastic and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone wanting to get married.

Julie’s kind, caring nature made writing our vows easy and the ceremony was just perfect. Julie is a warm, friendly, kind and very organised person. I would (& have) recommend her to anyone.
Thanks Julie!
PS Our 10 years is approaching soon, so will be renewing our vows - will get the date confirmed and will ‘book’ you again!
