"You could say we were unsure about a celebrant seeing that we are of Catholic belief. We have found them in the past to be cold and impersonal, reading from past scriptures not relating to the person involved. We decided on Mario, because we knew of him. We wanted the service to be personal and from the heart. He delivered that tremendously and used our family notes very well in his delivery.
He delivered the service with efficiently and accurately. You made it so easy for us, negotiating amongst family members in order to get the job done, with door to door service and your genuine interest in the whole ceremony.
We would recommend him to all types of people regardless of the occasion because his professionalism shines through.
Congratulations on a job well done, it certainly shows in the final product!!!"

"As every soon to be married couple knows, the lead up to your wedding can be a stressful and nerve racking time where you start to worry about all the details you have been planning in the lead up to your wedding and whether they will all go smoothly. Thankfully for us Mario’s professionalism and high level of organisation meant that we never had a concern when it came to our ceremony. Mario guided us through the entire process ensuring that every detail was taken care of in the lead up to the ceremony, the rehearsal and on the day. Mario worked closely with us in the planning and details, helping us to tailor the ceremony to our individual style and personality as a couple. On the day he was the first person to arrive at the venue which allowed him to set up, meet the venue staff and ensure that they were on schedule also. The ceremony itself was carried out with an air of distinction and warmth, fitting both our choice in venue and our personalities. Through his careful planning and warm and friendly nature Mario allowed us to relax and took care of us at one of the most important times in our lives. I can’t imagine anyone who would have performed such a significant role to a higher standard."

"I was just e-mailing you to let you know how great & perfect our day was. We so enjoyed ourselves & the perfect day started with the nicest, friendliest & happiest wedding celebrant. Everyone -the parents/grandparents especially- were so impressed with you & commented on how nice your voice was & all agreed that you do look like 'the favourite Uncle' -my words to describe you to the family before they got to meet you"

Mario Anders was the celebrant at our Wedding. We were so impressed with his professionalism and assistance throughout the planning stage and during the ceremony and we therefore volunteered to provide this testimonial as a thank you to Mario. Neither of us has ever provided a testimonial before. Throughout the Wedding ceremony planning phase, Mario was very informative and responsive to our ideas. He was also very proactive by suggesting segments of the ceremony that we may or may not have wanted to incorporate into our ceremony. Whenever we had a query, he was very quick to respond. During our ceremony, he was very welcoming and friendly and he conducted himself with the highest level of professionalism. We had a candle lighting segment at our ceremony but due to the outside wind, the candles wouldn’t light and Mario offered to wait around for 45 minutes until the reception was about to start so that we could incorporate that segment inside. We are really glad that we chose Mario as our Wedding celebrant and we would have no hesitation in referring our family or friends to Mario.
