 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Betty as our celebrant for a same sex wedding in Sydney.  As we had many guests from overseas and for whom English was not their first language, we needed someone that could speak both English and Cantonese and Betty certainly delivered. Betty was reliable, efficient and on time to every single appointment we had, and put a lot of effort into getting to know us so she could deliver a personalised ceremony for us and our guests. Her organisation and attention to detail was really impressive. Any switches between languages felt seamless and natural and the personalisations added a really warm touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Betty to any couple looking for a celebrant.

We had the pleasure of having Betty as our wedding celebrant for both our tea ceremony and civil ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She conducted everything beautifully in bilingual, and took the time to tailor her welcoming speech and the entire ceremony around our personal story and journey as a couple. From the initial planning to the post-wedding follow-up, she guided us through the entire legal and ceremonial process with clarity and warmth. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and personal touch made the day even more meaningful for us and our families. We are so grateful and would happily recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant who truly cares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner (now wife!) found Betty after a few nights of desperate emails and searching for a celebrant. We have a diverse and multilingual set of families, and for Betty to provide bilingual services in Cantonese, it was an absolute plus. Despite the very short turnaround, which was totally on us as an oversight, Betty was polite, patient and absolutely professional every step of the way. From our first online meeting, through to our in-person, in-depth conversation, Betty was able to gather the essence of our relationship and make our wedding day a spectacular success. I recommend her services to anyone, not just those in the Cantonese-speaking community. Her clear and calm demeanour through the ceremony was fantastic and she was praised by our guests. Thank you Betty! Monica and Francis

Picking a celebrant was the first thing we did and one of the hardest parts of our wedding planning. After reaching out a few celebrants, we knew Better would be the best choice. From the beginning, she was incredibly attentive and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was so professional with her guidance and reminders throughout the whole process, providing a lot of helpful information. Betty has been so prompt, professional, warm, friendly and ready to help at every turn. She delivered a beautiful and heartful ceremony that truly reflected our love story. We are incredibly grateful to Betty for making our wedding so special and memorable. We highly recommend Betty to anyone. Thank you, Betty, for being such an important part of our wedding day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Betty for a wedding in both English and Cantonese, and it made all the difference for our guest experience. Older relatives who were not as fluent in English felt honoured, and in turn they were more engaged and emotionally invested in the beautiful wedding ceremony. Betty was able to turn our couple's story into a compelling narrative, which goes to show the amount of love and care she invested in her brides and grooms. Would highly recommend Betty to couples dreaming of a romantic, bespoke wedding ceremony. -First Sunday, Wedding Planner
