Exceptional Celebrant
July 3, 2025
Betty was an exceptional celebrant for our wedding. She seamlessly officiated both our civil and tea ceremonies, demonstrating remarkable professionalism and great flexibility with our needs on the day. Her calm demeanor ensured everything flowed perfectly. We’re truly grateful for her role in making our day unforgettable.
Perfect bilingual celebrant!
June 10, 2025
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.
A Truly Heartfelt and Personalised Ceremony
June 4, 2025
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.
A Beautiful Start from a Wonderful Ceremony
May 9, 2025
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!

Highly professional and stress-free ceremony!
February 16, 2025
We had a small, intimate ceremony, and Betty made it absolutely perfect! From the first meeting, they understood exactly what we were looking for – something simple, yet meaningful. The ceremony was beautiful and personal, and we felt so comfortable throughout the whole process. She made sure everything was smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful celebrant for a small ceremony!
Betty was an amazing celebrant. She helped us with prepping all the paper work as well guided us through our ceremony. She showed us and helped arrange how we should walk down the aisle which really took a off lot of the stress as we had a very simple backyard wedding. She spent the time to get to know us and crafted a deeply personal speech for our ceremony in both English and Cantonese, and I cannot thank her enough for doing this as my older relatives who only spoke Cantonese were very moved by it.
Our small backyard wedding was a success and having Betty as my celebrant played a big part in that amazing day. Thanks again!

It has been a challenging year for everything especially when it comes to planning. All our plans were greatly affected by the unforeseen events. Betty remained calm and professional yet flexible and supportive throughout the whole time. Eventually our registration was conducted in simple and intimately, just as what we wanted. We would like to say a big thank you to Betty for all her help and support.

Alan and I would like express our greatest gratitude to Betty for conducting and guiding us through a uniquely personalised bi-lingual wedding. She not only provides exceptional service and she really do care about you!
It was a year before our wedding when we booked her in and we’d never thought COVID-19 was going to be in the way. In the months leading up the wedding, it was definitely a roller coaster for all of us. Having the city locked down and restrictions with all social events was daunting, we were all so miserable during the time waiting for new government announcements every single week.
In the end we were finally able to have the wedding happening on the original scheduled date in July , which was just a week after the easing of restrictions! Betty patiently waited with us and gave us a great amount of guidance and advices of what our options were during the pandemic. Without her help and understanding, I would dare to say we’d be extremely lost and might not be able to get married on our desired date.
Once again, thank you so much Betty, you’re absolutely amazing! You’ve made our wedding an extremely special memory!

Betty was the marriage celebrant for my wedding at Taronga Zoo. My wife’s family is Cantonese and I’m really glad we were able to book Betty. Betty personalised our story at the ceremony and was able to translate this to Cantonese. She was very organised and was able to control the crowd on that day. I’m very grateful for Betty and would recommend her to anyone who needs a marriage celebrant.

Amazing and extremely happy with our celebrant Betty Lo, she took the time to get to know me and my partner. She was very easy to work with and calm in nature and this really helped as planning a wedding is quite stressful!, thank you Betty for being there on our special day and for guiding us through the ceremony making it a smooth and enjoyable day to remember.
Would highly recommend Betty!

My husband and I decided to sign during the height of the Covid pandemic, when Australia's borders was still closed off, and having Betty as our celebrant made the whole process a smooth, easy one. She was so understanding when we were working out the details of the ceremony with her and so efficient with the paperwork. On the actual day, we had to quickly change the seating arrangements so the lighting will be better for our family members who had attend through Zoom and she was quick to adapt and help out. We felt like we were in safe hands with her as our celebrant. Thank you so much for being with us on our special day!

Hi Betty, thank you soooo much for the professional celebrant service yesterday. As you know there was a delay because parents were late but you have dealt with the situation patiently and professionally. I was very nervous once I got off the boat, lol, thank you so much for explaining what I should do (although I still got it wrong lol). Thank you for going to mum and got the handwritten vows for me too, I was panicking about it on the boat! Oh and thank you for reminding us from time to time about the vow and gave us sample vow for back up! We'll definitely keep recommending all our brides and grooms to go for your professional service!
Love,

Betty was absolutely amazing!
We couldn't be happier with Betty as a celebrant.
We planned an oversea wedding in Australia long-distance from Hong Kong and We would not have been able to do it without Betty's passionate and professional support. She created a ceremony so personal and unique to us. It was everything we dreamed of and so much more. Her story writing and telling skills are incredible and really touched our heart.
We highly recommend Betty for your wedding if you are planning an wedding / oversea wedding in inner Sydney or the surrounding area. You'll thank us later!
P.S. Dear Betty, thank you for gave us the most beautiful wedding ceremony full of laughter and love, from the tears to the cheers. By the time the wedding rolled around, you are not only my celebrant but also a close friend. We want to keep you in our life way beyond our big day.🥰
With Love,

I highly recommend Betty for anyone who need an amiable, skilled, and detail-oriented marriage celebrant in NSW Australia.
I came across Betty online after a brief Google search -- after I fixed the date I honestly didn't know where to start with. Betty is one of the best choices I made about planning the wedding in a short period of time for sure, even though it sounded so random.
She gave us a lot of useful advice for the planning of the ceremony in the first obligation-free consultation, and told us the ways she handled different formats and scales of ceremony. She's shown great experience and confidence in being a trustworthy marriage celebrant, and it was obvious from the first impression.
After deciding to request her as our marriage celebrant, we held another detailed session of consultation for her to understand our history, families, personalities, and so on. As she's fluent in both English and Cantonese, it was extremely helpful, as English wasn't my first language, and the ceremony would be bilingual given the guests' ethnic background.
Since then, Betty helped take great care of the details about documentation and run-down of the ceremony, and oh man, these could easily get super confusing. I was glad that she was able to:
(1). communicate very effectively what information she required
(2). respond to questions we raised in a timely manner, and
(3). double-check all the names, dates, etc. with attention to details to make sure there were no mistakes
She made the whole planning process hassle-free indeed.
Shortly prior to the big day, we had a rehearsal at the venue with Betty. At first, I thought it wasn't necessary, but in hindsight it turned out to be really really useful -- on the actual big day, with so many things going on, I wouldn't have been able to know where to stand or walk towards and what to do next, as my mind went blank a few times. It was super important.
Overall, she has been reliable, sweet, and organised to let me feel reassuring. She also added her own personal touch to make the ceremony flow naturally and smoothly.
FIVE STARS with no doubt.

Being one of the first group of same sex marriage in Australia, I can say I made the RIGHT decision. Much appreciated to have the experienced celebrant, Ms Betty Lo to walk through the process with us, so we do not panic and hassle at all. We are brave to tell everyone that we are lawfully wedded couple. Our marriage will be fill with love and joy for the rest of our life. Thanks Betty again and again.

Big thank you Betty for your fantastic service! We are so glad we picked you as our celebrant. We greatly appreciate how you went above and beyond your celebrant duties in giving us tips and advice with the planning and preparation of our wedding. Thanks for being so accomodating, quick to reply whenever we contacted you and valued advice during rehearsal. You were brilliant and made rehearsal so enjoyable and stress free. Also, we loved how you personalised our love story during the civil ceremony, which made our wedding all the more personal and memorable. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us.

Betty as a bilingual celebrant really hosted the ceremony well using both English and Cantonese. Our guests from China felt special and included at the ceremony.
Throughout the wedding planning, Betty was extremely helpful, giving us suggestions to write our vows and ceremony ideas.
Overall, we highly recommended Betty as the wedding celebrant.

Betty conducted an absolutely unforgettable bilingual (Cantonese and English) ceremony for Le and I. We'd written our own vows and Betty had done an amazing job of crafting a ceremony that reflected our fun-loving personalities. She had our family and friends laughing and smiling from ear to ear. Betty was very accommodating and informative at each of our meetings and rehearsal in the lead-up to the wedding. Betty was always available to us through email, phone calls or SMS to answer any of our many silly questions and was accommodating to last-minute changes. We even received our marriage certificate the week just after our wedding. She was so efficient. We are extremely glad that we were able to find someone so professional and friendly to marry us and we'd highly recommend Betty to anyone who is planning their wedding. With Betty on your team, it's one less thing you need to worry about. Thank you again, Betty. Xx

Peter and I would like to say thank you so much for being our celebrant. You made the legal process very easy and you were exceptionally organised before the day and made the ceremony flow seamlessly. We were also impressed with your Cantonese translation ability which enabled our family and friends with Cantonese background to understand and enjoy the day and make them feel they had a part in our special day. Again thank you so much and we are happy to recommend you to any of our friends who will get married to be their celebrant in the near future.
Thank you!!!

Your service was really great and comprehensive, leaving us literally nothing to worry on the day. We liked how the ceremony pieces were prepped gradually in months and weeks leading to the day and how simple the paperwork was. Smoothness with simplicity was what we were after and you delivered it! Every guest presented also felt positively and enjoyed every of the moment. We highly appreciate the time and effort you and your husband had dedicated to the day. Thank you! We wish you all the best and a lovely journey in helping to tie the knots of many more couples.

We are so happy to have Ms Betty Lo to be our wedding celebrant on our special day. She pays attention to details, reminded us things that we might neglect, and answered us every questions we had. She responded to our enquiry in a timely manner. She also gave us creative ideas for our ceremony. We also like her style of conducting our ceremony, which not only gave us freedom to design a personal ceremony, but also more importantly, performed in both English and Cantonese. Thank you so much for all that you did for us on our wedding day.

Betty was extremely professional and pleasant to work with. Betty took the time to sit down with us and went through all the details of the ceremony but beyond that she also gave the time to learnt about our relationship. From there, Betty was able to tell our guests on our wedding day how my husband and I became a couple.
Betty gave us the option to conduct the ceremony in half English and half Cantonese which was convenient and helpful for our guests.
I would highly recommend Betty (... And have done so already!) to any couples who are about to tie the knot. Betty is a caring and understanding celebrant who listens to your needs and ensure that your needs come together seemingly at the ceremony.

Thank you for everything you have done for us Betty!
Your positive, responsive & helpful manners have created such a special, unique memorable day in our life. Without your experience and valuable suggestions, everything wouldn’t have been run so perfectly.
We had a very unrehearsed wedding, and lucky to have you as our celebrant. That’s a big offload from our never ending wedding to do list.
We would definitely not hesitate to recommend your professional service to anyone who is also after a dream wedding day like us.

Betty was very professional and very helpful. She took trouble to travel and meet me twice before the wedding day. She visited my wedding site and offered experienced advices with enthusiasm. She is also patient and has a happy manner. She makes both of my husband and me very calm and at ease on my wedding day. Thank you for your great service!!! Although I don’t think I will be needing her again in my life but I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family if opportunity arises.
