Charis was the celebrant at my mums funeral last week and she was amazing. I feel so lucky that she was recommended to us. She is professional, articulate, thoughtful, has a great easy style about her and is focused on providing a great service for her clients. Also in meeting with us, she quickly grasped the vibe and tailors to suit her audience. Charis is the right balance of empathy, charisma and reading the room well. She made mums send -off better than i could ever have anticipated. Highly recommend her. Oh, and she has a great sense of humour too. :)
Charis is a lovely person and delivered a beautiful ceremony at my Mum's funeral.
Highly recommended, and thank you!

Charis is amazing! She created a beautiful wedding ceremony for Alec and I that was so heartfelt and thoughtful.
She was super professional and took us through each step that we would need to take both on the day of the ceremony and after the wedding.
Charis was wonderful leading up to the wedding, making sure that we had everything ready and hosting a quick run through of the ceremony on day.
She was brilliant on the day of the wedding and we will be forever grateful for all the care and work she put into our very special day.

Charis was wonderful in helping me to organise my father's final good bye. She wrote a beautiful eulogy and thought of little details for the service that made it incredibly special. She was also excellent at reading family dynamics and making everyone feel included and valued. Thank you Charis!

We are so glad our friends recommended Charis to be our wedding celebrant! She made the ceremony really special and personalised with a beautiful story that we were able to co-create.

Charis was the celebrant for our wedding in Daylesford in March. I don’t think you’ll come across many other celebrants who put as much thought and care into their work as Charis does. My husband’s uncle took me aside after the ceremony to tell me that he’s been to a lot of weddings and he’s never seen a celebrant who understood the couple they were marrying like Charis did. She was a very calm presence during the ceremony and went out of her way to calm the nerves of our little 3 year old ring bearer beforehand. Her speech during the ceremony really captured our love story and who we are as a couple. Thank you so so much Charis!

I am so honored to of had Charis represent our family and our beautiful late mother at such an extremely sad time.
It was as though the heavens had picked her for us as she made our mums farewell service perfect and complete.....and the support she gave leading up to the funeral was above and beyond! I honestly couldn't of gotten through it without her.
On the day of mums funeral while speaking on our behalf, there was such a deep connection, it was almost like she had been a part of lives for years.

Exceptional in every way – we are so grateful to have had Charis not only for her service but for her tremendous support."
From the very first conversation, Charis was professional, caring, and approachable. She guided us through a difficult time with such grace and warmth that we immediately felt we were in safe hands.
At the service itself, she delivered a truly heart-warming eulogy that captured our loved one’s spirit perfectly. But it was the poem she chose and read that touched everyone in the room – there wasn’t a dry eye, yet it left us all feeling comforted and connected.
Charis did so much more than lead a funeral. She held space for our grief, answered every question with patience, and went above and beyond to make a heartbreaking day as beautiful and meaningful as it could be. If you are looking for a celebrant who blends genuine kindness with complete professionalism, look no further. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Charis came to us highly recommended by a close family friend, and she was wonderful. We found Charis to be kind, warm and thoughtful, which was perfect in her role as a celebrant for our mum’s funeral service. She was accomodating towards our feelings and words for the service, and checked in with us that we were okay in both the lead up to, and on the day of the service. Thank you Charis.

‘Thank goodness we ended up with you’ were my words to Charis.
My father and I were a bit lost when his wife passed away. We wanted to fulfil her wishes and place her ashes on our property with her favorite horse. Charis made this possible. She guided us along the way.
She was compassionate and cheerful at the same time. We felt safe and at easy with her from the first minute. The eulogy Charis wrote was perfect and her delivery was calming and bright with pauses to reflect on the person.
Charis really took the time to get to know us and understand what we were after.
The day after the service my father asked ‘Have you thanked Charis yet? Please pass on that I just loved her!’
Barry and Jackie.
