Mary Adler, Civil Celebrant, Mobile Service

Mary was a fantastic choice for our daughter's Naming Day. She was very flexible, had great communication skills and very relaxed, yet professional. We look forward to using Mary again if we are blessed with another child to celebrate! Giving us a 'Jasmine' plant was a lovely touch as our daughter's name is Jasmin and we loo forward to watching it grow along with her!

My husband and I live in London and choose to marry in Melbourne in April 2008.

We choose Mary off a list of listed celebrants on the Australian government website. Our only contact with Mary leading up to the wedding was via email and phone, as we were still in London planning our wedding from there.

This could've been a difficult process but Mary is so oragnised and professional that it was nothing but pleasant. She kept in touch very regularly, advising us on what paper work was required. She assisted us with every step, even offering help with the reception plans.

When we meet Mary at her home, she made us feel at ease, relaxed, and in control. She was so in-sync with our ideas and plans. She really ensured our day was just as we wished.

It was an amazing experience working with Mary and we are so greatful for her help and continuing contact. A wonderful celebrant made our wedding such a wonderful day.

Mary married us on the 31st of May 2008, the ceremony was absolutely perfect, exactly what we wanted and had discussed. Mary was very professional and very caring, she helped us with many suggestions to make our wedding exactly how we wanted. We had a beautiful lighting of a candle in memory of those not with us still, which meant so much to us.

As we already have 2 children Mary involved the kids in the wedding, even doing a reading from Dr. Seus from the kids which everyone loved and helped make the ceremony such a happy and family orientated event. Everyone was extremely impressed with Mary and we highly recommend her for a truly memorable event.

We have used three different civil celebrants for naming giving days for our three children. Mary Adler was the last and certainly the best. She allowed us to design our own ceremony and gave us good constructive advice on fine-tuning the ceremony. She came up with a suggestion of involving our two girls in Samuel's naming day which made the event more personal. mary has a warm disposition which puts you at ease and welcomes people into the moment.

Mary made us feel at ease from the very start. We were terrified at the beginning of all the things we had to organise. We were determined to have a genuine and personal service. Mary provided lots of guidance and suggestions but always left the final decisions to us. She assisted us in choosing our vows, the music, the setting and every other detail.

The ceremony we wanted was quite unconventional in many ways but Mary supported us in our choices. Mary keep us updated throughout and reminded us when crucial decisions needed to be made. The service Mary provided was professional and personal. We were so happy with the service I have recommended Mary to friends who are getting married. Mary was friendly, reliable and always available to answer our questions or provide suggestions.

Warm and thorough and super organised. Mary thought of all things we hadn't, she enabled us to ease through what started out as an intimidating, stressful process. My husband is from Spain, we met there and live there but we wanted to get married in my home town, Melbourne. Mary gave us continual professional and personal support and advice, she helped us make logistical, legal and emotional decisions and made everything so easy for us. The communication was always down to earth, honest, warm and sincere, constantly making herself available to us and consistently updating us and coaching us through deadlines in the short amount of time we had. We planned and therefore lived a day sculptured for us and with Mary, were able to transmit everything we wanted to, creating a very special, personal and loving memory forever.

Mary rescued us when our booked celebrant cancel 2 weeks prior to our Wedding. Though it was stressful, I am glad it happened because Mary's service was so personal and wonderful. She worked overtime for us. It was like we had many meetings, which we hadn't due to the time. The service was the high light of our day. We couldn't recommend her enough. She was & is Fantastic
