Testimonials

"Sophie was one of my favourite things about our wedding. She sang Love Never Dies and A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square so beautifully she had the congregation of 200 in tears. She was really friendly, relaxed and professional even when we changed our minds about songs during rehearsals. She is a lovely person with a wonderful voice and I would definitely recommend her."

Hello Sophie,

I hope you don’t mind me texting you, But I really must let you know how very happy we all were with how you conducted the service for my late dad X on Friday.

Thank you so much, and by the way you should be in X Factor, everyone commented on how lovely you sang the Hymn!..

Take care and Thanks Again.

Dear Sophie,
I am afraid I was rather stunned at my father’s ceremony other day and probably failed adequately to thank you for your superb oration. I had two texts telling me it was marvellous before I even got home and everyone has subsequently agreed.

Angela, my wife, said that since we are in the unfortunate position of being able to compare, yours was undoubtedly better. She was impressed, and in her job she has heard a lot of after-dinner speeches, even Boris Johnson. I thought it was clear, smooth and sincere and exactly right,
thank you again,
warmest wishes,

Hi Sophie

I just wanted to thank you for dad's service yesterday at Octon.

I think the whole day went well and I have had several positive messages, some

from people who saw it online. They all thought your service was lovely and most

discovered aspects of dad's life they had not previously been aware of.

From my point of view I felt confident in you and am most happy at how you used

our information and weaved it into a coherent and fitting tribute.

Thank you again for your help and advice at a difficult time.

Sophie,

On behalf of my sister and I, I just wanted to thank you for the way you conducted my father’s funeral service this morning. You had the pitch just right and we really appreciated the background research you completed which made the service so personal and very special.

Most of the guests commented on the balance of humour and love that was present which was our aim.

Many thanks again.

Hi Sophie

Just a quick line to thank you so very much for the fabulous service you provided today. This has been the first time we have had to get involved with these sad matters but between yourself and Robert you really have made the process so straightforward and easier to get through.

I believe this is one of the first times we have used the services of a Celebrant but we can truthfully say we are all converted and will have no hesitations at all to request your services again in the future as required. Many thanks again Sophie, you are a real star.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the service you did for mum today. I really have appreciated all of the input you gave me.

My brother and sister both remarked that in spite of mum giving us no guidance whatsoever about what sort of send off she wanted (apart from the fact that we were to use the cheapest coffin available) her service really did reflect her personality and many of her foibles.

We obviously spent a lot of time thinking about what we should include. But talking to you last Monday and all of the emails we've exchanged over the last week about music, readings, prayers and hymns gave me the confidence to believe that I was doing the right thing. Your words were very well chosen and poignant and have helped our small family to remember and celebrate mum's life with laughter, love and a few tears. Thank you again

Dear Sophie

Oh, how can I thank you? The service sounds so beautiful! You seem to have known X so well and covered everything…you've done perfectly - just wanted you to know you've either got to know him or he's been helping you!

Thank you so much again. All the words have brought so much comfort to me and I know they will help me and everyone else next Thursday.

X would be so proud of you!

Hi Sophie

I just wanted to say a huge thank you. You were so professional yet sympathetic to my needs during the few weeks leading up to the funeral, you helped me a lot during this sad time.

Your professionalism on the day of the funeral was truly impeccable.

I’ve also emailed the funeral directors about their total professionalism on the day too, it was perfect.

Thank you so much.

Dear Sophie,

I just wanted to say big thank you for Andy's service on Friday. You were great and managed pronunciation of the Czech words with elegancy. Czech language is not an easy one.

I hope you are going to be well and good luck in the future.

Take care

"Thank you for your wonderful singing at George and Millie's wedding. As we signed the register your voice soared taking Lloyd Webber to the rooftops - so beautifully done..."

"Elaine & I just wanted to take this opportunity to personally "Thank You" for how beautifully you delivered Mum's service yesterday and for the care and attention you gave to both Mum's words and our family's words.

You were so very diligent in ensuring that all of Mum's wishes and ours were honoured in just the right way and for that we will be forever grateful.

Both Elaine & I are in agreement that if you and Mum had ever met you would have got on so well together.

Through a very difficult time you really did help us as a family to feel a sense of solace.

Just to add that it wasn’t just about the delivery of the service but from the very first time that we spoke to you we both felt so reassured that we had found the perfect person to follow us through this journey from start to finish."
