Testimonials

Below is just a selection of the feedback I have had on my ceremonies, both funerals and weddings.  Thank you for your feedback and for letting me use your words. It is much appreciated.

“I can’t thank Dawn enough for the amazing ceremony at our wedding in Faenol Fawr recently. All of our guests commented on how special and unique the ceremony was, unlike anything they had seen before. During our meetings with Dawn she was so warm and friendly and took so much time to perfect our ceremony. The detail she went to in finding out our story was incredible, turning it into something so touching with just the right amount of humour. We feel so incredibly grateful that Dawn was part of our wedding day and we will cherish the memory for many years to come.”

“Exceptional. I have attended several funerals and been amazed at the way Dawn has related the life story of the deceased with the ability to make you cry and smile at the same time. Dawn has a wonderful ability to set into words all the right things that need to be said; a true and reflective account of their life. She makes what is such a sad affair almost joyful for the life they had, so you leave feeling reflective and peaceful, unlike leaving a church service that leaves you thinking they could have been talking about anyone.”

“Thank you so much Dawn for being our Humanist Celebrant last week at Hafod Farm. Your expertise, professionalism and encouragement knows no bounds and thank you for being so positive and willing to be lived streamed to Australia for my family to watch and for our little elderly rescue terrier to be in the ceremony. I could not recommend Dawn and her services enough for your important and meaningful occasions. Thank you for being part of our journey and making it so special for us.”

Eleni and Carl – wedding at Hafod Farm, Llanwrst

“Dawn took time to speak with myself about the life of my late mother and the eulogy she read at the service was a true reflection of her life. People who attended related on how nice a funeral could be so pleasing in sad circumstances. The impression I had was some found such comfort from the service that they will be considering a humanist ceremony themself”

Ian Robinson, Prestatyn

“Dawn delivered a beautiful surprise blessing ceremony for our friends. We laughed, we cried and we cheered!! Dawn’s attention to detail along with a relaxed and friendly approach are the perfect ingredients for a day to remember full of love and memories that will last forever.”

Rachel Platt

“Dawn was amazing from the beginning. She arranged to WhatsApp video call to speak to my Mum and I due to not being able to visit the house at this time. (Covid pandemic).  She arranged the order of service with the funeral director and liaised with them over the date, taking all the stress away from us. The service itself was outstanding, a mixture of humour and special memories.  “I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.

Angela Hughes, Carmel

“Well where do I start . From the moment I phoned Dawn she was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble in organising my brothers funeral. Visiting us at my parents who were truly grateful for her caring thoughtful words.  We can’t recommend her highly enough for delivering such a beautiful tribute to Neil.  You did him proud for sure.  Everyone commented on how beautiful it was. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.”

Helen Starkey, Rhyl

 

“A huge thank you for eerything!  From ‘the interview’ to the rehearsal and ceremony you were so lovely to work with, and we had so many guests commenting on how much they loved the ceremony.”

Henry and Izzy – wedding at Eriviat Hall, Denbigh

“I have motor neurone disease and surprised my wife with a vow renewal, so Dawn faced a problem of not speaking to my wife and relying on myself for the information. Dawn’s ceremony was an amazing piece of work – personal, humorous, and some words of reflection and wisdom.  That day 60 guests were blown away by Dawn and her personal approach and the way the ceremony was delivered with heart, respect and passion.  There were tears, but plenty of laughter too. So from myself, my wife and fellow guests, Dawn made a great day into a special day for so many people.”

Steven Parry, Prestatyn

“Exactly what I hoped for, and surpassed my expectations.  Wonderfully personal and fitting celebration of my Mum’s life in a beautiful woodland setting.  You did her proud Dawn.”
Jay Williams, Mold

“It far exceeded our expectations.  Dawn took a lot of time both with us as a family and after in her preparation of a very thoughtful and accurate address.  My Aunt would have been delighted with the words and sentiments expressed.  Everyone remarked after the service on just how personal and caring the service was, with a perfect mix of warmth and reverence.  I am so glad we chose Dawn for this hugely important task.”

Christine Smith, Prestatyn.
