 Some of the nice comments people have made recently ….

           

“From start to finish Peter was fantastic to deal with…. The tone of the service was just what we wanted. Upbeat, relaxed, but with a sense of occasion. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.”

“We were so pleased with our son’s naming ceremony and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Peter to anyone considering planning one. We felt very comfortable with him guiding us through the process. He offered plenty of suggestions and was easily accommodating of our preferences. He led the ceremony with a thoughtfulness and humour. We appreciated the time he spent getting to know us and familiarising himself with our outdoor location. Many of our guests told us that they had found it a really meaningful ceremony.”

“EVERYBODY, absolutely loved the ceremony. What a perfect day!”

Peter was fantastic and delivered the most uplifting, yet poignant ceremony we could have hoped for. He was incredibly helpful and understanding throughout the planning of the memorial and everybody talked about how magnificent he was. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

  “Fully recommend Peter, professional and friendly and no small detail was missed.”

“*****  and I are hugely grateful to you for leading the service as you did last Friday for ***. It was a truly wonderful, poignant and memorable event, and you facilitated our grief and our celebration of our father with great sensitivity, empathy and warmth. ***’s service still feels a wonderful thing to have crafted together, and through conversations with friends, I’m continuing to understand more about its importance for us as time goes on.”

           “Peter handled the ceremony really well. The eulogy was delivered perfectly with the right balance of sympathy and humour. All of the attendees commented on how professionally Peter handled the funeral.”

“Couldn’t have wished for a lovelier day ..an unforgettable wedding”

“Although funerals tend to be rather sad and sombre occasions, I did not see it as that and in fact I enjoyed the occasion immensely and I am sure J… would have too. Your presence and conduct of the service made all the difference and I cannot imagine it being any better than it was”

“A perfect balance of sense of ceremony and also joy and informality”

“I think it took an amazing man to tell another amazing man’s story. I will never be able to thank Peter for what he has done for us. We are a modern and complicated family, with even more complicated relationships which Peter Gaskin managed to balance with care and respect. My dad would’ve loved your words Peter, thank-you.”
