We engaged Mary as a celebrant for our wedding in the Yarra Glen area in early February 2013. From the initial meeting we felt at ease with Mary and could see that see is passionate about her profession. We did not even bother meeting with another celebrant as we knew from the start that Mary was the one. We received a lot of very helpful information & tips from Mary leading up to our wedding including an information pack with numerous options for vows, readings etc...Mary also travelled to Yarra Glen to conduct a rehearsal with our bridal party and family the day before our wedding and instantly connected with everyone present. On the day, our ceremony was simply beautiful. Mary was warm, down-to-earth and funny. She had obviously listened to us during our initial meeting and created a ceremony that really reflected us as a couple. There were tears (mainly from the groom), but also lots of laughter. Mary spoke extremely well, was very clear and professional. We received many comments on the day about how wonderful our ceremony was. We were extremely happy with Mary and highly recommend her.

We had the pleasure of being married by Mary back in November last year. Mary was the first and only celebrant we met with, from the outset she was extremely warm, friendly, helpful and we knew she was going to do a wonderful job. Not long after we had locked her in we packed up and moved to Perth but even from a distance she was still a delight and easy to work with.
From the first meeting, to the rehearsal and through to the wedding day she was a pleasure to deal with, professional, helpful, personable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The day went smoothly and as expected everything was perfect! We can't recommend her highly enough, if you do choose Mary you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of and done with a smile!
Thanks again!

Mary married us mid December 2012.

From the initial booking, planning the ceremony and order of service, providing an abundance of ideas for vow and readings, you name it Mary was there enthusiastically supporting us along the way. She is organised, professional, passionate and encouraging. There is no doubt that she thoroughly loves her job and this is prevalent as she delivers one of best ceremony presentations. The feedback we have received from family and friends was so positive. Friends planning their wedding have asked for her details so they can have Mary as part of their day too.
I think that says it in one.
Mary, David and I cannot thank you enough.

Mary's service was simply amazing. We wanted something a bit different - springing a ninja wedding on a small group of our friends during a weekend away in Melbourne. As we're based in Tasmania, we had to organise the whole thing from a distance, and Mary made this easy to do via post and video chat. From the start she was invested in our unusual vision, and on the day she brought it off beautifully: I couldn't have imagined better wording for the ceremony. She was even happy to be sneaked up the side of the house and into the backyard when we were springing our surprise!

Mary helped us carry out our day in a way that was uniquely 'us'. If you're looking for someone who will be invested in your individual vision for your wedding, Mary is your celebrant. Thanks, Mary. :)

Mary married my two youngest daughters [the third one to be married by Mary in February]and because of the way she conducted the proceedings, her level of professionalism and attention to detail we knew she would also be the perfect person to conduct our service. Mary had the amazing ability to gather information and little anecdotes from us so as to, individualise the service to make it 'ours' - personalised and relevant to only us, and, to also engage the audience on the day. All our ceremonies were conducted with dignity, poise and sensitivity, sprinkled with a touch of humour. When we met Mary for an informal chat, to get to know each other prior to the wedding,we discovered she is an extremely warm, gentle and personable human being. We all love Mary. She is awesome and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

We asked Mary for a very simple ceremony and our experience was perfect, a beautiful ceremony which was enjoyed by our friends and family. We highly recommend Mary for her valuable experience , follow up and meeting all our requirements.

My sister and I were searching for a celebrant to speak at our mother's funeral. I got onto 'WOMO' and searched under 'celebrants', and then started reading all the positive reviews for 'Mary Adler'. She spent time with us before the funeral and really tried to get to know our beautiful mum so she could do her justice - which she absolutely did. She had a lovely, warm manner throughout the service, and many people in attendance commented on how great they thought she was. I would highly recommend her.

We cannot praise and recommend Mary Adler highly enough. We were very apprehensive whilst looking for the right celebrant due to experiencing less than ideal celebrants at numerous weddings we have been to. As soon as we met Mary we felt at ease. Your celebrant can really make or break the most important part of your special day, we are happy to say Mary made ours.

Mary is extremely professional, thoughtful and caring. She listens to what you want with genuine interest. She also offers great advice and suggestions if and when required. She made our wedding ceremony everything she said she could: personal, meaningful and one that reflected us perfectly. Mary also brought joy, calm and warmth to our day of days and we cannot thank her enough.

Mary is a very special person and we wish any couple entering into marriage the fortune of having her oversee their union. We are thrilled that when we begin having children Mary will be able to oversee ceremonies for them too.

Mary was very professional and accessible throughout. She put together an excellent ceremony for us which matched our wishes perfectly. She conducted the ceremony very well: confident, clear and in no way dominating. We would definitely recommend Mary for any other couples looking for a celebrant.

We had such an amazing wedding day. Mary provided us with many ideas and she created a service that was perfectly 'us'. She helped create the perfect feel and day. We could not have asked for better.
