The little things are often the things couples remember most.
Every couple's ceremony is different, but the experience of working with a celebrant matters just as much as the ceremony itself. These are a few of the things couples have remembered about working with Eliza — from feeling comfortable and supported to knowing that everything was taken care of.
In an industry filled with stress and chaos, Eliza was our breath of fresh air.
Eliza made us feel instantly comfortable and confident that she would go above and beyond to make our day everything we hoped it would be.
There were so many occasions she went above and beyond. Eliza made everything smooth and easy and ensured that the focus was always on us as the bride and groom.
The best feedback is knowing couples felt like themselves.
For me, the best feedback isn't simply that a ceremony went well. It's hearing that couples felt comfortable, understood and completely themselves throughout the process.
That's what I want every couple to feel — that their ceremony isn't something they've been given, but something we've created together that genuinely belongs to them.

Choosing Eliza as our celebrant was one of the best decisions we made. Eliza took the time to understand what we wanted and created a ceremony that perfect for us. She guided us through the process with so much care and made everything feel simple and stress-free. On the day, she brought the perfect balance of warmth, humour and emotion. After the wedding Eliza guided us through all the legalities. I would highly recommend Eliza!

We were so incredibly lucky to have Eliza as our marriage celebrant. From the very beginning she was supportive, organised and genuinely invested in our day. She guided us through every step of the process, helped us plan and rehearse the ceremony, and made sure we felt completely prepared and relaxed. On the day itself, Eliza was our calm in the chaos. She kept everything running smoothly, reassured us when the nerves kicked in, and brought such a beautiful, grounding energy to the ceremony. Her big warm smile put everyone at ease and you could really feel how much she loves what she does. We had so many guests comment on how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was, and that is largely thanks to her. She is truly amazing at her job and we couldn’t imagine our wedding without her. We would Highly recommend Eliza McAllister to any couple looking for a celebrant who is professional, caring and absolutely brilliant at creating a memorable ceremony. It would not have been the same without her !

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant than Eliza. From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, and incredibly calming, exactly what you need when you’re planning something as big as your wedding. On the day itself, she made us feel completely at ease and held the ceremony so beautifully. The ceremony she created was thoughtful, personal, and genuinely special. It felt so *us*, and that’s something we’ll always be grateful for. So many of our guests commented on how amazing she was and how much they loved the ceremony and the biggest compliment? By the end of the day, some of our friends were already saying they wanted to book Eliza for their own wedding this December because they were so impressed. We feel so lucky to have had Eliza marry us. She made the whole experience unforgettable, emotional and heartfelt 🤍 THANK YOU! You’re the best.

Eliza made our ceremony feel deeply personal and genuinely connected to who we are as a couple. From our very first meeting, she was thoughtful, organised, and truly interested in getting to know us. She guided us through the process so smoothly, offering ideas, answering questions, and helping us shape a ceremony that felt warm, meaningful, and completely natural. On the day, she brought such presence and clarity. She spoke beautifully and made us feel grounded and calm in a moment that could easily have felt overwhelming. The ceremony was one of our favourite parts of the entire day because it felt so sincere and so “us,” and that was entirely because of Eliza’s care and talent. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything she did.

We had Eliza officiate our wedding in November 2025 and we would highly recommend her. She was always great with communication, very calm and organized and was a great inclusion in our day.

Eliza was so thorough and clear throughout every step in preparation for our big day! She was accessible via phone and email at all times and we could rely on her with any questions and queries we had. Eliza's presence was certainly felt on the day, she was calm, warm and relaxed and worked really closely with us in creating a ceremony unique for us. We were lucky enough to have seen Eliza work her magic a few years prior marrying very good friends and fortunate to have her as our celebrant. We would recommend her to anyone who is after a calm and relaxed spirit at the wedding. Eliza it was such a joy to collaborate with you! Thankyou! Photos by Ivy Erlinger, Loveday Weddings

Eliza was an absolute gem! From coming up with the most beautiful ceremony to keeping us cool, calm and collected on the day, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was even able to quickly wrangle our unruly crowd into a group photo as a huge storm was rolling in! If you want a celebrant who is relaxed, calming and super organised we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Eliza! From start to finish, she made the entire process feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely enjoyable. Eliza took the time to really get to know us, and created a ceremony that was not only tailored to our story but also perfectly reflected who we are as a couple. Her planning was thorough and thoughtful, and she remained flexible and open throughout. No question was too silly or too small. Eliza always made time for us, keeping us calm and confident. We truly felt cared for, and it was clear she was just as invested in making our day special as we were. So many of our guests commented on how heartfelt and unique the ceremony was. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Highly, highly recommend Eliza! - Olivia and Jack

Eliza is such a joy to work with. From the moment we met on the day, she brought this calm, grounded energy that made everything flow so naturally. She’s one of those people who just makes everyone around her feel comfortable and confident, and that carried right through the ceremony. As a professional MC, I really value working with celebrants who care about collaboration, and Eliza is exactly that. She made communication easy, supported everyone involved, and created a space that was full of warmth and heart. Watching how she connected with the couple and their guests was genuinely inspiring. Eliza is the kind of celebrant who doesn’t just run a ceremony, she helps create an experience people remember. It was very evident by the way she interacted with our couple and the kind of ceremony she delivered, I can’t wait to work with her again!
