Paul Bonadio - A Stand-up Celebrant

Thank you, Paul.
From the start you were extremely professional and friendly.
We really appreciate how organised you were (especially when we weren't) and patient as well.
Thank you for making our ceremony special and most importantly tailored specifically to us. You took care of us the way you would have your friends and many of our guests even commented on it.

Really appreciate it!

I can't recommend Paul enough! He was patient, communicative, reasonably priced, professional and was invested in our special day. We hosted an engagement party that we turned into a surprise wedding and part of the surprise was having one of my groomsmen, Al to officiate the ceremony.

Paul was able to make this happen through his brilliant My Celebrant Buddy service. Paul coached Al, assisted him make a script, and got all the legalities out the way so that Al could share his take on our story. Needless to say, the crowd went nuts!

Thanks again Paul!

Paul was a pleasure to work with. From initial contact until after our wedding day. He made the process clear & straightforward. His communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. He guided us how to go about the whole ceremony and gave clear options that suited what we wanted for our day.
His website was entertaining, clear & contained heaps of valuable information to support us to write our own vows.
Many of our guests asked us afterwards if Paul was one of our friends as the ceremony was so personal and really reflected us as a couple. And although neither of us ever plan on using his wedding celebrant services again, we would both highly recommend Paul to any other couples looking to tie the knot.

Thank you so much Paul for delivering such an amazing ceremony for Joe and I! Paul is an absolute pleasure to work with and he really nailed the right balance between a light, funny, yet beautiful ceremony (which we had asked for). The entire process was incredibly fun and we had so many guests comment that Paul was amazing! We even had guests stating that the ceremony was the best they had ever been to. I really cannot remember much from other ceremonies i have attended, so it was really lovely to hear that the ceremony had guests laughing, shedding a joyful tear and had them excited for the rest of the evening.

We can't thank you enough Paul.the ceremony truly went above and beyond our expectations!

Agatha and Joe

We could not have been happier with Paul as our celebrant and MC if we tried. After two coffee catch-up's he absolutely NAILED our script. He captured our relationship that well, that our friends and family genuinely thought he was a friend of ours.

We have no hesitation in recommending Paul to every single couple out there. CHOOSE PAUL, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Paul was an absolute legend the entire way through the process!
After our ceremony almost every guest said it was the best ceremony they had ever been to when they came for our congratulations. Paul knew the perfect way to share our story include all the important bits, the right amount of lovey stuff, and awesome jokes that had everyone laughing and feeling comfortable and included. If you are looking for a celebrant that will make your ceremony truely personal and so happy book a stand up celebrant! Seriously one of the best decisions we made!

We were fortunate to have Paul as our Celebrant for my fathers funeral. He did such an amazing job at our wedding that I trusted he would add the same sentiment and humour to my dads celebration of life ceremony. Paul did just that and more. Thankyou so much Paul for being part of our celebrations and making a sad day a lot less sad.

My Partner and I have been together for 35 years and had a surprise wedding at her birthday party. We found Paul on the internet and we could not be happier. We had one meeting with him prior to the event and the rest was so easy. His ability to describe us from the minimal information provided was exceptional, as if he had been there since day one.
He had the guests in stitches and all were very complimentary of his work.
We would highly recommend Paul to anybody who would need a celebrant.
Thanks Heaps

Paul couldn't have made us feel more comfortable throughout the whole planning all the way to ceremony. Many compliments from our guests!

On a day where everyone everyone met my husband with “Are you nervous? ”, Paul was the only person to tell him “You’ll be fine”. We had multiple people tell us after the ceremony that they laughed, and I quote, “Not just ‘the celebrant just made a joke, time to laugh’ kind of laugh, but real laughter”. It was perfect, what more can I say?

Paul set the tone for our wedding! He captured our story brilliantly with a good balance of laughter and tears from us and our guests. He was a calming influence on us both leading up to and as we said our vows. Paul was the standout of the wedding impressing many of our guests with how well he knew us (many thought he was a long lost mate). Paul you are a legend. Thank you. Alex an Steph

Paul did an awesome job as our celebrant and MC at our wedding over the weekend. Paul made the whole process easy for us and we received so many compliments from guests. We can't recommend him enough.

Paul delivered an outstanding ceremony that was personalised and tailored to us. Family and friends raved about the ceremony and how much they enjoyed it. Bride left beaming on the day!

Paul was a fantastic celebrant, fun, efficient and organised from the start. He has found the perfect balance between comedy, personalisation, warmness and professionalism in his ceremonies. We had so many guests raving about how memorable and personable the ceremony was and many were asking if he was a close friend.
10 out of 10, would recommend.

Paul was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made every step of the process clear and simple to follow, and from our first meeting he made us feel comfortable which eased any nerves we had about the ceremony. Paul managed to capture and convey our story perfectly, which really made our ceremony feel personal. We received so many compliments about Paul from our guests, and we really couldn’t have been any happier with how the day went. We would highly recommend Paul for a fun, down-to-earth and relaxed wedding.

We caught up with Paul a few times before the wedding to plan the ceremony - it was a relaxed experience and felt like catching up with a friend! Paul managed to put together a lighthearted yet beautiful ceremony from the random snippets of info about how we met and what we were like as a couple. I remember when we received the first draft, my partner and I were blown away by how well he captured us and our experience and were laughing in bed as we read it - Paul is extremely talented!

I was originally a bit skeptical about having a ‘stand up celebrant’ - but Paul finds the perfect balance of fun and sentiment without being tacky.

Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and many of our guests have commented that it was the best ceremony they have been to as it really showcased us as a couple and gave guests some insight into our journey in a warm, fun and entertaining way. We can’t thank Paul enough for his time and patience. We HIGHLY recommend you lock him in for your ceremony - you won’t regret it!

My wife loved our ceremony. Paul worked tirelessly to customize our wedding, including humour and references to our two cultures.
Thankyou Paul

Paul (the stand up celebrant) thank you! You made the whole process easy and most importantly memorable! All our guests and family couldn't stop talking about how great the ceremony was and how you had the perfect balance of humour and love when you spoke. Thanks again for everything!

Paul is everything we wanted in a celebrant and more. Everyone kept talking about how great the ceremony was and fantastic Paul was as a celebrant. The words absolute champion were flying around. It was the perfect mix of light-hearted and sentimental. He's collaborative to work with and picks up on the detail in your relationship to tailor it to suit you as a couple. Everyone who attended loved you Paul - As did we! We couldn’t have asked for a better job. Thanks for making our day everything we wanted it to be.

Paul - Thank you! End to end it was seamless, smooth, fun, exciting and a complete pleasure. You worked really hard and because of that - the ceremony was the highlight of our entire day. Paul is a very talented copy writer and we loved our script so much. He was able to really capture our essence, our sense of humour and the delivery was so articulate. We're so appreciative of everything Paul - thank you so much:)
