Nathan and Robyn 

“Starting from the first conversation back in 2018 to the ceremony happening in Sept 2023 our experience with Whitedove has only ever been exceptional.  

Nothing was ever too much or questions to silly, their kind supporting nature made every interaction enjoyable. We were lucky to have Sophie Yabsley conduct our ceremony, from our first meeting she made us feel very relaxed and comfortable with the approach and plan for the day. From providing help with our vows, walking through the rehearsal and the day itself, she made everything flow and made us feel at ease about the whole process.  

On the day Sophie was there to help and support Warren who is not comfortable speaking in public and there with a smiling face when I arrived to keep me calm and feel very much at ease. The service was beautiful and would highly recommend Whitedove and Sophie personally to anyone looking for a celebrant for their big day.” 

Katie and Warren  

Your overall efficiency as a company was at the highest standard. Sophie was professional, efficient, so well-spoken and captivated our guests during the [naming] ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.
