Kind Words

Holly & Jamie

We wanted our wedding to be authentic, ‘us’, and importantly fun for our 200 guests! We had a vision that our day would celebrate our love for each other and the community who love our love. Our guests were standing, so it had to be short. Yet in that short time, we wanted to make them laugh (and cry a little) and put into words all of the love we felt for each other.

Poppy was the magic touch that elevated our ceremony from something that ticked the box to something captivating, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

“Poppy made it all feel easy. She first chatted to us and helped us articulate our vision”

From the moment we chatted about our vision, Poppy made it all feel easy. She shared helpful guides she had written and helped us choose exactly what we wanted every step of the way. We chose a middle ground where she shared the key details with us beforehand, but we still got to experience that excited butterfly feeling at the altar, listening to real-time reactions to the heart-melting and hilarious things we had written about each other. It was honestly so special!

The awesome thing about having Poppy as our celebrant is that she doubled as the event planner we didn’t know we needed. It turns out there are a lot of logistics to get right for a windy beach ceremony with 200 people! Poppy saved the day, helping us adapt our plans to the tides, sourcing a portable sound system that discreetly blended into the background, and even magically sourcing a beautiful wooden podium on the day when we forgot to arrange one for signing papers.

“It felt like Poppy was on our team, holding it all together every step of the way”

It added such an element of calm seeing Poppy standing there waiting on the sand as our wedding party processed down the beach. I knew everything was prepared. It felt like Poppy was on our team, holding it all together every step of the way, while also naturally being invisible at all the right times so we have beautiful photos of just the two of us.

She knew where to stand, what to say, and what to bring for every scenario. I am so grateful to Poppy for creating this moment and memory for our guests and us. A true professional!
