Linda & Darren's Wedding - Rotary Chapel Southport, Gold Coast - October 2023
Anita, we were absolutely thrilled for you to be part of our special day. You brought immense care, warmth and understanding, guiding us gently through the process to help us feel at ease with what lay ahead. You were very communicative and well organised in the lead up to the big day, and your constant and steady reassurance was paramount when nerves started to creep in. You held us, and confirmed us, every step of the way.
Your husband, James, was also instrumental in the process and his calming influence was incredibly supportive, both at the rehearsal and on our wedding day.
Thank you both for hosting such a beautiful ceremony. We found not only a celebrant, but life-long friends! We were absolutely honoured for you to be part of our celebration, and our journey.

Funeral Service for Joan - August 2023
Hi Anita
I wanted to let you know that we very much appreciated your help in navigating Mum’s funeral on Tuesday, and indeed for how you conducted the ceremony on the day. I was very impressed that you really got the essence of Mum from our short meeting and from what you must have picked up from the drafts of our speeches.
You made it as easy as possible for all of us on the day, which is exactly what is needed in that situation.
From our perspective we gave her an appropriate send off, which was greatly assisted and enhanced by your involvement.
Many thanks, and our very best wishes to you.

Funeral Service for Bev - April 2023
Dear Anita,
We would like to thank you so much for being our Celebrant, for the service you produced and how you delivered it with such care and kindness. When visiting our home, you asked lots of questions and listened to us talk about Bev's life and somehow made sense of all that we said, and you put together a very touching and memorable eulogy.
The guidance from both you and Natalie in the days following Bev's passing was truly amazing and we achieved a lot in a short space of time thanks to you both.
With warm regards
David, Gayle & Matt

Mary-Lou & Tim Wedding - October 2022 - Witta Community Centre, Witta, QLD
Yes we would recommend Anita as a Celebrant as she is natural in this role.
The morning Tim asked me to marry him I ran into Anita, so I told her and it seemed natural that she would be our celebrant. We had our first meeting with Anita and it was very thorough and we knew then our work of being married had begun. There was lots for us to look at in our relationship and we began the process towards planning our marriage ceremony. It took us longer than expected but this was not always ideal. Anita was very patient and holding of us through this lengthy process and she was so organised with the details. We loved knowing that all the legalities were totally looked after. She had our back through this.
Anita met us at the venue the day before and we did a run through, which was much needed and ensured the finer details of the ceremony were taken care of, as there were many little parts to it, that everyone needs to be on the same page with so it all flows.
Anita has grace and gentle authority that she brings to her expression. We were given a ceremony draft in order to work on and from there we could make the ceremony our own by adding and or taking out, tweaking her and there.
On the day Anita was there in full Anita style, holding the whole crowd as well as us and the ceremony flowed beautifully. It was truly stunning. This was felt by everyone there.
Thank you for making it special and for your appreciation of the beauty that was our wedding day.

Claire and Daniel's Wedding - August 2022 - Boulevard Gardens, Indooroopilly, QLD
Anita was such a calm and soothing person for us. Both my husband and I are nervous public speakers, but Anita was very reassuring and made us feel like we had a lot of support on the day. Anita worked so hard to make the day perfect and had an exceptional eye for detail. She gave a recount of how our relationship began and how it has progressed and so many guests have told us how much they loved this element of our ceremony. Anita made sure the entire ceremony was intimate, personal and unique to us as a couple. She was professional at all times and a very elegant, graceful speaker.
My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Anita and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to feel supported on their wedding day!

Anita respected our wishes and guided us through the steps to make sure the lead up to the wedding and the service itself all flowed smoothly, even down to the fine details of our colour scheme, and theme of the wedding.

Anita what can I say. The minute I saw you I knew you were the right pick for Dad. As I may have mentioned we stalked you via Facebook to check you out as we had only spoken on the phone so I’m thinking who is this person I’m un-raveling my father’s personal life to.
Your presentation and personal adaptiveness to understand my father as someone you might have known personally was exactly what I needed to hear on the day.
Again my sincere thanks.
Thank god for people like you.

Funeral Service for Bryce - April 2022 -Mt Gravatt QLD
Anita, Amy and I want to thank you so much for all you did for us to make Bryce's funeral 'special'. Your kind and caring nature was a comfort to me and was very much appreciated. You helped guide us through, (what was for us, unfamiliar territory), with a minimum of stress. Your tribute to Bryce at the beginning of the service was really lovely and so beautifully worded that it sounded as if you actually knew him.
I've had people comment to me on how lovely the service was, so 'Thank You' once again. I'm so glad that I followed Gavin's advice when he suggested that you be our celebrant. I'll certainly be recommending you to anyone who is in need of a celebrant. I can only imagine how joyous and special you would make the occasion if it was a wedding that you were officiating at.
Wishing you all the best for the future.

Thomas and Vicky's Marriage - February 2022 - Goonellabah, NSW
The highlight of our marriage ceremony was the quality in which we were held throughout the whole day. We were so touched by the beauty and stillness of the ceremony and the way in which it seamlessly flowed from start to finish. Anita is attentive to every detail and clearly knows the special touches that make the day one of the most beautiful experiences for everyone involved.
From the moment we first met with Anita the quality and professionalism of her service was outstanding. And it didn’t end there as that quality and grace was held right through to organizing the marriage registration following the actual wedding day. We had a relatively quick wedding with just over 6 weeks from the day we decided on the date. Navigating COVID restrictions and the beginning of a major flood was all done with such an ease. Having no experience of this process Anita guided us through effortlessly and the actual day of the wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. A day we will hold dear for a very long time. Thank you Anita, it was an absolute joy to have you marry us and we wouldn’t hesitate recommending your services.

Anita is a kind, warm and welcoming professional who made the entire ceremony planning experience an absolute dream.

Anita was always available to answer questions and provide guidance and advice where it was needed.
Thank you, Anita, for helping us create such a beautiful ceremony and for your calming and positive influence which made us feel so comfortable on the day. Many of our guests commented on the personal nature of our ceremony and how they thought it was such an accurate reflection of us as a couple.

Chiara and Tim's Marriage - September 2021 - Mudgeeraba, QLD
Anita was our no-brainer choice of celebrant. She made the entire process so seamless despite many COVID-related changes throughout our journey. What we loved most about her approach was her personalisation of the ceremony. Anita takes the time to genuinely get to know all of her couples beyond surface-level stuff and then summarises it in a way that perfectly encapsulates the two people. This results in a completely non-generic ceremony that focuses on the attributes that each person brings to the relationship. Our ceremony was full of laughs, just as we wanted. It definitely one of the highlights of our wedding and set the tone for the rest of the day. We also felt very safe in Anita’s hands knowing that she would handle all of the legalities and logistics without us needing to worry. We couldn’t imagine anyone else marrying us – thank you Anita!

Annette & Gabe's Marriage - May 2021 - Tregeagle, NSW "The highlight of our wedding was when Anita read our history of being together, and how she brought it all together so purposefully, making it all totally relevant to who we are now, and the path of our evolution together"
"One of the things that is so special about getting married is the Joy that you feel coming together to make a stand for your Love, and to have the celebrant from beginning to end completely immersed in that same Joy is very special. Anita was totally immersed in that same Joy with us from start to finish and beyond . . . this is an incredibly special quality that we absolutely cherished and felt so held by from Anita, and to have her experience the equal same Joy as us, also gave extra depth to the intimacy of the occasion.
It must be said that Anita’s capacity and care with the precision of every detail put us at ease throughout the entire process and made the flow of the occasion on the day totally seamless.
We have nothing but complete praise for the lightness, delicateness, and grace of touch that Anita brought to our Ceremony throughout the whole process, and we appreciate her deeply for it, and will never forget her involvement in that day."

The joy Anita shares, the love that she holds everyone with, the care, understanding and commitment in all that she does is beyond any measure. Anita made every step along the way very simple and so enjoyable as we both felt totally at ease and held throughout.

Kyzita and Joss's Wedding - April 2021 - Maleny Retreat, Booroobin, QLD
Anita was an incredible support for our relationship through the entire process of engaging her as our celebrant. She listened openly to all of our ideas and suggestions and gave us the space to make decisions that we felt would best support us. Anita is incredibly professional and the way she cares for people really shows throughout the process.
Anita supported us to delve deep into our relationship and uncover the qualities that we loved about ourselves and each other. The entire process working with Anita was more than just writing a ceremony for our wedding, as it was about exploring our relationship and coming together to create what was a beautiful ceremony.
Every time we met with Anita, we would leave feeling empowered and completely trusted in our relationship and the commitment we were making to each other. We always felt held and met by Anita, and we couldn’t imagine getting married without her by our side.

Giselle and Elijah - March 2021 - Tamborine Mountain, QLD
What was a highlight of your Ceremony?
Having Anita’s sparkling eyes and gorgeous smile to look back to each moment throughout the
ceremony, and the joy and playfulness of the ceremony.
Testimonial
Anita makes you fall in love with more than just your wife/husband. She really takes you there and explores depths of your relationship that you may not have considered or connected to yourself. As well as this, Anita is an absolute rock (gem) throughout the marriage process and her steadiness allows you to feel so supported in it all. And lastly, she dresses absolutely fabulously for your ceremony – matching to boot. It would be a hard task to find a celebrant if you didn’t know Anita. We couldn’t recommend anyone else.

Renee and Kurt's Marriage - February 2021 - Brisbane City, QLD "We would not hesitate in the least to recommend Anita to our family and friends".
Renee – "I deeply appreciated how light and loving your energy was during our ceremony. I loved that you shared (and reminded us of) our love story. You also reminded us and guided us through the stages of our ceremony flawlessly (ie. look at each other!).
Kurt appreciated how comfortable you made him feel prior to my arrived. I know he would certainly have been feeling nervous, so I appreciate that too!"
Wow, what can I say?!We would literally not have been able to get married without the help of Anita
We received some heart-breaking and devastating family news on a Monday (out of respect for our families, that's all I'll say). My now-husband and I both knew without a shadow of a doubt that we wanted (and needed) to bring our wedding forward to the Saturday (we had just 3.5 days to make it happen!). Yep, our wedding that we'd been planning for over 2 years.
We reached out to Anita to see if she had the availability and ability to help us on the Saturday. Without any hesitation or outward stress, Anita took it in her stride and flawlessly helped us prepare for our ceremony, without compromising any of the important details we wanted!
Kurt and I are so grateful to Anita for her help, support and enormous effort. It means the absolute world to us to have these memories to share with our family now 💕 Thank you Anita! xx

Natalie and Oliver's Marriage - January 2021 - Tregeagle, NSW.
What was the highlight of the ceremony?
All of it. Hard to really single any part out! But possible overall it was the feeling of sacredness of the day and that everyone who attended was a part of this quality with us, and everyone who supported honoured this as well.
Thank you dearly Anita for being super diligent and supportive before, during and after the most beautiful ceremony ever. We are beyond the stars pleased with how the day went. It was incredible the way you weaved our words together into the story that presented our relationship to everyone and we felt very honoured in the way you shared us with all of our family and friends.

Funeral Ceremony for Fay - November 2020
Firstly I want to say "well done". From our perspective, the service flowed very well in relation to its composition and the known time constraints. It didn't appear to be rushed. Your words at the time of introducing each segment of the service were so aptly chosen.

Fiona and Robert's Marriage - June 2020 - The Gap QLD
Dear Anita (and James), Rob and I felt so lovingly held by you both from preparation /paperwork stages right through to saying goodbye. Anita has an amazing attention to detail without being fussy or imposing. She is kind and clear in her guidance but always respectful of the couples wishes. We really appreciated this level of integrity and love being offered to us. My parents were not at the wedding, so having Anita treat us as if we were her own relatives made us feel so relaxed and confident. Thankyou from deep in our hearts for a wonderful and bespoke ceremony with songs and life and love intertwined.

Hi Anita, I wanted to take some time to send you an email to thank you for your wonderful service that you have provided us while JCS was still in hospital and also at his funeral.
This has been the hardest 2 weeks of my life but sending out messages of gratitude helps me to move forward in the best way that I can.
Yesterday was a difficult day but also one filled with love and I'm so glad that I chose you to be the words of wisdom.
Thank you so much and I wish you all the very best.

Megan and Peter's Marriage - November 2019 - Brisbane City, QLD
Peter and I would absolutely recommend Anita to others, in fact we already have. She is amazing at honouring the essence of the couple and making sure this fills the entire ceremony. A fantastic skill.
The highlight for us was just all the amazing personal anecdotes and stories Anita was able to weave into the ceremony. I felt It made it more personal and people who know us well even learned new things about us and our relationship. I also loved the lightness and the laughs.
We had the most amazing wedding with Anita as our celebrant. Not only is she super great to work with, supportive, a loving guide through the process, someone who pushes you to go deeper with expression around the vows and ceremony itself, but she is also stunning and presents gorgeously. She is the full package and the manner in which she holds the space for magic to happen on the day is a true gift.

Caitlin and Nick's Marriage - October 2019 - Toowoomba, QLD
Too many highlights, the whole ceremony from start to finish was exactly what we had hoped for. But if we had to pick 1, it would have to be Anita’s addition to the ceremony of recognising our 3 little girls and her expression of what we had written for them.
Anita’s gorgeous persona and exceptional service is second to none. Our ceremony was everything we’d hoped it would be thanks to Anita. Her lovely introduction of us as individuals and as a couple, was captured perfectly, and the support she provided during the ceremony, allowed us to stay calm and present. We loved every second! Thank-you Anita.

Fiona and Phillip's Marriage - October 2019 - Brisbane City, QLD
We married in our 50s after previous relationships and created a blended family. As such our needs were somewhat different to those getting married for the first time. Anita assisted us in developing a ceremony that truly reflected us as individuals and appropriately acknowledging the special relationships we had with friends and family. She was warm, approachable and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her – nothing was too much trouble and everything was done to ensure the wedding ceremony went smoothly without any glitches. Our wedding was an evening black tie event and Anita was exactly the professional, calm and polished celebrant we desired. All our friends and family who attended were highly complimentary on her performance.
We would highly recommend Anita as your wedding celebrant.

Anita has done it again! Another wonderful celebration of the people she was working with! This was the second time that I’ve had the pleasure with co-creating an event filled with the essence of the person, or persons, that were being celebrated! The first was a family members funeral, and now our wedding!
This happens because of Anita’s gift to connect and honour who she is providing her service for! If you want your event filled with love, and to have a true refection of that love, we highly recommend Anita Stanfield!
With much love and appreciation, Jacinta Nelson & Bernie O’Brien

We absolutely loved everything about the ceremony. The highlight was the whole thing, even before it began. The experience we shared with Anita was amazing, right from our first meeting when we came together to talk about the possibility of her officiating our marriage. Anita presented her in a way to us that said: "I'm here to support you" and throughout the whole process that is exactly what she did, whilst never compromising her professionalism.

We can’t recommend Anita highly enough as a wedding celebrant. From the minute we chose her services to support us with our wedding she was there to guide us through every step of the way. The love and care she offered was immense and really supported us to be able to enjoy both the lead up to the wedding and the day itself. Anita really took the care to get to know us as a couple and was dedicated to ensuring that all the little details were taken care of. Knowing she was there on the day with all the legal parts covered was brilliant as it allowed us to really soak in all the love and affection on our wedding day. The day itself was spectacular and joyous and Anita played no small part in making this such a special and memorable day for us both.

We loved working with Anita Stanfield for our wedding ceremony. Throughout the entire process, Anita was always well presented, professional and punctual along with being so gracious and joyful in her presence. She was lovely to spend time with, and we felt privileged to be standing beside her grace as we married. Anita is very steady as she presents the ceremony, her voice is so clear; she is light-hearted and sweet while not shying away from sharing the depth of love she had observed in us. We would never hesitate to recommend Anita as a wedding celebrant. We watched her interactions with everyone involved in the ceremony and with us and knew full well she can work with anyone! Her warm nature brings a beautiful quality, and for that, we are so thankful. ~

We can’t imagine our wedding day without Anita. Her service and care has been exemplary, from our initial phone call to months after the big day, she has been a huge support. It is wonderful to be guided by someone who understands intimately what is involved in a wedding. Anita constantly encouraged us to develop a ceremony that was a true reflection of us, and everything we wanted to express. Every detail was attended to, from the documentation, to the way she checked in with us, to the stunning way she dressed and colour coordinated on the day. We would have no hesitation in recommending Anita to any couple, embarking on a wedding celebration. She is amazing!

Faye and Denis's Marriage - November 2017- Gold Coast QLD
Anita Stanfield is a truly wonderful marriage celebrant and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have her marry us. From our first contact with her she was professional and endearing. She met with us and took the time to know who my wife and I were; how we met & fell in love; and why we wanted to get married. She was very obliging when we changed our elopement to a wedding only six weeks out from the event. She maintained regular contact to ensure we had everything completed to be ready for our big day and the ceremony she crafted for us was unique, personal, touching and is now a beautiful memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot provide a higher recommendation to her for how we feel. She helped us have a wedding that touched us & our friends and family.
Thank you.

Anita Stanfield is a truly wonderful marriage celebrant and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have her marry us. From our first contact with her she was professional and endearing. She met with us and took the time to know who my wife and I were; how we met & fell in love; and why we wanted to get married. She was very obliging when we changed our elopement to a wedding only six weeks out from the event. She maintained regular contact to ensure we had everything completed to be ready for our big day and the ceremony she crafted for us was unique, personal, touching and is now a beautiful memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot provide a higher recommendation to her for how we feel. She helped us have a wedding that touched us & our friends and family.
Thank you.

Marriage - August 2017 NSW
Anita is a woman full of beauty, grace, sass and joy. We felt so beautifully held by her from the moment we got in touch; her professionalism and advice around the more logistical matters made the process simple and enjoyable. On the day Anita was solid, concise and super light holding and performing her legal proceeding with ease, love and joy. We really appreciated Anita’s flexibility and unimposing nature regarding how we as a couple wanted the ceremony to run, making the day very special. We couldn’t imagine the day without her.

Funeral Service for Quinn - June 2017 - Albany Creek, QLD
If you're searching for a funeral celebrant, that has the ability to gain a true sense of the loved one you are saying good-bye to, Anita, is this person.
When my sisters and myself, met to share our farewell arrangements, for our younger sibling with her, the held connection she offered us was amazing. It was her understanding, re our loss, her gift of asking just the right questions, to gain an essence of our sibling, and her loving presence with us, that produced the perfect memorial and laying of ashes service.
Anita became part of our family team, that allowed our farewell day, to unfold with love and an ease of truly honouring our sister. Yes, there were tears, but there was also much joy. So, I have the great pleasure, of highly recommending Anita to you.
With love, Jacinta Nelson.

Tash and Josh's Wedding - May 2017- Bribie Island QLD
Anita went above and beyond when it came to our ceremony. With extreme professionalism Anita worked with us to provide a very personal and special ceremony for our day.
Our ceremony was us to a tee, which left our guests wondering if we had written the ceremony ourselves. Anita also brought a sense of humor and happiness to our day and helped the day run smoothly for us.
Thank-you Anita we will be forever grateful for the memories you brought to our day.

Ulrike and Matt's Wedding - February 2017 - Byron Bay, NSW
Anita conducts herself in the most professional and friendly manner and it was an absolute pleasure for her to be our marriage celebrant. She went beyond what was asked of her, as it was evident she loved the ritual and all involved in being a celebrant. Anita helped us with the wording of the ceremony, the order of proceedings, and general etiquette of a wedding. All the time the advice was without pressure. Also, Anita was considerate in what she wore, ensuring she didn’t clash with what the bride and groom wore.
It was an absolute joy for Anita to be our celebrant and I would recommend her to others as she approaches such events with an openness, honesty and love of what she does.

Alana and Tim's Wedding - November 2016- Brookfield, QLD
The entire ceremony was something that we will never forget and it is difficult to pick one single highlight as we loved everything from beginning to end. A few highlights include the moment that Tim saw Alana for the first time, where Anita included both Alana’s mum & dad in the giving away ceremony recognising the equality of relationships, signing of the register, Anita describing the story of how Alana & Tim met, and the announcement of Mr and Mrs Seth.
We wanted to say a huge thank you for the time and thought you took into making our dream wedding ceremony become a reality. We are so thankful for your support and sensitivity throughout the entire wedding process. You really listened to us and understood who we are as a couple, and as such, you provided a wedding ceremony that truly represented us, our values and our relationship. We are so thankful for everything you did for us from your guidance regarding the wedding legalities and answering our many questions to the elegant and absolutely beautiful ceremony that you created for us. We have received a lot of feedback from our family and friends regarding how personal, intimate and moving our ceremony was. Thank you for helping to make our special day so perfect.

Justine and Darren's Wedding - October 2016- Daydream Island, QLD
Even though you knew us, you took the time to know our story and include all our family and friends. You understood how we felt and what we wanted to share
in our ceremony. You accepted the parts we wanted to keep and wanted to remove without judgement or hesitation.
You adhere to the detail and organisation as Darren and I do, all with a lovely, gentle, unwavering flow. Darren and I felt very blessed to have Anita marry us and share in our celebration. Anita supported not only us, but our children and made all those involved feel at ease. Her organized yet gentle and gracious demeanor set a beautiful precedence reflecting through the entire ceremony and congregation.
We would certainly recommend Anita as your wedding celebrant, especially if you would like someone who is honest, supportive, understanding and loving.

Emily and Thomas's Wedding - June 2016 - The Gap, QLD
As anyone knows, getting married is a huge event in your life. A time that brings joy, and for us – a fair bit of anxiety. Anita was such a beautiful support throughout our whole process of getting married.
Anita really made the process, legalities and documents a very simple affair over a beautiful cup of tea. She really got to know ‘us’, and what we wanted in our ceremony and totally nailed it!
Our ceremony truly was a beautiful celebration of our union. We felt totally at ease and could really enjoy the moment.
Anita went over and above what we expected and she hosted the most gorgeous and unforgettable ceremony. It is certainly a moment that we will never forget. We felt so supported and taken care of right from the start and right down to the smallest details.
Thank you Anita!

Alana and Clayton's Wedding - April 2016- Brisbane City, QLD
We can’t recommend Anita highly enough!
Alana and I couldn’t have been happier with our ceremony.
We particularly liked the personal touches you added through the stories of our early life together
Our ceremony was everything we had pictured and more. On such an emotional occasion, having someone like Anita added that personal touch to our special day.
Anita completed a pre meeting with us a number of months before our day and provided us plenty of time to review the details of our ceremony. This gave us time to concentrate on the other items of our day and be nicely surprised on the day.
Perfect in every way! Alana and Clayton
Lynn and Deryk's Wedding- October 2014 - Annerley QLD
Deryk:. From our first discussions with Anita, she was thoroughly prepared, organized, and open to our ideas. She was a knowledgeable and considerate guide through the planning, and a wonderful and calm influence on what was a very beautiful day.
Lynn:. In the lead up to the wedding, I loved that Anita had a structure (which was really helpful to keep us on track) however she was also very flexible and encouraged us to make the day ours by sharing those parts of our journey together that we were comfortable about sharing with our family and friends.
This resulted in the ceremony being very fresh and fun as we brought our ‘selves’ to the gathering.
I love Anita’s relaxed manner with people, she has a way of holding the day and making everyone feel welcome and comfortable and I am very glad we had the pleasure of her presence on our day.
