Funeral Service for Diana - June 2022
Hello Anita
I wanted to send a special thank you to you for doing such a wonderful job at Mother’s service last Thursday.
You were so efficient as well as being so gentle and caring and as a result of that the service came together beautifully. We believe it was just as our Mother would have wished it to be and to see everyone walking out with a smile on their faces was exactly as we had hoped.
It was such a pleasure meeting you Anita and I wish you all the very best in the future.
Kindest regards, R

Rachel and Sandhya's Wedding - April 2022 - Bellbowrie, QLD
Working with Anita was simple, effortless and reassuring. She guided us through the legalities and took care of all the necessary paperwork with great attention to detail without making it onerous.
The service crafted with Anita’s support allowed us to share and express with our guests with a level of intimacy that brought them closer to us and made them a part of the day as well as being able to make it a special and memorable event for us all.
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.

Memorial Service for Judy - April 2022 - North Brisbane, QLD
Hi Anita, sorry I couldn’t catch up with you yesterday after the service. Just want to thank you for your amazing service to celebrate my mum. You were absolutely amazing and I can’t thank you enough. So many people afterwards said that they were so impressed by the service and the amazing presence and glow that you gave during the service. Mum would have been so happy with the way it all went. Thank you so much again.

Funeral Service for Joe - April 2022 - Deception Bay, QLD
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.

Emily and Daniel's Marriage - November 2021 - Hamilton, QLD
Anita is a kind, warm and welcoming professional who made the entire ceremony planning experience an absolute dream. We were continuously reassured and supported in the lead up to our wedding and appreciated the freedom and encouragement we were given to tailor the ceremony exactly to our preference. 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.
We had such a wonderful experience working with you. Thank you again for being there for us throughout the entire process and for being part of our special day – it really wouldn’t have been the same without you!

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."

Kirstin and Jo's Marriage - May 2021 - Gold Coast, QLD "We both would have no hesitation in recommending Anita to anyone".
From our first meeting with Anita we were openly embraced, accepted, honoured and completely understood not to mention met individually and as a couple. As Anita’s commitment to every detail and her care is limitless and it never faulted. Every time we had any contact with Anita whether it was in person, via email or over the phone the consistency remained lovingly solid throughout all the months preceding the wedding day and was amplified on the 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.
Anita so beautifully captured our essence not only as a couple but also as individuals and provided and presented a wedding ceremony that truly represented us and the love that we share for each other and everyone equally so.
Our ceremony was the most beautiful and enriching celebration of our love and of the union we share as partners now united as one. All of our family and extended family in attendance have expressed how they felt so welcomed and held by Anita and how personal, intimate and joyful they felt the ceremony was.
We have no hesitation in recommending to anyone/everyone in choosing Anita as your marriage celebrant you will be honoured, held, supported, guided, encouraged, inspired and loved every step of the way before, during and after your wedding ceremony.

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.

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.

Jacinta and Bernie's Marriage - July 2019 - Brisbane City, QLD
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

Kylie and Helmut's Marriage - March 2019 - Cowbell Creek, QLD
Anita brought such grace, organisation as well as calming presence into our ceremony and was available to help us throughout the whole wedding process. She went beyond our expectations, even picking up the phone outside of business hours and colour coordinating her own outfit to match the theme of our wedding. Feedback from our guests after the wedding consistently rated our ceremony as one of the most beautiful and engaging they ever attended. It was such a heartfelt ceremony that will stay in our and our guests' memories for many years to come. Anita puts people at ease and has the seemingly effortless ability to hold everybody's interest without taking focus away from the couple. We couldn't rave more about Anita and feel very fortunate to have found her. In summary, if you think about getting married, you should look no further than Anita Stanfield as your celebrant. We recommend her unequivocally.

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!

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.

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.

With love, Jacinta Nelson.

Anita conducts herself in the most professional and friendly manner and it was an absolute pleasure for her to be our marriage celebrant.

Also, Anita was considerate in what she wore, ensuring she didn’t clash with what the bride and groom wore.

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.

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.

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.
