Toni was absolutely wonderful! We had a garden wedding on a wet winter afternoon and although it was freezing, the ceremony was the most joyful, warm and heartfelt experience we could have ever wished for. Toni was warm, personable, professional, funny and very charismatic. The guests all loved her and so many raved about how funny, heartfelt and unique the ceremony was. We’re still hearing so many compliments on how it was the best ceremony they’d attended and how they want to know who our celebrant was! From the first meeting, Toni listened to us with what we wanted, was flexible, professional and most importantly understood us as a couple. She made the planning stress free and fun. And on the day, Toni was super organised and an absolute joy. We and our guests had the best time because of Toni and we couldn’t have been happier!

We recently worked with Toni for a weekday elopement-style wedding. She guided us through a process to create a ceremony that fit both our budget and our relationship, and she was an absolute joy to work with the entire time, even when we weren't always sure what we wanted she was patient and gave us plenty of options. The ceremony she wrote for us ended up being a beautiful reflection of us as individuals and as a couple. She also put us in touch with absolutely top-class vendors that suited our small ceremony. I would highly recommend anyone seeking celebrant services in Sydney look up Toni!

Matt S

Toni is exceptional and goes above and beyond for making your wedding ceremony as personal and intimate as possible. She offers unique takes on tradition and has a veritable depth of knowledge and experience to bestow. Our wedding was a blended Indian + Filipino celebration and Toni was able to accentuate our ceremony with her insight while listening to our requests. She has a warm and light-hearted personality, engaging and has an insurmountable talent for improvisation and organization. 

Samantha

Toni was both indispensable in helping us navigate our wedding, and exactly the right choice as celebrant! She mixed humour and touching in a way that was beautiful, ensuring both us and our guests had a fantastic time! She had many great ideas for our ceremony, and did a wonderful job tailoring it to us, leaving us with memories we'll treasure forever - which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. I can't praise her enough, and I am so pleased we chose her!

Elaine W

We had the most wonderful experience with Toni as our wedding celebrant. From our first contact with Toni, to meeting in person, to the process Toni walked us through to plan the ceremony and our wedding day itself, Toni made everything feel easy and seamless. Toni has a light, relaxed energy that made our ceremony feel fresh and fun, while also writing a really meaningful and touching ceremony which many of our guests commented on. The way Toni wrote our story felt like a great reflection of us as a couple which made our ceremony really personal. Toni was a pleasure to work with, we highly recommend having Toni as your celebrant. You wont regret it :)

Caroline B

Toni made the wedding experience as easy as can be, from our initial meeting to the big day - she ensured that we had our perfect ceremony that was beautiful, fun and heartful. Our guests loved it. She also did a great job as our MC, helping to organise group photos post the ceremony, and keeping our reception on track while also keeping the crowd excited! We decided to go with Toni after seeing her in action at another close friend's wedding and knew straight away that's what we wanted, and we have recommended her another one of our friends who Toni will be officiating for later in the year. I would like to say we would definitely go with Toni again - but hopefully wont need a second wedding :)

John T

We had the absolute pleasure of having Toni be our wedding celebrant and it was the easiest and best choice we made. You supported us every step of the way and made the whole process so easy with your communication and kindness. Toni, you created such a beautiful ceremony for Aaron and I, that was perfectly charismatic and so personal to us both. There was the right amount of energy and laughs in the room too, all thanks to you. We had so many compliments about you, and I will recommend you for years to come! Thank you so much, Toni! Veronica & Aaron.

Veronica M

From our very first meeting to the final moment of our ceremony, Toni was nothing short of exceptional. Her organisational skills immediately stood out, and her willingness to meet and discuss our vision was commendable. Toni didn't just listen to our wishes; she offered invaluable suggestions, enhancing the entire ceremony. Despite my nerves, Toni's confidence and calming presence put me right at ease. She narrated our story with such grace, capturing the essence of our journey perfectly. The whole process was seamless, thanks to Toni's expertise. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Kristy H

From our initial enquiry email all the way to the civil ceremony, Toni has been incredible to work with. She walked us through the whole process to ensure she could execute our vision for the civil ceremony. On the actual day, Toni ensured everything went smoothly, from checking the audio, positioning the bridal party and working seamlessly with other vendors. She told our story beautifully and made our day so special. She has great attention to detail and knew all the little quirks when it came to planning a ceremony to ensure that nothing was missed. We could not have asked for a better marriage celebrant. Thank you Toni for being a part of our special day!

Mikhail T

We were super happy having Toni as our marriage celebrant - we met her at the bridal expo and her bright and easy going energy was exactly what we were looking for. She gave us lots of options for how each section of the ceremony could be personalised - many of our guests told us our ceremony was unlike any they'd been to before and it felt very 'us'. She helped coordinate the procession and was always a calm energy on what can become a frantic day. We're thrilled with her services and would definitely recommend her as a marriage celebrant! 

Chloe Y

Where do we even start with how amazing Toni is! From when we first met over Zoom, she was so friendly, down to earth, and relaxed that we immediately knew she was the celebrant for us. During one of the most stressful times in our lives, she made everything so easy & hassle free. She created the most unique & ‘us’ ceremony that our family & friends could not stop talking about. She made sure the day ran smoothly, from helping me with my veil to making sure the grooms & groomsmen looked presentable. She was an integral part of our special day - we wish we could do it all over again! We highly recommend Toni!

Bella F

Toni was the most incredible marriage celebrant that we could have hoped for. She made the process so easy, and was one of the highlights of the day. She was well prepared, made sweet and funny content for our ceremony, spoke beautifully, and put at us ease throughout the whole process. We had so many of our guests comment how perfect she was in her role, and that she made everything fun and interesting during the ceremony, while maintaining her professionalism. Her signature services suited us perfectly made our ceremony so memorable. We cannot thank her enough. We give our wholehearted recommendation for Toni Elsley to anyone looking for the perfect celebrant for their special day. 

Megan L

Toni was amazing! We met her once and instantly knew that she HAD to be our celebrant. Here are some reasons why she was fantastic! - extremely relaxed, easy going and all round pleasant! - she went through all the details and walked us through the entire process seamlessly -she asked us all the right questions so we wouldn't miss anything - she told our story so beautifully to everyone. Our guests were complimenting how the ceremony wasn't boring, or long. They loved her humour and how natural it all felt. - Toni is solution focused. We had some hiccups (as you do) and she soldiered on with us to get it done! We loved her attitude. We can't thank Toni enough for her work! Oh and she loves a selfie too - how cool is that! 

Jacqueline L

AMAZING! Working with Toni was an absolute pleasure in the lead up to our wedding. We had met Toni at a friend's wedding and immediately knew that she was the celebrant for us. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, and had a wealth of knowledge to share with as we prepared for our wedding ceremony. She wrote a STELLAR couple's story and made the ceremony light and fun. We had lots of people compliment our ceremony, saying that Toni absolutely captured who we are as a couple - nerd jokes and all! Our guests thought that we must have known Toni for years and years due to the detail she weaved into the couple story, and also the way she interacted with us on the day. I would recommend Toni to anyone who wants an amazing and incredible celebrant who provides a bespoke and touching ceremony!!! 100/100!!!! 

Michelle E

Toni was our BEST wedding vendor! We met through a close friend's wedding and she blew us away. We knew we had to have her marry us. Her persona and professionalism carried our ceremony from the very beginning, making sure every thought and process went smooth all the while making it stress free, fun, and most importantly such a VIBE. She holds herself to a high standard however she is so bubbly! Everyone loved her, we even had one of our guests mention she wants Toni to be her celebrant. Toni has a certain flair and finesse which is unmatched. We knew we needed someone who could engage with the audience, the bridal party & us as as couple and Toni ticked all the boxes. Her experience definitely shows all the while making sure the focus was on us as a couple. Toni we have nothing but love for you! 

Jenny L

Toni was sensational. We had one of the wettest days in Sydney and our "wet weather plan" wasn't such a good plan. Toni moved mountains (literally last minute) to ensure our day was as smooth as possible. She made our ceremony so fun, meaningful, special and wonderful that we didn't even realise the flash floods and last minute change of venue. We have received nothing but positive feedback on Toni with family and friends saying "Toni was sensational", "Who was that celebrant, she was one of the best I've seen..." and "Where did you find Toni, she was so good!" Feeling well and truly blessed, that despite all of out other plans turning chaotic, we had the calm in Toni. Cannot recommend her highly enough. 

Mikala Y

Toni was by far the best celebrant we could have asked for. From the initial meeting through to the execution on the day, we could not have had a better person to officiate our ceremony! She stated to us initially that she doesn’t like to make any two ceremonies the same, and to tailor every couple’s ceremony to them. We can unequivocally confirm this to be true. The amount of comments we received from our family and friends about how impressive Toni was came at no surprise to us. Quite simply, if you’re looking for a marriage celebrant to help make your special day easy-going, with minimal stress, then you’re best to look no further than Toni. 

Ryan H

We first saw Toni officiate our friends wedding and we were captivated by her charisma. She was very professional and took the time to meet with use to run through our ceremony and take care of all the administrative work regarding the marriage certificate. Toni performed a very special spirit ceremony during our wedding ceremony and this is something w our guests will never forget! We highly recommend Toni if you are looking for a charismatic celebrant who will facilitate a 'breathe easy wedding' process!

Razielle M

Toni was absolutely incredible. She created such a meaningful and personal ceremony for us - telling our story so well and with so much energy and charisma. Working with Toni throughout has been seamless - she is very detail oriented and professional. From the beginning, we loved her laidback, positive vibe and she really carried this energy throughout our ceremony. We had so many guests complimenting her and telling us how fun our ceremony was. Could not recommend her more highly, thanks for everything Toni!!

Helen C

Highly recommend Toni! I first experienced Toni's amazing work at a family's wedding! Years later we saw Toni again at a wedding expo. We instantly felt Toni was very experienced and had a great, genuine and sincere personality. It was fate! She went above and beyond for us and wrote a beautiful story of us in less than a day. She was on top of everything! Helped on so things I never imagined. She made me so feel at ease before walking down the aisle and during the ceremony. Toni was the reason why our wedding ceremony was perfection! 

Kelvin C

Toni was AMAZING. From the moment I met her it was a no brainer, and we locked her in very fast! Toni organised everything for us so we didn't have to lift a finger, which is what every couple needs when planning a wedding! She created a ceremony that was so personal to us. She really listened to what we told her about each other and created a lovely story to share with all of our friends and family. Everyone at our wedding complimented her. Everyone said she was 'so much fun, so calm and made the ceremony so enjoyable'. 

Laura G

Toni was the absolute star vendor for us who went above and beyond. She made sure we were ready for our day by giving us hints and tips for things not even ceremony related. Her ceremony packages are the best I had seen and provided an opportunity for such an individual ceremony like none I've ever seen. The ceremony she wrote for us was absolutely moving and she captured us perfectly. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Please, please book Toni, you will not be disappointed.

Brooke M

Toni provided us with our perfect ceremony, with the ideal balance of fun, laughter and sincerity. She listened to our love story and translated into beautiful words that described us and our personalities perfectly. We had a lot of sobs - and a lot of loud laughs, and our guests commented on how impressed they were by her ability to engage and involve everyone. Her unique cocktail ceremony was also a hit! Toni is the perfect celebrant and we'll recommend her to anyone!

Alyssa C

Toni has been with us from day dot and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has helped us with. We will forever be grateful to her for delivering a beautiful ceremony and wouldn't change anything at all. From structuring our wedding, helping us getting our certificates and all other legalities up to the moment we said " I do" and more! We highly recommend her to any couples looking for a Celebrant. She was amazing throughout everything! We promise you that you'll never regret having Toni. 

Karlo S

Toni was amazing! She made the whole ceremony planning journey feel like a breeze. She was there to respond to any questions we had and was very open-minded with any requests we had. My now-husband and I were so nervous walking into our first in-person meeting not knowing what to expect but walking out, we felt ready to be married! On the day of the wedding, we had an amazing time during the ceremony and would not have changed anything. We want to thank Toni from the bottom of our hearts and would recommend her to anyone out there looking for their celebrant. 

Nancy

We are so happy that we chose Toni to be our celebrant. She is down-to-earth and brought the most amazing energy to our wedding. She has always been professional whilst being vibrant and fun as well. She asked us alot of questions in order to get the right feel that we would like throughout our ceremony and she delivered well. Her planning kit was extremely useful to help structure our ceremony. We felt really well taken care of and it was one less thing we had to worry about because we knew we were in good hands. Highly recommend!
