don't just take my word for it 〰️
We could not have chosen anyone better to marry us. Nat is an absolute legend.
Everyone is raving about how amazing the ceremony was and how good Nat was.
The ceremony was exactly what we wanted and more. Everyone loved the ninja vows, it just added that little bit extra to our ceremony.
The whole process in the lead up was a breeze, Nat made sure we were prepared.
Thanks again for an epic ceremony!

If I had to sum up my whole experience with Nat in one word it would be "legend".
After a last minute change we needed to find a celebrant and were worried about finding that vibe with someone like the connection we already had.
After meeting Nat for the first time I knew she was going to perfect. Every connection we had she just got exactly what we wanted to achieve in our ceremony.
She did a bloody terrific job on the day. 10/10 couldn't recommend Nat more, to anyone wondering... take the opportunity to have Nat on your special day.
There are not enough words to express how thankful we were to have Nat as our celebrant for our October 2022 wedding.
We truly feel like we hit the jackpot!
When we started talking about our ceremony we both agreed that we wanted something that was relaxed, fun, original, and most of all something that felt like us!
Nat delivered us this and more. She had us and our guests in stitches and left our dads with no material for their speeches!
Nat is a complete professional, knows how to balance seriousness with fun, and is totally genuine.

Our initial feelings were warmth, a wicked sense of humour and trust
the fundamentals when someone is telling your story to your nearest and dearest.
..she delivered the PERFECT ceremony for us, which truely reflected us as individuals and as a couple. I had people approach me all night asking if she was a family friend!
Nat .. you are a complete legend in every definition of the word (even though you outed us for the Disney theme park nerds we are.. which we had successfully hidden up until that point!!)
Thanks for your energy, vibe, passion and sense of humour.

There is a REASON this woman has only got 5 star reviews!
Nat is a dead set legend and definitely a ‘non crap’ wedding celebrant.
Nat’s ability to capture our story and tell it in a way that had our family and friends in fits of laughter with some tears in their eyes was truly amazing.
Nat felt like that lifelong friend who you know you can turn to to keep you grounded. I’ll never forget Nat grabbing us after the ceremony and just bringing us back to ourselves!
Needless to say, all of our guests were so thrilled with our ceremony. ‘Let’s do this!’

Hand on heart, the most amazing celebrant in the biz..
Nat delivered the ceremony of our dreams - it was fun, loving and most importantly it felt authentic to us and our relationship. Nat guided us every step of the way and offered stellar advice and tips.
Our family and friends haven’t stopped raving about how great the ceremony was and how wonderful Nat was. Nat was so supportive to work alongside and genuinely cares about those she is working with.
If I could give Nat a 103948392902 rating out of 5, I would. She’s the best!

From the moment we met Nat we felt an instant calmness.
She put us at such ease but she also had us in stitches every time we spoke. She didn't feel like someone we had hired to marry us but she felt like a mate we had had for years!
EVERY single wedding guest raved about how good Nat's ceremony was. She painted a picture of our relationship so well that brought back so many good memories for us.
We were in stitches the entire time which is exactly how we wanted our ceremony to go. Each and every moment during the ceremony you couldn't wipe the smiles of our faces and it was because of Nat.

Nat is an absolute superstar.
We are so grateful for her help preparing for our day. Nat was able to guide us seamlessly through the entire process of writing our vows and she made sure we felt supported, de-stressed and comfortable in the time leading up to the wedding and during our ceremony.
The stories that she told during the ceremony perfectly captured our relationship and conveyed our sense of humour to crowd.
We wholeheartedly recommend Nat, especially if you want a celebrant that is laid back and basically feels like a mate who should be invited to the wedding either way!

To describe how bloody wonderful Nat is, is almost impossible.
From our initial meeting, we knew she was *the one* for us. Warm, compassionate, funny, fantastic at her job. She calmed all my nerves pre-ceremony and during the ceremony.
Everything went so smoothly. Our ceremony was beautiful. All our friends and family commented on how engaging, funny and brilliant our ceremony was.

Woman of the people, Nat Sproal
Choosing a wedding celebrant can be daunting. For us, we wanted a vibe setter and jeez did we find one in Nat.
She’s like a mate you have known for years.
Nat has a way with making people feel comfortable and her informal and fun way of presenting our ceremony set up the whole evening.
She had the punters in the palm of her hand, drawing emotion and laughter throughout.
We lost count of the amount of people that came up to us to mention how good she was.

She had our guests right in her hand.
Like some cliffhanger of an HBO series ender. But not the bad kind.
Everyone was laughing and crying and laughing and wanted more.
Everyone was obsessed with our ceremony and every.single.guest at our wedding said it was the best one they'd ever been to.
She helped guide me through all the moments of doubt or uncertainty, she was always just a phone call or a message away. She has so much knowledge you can TRUST which made the whole process so smooth.
The easiest person in the world to hang out with.

If you’re tossing up between your must haves and nice to haves… Nat is an absolute MUST HAVE!
A wealth of experience, knowledge, connections, gut instinct, energy and encouragement, Nat is so much more than just a celebrant delivering a ceremony.
It set the tone for the night and got everyone in the mood to party!

If Nat's on your celebrant shortlist, don't hesitate - she's the best!
Nat’s adept storytelling, infused with humour, sincerity, and warmth, captured our essence and we kept hearing "That was so you," and "your celebrant was a legend."
Her professionalism and friendliness had some assuming that she must be a long time family friend who just happened to be super competent.
Nat’s organisational skills shone through; her insightful guides and strong network of vendors ensured a seamless flow to our day while preserving our desired relaxed vibe.
Nat became an irreplaceable part of our journey.

Keep this one close! She is magic!
Nat is an absolute legend, and it’s difficult to put into words how full of heart she is!
She listened to us every step of the way and had amazing suggestions for our ceremony that made the whole thing so "us". She is worth every penny.
You will be doing yourself a VERY big favour by getting Nat on board as early as possible.
Unique, authentic, and bold wedding photography for the quirky beautiful misfits. Lysh is an absolute legend to work with. Suuuper chill, will not make you pose awkwardly ever.
