“Wow what an experience, JC was the perfect fit for our nuptials. We wanted something that was both very unique yet not too frilly. JC was with us from the word go, sorting out our notice of intention to marry within days, then nurturing us both during the writing process the night before our wedding. What we had was a truly Reece and Cat celebration, you can tell from our faces that we had the best time with JC. Thank you so much, would highly recommend very professional”

“Booking Ardent Celebrations as our celebrant and MC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! Jeanne-Clare took so much care and attention to detail to craft her ceremony speech to tell our story and held our 120 person crowd's attention with baited breath the entire time. We had a huge amount of feedback and comments from our friends and family about not only how much they loved how personal and customised everything was, but also how flawlessly the reception ran from start to finish. JC connected with all our event planner, DJ, photographer and our bridal party every step of the day but also tailed our event structure to the way we wanted it so it felt more "like us" instead of a traditional copy/paste wedding. Could not fault JC on anything - she is made for this role!”

“Jeanne-Clare was our marriage celebrant in March 2022 and it was the best decision we made for our wedding. She is INCREDIBLE, kind, warm and so engaging. We received support from JC throughout the planning process. She both wrote our ceremony and also choreographed and taught us our first dance.
Let’s start with the ceremony. JC crafted a beautifully personalised and fun wedding ceremony for us. She was supportive of all our needs and requests and we’re still getting compliments from our guests about our ceremony. There were tears, laughs and lots of smiles. JC perfectly encapsulated our love in our ceremony. She was warm, beautifully spoken, funny and made everyone in attendance feel at ease and part of the ceremony which was very important to us.
The process of learning our first dance was so much fun. JC and her partner Ash came to our house over 3 dance lessons and taught us our dance. We danced as the sun set in our backyard over the summer months and it was such a fun and romantic thing to do. JC and Ash were both so generous with their time and compliments and we honestly felt like pros at the end of the lessons. It was a beautiful way to connect as a couple before our ceremony and meant we got to know JC really well before the special day.
JC took care of all the paperwork, it was completely seamless and the most heartwarming part of the wedding planning process. If you’re looking for the perfect celebrant, JC is it! She made us both feel so calm and at ease on one the biggest days of our lives and we will forever be thankful for that.

“Ardent Celebrations helped us to deliver an Australian-Vietnamese wedding in Mount Dandenong. This package included the fun and helpful dancing lessons for our first dance song. JC and her partner were so helpful and encouraging that we welcomed them as guests as well to the wedding to dine and share the experience with us.”

“JC was an amazing celebrant for our small Melbourne wedding ceremony. From the very start, she was excellent at communicating, extremely responsive, wonderfully enthusiastic and made me and my (now husband!) feel very comfortable. She is a very warm, loving, caring, funny and energetic person - which came through in the ceremony that she led. She also gave us different ideas/options for how to do the ceremony with the number of guests we had and that worked a treat! She also has a great eye for detail and was able to pick up on some updates that needed being made to our NOIM form. We are so thankful and happy that she was able to take part in our special day!”

“We had a pretty tough brief for JC - going from zero to legally married and receiving the certificate within a couple of weeks. No easy task, given the hurdles presented by the Australian authorities. As if that wasn't enough, we wanted a completely non-standard, Viking themed wedding a couple of weeks later.
JC pulled through for us on all counts. Thanks to JC, I've been able to start my new job with international relocation on-time with my new wife alongside me. And our crazy wedding ceremony was totally awesome.
At all times through this process JC was an excellent communicator, prompt, warm, professional, well dressed and knowledgable. What more could you ask for, really?”

“We engaged JC as a celebrant and MC at our wedding under extremely short notice. We, and our guests, found her professional, engaging and funny throughout the ceremony and reception and we couldn't speak highly enough of the service she provided! Thank you for making our Wedding day so special JC!”

“Jeanne-Clare was excellent! A true professional.
She led us through the process with expertise and patiently answered all our questions, big and small. JC drew our guests into the event beautifully and conducted our ceremony with humour, grace and warmth.”

“JC was the MC (yep MCJC) at our wedding and she was amazing. Not only did she keep our wedding fun and fresh, she also helped James with writing his vows. He was really nervous about them, and JC was amazing. JC totally got what we were asking for and nailed the high energy and fun mood we wanted, and has kept our friends talking about our wedding months later. She’s a legend!”

“JC was great! She helped us have the fuss free wedding we wanted. She made sure the ceremony was short and sharp as we requested and was always super responsive and really helpful”

“On our fiftieth wedding anniversary recently we wanted to renew our marriage vows, and Jeanne-Clare Storace agreed to act as the celebrant for this occasion.
We found that she had not only great personal charm, but understanding, sensitivity, tact, and a knowledge of where to find useful resources for the wording of the ceremony. She quickly grasped our wish for a low-key, semi-informal occasion and was able to make helpful suggestions for the smooth running of the celebration. Her introduction to the vow renewal was well-worded and highly appropriate; she consulted with us at every step of the way and was endlessly patient and flexible in dealing with our uncertainties and changes of mind. Her sound equipment was effective but unobtrusive; and in short, we were delighted with the way the ceremony went off.
We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a celebrant for a marriage or any similar ceremony.”
