Matthew Herbertson2025-09-21 Can't praise Gary highly enough. From our very first meeting to the day of mum's funeral, Gary was very professional, caring and attentive every step of the way. He captured mum's memory perfectly, I know without a doubt she would have approved. The service was beautiful and for that we are truly grateful. Thank you Gary. Fiona Herbertson lyndsay warnock2025-09-01 We used Gary at the passing of our Dad. Gary was brilliant from the very first contact and made the process very easy. He was great at getting the information from us in a way that we didn’t feel pressured. When Gary send over what he had pulled together it was amazing. Also his presentation on the day was outstanding. Would not hesitate recommending Gary. He was fabulous 😊 William McGill2025-08-26 Gary recently conducted the service at my mum’s funeral. He was recommended to us by the Co-operative and proved to be an excellent choice. Gary came to our house, collected all the information that he needed and gave us plenty of options to consider, On the day he conducted a smooth and efficient service, summing up my mum within minutes at the start. From the start to the finish I found Gary to be pleasant, personable, attentive and professional. I would highly recommend him for any celebrant task. Thanks again Garry Catriona Mcblane2025-08-21 With such a short period of time at crematorium every minute counts and Gary covered my dad's whole life amazingly. So many people commented on how well he summed my dad up in a fun yet very respectful way. Personally Gary helped me all the way. Searching out words for hymns when I couldn't find them. I would highly recommend Gary, he take all the personal information you give him and creates a beautiful story of your loved ones life. Thank you for the whole family Gary Rachael Millar2025-08-18 I was luckily enough to know Gary personally as we previously worked together, however since our first meeting regarding our wedding, we knew we were in the best hands. He was everything we hoped for in a celebrant - personable, genuinely funny, incredibly organised, and wonderfully calming throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Gary made the lead-up and the ceremony itself feel effortless and enjoyable. What stood out most was how perfectly he captured who we are as a couple. The ceremony felt just like us, chilled, heartfelt, and full of warmth and laughter. It was the perfect balance of sincerity and light-heartedness, and our guests are still talking about how personal and memorable it was. Gary went out of his way to help in every possible way, not just on the day but in the lead up to the wedding as well. Nothing ever felt too hard or too much trouble for him. He made us feel completely at ease, and we’re so grateful for the care and thought he put into every detail. We honestly couldn’t recommend Gary highly enough. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your ceremony truly special, Gary is your person. Stuart Blue2025-08-17 Gary came out to speak to us and couldn’t ask for anyone better. Gary was great from start to finish with helping us out and the service he carried out was outstanding. Highly recommended Donna Sinforiani2025-08-16 I was privileged to have Gary as celebrant for both my late brother and mother.Iwas put at ease straight away and no matter how distressed I was Gary offered compassion, gentle guidance with me always feeling in control.He has a wonderful ability to create a truly personal service that both captures the essence and honours the memories of your loved one. I still have friends and family who talk about comfort they gained from this and I have no doubt Gary's approach was a positive factor in how I have coped with my grief in the months after.I have no hesitation in recommending Gary to anyone.THANKYOU Again Gary Donna Sinforiani Isabel Stirrat2025-08-13 After my dads passing Gary was very helpful,compassionate and understanding,my mum was in hospital watching service online and thought Gary was great telling the story of my dads life,I loved the poem he wrote about my dad, everyone said it was a beautiful service.Thank you very much from Isabel and family. Cameron Smallwood2025-08-13 Our family are absolutely blown away with the care and compassion shown to us by Gary. From our very first visit, he made opening up and speaking about our dearly loved Husband and Dad an enjoyable experience. His care and attention to detail was faultless and the trilogy and poems that he created for my Dad were absolutely amazing. He kept in contact, making sure we were 100% okay with everything before the service and after. On the day, words cannot do justice to how he conducted the service. Of course, we had every faith in him from the word go, but the compliments surrounding him were endless. There is no better person to put your faith in to carry out your loved ones final send off in my, and my family's opinion. Thank you so much Gary, ve are forever grateful 🙏 Gaynor and Family x peter hyslop2025-07-02 A massive thankyou from all our family to Gary, a very professional n compassionate individual. Who brought some happiness to a very sad heart break.. thank you with all our heart and love Peter & Family
