Afaf Girgis Marriage Celebrant Newcastle

We had a surprise wedding which went off spectacularly well, due in no small part to our fabulous Celebrant Afaf. Afaf was with us right from the word go ensuring that everything was well planned and helping us every step of the way. She was always available to talk with and we had plenty of face to face contact. We would highly recommend her to any couple wanting a stress free and wonderful day.

Afaf recently was celebrant for the second time for our family with our son’s naming day. Afaf naturally understood what the naming day meant for us and spoke beautifully! Timely, organised & helpful in the lead up and on the day. Thank you again Afaf ♥

Michael and I decided to have an intimate ceremony and did not have much time to put everything together, I was 8 months pregnant and did not have much capacity for planning a wedding! Our first meeting with Afaf was amazing, she took the reigns and really made us feel so comfortable and excited about the planning process. All paperwork and legal stuff was sorted by Afaf and we did not have to do any running around, Afaf was so accomodating ready to help us out with anything we need to arrange for our special day. The day of our ceremony could not have been more special, the ceremony Afaf put together was perfect and everything we wanted. It was intimate, romantic and beautiful. Best part is Afaf had everything from the ceremony printed for us to keep, we can go back and read it all.
Thank you Afaf for a wonderful ceremony, we are so happy to have met you and that you were the one who married us. We are also grateful to have found such a wonderful friend in you! Can't wait for you to meet our baby girl :)

Afaf absolutely nailed it as our celebrant! Our ceremony was personal, engaging, funny and told our story perfectly. Not only did Afaf do an amazing job at our ceremony, she also pitched in to help fix my bridesmaid's dress that broke just before we had to leave for the ceremony!! Afaf was also super helpful and reliable in the lead up to the big day. We could not recommend Afaf enough!

10000000% recommend Afaf as your wedding celebrant!! We couldn't have asked for a more personalised, unique, "very us", beautiful ceremony. Afaf really took the time to get to know us and our story. She also made us feel very confident and calm in the lead up as she was very prepared and made sure we were all on the same page. So glad our paths crossed with Afaf :)

Afaf was the best celebrant we could have asked for! Her personalised approach before during and after our big day was everything we wanted. Our ceremony was the perfect blend of romance, fun and commitment and made it a day that we and those closest to us will never forget. Thank you Afaf, we could not recommend highly enough!

Afaf was an amazing celebrant and I would recommend her to anyone. She took the time to listen to what was important to us and make sure the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. We both were anxious about the ceremony, and wanted something small and intimate, and she made sure we were both comfortable throughout the whole process. She was very kind and a great communicator. Thanks again Afaf!

Afaf was a wonderful celebrant. She put so much effort into planning a truly memorable and beautiful ceremony for us and was very accomodating to my individual needs. She was professional and lovely. Thank you so much Afaf for the most incredible wedding ceremony!

We loved having Afaf as our celebrant! She totally nailed our wedding ceremony, it was a beautiful mix of humour, solemnity and earnestness which we thought reflected us so well. Lots of the guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, and that they really loved her delivery of it! She was also a great source of support and calming energy before the ceremony. Couldn't recommend her enough for all occasions :)

Afaf. Reaya and I could not be happier with our wedding ceremony! Seriously it was perfect. From our first zoom meeting we knew we’d made the right decision choosing you to be our celebrant. And by the time you were officially bringing our two family’s together, it honestly felt you were already part of ours.
The respect, warmth and sincerity you brought to our day 100% set the tone for a moment in our lives that we will always happily cherish.
Thank you times infinity!

It was a pleasure to have Afaf at our wedding as our celebrant. She was very professional, organised and friendly. She was very flexible to work around our busy schedule and we appreciated being able to conduct our meetings online. We loved her idea of the "ninja vows" for the ceremony - they made the ceremony a lot more fun! Thank you Afaf!

Afaf was absolutely fantastic!! Guided us through every step and helped us though our preparations, then ran a flawless ceremony on the day.

She had personalised everything according our personalities and stories - I cannot recommend her enough to couples looking for a celebrant for their special day.

Thank you so much Afaf for being part of our wedding.

Afaf was a perfect part of our day and an easy part of our planning. She is across the board on everything, helping with vows, writing and conveying our love story, and offering different touches to make our ceremony more unique and special. Couldn’t have asked for a better process or ceremony.

I would highly recommend Afaf to anyone needing a celebrant for any type of wedding. Afaf took the time to meet with us online (due to Covid) and discuss our ideas, wants for our ceremony. We met with Afaf several times to plan the ceremony. It was all so smooth and such an easy process!

We were both anxious about our vows and how to write them and afaf was there to provide even more support!

Our ceremony was filled with tears, laughter, claps and huge smiles. I personally wanted no photos taken and didn’t want to see a phone in the ceremony and this was something I stressed to afaf prior to the ceremony and she ensured everyone had their phones away! Afaf also included little quotes from our favourite bed time tv show (big bang theory) during the ceremony which both my partner and I understood 😂

We had so many people come up to us and Haag how good our ceremony was! Cannot recommend Afaf enough!

Thank you thank you thank you! 🤍

We had the absolute pleasure of having Afaf as our celebrant over the weekend for our small but personal backyard wedding ceremony. Believe it or not, we did not meet face to face until our wedding day, however the connection we created over phone calls and video calls, we just knew that Afaf was the perfect celebrant for us. Afaf personalized our ceremony and made it completely "us'. She has gone above and beyond and we simply could not have chosen some one more amazing to marry us. Thank you so much Afaf. We look forward to seeing you again for more things to come 🥰

Afaf was a wonderful celebrant for our son & daughter-in-law’s garden wedding. She supported the couple with vows , which told their beautiful love story. Afaf’s care and professionalism ensured that all aspects of the ceremony went smoothly and the joy of the occasion was felt by all family and friends. We’re delighted to recommend Afaf to anyone seeking to create their own everlasting memories.

Afaf was our celebrant when my Wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on 14/2/21 by renewing our Vows.

To say Afaf did a good job would be an absolute understatement. She walked us through all the preparations, assisted us putting our vows together. On the day she provided the perfect location for us, and gave us a ceremony that surpassed our expectations. To cap it off she also arranged for her husband Brett take photographs.

For us the day was perfect and we have Afaf to thank for that

I highly recommend Afaf Girgis for crafting a brilliant ceremony for a very special day. Afaf is so professional and calming in her approach and a great communicator. She made everyone in attendance feel so welcome & relaxed by creating a really special ceremony that was romantic and fun! 🥰 👏The special touches really highlighted the extra care and attention Afaf puts into preparing for the day to create a very personalised and memorable event.❤

We asked a good friend of ours to marry us but as it’s quite a lengthy process, we asked Afaf if she would do the legal side of things and of course she said yes. Now, she only got paid for the legal parts but she did SOOOO much more than that!! Her communication is 100/10, she is so professional and so easy to get along with. She’s even become a friend to us as well. Nothing was ever too hard, she was always available if we had a question and she helped our friend with writing her ceremony. I will be recommending Afaf to any of our friends getting married in the future and if we could do it all over again, I’d choose her everytime. WE LOVE YOU AFAF 😍💗 thank you so so much for helping our wedding be everything we wanted and more!!

Afaf conducted the ceremony at my son's wedding which was a small family affair in our garden at home. Afaf exuded a presence which expressed her confidence, professionalism, passion and determination to ensure that the ceremony truly expressed the love and feelings that my son and his new wife felt for each other.
I would highly recommend Afaf to anyone looking for a celebrant who was focused on what her role is all about whilst always mindful of the importance of the day for the Bride and Groom and all family members.
