Testimonials

I cannot put into words how amazing Deb is both with her work and also as a person. Deb was the event coordinator, decorator and florist for my wedding. I cannot describe how happy I am that Deb was a part of my wedding. When I told her I wanted a subtle Alice in Wonderland theme with the decor at the reception based around the mad hatter’s tea party, she hit the ground running and knew exactly where to source everything down to the smallest detail. Deb made my experience planning the wedding all the more fun and I couldn’t have done it without her. The wedding was fantastic and absolutely beautiful, she took my half-baked ideas and turned them into works of art. We cannot recommend Deb more and you will regret not having her as a part of your special day.

Joanne Riki Wilson

“I attended a friend’s wedding that Deb had assisted with styling and flowers. It was a intimate backyard wedding and Deb did a perfectly spectacular job with the setup and decorations for this couple’s wedding. Deb transformed that place into the perfect blend of the bride’s natural beauty and the groom’s laid-backness. The place was stunning! Deb has a gift for creation, thank you for sharing it!”

“Deb made beautiful table decorations for a friends 80th birthday at Waters Edge. Lots of positive comments from the guests. I can highly recommend Debs services.”

Pauline Foster

“My husband and I got married on the 29th of February 2020, and Deb had been our decorator and she was also responsible for all the flowers. We had our wedding ceremony at Christ the Living Vine parish in Australind and our reception was at the Ballroom of the Rose Hotel.

It has been months since our wedding and we actually continue to get family and friends raving about what a fantastic job Deb had done with the church and the reception venue, and the flowers!

Deb has been so amazing to work with – she was so patient and understanding throughout the process and she was always on hand to help with questions, even ones that weren’t strictly about decorating or flower arrangements. As a person she is a kind, warm individual and she is so easy to talk to. There was never any idea that was too weird with her – black tablecloth? No problem! “Can I have a starry night feel on each table?” Sure, we can make it work! You can really tell she’s passionate about making sure you have the best day possible and will do anything in her power to make it happen. She kept an eye out for us as well, making sure there wasn’t anything that we’d missed in the planning process. She was very thorough and professional throughout that whole ordeal that she eased a lot of the initial stress from the planning process because we knew we were in good hands with her.

My husband and I had a smaller wedding and we didn’t have a giant budget, but even with limited room Deb was flexible and able to work her magic and make our fanciful ideas come true. She had a pretty sizeable collection of items for hire that we were able to look through, too! It was always a blast checking them out.

As for the flowers – I came to Deb so clueless about flowers, only with a general idea of what I ‘maybe’ wanted. Nothing specific – all I knew was that I wanted it to be bright and colourful and maybe native, if anything was in season. Deb was so patient with me, narrowing that very general idea down to a clearer picture of that dream bouquet. And boy, did she deliver. The flowers were so beautiful – the church flowers, my bouquet, my bridesmaids’ bouquets, the buttonholes and corsages and the flowers on the cake! She’s got the touch, I’m telling you.

If we had to go through the entire experience again, we would definitely come running back to Deb the second time too. She has been such a champion – 1000% recommended, for sure.”

Roselle Horan

“Deb was so brilliant, and it felt like i had known her forever. She made me feel so relaxed and was so professional. Deb has such a positive experience towards everything, and she made my wedding day. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She went above and beyond!”

Laura H. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Deb is a great marriage celebrant and a professional in her field. We couldn’t have found anyone better. I, like all brides, wanted everything to go perfectly and Deb certainly helped in this. We also ordered the services of a florist and I am more than happy with the result. Everything was decorated amazingly. I sent her a photo of the wedding bouquet that I would like and got even better than expected. All the flowers were fresh and of the best quality. There was incredible support and care from Deb during the preparation for the wedding, as well as during the ceremony, and I am very grateful for this. She has a very sweet and kind personality. We were lucky that we managed to find such a wonderful specialist. Thank you.

“My Ceremony Was Absolutely Beautiful! I Can’t Thank You Enough For Going Above & Beyond. It Was So Beautiful & Elegant Just The Way I Wanted It To Be. Your Truly Amazing At What You Do. Thanks So Much For Everything Deb ❤️”

Samantha N Fabian

I would highly recommend Making Memories with Deb to anyone! My husband and I can’t put into words how amazing Deb was for our special day. Deb was our marriage celebrant, decorator (both Ceremony and Reception), did all of our floristry and went above and beyond with taking care of us. In the lead up to our wedding, Deb placed so much love and care into the planning of our wedding and she conducted our ceremony in such a comfortable, personalised and beautiful way. The huge effort and detail that Deb put into everything was noticed by all of our guests, with decorations ranging from vases, florals, petals, candles, chairs, back drops, signages… truly a “one-stop shop” for everything we would’ve needed, including our bouquets, boutonnieres and our flower girl’s basket and floral crown. Thank you for making EVERYTHING so special, Deb!

“What a beautiful setting for our friend’s 60th birthday celebrations Deb. Thank you! We all loved it”

Julie Ranson

“She was really easy going and had a lot of knowledge. I have obviously never planned a wedding myself and understood exactly what we wanted. She was incredibly creative and was very great with our time schedule, even with the short notice. She had photos of all our options and got it exactly how I wanted it. We used every part of her business and I couldn’t have done it without her! I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Deb did our legal ceremony at home for us and we kept it quite casual as we had our big celebration in Bali. We got everything sorted easily with Deb and met twice before the day and she took care of everything.”

Samantha D. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She is an amazing person with a beautiful heard, that goes above and beyond to make everything work out for the best. Even though she was down with covid and was in isolation, that did not stop her to make my 80s theme engagement party a night to remember for me and my family. Can’t wait to plan my wedding with her again xx

Deb, went the extra mile for us to make our wedding the most beautiful and memorable experience. She suggested wonderful creative ideas which made a fairly large area look intimate and comfortable. Her floral ideas and arrangements exceeded our expectations with many compliments from our guests as well as from the staff and hosts of Saint Aidans. We highly recommend Making Memories with Deb if you are looking for someone to make your day a distinct, intimate and unique day. Warm regards and a wonderful festive season to you and Debs

“Deb hosted a gorgeous naming day for our boys. She was professional, thorough and easy going. Her decorations were creative and made with care. I would highly recommend her services ☺”

Makenzie Pelusey

From start to finish Deb was simply amazing! A year before my wedding I got in contact with Deb to arrange a time to meet and go through everything. She spent 2 hours of her time with me planning. Over the course of the year she kept in contact and went above and beyond to make my day perfect. She even went to extreme extras by hand making a custom request with her friend. So amazing of them both. Deb did both my ceremony and flowers and cake flowers. It was just all outstandingly beautiful. The moment I got my flowers the day before the wedding I just cried in awe of them. So, thank you Deb for creating my wedding perfectly and exactly how I imagined. I loved my flowers so much I needed to make them a forever piece, so I have had them preserved. So happy with all the service I received and the set up I chose. Absolutely beautiful and I’ll never forget what you done for us Deb. You’re a beatufil lady inside and out and your work should never go unnoticed.

Hannah H – Wedding Celebrant

“Thank you so much for making our celebrations so special today Deb. Your attention to all the small details such as the personalised calendar and individual photos was just amazing and will be fondly remembered by us all for many years to come.”

Jenny McDonnell

”I spent a lovely morning today with Deb, helping to prep flowers ready for her to assemble bouquets and corsages for a wedding tomorrow – a great way to escape the heat outside and surrounded by beautiful fresh flowers! I must say that Deb’s care and attention to detail when making up the bouquets was amazing! 5 exquisite bouquets including the bride’s, plus 13 button holes, 1 corsage, 2 flower girl baskets and “aisle marker” arrangements. All I can say is what stunning work Deb!!”

Meeta Piller

Deb was our celebrant and it was a magical experience having her. She has a bubbly personality and is very warming and welcoming in all communication and meetings. Our day would not have been the same without her.

Luke D – Marriage Celebrant

“We loved our experience with Deb! From everything from her laid back and approachable demeanour, professional and prompt approach, to her very creative crafting and styling! Deb can do it all! She is a chameleon which I believe would be able to blend into any environment or atmosphere u personally desired and my nephews naming ceremony was the casual but meaningful experience my sisters envisioned for their babies and loved ones. Deb even hung around for the festivities afterwards and fit in just like she was one of the fam which to me just added so much more importance to the day. Deb was apart of the whole experience, not someone just paid to say some words out of a book and then leave. Deb made it feel so much more intimate then that. Was a lovely and very meaningful experience to us all! Thank you for all the effort u put in Deb. Ur passion is evident ✨”

Caris Pelusey Baruffi

I knew from the moment I met Deb that I wanted her to marry us. She has such a warm and kind soul and made us feel very comfortable, it felt as though it was family. So professional and happy to help in any way. Highly recommended.

Caitlin & Dillan – Wedding Celebrant

“Deb did the flowers for my wedding and did an amazing job! The flowers were vibrant and beautiful, and it was so great working with Deb! She was so open and willing to work with very vague instructions, achieving incredible results. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

Anisha Dekker

“Deb was an amazing celebrant, she truly went above and beyond for my now husband and I, she listened to everything we wanted and had to say, she set up the most beautiful area for our ceremony, she is just amazing at what she does! 10/10!”

Tahlia Ferbrache

Deb was absolutely incredible. She was the first and only person we interviewed to be the celebrant for our wedding. We left the meeting and immediately said to each other that she is exactly the sort of person we were looking for – kind, funny, confident, and experienced. During the time between meeting her and having our wedding, we contacted her multiple times with questions and requests. She was always happy to take our calls, and she also responded quickly to our never-ending emails. We also hired some lovely equipment from Deb for the ceremony. A week out, Deb called to say she was unable to officiate for medical reasons, but had already organised a wonderful celebrant to take over. Deb didn’t rest until she knew we were properly looked after, and we’ll forever be grateful! Feo our side of things is was barely even a hiccup. Thank you Deb!!!
