We absolutely loved having Rose as our celebrant! My (now) husband is not one for the spotlight or the formalities of a wedding, but Rose had this amazing way of making him feel very comfortable, and an enjoyable process overall for both of us. The way she brought together our stories and weaved her magic was incredible. The day was filled with lots of love, even more laughter and amazing memories were made. A big thank you to Rose for her part in making it the best day of our lives!

As cynical, unsentimental types, we weren’t particularly excited about the ceremony part of our wedding, but having seen Rose in action at one of our best mate’s nuptials, we knew she’d bring some fun and energy to our vows. What we didn’t expect was how special and celebrated and loved she made us feel on our big day, and our guests had a great time too – after the ceremony, everyone kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing she was. Ten out of ten. Will use her for any of our future weddings, for sure.

My favourite part of our wedding was the ceremony; not because the party was average, but because the ceremony was so lovely. We met with Rose a couple of times, answered all of the questions, and she came back with an absolute masterpiece-nailed it first go. We wanted the ceremony to be a celebration of our relationship, and it was. It was beautifully written, sincere, funny, smart and captured what we wanted to express perfectly. Rose was wonderful. Thanks for marrying us, you fabulous woman xx

We just wanted to get in touch to write you formal thank you because you honestly made our day so perfect! We had so many people telling us that it was the best ceremony they'd ever seen, and that is testament to all the hard work and love you put into creating that for us. We are so grateful to you for giving us such an incredible gift which we will always treasure. You are an absolute legend. Thanks again for being there on our special day, we hope you had as much fun as we did.

Choosing a celebrant in Auckland was one of the most impossible tasks in wedding planning because you are choosing one person out of so many to officiate the most important day of your life. You want someone who can encapsulate both your personalities, someone you can have great banter with and feel like you’ve known them for years and someone who can help create the fondest memories of your special day. Rosie did all of that and more. Rosie was quick to respond, down-to-earth and very accommodating. The heartfelt ceremony she wrote summarized both our personalities to a tee and she made our small intimate ceremony (the day after our big Hindu ceremony) amazingly special yet incredibly relaxed. Thank you Rosie for creating my favourite day with my favourite man!

Our wedding ceremony was total magic, and Rose was a huge part of that. She had paid close attention to what we wanted and got it exactly right. It was personal and romantic without being flowery, and it was really funny without being a comedy routine. It was light and happy the whole way through, and our friends and family were over the moon. Speaking of thoughtful - Rose even ran her outfit past me in advance to make sure it would look right in photos! Could not recommend her highly enough.

Thanks again for everything! You pretty much nailed the ceremony - it was exactly what we wanted. ️ Honestly you put me at ease, getting up there was my biggest worry and you made it a total breeze. Perfect mix of light hearted fun with a dash of romance, just took the stress out of being up there in front of everyone! Can’t thank you enough!

If you're shopping for a celebrant, stop looking and strap in for the "Rosie Swale Experience". We were the luckiest couple in the world to be married by this thoughtful, beautiful, sentimental, lively, funny, enthusiastic woman. She went above and beyond to make our elopement and wedding day the most moving and special experience; we laughed, we cried, then laughed some more and are now eternally bound by the ridiculous jokes she made and the gorgeous magic she wove for us on a day we'll never forget. It certainly wouldn't have been as good without her.

Rosie and I have a long and lasting friendship, which made it a natural choice for her to be the celebrant at our wedding. Mohammed, on the other hand, only met Rosie days before the wedding. With her warmth, humour and care, she quickly formed a strong bond with my fiancee and conducted a ceremony that reflected so much of our personalities and love story. We can't express enough what Rosie did for us that day... Professional, charismatic and sweet.

Thank you again for being the best celebrant, it wouldn't have felt right having a stranger up there with us. You made the ceremony personal and the guests loved you! We had so many positive comments about you post wedding. And you matched the groomsmen, love it!

We didn't want our wedding ceremony to feel super formal - a nod to tradition but also relaxed and fun. Rosie set the tone just perfectly, putting us at ease with her bubbly personality whilst also showing respect for the ritual of saying our vows. It was a beautiful day and we felt so lucky to have Rosie as our celebrant.

We want to say a huge thanks for being our marriage celebrant. Neither of us had a clue where to start in terms of organising our wedding ceremony and so not only did you save the day but you made the day!

Your relaxed and warm manner, wonderful sense of humour and gentle guidance calmed our nerves and helped us weave our story, our friends and our families into the fabric of the ceremony making it a unique and special day for us all.
