Dear Coral,
Thank you very much for being our marriage celebrant on Sunday, 10 June 2007. You provided a wonderrful, calm atmosphere for all and it was greatly appreciated.
Your lovely, calm nature and welcoming smile put this very nervous bride at ease! Your easy instructions and words of wisdom were welcomed by all members of the bridal party.
Since our wedding day we have received many complements on our ceremony and have you to thank!
You provided a very moving, sentimental ceremony which Chris and I were very pleased with. Your stylish presentation and beautiful smile made the ceremony even more pleasant for us and our
guests.
Again, thank you for a fabulous job and the very fond memories we carry with us today.
Kindest regards,
Jude Lambeth
Hi Coral,
As promised please see attached photos of the ceremony. I've included one of the ring warming, which everyone loved, by the way.
We appreciated your professional and compassionate approach to the ceremony and would certainly recommend you to other prospective couples.
Kind regards,
Kristi and Terrence
Dear Coral,
Well we're finally back from a great honeymoon in Thailand after having such a fantastic wedding! Thankyou so much for the beautiful ceremony you gave on the day and the time and effort you
spent helping us to get it just right. Everybody has commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and said you were lovely! We couldn't have asked for it to be more
perfect.
I have attached a couple of pictures of the ceremony that i thought you might like. We have also filled out the rating form over the internet and we will post the ceremony/vow
choices folder that we have back to you asap.
We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did and hopefully we will cross paths again!
Best wishes,
Jessica and Damien

Dearest Coral,
Happy New Year to you. Hope you are well.
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for everything you did for Daniel & I. Our wedding day was just perfect & the ceremony delightful. Everyone commented on how wonderful you were & how personal
you made the ceremony. If I know of anyone getting married, looking for a celebrant I will recommend you highly. Thank you so much for making our day so special.
I am just about to go onto ABIA website to vote for you.
Hope you have a great 2008!
Lots of love,
Bianca AKA Mrs Katsanos!!
Hi Coral,
This is just a quick notes to say ' Thank you so much for the fantanstic Wedding service !! ' everyone there did nothing but compliment us in our choice of Celebrant, saying how lovely they
thought you were!
Again, thank you,
Narelle Johansson
Dear Coral,
Just a final email to say thank you for the reaffirmation ceremony you conducted last Friday evening at Seven Shilling Beach for Raphael and I.
Considering we didn't meet until just before the event, had arranged everything by email, and that things felt completely disorganised at our end, we were
thrilled with the ceremony. I loved how calm you were prior to the event - as we made final arrangements only 15 minutes beforehand and how you tranformed what we'd
sent you into a cohesive and beautiful presentation. I know I made a great choice in asking you to perform the ceremony for us. You made it all very easy - which is
really what we were after.
No stress nor fuss. We loved the entire evening. Thanks for being part of it.
Cheers,
Karen & Raphael (the Swiss Aussies)
Hi Coral
Thanks so much for making our ceremony so lovely it was the most beautiful romantic wedding I have been to, we are so happy and will continue to be through our lives.
We loved meeting you and we are so grateful you married us, we couldn’t of asked for a better celebrant.
We will send you some photos as soon as our photographer gets them to us.
Kind Regards Suzi & Grahame Gare
Hello Coral,
We have just arrived back in Perth hence the delay in contacting you.
Both Jim and I would like to thank you for your assistance in providing a wonderful event for our son's wedding. Your
assistance was most appreciated especially since I was trying to arrange everything from Perth by email.
Everyone that you recommended was very good. We have filled
in the form on the ABIA website and given you 100% on all points.
Thank you again for all your help.
Regards,
Joye & Jim Dormon
Hi John,
General Manager of (ABIA) Australian Bridal Industry
My name is Kylie & I wanted to vote for what I believe the BEST CELEBRANT EVER! Coral Kortlepel was our celebrant on 19th Oct 07.
We have just got back from our honeymoon & cannot
thank her enough.
We were married on the Sydney Glass Island which she has done many weddings on board & all went perfectly.
I already had a celebrant booked until my fantastic florist Floradiction highly recommended I meet with Coral. I was looking for an elegant lady with style & class to represent our black
tie wedding & when we met Coral there was no question! We booked her straight away.
Not only her stylish appearance but her switched on mind! As we have no idea what has to be done we found her to be professional & super organized with a personal touch. I remember our final
meeting with Coral my mind was turning to mush with brain over load organizing the wedding & her words & professional take charge attitude left me at ease. She told us at the end of all details – just
turn up looking beautiful & remember to breath.
So anything she previously told me we had to do on the day I knew not to stress because she would lead me.
The other added service we both appreciated with Coral was
that she took charge of the boat – to get all guests on board & positioned. She doesn’t wait around for this to happen she became part of the SGI team! She introduced herself to my family & made
them also feel very comfortable.
In fact everyone commented what a lovely celebrant we had. How she looked so the part & they felt proud she was marrying us in such an elegant setting.
I can see why she is in such high demand & we are so fortunate to have been able to book her.
I thought you may appreciate the feedback direct from me with regards to voting her the BEST EVER CELEBRANT! J
We will always recommend her in the future.
To dear Coral Kortlepel
We had the most amazing wedding day and a day we will cherish forever.
The day turned out to be the most magical wedding day we ever could have imagined.
We would like to thank you immensely for and absolutely superb service. Our ceremony certainly would not have been as incredible as it were, if we did not have you as
our celebrant. You did the most amazing job, and we will cherish the beautiful ceremony in our hearts forever.
Thank you ever so kindly for being perfect in what you.
We truly loved our ceremony
Your sincerely
Kristie and Andrew Stubbs
Wedding 8th September 2007
Dear Coral
I wanted to write and thank you, on Dave's and my behalf, for making our wedding day so special. Our family and friends who were there with us, all commented
on how beautiful the ceremony was, especially with Yasmin and Ryan being involved.
Your reference folder made designing the ceremony so easy and our visits to your office, with kids in tow, always left us feeling reassured that everything
would run smoothly. Even your suggestion of Lilli Pilli Point Park as a venue couldn't have provided us with a better backdrop for our photos - luckily the sun shone!
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you as a celebrant and, once again, many thanks.
All our love
Fran, Dave, Yasmin & Ryan
Dear Coral
Thank you so much for helping to make our
Wedding Day absolutely perfect. Everyone who
attended commented on how lovely you were
and we whole heartedly agree. We were so fortunate
to find our perfect celebrant.
Thank you, Jeff & Lyn Hayes
Dear Coral,
We have just arrived back in the UK with some
of the most wonderful photographs of our day.
We would like to thank you so much for your
time and effort that went 'above and beyond'
in order that our day be so perfect. All
of the services provided were superb and we
set you a fair task in finding the wonderful
'Aboriginal Didgeridoo player' with just a few
weeks to go, but you came up trumps. Thanks
so much once again for performing the ceremony.I
would highly recommend you for any future wedding.
Kind Regards, Jo and Darren
Hi Coral,
Andy and I would like to say thankyou very
much for being the celebrant at our wedding
on the 19th of December 2004. We had a wonderful
day, enjoyed ourselves and it was made all the
more special that you could be there to formalise
the happy (emotional) occasion with us, as it
will be a day that we treasure always. We would
also like to thankyou for getting up bright
and early to do the ceremony and for all your
assistance and guidance in preparation because
you took the stress away from the organization
process. We have filled out the form for
the ABIA, as requested, and because of
your wonderful service we can see why you have
won best celebrant 5 times, and will always
highly recommend you to others looking for a
celebrant.
Kind Regards
Andy & Trudie Hurt
Dearest Coral,
Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for
helping us make our wedding so beautiful.
Your ceremony was lovely and all of our family
and friends agreed. Your special 'little touches'
were appreciated and we will cherish them
forever. We hope to see you not to far in
the future for another name day.
Love Scott & Toni
Dear Coral,
We just wanted to say thankyou for being such
an important part of our wedding day.We loved
the ceremony and many people commented on
the vows and the incorporation of the traditional
Jewish vows and practices.
It was perfect....thank you !!! and we were
so blessed with the break in the weather.
Thank you again for a wonderful day, we couldnt
be happier...with Love,
Brooke and Glenn Grindlinger
Dear Coral,
Both of us, together with our families would
like to thank you once again for the beautiful
weremony that you created for us on Saturday
22nd January 2005. We truly had the time of
our lives that day and will treasure the memories
in our hearts forever.
Love, Mr and Mrs Cusack!
Hello Coral,
Just thought we'd drop you a line...finally!
We've been home about 3 weeks now and Australia
seems like an eternity away but we do have some
wonderful memories.
We'd just like to thank you all so much. We
had an absolutely fantastic wedding and it really
made the holiday even more wonderful.
The cakes were a real talking point as they
travelled with us all the way. People were amazed
and we got bottles of bubbly and upgrades and
free breakfasts but most of all we couldn't
have wanted for a better wedding...we loved
every minute of it. Hopefully, we'll come back
for an anniversary in the future.
Michael's photo's are fabulous We've had them
all printed off and are going to have one of
them printed larger and put it in a frame we
bought on our travels. We've definitely come
down to earth now, back into normal humdrum
life but the memories of our time out there
and especially in Sydney will keep us going
for a long time. Our parents were absolutely
amazed but really pleased for us. (there
were a few tears) We wouldn't hesitate to recommend
you to anyone wanting to get married out there.
Keep up the good work (but don't work too hard)
and thanks again.
Dawn and Bruce Rollo
Hi Coral,
I hope all is well with you. Gordon and I head
of on our honeymoon tomorrow and I am going
to send you a card when we get back but I just
wanted to drop you a note to say THANK YOU!
We both enjoyed having you as our celebrant
and you are an absolutely beautiful lady. You
helped make the ceremony be extra special with
your calming way. We completed the ABIA voting
form and have sent off - you were very easy
to score (flawless :-) ) take care
Linda and Gordon Tardrew
Hi Coral,
Well we are back in the UK and our holiday
and wedding seem like they were
ages ago! It's taken us so long to get back
into the swing of things here and we are both
still pining for Australia!
Thank-you so much for everything you organised
for the wedding. It really
was perfect and couldn't have gone any better.
The location, weather, music, ceremony, archway...everything
was fantastic! Thanks again for helping to
make our day so perfect. We won't forget it.
John and Vickie Davis.
Hi Coral,
Just a note to say a very big thankyou for our
beautiful wedding ceremony. I have had had so
many people comment to me how lovely and personal
the ceremony was and James and I feel the very
same way. It was the perfect ceremony for us
and you made us feel very calm and comfortable.
With kind regards
Kristy and James Cokayne
Dear Coral:
Thank you for being part of our day and for
making the ceremony so beautiful. Everyone commented
on how touching and genuine they thought the
ceremony was, and even the biggest, burliest
boys had a cry. Without your help and guidance
it wouldn't have been possible. You truly do
love your job and it shows.
Thanks again, With much love Mel, Steve and
Aiden
Hello Coral,
WOW, to say the VERY least. You are an amazing
lady Coral. One word as little as THANKYOU just
doesnt quite capture exactly how thankful we
are that you were our marriage celebrant.You
made a superb day for us to treasure forever
on 11th February and we will be forever grateful
for your kindness and support. From our first
meeting as a newly engaged couple, things were
a little daunting for us but you kept us at
ease which was so nice.Your extremely warm nature
and your cool, calm and collected attitude made
us feel very lucky to have even met you. You
are truely amazing Coral. Just the absolute
best.
Your re-assurances that 'everything will be
just fine' was very much appreciated. I can't
beleive i was nervous that we couldnt have our
final meeting until the Wednesday before our
big day. Looking back, i was hopeless to be
nervous at all with you having everything so
much under control.
Glenn said you did 'over, above and beyond'
what you were asked to do. We couldnt have asked
for a more wonderful wedding ceremony and we
only have you (and the man above for the weather)
to thank for that.We are so happy you made our
ceremony so perfect, just devine it was. Your
booklet of choices of intro's, vows etc were
so great to read. Thankyou for having such lovely
choices to make our selection from. You take
care Coral, you lovely lady. Thankyou thankyou
thankyou so so much. It was an absolute pleasure
to have met you.
All our love from Sheree & Glenn Wilcox.
Dear Coral,
James and I wanted to thank you for marrying
us and being a part of our wedding on the
14th May, 2006. You did such an amazing job
and suggested lovely touches to make our ceremony
unforgettable. The gift giving to Jordan was,
to everyone, the icing on the cake. No one
had seen anything like it before and we know
that people will be talking about it for a
long time to come. All thanks to you.
You impressed everyone and people are still
asking us where we found out about you. Your
words touched them all. You're a beautiful
person Coral and we were thrilled that you
shared in our special day.
Many, Many Thanks, Irene & James Bradden
Hi Coral,
I just wanted to say thank you for marrying
Paul and I on 4th November.
We had such a great time, although the ceremony
is a bit of a blur to us
both, everyone commented on how beautiful
it was-we were even told by
one couple it was the most beautiful wedding
they've seen!
We both had such a great day (despite the
rain!), so thank you for
playing such a special part in our day.
You made us feel so comfortable and as relaxed
as possible.
Thank you again,
Angela and Paul
Dear Coral,
Many thanks for your warmth and wonderful
words on our wedding night, many people commented
on how impressed they were with the words
and the way you spoke them – so many
thank-you’s for making the moment special.
Should any of our friends be tie-ing the
knot in the future, we’ll certainly
be recommending you.
As soon as we have the photo’s (next
couple of weeks – we’ve just returned
from honeymoon) we’ll shoot you through
one or two!
Cheers,
Pippa and Jim.
Dear Coral,
Please see as attached.
This is a picture taken on the day by a guest
at Camellia gardens.
I will send you more when I have some more

you in the photo with Darren and myself!!!
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!!!!
You really made our ceremony at Camellia gardens
so special on Saturday
28TH October 2006 and we really appreciate
it.
We had comments all day about how lovely
the ceremony was.
Thanks Coral and Have a great Xmas and new
year.

Kristy & Darren Suddery.
Dear Coral,
I am sorry I did not manage to find and thank
you on Saturday for the magnificent way you
conducted Mariana and Casey's wedding. Peter
and I want to thank you now. Everything about
the way you led the wedding was just right
- so warm, so calm and so professional. It
was a lovely wedding, we all thought. Many
of the guests commented on finding it an unusually
beautiful ceremony.
Warm regards,
Marysia Green
Dear Coral,
Gareth and I would like to thank you so
much for our beautiful wedding ceremony. I
honestly have never heard such beautiful words,
and the way that you deliver them was amazing.
So many of our guests commented on you and
the way the ceremony was put together.
Our special day wouldn't of been half as
wonderful if it hadn't of been for you. You
made us both feel at ease and the day was
more perfect then we could of hoped for. The
first thing I did when I came back from our
honeymoon was vote for you on the abia website
and we gave you 100 for every category, and
that's being totally honest, you are fantastic!
You are more then welcome to use those photos
and what I wrote about you for your website
or anything else.Take care and hopefully I'll
run into you at another wedding.
Kim
Dear Coral,
On behalf of myself, Lee and Sam, I just wanted
to say thank you so much for the amazing ceremony
you gave us on our wedding day.
So many people (even guys!!) Came up to me
later and commented on how lovely you were
and how perfectly suited the vows were to
us.
Under such miserable weather we had the most
beautiful day ever.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Lots of love,
Jule, Lee and Samuel Miles (my family)
