Especially For You Ceremonies - Taryn Hicks -

Jared Copley

We really loved working with Taryn as our wedding celebrant. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Taryn was a pleasure to work with and bought our vision to life.
Highly recomend as a wedding celebrant.

Taryn is an absolutely amazing celebrant and we're so happy we found her to officiate our marriage. She was born to do this. Her positive vibes, extensive experience and great attitude just made it so much easier for us as we didnt have to worry about how our ceremony was going to turn out. We knew it would be great - she just 'got' us and knew exactly what to suggest to make it suit us.

We had booked Taryn in 2019 and had no doubt things were going to go smoothly with the ceremony. She was great to deal with from the get go. Was very organised and got back to us so quickly with ideas, drafts, clarifying questions and suggestions. She was happy for us to make changes multiple times, adding things here, and adjusting things there. Her sole focus was making sure that we had a great ceremony that suited us to a T, which it did. She added small bits that we hadnt thought about, ordered it in a way that flowed well and kept our guests, and us, laughing but also appreciating what an important time it was for us.

Then of course then came the added stress of Coronavirus, and she stepped it up a notch, being so supportive, checking in that we were ok, even if just offering an ear to listen. Definitely above and beyond what a celebrant would be expected to do!!!

I could not recommend Taryn highly enough and she would make any couple's ceremony great!!!

We cannot thank Taryn enough for being our Celebrant.

She knew her stuff and talked us though from start to finish. Was very professional and easy to work with and understood us on a personal level. Taryn went above and beyond with all her hard work to make our big day a fantastic one. She tailored our ceremony to suit us and was flexible on the ceremony style and structure.

Thank you so much, Taryn, best wedding celebrant in Darwin!

Summary - Professional, great service, punctual, patient and follows up to make sure what you want happens.

We chose Taryn as the celebrant for our backyard ceremony a year out from our wedding. The service, experience and advice she provided us over the year was second to none.

We had 2 meetings with Taryn over this time and she would action what was discussed without delay and it would always include what was requested.

As Taryn has joined many happy couples she had a wealth of ideas and solutions to many of the issues we raised. When designing our wedding she listened to what we wanted and delivered the short ceremony which really involved our guests to make it feel homely and included our children and the children of our guests to make all feel comfortable.

Our 18 month old was mischievous during the ceremony and Taryn really ensured that the show went on without making a big deal out of all the things going on around us! She was the ultimate professional throughout.

Taryn was diligent in ensuring the wedding was filed correctly and promptly another example of her good organisational and time management skills to ensure that our day went smoothly.

There are enough things to worry about when organising a wedding and it was a huge relief that our celebrant did not add to any of that stress. If you choose Taryn you will have a celebrant who will make sure what you want will happen (including reminding the groom to hurry up and write his vows). Can't recommend enough.

Taryn was our celebrant for our 2018 wedding at Dundee Beach. It was a long drive for her to perform our 2 min ceremony, but she did it with enthusiasm and professionalism. Taryn offered so much time towards the planning, all the paperwork was in order, no confusing documents and once we decided to just 'do the legal parts' it was cruisy!
Safe to say that would have been her quickest ceremony - but definitely didn't take anything away from the celebration on the day.
thanks Taryn - hopefully i won't need your services again :). x bec and ryan x

Taryn was amazing! Helped us through the whole entire process. She ensured our ceremony was exactly how we wanted haha short and sweet but still beautiful. She was really easy to give feedback too when we weren't 100% on some things - super open communication which I think is really important when planning such a big occasion. Can't thank her enough 🙂

Our Wedding at the Darwin Sailing Club went through without a hitch and Taryn did a wonderful job of organizing and performing the ceremony.
Would recommend using Especially For You Celebrants for any wedding 🙂

Steve Bowles

Taryn was an amazing celebrant for our Darwin wedding. She made our ceremony exciting and personal and catered absolutely to our needs and wants. Taryn was an excellent communicator and frequently updated us with her progress, her ideas and the things that we as the couple needed to do.

Everything ran very smoothly on the day because of her meticulous planning pre-wedding and her perfect and funny conduct during the ceremony.

Taryn is an absolute professional and very personable and we would recommend her to any couple looking for the perfect celebrant.

Thanks again
