Stefan Zeelie s amazing during the pre wedding discussion, and set our minds at ease. The ceremony s fantastic, and once again set my mind and my new wife at ease at the start of the ceremony, and the guests all said he did a really great service and words.

Stefan s our marriage officiant - he s really friendly and easy to talk to as well as professional. He made us feel at ease with the marriage license and his ceremony s beautiful and unique to us. Would definitely recommend them.
We used Weddings Galore for all our wedding legalities and they were superb!
They give you the option to draw up an ANC with one of their notaries and they also do all the legal stuff with home affairs on your behalf, so all you have to do is give them the required documents and then collect your marriage certificate after the day.
Jaco s our wedding officiant and he really made our ceremony feel special and intimate whilst also adhering to our requests when it came to his sermon. Our guests raved about him and said that he s one of the best wedding officiants they had listened to.
Highly recommend Weddings Galore - they make all the time-consuming parts of planning a wedding so much easier!

We are so grateful to have had Stefan as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us as a couple, which made our ceremony feel so personal and meaningful. The ceremony itself s everything we could have hoped for an more. So many of our guests commented on how special and heartfelt the service s. We truly could not have asked for a better person to marry us. Would highly recommend.
