Kind Words

The Davie Family Bedfordshire

Donna created a lovely send off for my dad. I can't thank her enough for all of her work, and for the time and care she took in getting to know my dad and our family.

The McNeill Family Gorebridge, Midlothian

We as a family would like to thank you for all your hard work and just simply making a very hard day so beautiful. You were absolutely amazing in every way, from being compassionate, kind and very warming, understanding all my mum's wants and needs for her late husband's final resting place, we truly can’t thank you enough. The McNeill family

Mrs Caldwell Dalkeith

I attended my friend's 'wonderland' garden wedding in Newburgh, Fife. Donna was the celebrant on their special day. She delivered the ceremony with so much warmth and humour. We laughed more than we expected. She made the whole thing feel personal and full of joy. I would fully recommend her.

Claire & Mark Gorebridge, Midlothian

Dear Donna, We just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help, support and kindness during such a difficult time. We are truly grateful for the care and compassion you showed Mark and I, and for the beautiful service you gave our Dad today. Everyone commented on what a beautiful, heartfelt and personal farewell it was. You spoke about him so thoughtfully and respectfully, and helped us create a fitting and meaningful farewell. Your guidance and support made a difficult day a little easier, and we will always appreciate everything you did for us. With heartfelt thanks, Claire & Mark

Julie C Devon

I was at a naming ceremony delivered by Donna. She was spirited, joyous, and confident, immediately establishing an uplifting atmosphere in the room. She brought her script to life and communicating its meaning, emotion, and personality to the people attending the ceremony. Her vocal delivery is a huge strength. She has an assured and expressive speaking voice that is extremely easy to listen to.
