"I have known June my whole life so
when it came time to get married I turned to her for advice about
our Ceremony. I very quickly realised that she was, in fact, the
only choice for a Celebrant as she clearly demonstrated knowledge,
tactfulness and care when dealing with the complexities of our
extended family. Over the period of time leading up to the Big Day
we conversed regularly with June and she quickly added her special
touches to our pending union with humour, grace and understanding.
One of June’s greatest gifts is her easygoing manner and affability
and on the day she mingled with family she had known for decades and
people she had just met like all were old friends or her own family.
The conviction she brings to a ceremony in terms of preparation and
delivery readily reflects the values and ideals of the participants.
She is always open to new ideas or ways of joining two souls
together in the most meaningful way possible for those lucky enough
to invite her to join the proceedings. June was a very special part
of our Special Day and we will always remember her role with a smile
and great fondness for her efforts.
CELESTE and RICHARD
"We were so rapt
with our wedding ceremony! June was able to create a service that
was very personal and reflected our values and our relationship.
Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the
ceremony was. June was completely open to all of our ideas and
contributed her wealth of experience to make these ideas workable.
It was great to have someone we felt so comfortable with to help us
arrange our big day."
NAMINGS
BEN BOLTON
As June had
united my wife and I so beautifully on our Wedding Day she was our
immediate choice for the Naming Day of our baby daughter four years
later. Those attending were a different assortment of family and
friends to those who attended our wedding and once again June came
to the fore in terms of putting together the most wonderful and
joyous occasion for all to share. As my daughter’s Naming Day
reflected the love and wonder my wife and I both feel at having her
with us every day, so June once again reflected the depths of
emotion and humour the day required perfectly in her presence,
presentation and personal level of involvement. I can only say that
June Dryburgh is one of those very gifted celebrants whose empathy
to the everyday life experiences of people allows her to lovingly
and carefully craft her ceremonies to each family’s precise needs.
She is a very special person indeed and those lucky enough to employ
her services will remember their day with great passion for the rest
of their lives."
FUNERALS and MEMORIAL SERVICES
NICKI HANSLOW and KATRINA, DANIELLE and
STEPHANIE FOSTER
"June played a vital role in allowing our family to give our husband and father the funeral service we wanted.
As Allan had a terminal illness June was able to visit us before he died. We were all able to discuss Allan's
thoughts and preferences for the style of service and the music he wished included.
After his death she visited us to confirm the formal details of his life and to finalise our wishes. At the service
June not only spoke eloquently to beautifully reflect Allan's life but also provided support to our friends and family
who were contributing.
We were very happy with the care June provided
as we were able to farewell Allan without worries regarding the
funeral procedures. Feedback from family and friends was that the
service was fitting and memorable."
BOB MUIR

SUSAN HOPKINS
"Thank you so
much for all your wonderful efforts in ensuring my dad's celebration
of his life went so smoothly. We have had lots of beautiful comments
about the service and my brother and I really appreciate your
friendship, warmth and professionalism."
PETER FITZ
"June Dryburgh is a compassionate, thoughtful and skilful celebrant.
She brought comfort and solace to my family at the recent farewell to my father.
He was a difficult man and had been estranged from the family for many years.
In preparing for his funeral many old wounds re-opened.
June Dryburgh spoke to each of the immediate family members and asked them simple
but sensitive questions about his life and their relationship with him.
June turned this into a wonderful eulogy that acknowledged each family member and
enabled us to to express our feelings, to say goodbye and to commence healing.
June is a caring and gifted celebrant."
