I just love being a Marriage celebrant especially when I receive such beautiful letters from past clients.
"A lovely Adelaide Marriage Celebrant married us and her name is Aphrodite Anderson! We didn’t know what to expect when it came to choosing our Adelaide Wedding celebrant, but any expectations were certainly exceeded with Aphrodite. Communication was always warm, open and friendly, and she made all formalities seem simple."

October 22, 2016- I had the privilege of marrying the gorgeous Anastasia and her beloved David at a most elegant but relaxed ceremony at Hendon Studios in Bowden. The bride being half Greek chose me as her Greek Adelaide Celebrant and I was absolutely thrilled to be their Celebrant. They gave me such a wonderful review too...
My husband and I knew from our first meeting that we wanted Aphrodite to conduct our ceremony. She gave us the freedom to personalise our ceremony and vows so that it would truly represent us as a couple. She is someone who loves love and works hard to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
I wish we were getting married again just so that we could work with Aphrodite again.
