"Eloping at Cradle Mountain was the best decision we ever made, and having Josh as our celebrant made it absolutely perfect. His knowledge of the area helped us find the most magical spot by Dove Lake, and his calm presence made us feel completely at ease despite the changeable mountain weather. Our intimate ceremony felt like it was just us and the wilderness - exactly what we wanted."

"Josh was an amazing celebrant for our Cradle Mountain wedding! His experience with wilderness weddings was evident as he helped us navigate all the logistics of getting married in a national park. Even when it started to rain, Josh knew exactly where to move our ceremony for shelter while still keeping those spectacular mountain views. Our guests are still talking about how personal and special our ceremony felt."
