My goal is to make your moment unforgettable. You walk to the altar and see your partner standing there, full of excitement , waiting for you. To begin your (symbolic) joining ceremony together, as planned.
But, what kind of ceremony do you want? Intimate, a large group, do you want me to speak on your behalf, do you want space for your own speech, or do you want a special guest to say something? There are so many different ways.

Simone is a kind and warm hearted individual looking to help couples have a special wedding. Her English is great and you can expect a lovely service. In line with her Dutch roots you can expect your service to be very personal. She will share stories of each of the couple that she has collected from your loved ones. She is incredibly opened minded and willing to be flexible to work around unique ideas the couple has or cultural elements that are to be added. Very happy we went with Simone! apollo32223 March 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simone is the best wedding celebrant and consultant that we could have asked for. She is awesome, very fast and efficient in communication, very knowledgeable, super friendly, and easy to work with. When we decided to get married, we had no idea what to do next. After being referred to her by our wedding planner, Simone immediately connected with us, and we met up. During our first meeting, she gave us all the information we needed for our civil wedding and told us about all steps for official marriage registration. We also did not know how our marriage ceremony would look like with so many guests present at our special moment. We thank Simone for making the process very simple and worry-free for us. For our wedding ceremony, she did all the work in the background without us worrying about anything. She gathered information about us, our close friends, and family members (after asking us for our permission). Then she created a very interesting, subtle, funny, and lovely story about us, our lives, and our journey up to the point where we were standing in front of our guests in our wedding ceremony stage. We were completely relaxed and filled with joy as she read our story to our guests and us. During our wedding reception, Simone was a key person in coordinating with wedding venue and guiding and helping our guests through the Day's planned events and schedule. From the moment we met Simone nine months before our wedding to the point when our wedding reception ended, we knew that we were in good hands. She is extremely professional and experienced in what she loves to do, and it is very visible when you meet her in person. We absolutely recommend Simone and 'Just Say Yes Weddings' if you are looking for an easy and enjoyable wedding celebration. B&K Marleen Vrensen1 March 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simone Schenkelaars is not only an excellent Wedding Celebrant, but she is also a lovely, heartwarming person. Very thoughtful, committed and devoted. She is a gifted love-storyteller and turns your love-story into a truly unique and special ceremony. Whether it be in Dutch, English or Spanish, Simone speaks from the heart to your heart and that makes her one of the best (if not the best) Wedding Celebrant I know.
