John & Carol 20 September 2021
After searching for sometime looking for a reasonable and professional marriage celebrant to help me celebrate my parents vow renewal, I found Eileen online and I can honestly say she is absolutely AMAZING! Not only did she have constant communication skills between us throughout our whole experience (plus rescheduling dates because of Covid), she was always a phone call/email away to help us.
So all I can honestly say is if you are looking for a celebrant, I can honestly say I would recommend Eileen!!! for her services to anyone.
So THANK YOU for all you have done Eileen, not only I but my parents want to thank you once again, for all your hard work and making my parents day special. Christine Robaina

Enoch & Alycia, Mudgeeraba 26 September 2020
We would like to thank Eileen for making our ceremony so beautiful. It wouldn't have been the same without her. She is so kind and caring and only has your best interests at heart. Eileen is very detail oriented and goes through every single thing with you to make sure you are comfortable with everything for the day. She has so much experience and gave us lots of tips and made recommendations of things we wouldn't have even thought of. Without her help we wouldn't have been able to have such a nice ceremony where we were also able to incorporate my husband's Baha'i requirements of the ceremony. Thanks for making our day so special.

Eileen was just wonderful. Her friendly nature and experience definitely showed from the first visit and my wife and I were so happy we chose her. We had a number of phone calls, emails and visits with Eileen to go through details and she didn't hesitate to give us guidance and ideas along the way. Definitely highly recommended.
Marc & Christine, 25 October 2019
Eileen has been a celebrant for decades. As a wedding DJ, I have seen her style and dedication to making one's "special day" a most memorable one. For my wedding there was never going to be another but Eileen. You cannot go wrong with this lady....she is believable as a celebrant (as a mobile DJ I have seen disappointing services from other Celebrants)...you really do walk away feeling that was an amazing ceremony. Thank you Eileen from Chris & Marc Woolston

Eileen was a brilliant celebrant. She prepared the ceremony step by step and taught us what we need to prepare; she gave us a ceremony at her place and also helped my wife to find an interpreter, very nice and she gave us lots of help and guide during the event as I need to apply partner visa for my wife, thank you! I would strongly suggest my friend to invite Eileen as their celebrant in future
Naming Day for Isabella, 8 July 2018
On Sunday we celebrated our daughters first birthday and naming ceremony with a small gathering at our home.
Eileen provided for us the most thoughtful, warm, personal ceremony which suited our family perfectly and the tone of the day.
Eileen worked with me for months in advance and took our every need into consideration. We were gifted beautiful certificates to commemorate the day and Eileen was patient, professional and made us all feel at ease while we all rushed to put the finishing touches on things for the ceremony. We would love to sincerely thank Eileen for making Isabella's day so memorable and unique.
Nathan & Phoebe
Paul & Inga, 8 July 2018
Eileen was brilliant. She met with us more than once before the 'big day' and took us through the whole process step by step. It was so easy! She really helps to make the ceremony 'yours' and provided a little 'inspiration' when it was needed. Our day was perfect and it started with the ceremony - thanks Eileen
Scott & Kylie, Kuraby 29 June 2018
Eileen thank you so much for helping Scott and I create our magical day the way we wanted; small, simple and sweet. Having it in your office was beautiful. You are so warm, loving and welcoming. We would highly recommend you. You even made our daughter who was unwell feel comfortable and included in our day.
Again we thank you so so so so much!
Owen & Julie, 5 May 2018,
Fantastic service. Eileen helped us organise the ceremony and our day was so special because we got to choose the ceremony we felt most comfortable with; we used words we felt agreed more to who we are and connect with our families. Eileen even spoke in Spanish for me at the end of the ceremony.
No one else but Eileen could have done such a perfect ceremony; she is a smart sweet woman who knows what she is doing and your wedding will be just beautiful!
Greg & Theresa, 21 April 2018
Thank you so much Eileen. We will always be grateful to you for providing us with the most beautiful and memorable wedding day of our lives and so happy we chose you to be our celebrant.
Right from the first meeting with Eileen, she listened to what we wanted. We felt her warm nature yet professional and well organised attitude within herself and her services. We knew then that Eileen was the marriage celebrant for us.
Eileen's flexibility in letting us choose our vows and poems from her extensive range made it even easier to choose what suited us best for our big day. We had the most romantic and beautiful ceremony we could have ever asked for and it was as though Eileen had known us for years. It was absolutely perfect and all our guests agreed! A huge thank you.
Eileen offered plenty of knowledgeable advice that made it even easier for us to organise our day. Eileen also managed to help organise everyone else for us as well as advising us of details she thought appropriate. Our big day would have been a complete and utter disaster without Eileen because we had to postpone our wedding originally scheduled for October 2017 due to my partner having an accident. And then on our actual wedding day last month, our photographer failed to show up. Eileen found a solution for each of these problems to quickly eliminate our stress and calm the situation. Only a celebrant with such experience and professionalism could have managed to pull this off for us to ensure our wedding day ran as smoothly as it did.
We would highly recommend Eileen and strongly advise others to do themselves a favour and contact her too, so you can have the pleasure of experiencing such a well organised professional marriage celebrant who will make your day memorable. "5 Stars plus"
Carmel & Darren
Darren and I have been truly blessed to have you as our celebrant on our special day. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support, advice, professionalism and help you have given us leading up to our wedding and on the big day. You instilled confidence in us with your superior services and we will not hesitate in recommending you for future occasions. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable and enjoyable.
Chris & Julie, 4 September 2017,
A big thank you to Eileen for her warm nature and professional service. she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us apply for an extension of time whilst working through all the paperwork. She didn't hesitate in travelling a long distance to the ceremony.
We were very happy with the ceremony and the beautiful words and wishes were heartfelt. We are very grateful for all her help and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Eileen for any wedding ceremony.
Chris & Zarra
Eileen was perfect. Very helpful, beautiful personality. She makes sure you're happy with everything right from the beginning of the process. Wouldn't have had the most perfect day if it wasn't for her. She arrives 30 mins earlier to make sure things are going smoothly. She is the best choice.
100% recommend her services.
Elizabeth & Barry
We selected Eileen Riley as our best wedding supplier because Eileen was very professional and friendly, always keeping in contact before and after our wedding. She made our day very special and wonderful.
Erin & Del
Thank you so much Eileen for being our celebrant at our Wedding on 25 August 2012. You were a pleasure to speak to at all times and were great at helping us organise our wedding ceremony and vows. You are very professional in your approach and a very caring lady. Our guests were highly impressed with how well you presented our wedding ceremony. Eileen we would recommend you to anyone getting married for you to be their celebrant without any hesitation. Thanks again, Erin and Del Mendoza.
Ben & Lisa, 23 September 2012
We celebrated our wedding on the 23 September 2012. We had already visited a few celebrants but Eileen was the right fit for us! She made us feel very relaxed and comfortable and under no pressure to book right then and there like we had experienced elsewhere.
Eileen was always available via email, phone or in person for any questions and never told us what we 'had' to do only what our options were. In the end we had the ceremony that we wanted and will cherish forever.
On the day Eileen did a magnificent job of keeping everyone organised and advising us all of what we needed to do and where we needed to be. I would happily recommend her services to anyone looking for a well organised, professional, and very friendly celebrant!
Jamie & Amanda
Jamie and I were extremely happy with everything you did for us leading up to the wedding and you were excellent on the day. We couldn't have asked for anything more, you were perfect. We would like to thank you very much for being a part of our special day.
Joanne & Simon
Eileen was the loveliest most helpful person we could wish to meet. Eileen went above and beyond her duty as celebrant to make our day perfect.
Jocelyn ~ Baby Naming Ceremony
Thank you very much for being a part of Charlotte's naming day. I will be recommending you to anyone who is looking for a celebrant... you were wonderful!
John & Ruth
Last November my husband John and I got married, for which we owe a great deal of gratitude to Eileen. Without her assistance our wedding would never have eventuated. To say we had a difficult time trying to submit all the correct paper work prior to the wedding was an understatement, but Eileen helped us every step of the way.
The wedding day came; we had the most beautiful ceremony given by Eileen. Every detail was the way we hoped and imagined it to be. Eileen had everything under control, especially us who were a little overwhelmed at the time. Then spent the most amazing day and night celebrating with our families and dearest of friends.
John and I will never forget this day and will always be thankful to Eileen for making it happen.
Julian & Clare
From the moment my husband and I sat down with Eileen to chat about what we wanted from our wedding ceremony, we instantly felt relaxed and knew that the running of the ceremony was going to go smoothly. Eileen always made herself available for any questions that I had no matter how obscure, and ensured that every possible scenario was accounted for, not just for our ceremony but for the entire day.
As expected from the moment I arrived at the venue, Eileen was there making sure we all knew what we needed to do and as a result the ceremony went off without a hitch. I would not hesitate to recommend Eileen to anyone getting married as she made the wedding planning process as easy and as stress free as possible.
Katy & Dermot
We are honoured to have our photo on your website! Thank you once again for being part of our wedding and we would certainly recommend you to our friends when they require your services!
Kristen & Matt
We had little idea of what we actually needed to do in order to be married. Eileen talked us through everything we needed to know and was able to answer all of our questions. On our wedding day, Eileen had everything under control and ensured our ceremony went off without a hitch. Thank you so much!
Kylie & Dale
Thank you so much for making our day so special. We would recommend you in a heart beat.
Matthew & Gemma
We just wanted to say an extra big thank you to Eileen for conducting not only our wedding in 2012 but also most recently, the naming for our little boy Oliver. It as so easy to work with Eileen during our wedding. She was so helpful and was able to support us in making our ceremony exactly the way we hoped it would be. Once we had Ollie, we knew we wanted Eileen to conduct his naming ceremony for us, just to make it that little bit extra special. Once again, Eileen was flexible and had just the right words to say. We would love Eileen to be our celebrant for our other children's naming ceremonies also!
Nick & Ashleigh
We would like to say a big thank you for being part of our special day. Many of our guests commented on your professionalism and kindness before and during the ceremony. You certainly put both Nick and I at ease during a nervous and stressful time!
Phillip & Crystal
My husband Phillip and I want to say a BIG thank you to Eileen Riley for all her services and we very much appreciated all the help she provided to us over these past few months.
Eileen Riley was the first person my husband and I chose to meet with in regards to looking for a Marriage Celebrant and because of how reassuring and comforting Eileen was, my husband and I knew straight away that Eileen was who we wanted.
Eileen was very thorough about everything that needed to happen to make our wedding ceremony a success and exactly the way we wanted. Eileen was always happy to help me with any questions and enquiries (and I did have A LOT) I had in regards to our upcoming ceremony.
I would without doubt refer Eileen Riley's services to anyone.
EILEEN RILEY, YOU ARE AN AMAZING CELEBRANT AND GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO!
Thank you
Crystal & Phillip Schuck
Rachael & Lee
We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful job you did for our wedding ceremony. We had so many compliments from our guests about your professional and friendly approach. As you know, the planning of weddings can be quite stressful and we were so thankful to have one aspect of the whole process that was easy and stress free. We thank you so much again for that. We were so happy with how the day went and you were a big part of that.
Rebecca & Brett
We were wanting to let you know how much we appreciated you being our celebrant. You were so wonderful and helpful leading up to our big day and played a big part in making our wedding day as perfect as it was. Both our parents and numerous guests commented on the fantastic job you did at the ceremony.
Brett and I will be more then pleased to pass on your details to any other couples in need of a great celebrant and lucky enough to find each other as we did. Best wishes and our most sincere thanks.
Rhys & Sheree
Thank you for playing a big part in the most important part of our special day. It was a pleasure meeting you and having you as our Celebrant. Our day couldn't have been more perfect, although there was much stress prior to the big day we now know it was all worth it to be the happiest newly married couple around. You made sure everything went according to plan and I would recommend you in a heartbeat to any of our friends and family that wish to get married in the future. A BIG THANK YOU once again for everything. Eileen you were amazing!
Robert & Anthea, Melbourne
The most important thing when choosing a celebrant is that you are both comfortable with the person you choose. Right from the outset, we knew that Eileen was the right celebrant for us; she is warm and engaging, she listens carefully and provides considered advice. We needed someone who would give us the confidence that all would be well as we were organising everything from Melbourne for our wedding in Brisbane. Eileen proved to be just what we needed - always ready to offer advice, prompt us when needed and reassure us as the day approached.
Eileen was fabulously well organised and her warm but authoritative delivery was just the balance we wanted. So many of our guests complimented us on our choice of celebrant. We wholeheartedly recommend Eileen Riley as a warm, engaging celebrant and consummate professional.
Tina & Lee
All I can say is that I could not have asked for a better celebrant. A+ for her in every way. She made the ceremony special and had a beautiful clear voice. She made me feel so relaxed and everyone liked her. She delivered just what we wanted. I can’t say enough how Eileen made the day special. She even changed the ceremony around for me moments before the start without a break in stride. All I can say is AAA+++.
