Rosie was brilliant from start to finish. She thought about the minor details, every step of the way and made us feel at ease during our ceremony and also during wedding preparations.

The way she told our love story made it so special for us on our big day. It was so unique and personal which isn’t something we have witnessed at a wedding before ours.

Every one of the guests said how they loved how our ceremony focused on us and only us and we would definitely recommend you to anyone who was thinking of getting married in Cyprus.

Your energy was perfect for our day and we cannot thank you enough for how special you made us feel during our ceremony.

Many thanks

My husband and I were extremely fortunate to have booked Rosie to be our celebrant for our wedding in May 2025.

There are so many positive thing's to say about Rosie.From the beginning, when we had our 1st meeting via WhatsApp we felt instantly at ease with Rosie.

She is incredibly calm, friendly and professional.

We went through our story of how we met with Rosie. She wrote our love story as part of our ceremony. She has an amazing ability to make your love story so personal, like she has known you for years. Even our children felt very comfortable around her.

The ceremony was perfect and it wouldn't have been as special if it wasn't for Rosie and her organisation and attention to detail. Because we were blending two families, we had a hand fasting in our ceremony which included our children.

Rosie was very good with the children, including them in all the important parts on the day.. Our wedding certificate was personalised to u,s and Rosie also made a hand fasting certificate which included our children signing it, making it official for them and they loved being apart of something so special.

Even when we needed help with something that wasn't wedding related, Rosie was there for us. Assisting in anyway she could, big or small.

Rosie truly is an amazing celebrant and human being. We can't thank her enough for making our day so perfect. Book her as your wedding celebrant, you will not be disappointed 🩷

When we decided to get married and have a wedding in North Cyprus, a friend of ours suggested Rosie. We looked at her website and liked what we saw, so we arranged a meeting with her locally. Our original idea was for a small, intimate, Cypriot style wedding in our favourite local bar with a boho feel to it.

We had a long chat with Rosie on that first meeting and kicked around our ideas and she came up with lots of other suggestions like adding a Scottish element, with bagpipes and so our Scottish - Cypriot wedding plan was born, and it just grew from there. The Handfasting element she suggested was a lovely way to bring together our two cultures. But more importantly, Rosie explained what our roles and hers would be. Alison just had to look fabulous, and I just had to tag along with Rosie and be relaxed. She would take on all the stressful stuff, which she did.

She is more than just a celebrant: She is a wedding planner extraordinaire with vision and creativity. She is very organised and always on top of things and gently nudged us when we needed to provide her with something. But, more importantly, she is very interested in people’s stories. She took ours and wrote a really lovely and personalised ‘love story’ for our ceremony. It was beautiful and emotional for us, but also everyone present was visibly moved. She brought that special magic touch to our day.

Working with Rosie was an absolute delight from start to finish. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for her clients shine through in everything she does. Rosie not only conducted a beautiful ceremony for us but also guided us through the wedding planning process with grace and ease. She even designed a bespoke wedding certificate for us that reflected our cultural heritages. Thanks to Rosie, our wedding was everything we had dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for a wedding celebrant and planner who will go above and beyond to create a magical and memorable day, look no further than Rosie. We would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a celebrant as she is simply the best. So go get ‘Rosied’ too.

My father had lived in the TRNC for over 30 years and I wanted his funeral service to be a celebration of his life rather than mourning his passing.

Living over 7,000 Km away was causing me some concern regarding the arrangements of the service, particularly who would conduct it and how would they know what to say.

Rosie was recommended to me as a very competent celebrant. With less than a week to organise the ceremony, she got in touch with me via WhatsApp. We had a lovely informal talk, discussing my late father’s life and friends. After our talk and despite the short time scale and her already busy schedule, Rosie did her own research as well as making some recommendations for music that could be played. She suggested that we also live stream the service for his friends and relatives that would not be able to attend in person.

We communicated several times over the coming days and Rosie also designed an announcement that she then published on the local expat forums to let people know the details of the ceremony.

I actually only first met Rosie on the day of the service, but she had organised everything, coordinated with the British Cemetery Committee, Royal British Legion, music, live streaming, and the service proceeded seamlessly.

These ceremonies can quite often be quite clinical and impersonal but I have to say that with Rosie’s organisation and delivery skills she made it seem that she had known my late father for many years.

As well as specifically mentioning members of his direct family she also included the people who had been taking care of him during the last months of his life. Rosie also asked some of his close friends to give tributes during the service.

The ceremony, music and live stream went without a hitch and meant so much to those that couldn’t attend on the day. It truly was a celebration of his life. Thank you so much Rosie

Review of Rosie Anstey Wedding Celebrant by Teresa Cefa
We had the absolute pleasure of having Rosie as our celebrant for our wedding ceremony at the beautiful Korineum. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about her role, but genuinely committed to creating something truly personal and meaningful.

Rosie took the time to get to know us — not just as a couple, but as individuals — listening carefully to our story, our values, and all the little details that make our relationship unique. She welcomed our input at every stage, and with incredible care and creativity, wove our thoughts into a ceremony that felt completely bespoke.

What she crafted was far more than just a script — it was a heartfelt narrative that captured our journey with warmth, elegance, and authenticity. Her words were thoughtful and beautifully expressed, with just the right balance of emotion and gentle humour. She had our guests both laughing and welling up with tears — completely absorbed in every word.

On the day, Rosie delivered the ceremony with such grace, poise, and genuine warmth. Her presence was both calming and uplifting, and her delivery was absolutely flawless. It felt as though we were being guided through one of the most important moments of our lives by someone who not only understood its significance, but truly cared.

The ceremony Rosie created was the emotional heart of our wedding — moving, joyful, and completely unforgettable. It was everything we had hoped for, and so much more. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side, and we will treasure the memory of that moment for the rest of our lives.

If you’re looking for someone to tell your love story with sincerity, soul, and just the right touch of magic — Rosie is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Just want to say a huge thank you to Rosie for a great job being our celebrant. She took on the role just 8 weeks before our big day despite being very busy, which I really appreciated. She was friendly and took the time to get to know us so that our ceremony would be personal. The words she chose for our love story fitted us perfectly and I’ll never forget how special it felt!

Jason & Nadia / Review of their magical, perfect Wedding
“Thank you, dear Rosie, for making our days so special, both our ceremonies were beautiful in their own way. I’m so glad that we took the opportunity to renew our vows while in Cyprus for our son’s wedding. It was an emotional time for all of us having lost our eldest so recently & yet somehow you were able to alchemise all those mixed emotions into something incredibly beautiful. It was a blessed time. Thank You!”
Love Tracey & Howard
"We got married in May and it was a lovely magical stress-free day. We had Rosie do our service and she listened to what we wanted and made it very personal to us. There was lots of communication and ideas and after some FaceTime and emails we had decided what we wanted to have included. The service was very professional Rosie put us at ease throughout and this made the day itself run smooth and gave us magical memories to cherish. I would highly recommend Rosie her professionalism and personal touches were so valuable. "
