Reviews

So far, I have been blessed with more than 100 couples who have chosen me to celebrate their love & officiate their marriage.

Since becoming a Celebrant in 2014, I have also been a full-time mum to my two little ones - Beau and Georgie. This has meant that I’ve been selective with my bookings - making sure to only book those people that I truly connect with, in order to honour their story to the best of my ability. With pride, I can share some wonderful testimonials, from couples who were as grateful to have crossed my path as I am of theirs.

If you book me as your Celebrant, you can rest assured that I will take the time to get to know you - as individuals, as well as a couple - and I will create a moment in your lives you will forever cherish between you.

These are just some of the reviews I have kindly received.

With endless gratitude,

“If you're lucky enough to have the chance to book Hayley - take it! She is the most wonderful celebrant and such a warm, kind and organised person. She did everything she could to make our day a perfect reflection of us. Thank you Hayley!”

— Nicole & Sam

“There are not enough words that I can eloquently string together, as you so expertly do, to say how truly wonderful you were on our wedding day and how grateful we were to have you... You are a one of a kind woman with a gorgeous soul.”

— Tara & Andrew

“Hayley was such an amazing celebrant. She walked us through from start to finish with constant communication and attention. She made what is usually a very stressful process into a calm and well organised one. We never had to chase her for information. All suggestions made by Hayley was spot on. She got to know our personalities well and based our ceremony on us, changing around traditional norms to suit our personalities. The ceremony itself was well executed and even though we were a bundle of nerves, Hayley's calming influence helped make what was to be the best day of our lives. Being two women, Hayley didn't blink an eyelid. We felt comfortable the whole time. Hayley, we can't thank you enough. You were everything we could hope for and more than we could ask for.”

— Abi & Kelly

“Thank you so much Hayley for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. We really loved our ceremony! Not only did you do a great job on our wedding day, you were so lovely to work with leading up to the big event. You really listened to what we wanted and ensured we were happy all the way through, helping make our day so special. We had many guests comment about how good you were and how much they enjoyed the ceremony, so thank you! A day we will never forget.”

— Stef & Mark

“Hayley is the most amazing celebrant…not only in NZ but the WORLD! Our ceremony was incredibly special and captured our love perfectly! It was funny, romantic and so unique! We are constantly getting compliments on it, not only the writing but also the delivery (Hayley’s background in performing makes her stand out above any other celebrant I’ve ever seen). Really don’t know how to thank Hayley enough for helping to create the best day of our lives!”

— Jen & Liam

“Our wedding day was exactly how we imagined it and we can put that down to Hayley. She made the day so carefree for us so we could enjoy it to the fullest without having to worry about the little things. Her enthusiasm from the get go was amazing and she took a genuine interest in our 'love story' which she incorporated into the ceremony. All of our friends and family thought she was a long lost friend of ours because she took the time to get to know us properly. Hayley, we were so lucky to have you as our celebrant on our special day!” 

— Jess & Stu

“Hayley, we want to say a huge THANK YOU for the beautiful words at our ceremony. Everyone commented on how they were lovely and how you captured us in your words. The ceremony was the best part of the whole day! Thank you so much,"

— Claire & Mike.

Hayley was absolutely amazing, she took the time to get to know us and tailored our ceremony to fit us and our personalities. I would recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a celebrant. Couldn't be happier with her service. Thank you Hayley so much for being a part of our amazing day!! You are fantastic.”

— T & S

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Hayley be our celebrant for our wedding. Right from the first meeting we knew we wanted Hayley to be our celebrant as she was so genuine and lovely. During the lead up to the wedding Hayley kept in touch with us and answered any questions we had with quick responses. Hayley captured our love perfectly even had a few witty comments thrown in there which everyone loved. We had so many compliments on how amazing you were. Thank you for playing a huge part in one of the most important days of our lives.”

— Hayley & Sam

“We just want to say thank you so very much for being part of our day. You are truly an angel, you have helped us from the beginning till the end. And thank you for tackling the wild weather with us!! Congratulations on the new member of the family! I have just posted the review, you are simply the best and keep doing what you do because you are so good at it.”

— Kukik & Nick

“Dear Hayley, thank you so much for being a big part of our special day. From the moment that we met you, we instantly knew you were the celebrant for us. We were instantly drawn to your warmth. You are dedicated, cheerful and completely supportive of anything that made the ceremony feel like “us.” You truly put your heart into work you do and we felt you were always willing to go above and beyond for us. We will happily recommend you to others in future because we couldn’t be happier. The words you put together were pure perfection and we will always keep a copy to look back on. What you gifted to us today is truly priceless.”

— E & R

“…..it was also the little touches, like the keepsake vows that were typed up on a vintage typewriter (that we have since framed with a photo of our day), that makes Hayley stand out and her thoughtfulness shine through. We would recommend Hayley, without a doubt!”

— Shannon & Brad

“She was spectacular. A warm, kind and passionate woman, a real art of her craft. In the first few minutes we were sold, she was the one... Hayley is a beautiful soul, and we will forever have a special place for her in our hearts for helping make and sharing in, our magical day. I would absolutely recommend Hayley to anyone in search of a celebrant to make their day more than they could have ever imagined.”

— Michelle & Jason

“Choosing you as our celebrant was the greatest decision we made!! Thanks to you, our love for each other was heard and felt by everyone at our wedding because of the kind and loving words you shared upon us all!!! You clarified the love we had for each other in a way that made our day special and memorable and I’m so thankful for that!!”

— Fono & Sione

“You captured the essence of us perfectly and told our story just as we had imagined. You really went the extra mile, from the messages of support through COVID times, the visit right before the ceremony to calm my nerves, and the beautifully typed vows that we are planning on displaying in our home. We had many comments on how beautiful the ceremony was because of you and Jordan and I really couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to marry us! We will forever remember our special day and from now, we consider you a friend.”

— Emma & Jordan

Oh my goodness. We are absolutely overwhelmed with how perfect our ceremony went, and even for the split second we are not thinking about it we are constantly told by our family and friends just how perfect it was. You have been incredible from start to finish and we don’t even know how to begin to start thanking you.”

— Jess & Laura

“You’ve got love and warmth in your bones!”

— Sue & Phil
