I would whole heartedly recommend Hayley. Hayley was the Celebrant at my Father’s Funeral. She was kind and considerate to everyone, highly professional and thoughtful. She worked well with the undertakers and ensured that our wishes were carried out. Hayley made a very sad time a true celebration of my Father’s life, I can’t thank her enough.
I can't recommend Hayley any higher.
From her lovely manner to her professionalism, and everything in between.
She was key to making a very tough time that bit easier and worry free.
Thank you so very much
Hayley had been the celebrant we chose for both my Grandads and Nans funerals. As she made that process as nice as it could have been, we approached her to be the celebrant for our wedding. It was the best decision we made. Our ceremony was the most beautiful experience we could have wished for. All of our guests expressed how unique it was. Hayley sat down with us beforehand and really listened to our vision. When she sent through the ceremony draft for us to read through, we both cried. We couldn't believe how beautifully written it was. On the actual day, it felt so special to have the ceremony the way we had imagined.
We quite often watch our wedding videos back and hearing Hayley conduct our ceremony, will always have a special place in our hearts.
Hayley was and always has been so approachable, professional & friendly. She has such a lovely way with words and we really wouldn't have had our ceremony any other way. Our guests still talk about it almost a year later!
Finding Hayley and asking her to officiate our ceremony was the best decision we made for the entire wedding. Hayley went above and beyond to get to know us. She put together a perfect script which was so personal to us and she made us feel so at ease throughout. Hayley planned our ceremony with so much care and attention. On the wedding day she was phenomenal! She did far more than we ever expected and made our ceremony so special and meaningful. It was lovely to have someone so kind and genuine doing it for us.
The mood was relaxed and there were so many laughs, it was just perfect. Hayely will be in our happy memories of a very special day forever!
