 Hi Elaine,
Thank you so very much for everything, we had a wonderful time and the ceremony was perfect. It would not be the same if you weren't part of such a special occasion.
Everything throughout the day was perfect. We had such a great time and were extraordinarily relaxed.
Thank you so much and all our love,

Emma and Mark,  Cabarita Park, 28th September, 2013

Hi Elaine
Thanks you for a lovely ceremony, it was very well delivered and we were very proud to have you as our celebrant.
Thanks again, Brian and Cindy, Little Bay Chapel, 21st September, 2013

Hi Elaine,
Thank you so much for being our celebrant!  The ceremony was actually our favourite part of the day - it turned out so lovely and we loved that it wasn't too overly formal, it was nice and casual and relaxed with a lot of laughs!

We received our certificate of marriage the other day!  It came quite quickly!  Thank you for arranging everything for us, it definitely took the stress out of it all knowing that you had it all under control :) And that is good to hear that we were easy to work with - we didn’t really know much about what to do in the beginning (and maybe even right up to the rehearsal - which was very helpful btw!) so you were definitely our helping hand and taught us lots of new things!
Thank you again from both Andrew & I, and we will be sure to recommend to you any friends getting married in the future :)Cheers, Deb and Andrew
Wendy’s Secret Garden, Lavender Bay, 14th September, 2013

Hi Elaine, a big "thank you" for the lovely ceremony last Saturday afternoon at the Secret Garden Lavender Bay. I am father of the bride, Debra McArthur who married Andrew Henderson. You brought dignity as well as humour to our special day and your being in photos means we have a lasting memory of the "official" side of the ceremony, if I may put it that way! Also having a rehearsal on the Friday was commendable, it allowed us to relax when the real ceremony took place. Good luck in your future, if possible we shall recommend you to others.
Regards, Barrie McArthur. (father of the bride) Wendy’s Garden, Lavender Bay, 14 September, 2013


Dear Elaine,
Thank you for making the ceremony very special, and also thanks for being so understanding about the delays in starting up!We both agree that it was a beautiful ceremony, helped greatly by your patience and calm demeanour. Nothing was too difficult for you and we so appreciate having had you as our celebrant. Pilu and the whole day was just so perfect!
All the best Elaine, With much affection,

Hi Elaine
Thank you so much for being our celebrant and your kind words! I think the ceremony rates as one of my favourite highlights of the day - it was really beautiful and it felt sincere, personal and honest (the way we wanted to be) and a big part of that success is because you conducted it so wonderfully. Many people have commented at how they were moved very close to tears during the ceremony - I guess that is the ultimate compliment :)
Thanks so much once again,

The wedding was just great. We also agree the ceremony was simple yet it was exactly the concept we were after. I am sure you have heard this many times, but we were so caught up in the excitement, moments just sped by and we are very much looking forward to the video to appreciate what happened!
Thank you so much for your help and advice. You very quickly understood what we were after and to offer agreement, support and advice where necessary. 
Rupinder and I will always look back on this period, basically from January, with feelings of complete happiness, obviously because it culminated in our wedding, but also because everything just happened so easily, so simply, without any stress or tension. It was a really serene and beautiful experience throughout. You helped with that!Once again it was an absolute pleasure having you conduct our wedding and we still look back on the day with wonderful memories.
Thank you so much, Warm Regards

This was an email that I was meaning to send over 2 years ago.In May 2008 you married my husband Joel and me, we had a wonderful wedding, it was exactly what we both wanted and you were perfect as our celebrant. We both look back and feel that it was the most amazing night.Thank you for making our wedding such a beautiful, memorable, stress-free event.
Kind regards, Jane Medlin, 16 June 2010

Dear Elaine,
We can’t THANK YOU enough for all your help, advice and finally the beautiful ceremony you gave us on our wedding day!
You were extremely helpful without being pushy, you were patient, happy and approachable when helping us write our ceremony.  You are efficient and organized and (thank god) reminded us of all the things we needed to do!
I guess until the ceremony is in motion, it’s not easy to imagine what it will be like and how it should run.  We are so glad we worked with you and felt so much meaning in our vows on the day.  Your light and pleasant personality was something that most guests mention to us afterwards.  They loved your sense of humour.Please use these words as a recommendation to others.
Thank you! Allison and Beau13th March, 2010  “Dunes Restaurant”  Palm Beach,

Dear Elaine
With a large amount of gratefulness we would like to thank you for being our celebrant at our wedding on 20th February 2010.  Curl Curl beach in the summer, and the company of our family and close friends created a perfect day for us which we will never forget. We were really happy with the ceremony and our day was made all the more perfect by your professionalism, your preparation and your support.
We will be celebrating 20th February 2010 in the years to come with fond memories and on the anniversary of this day we will also remember you.
Once again thankyou Elaine

Dear Elaine
Our wedding certificate arrived safely, thanks.  I bet not many people have Shark Island on their certificate!
Our friends and family had a lovely day and we went onto a lovely evening at Wolfies.  Our Mums both spoke very highly of you as well and were glad of the opportunity to talk with you. We just wanted to say thank so much for the perfect wedding ceremony. We had an amazing day and know all of our guest did too. Thanks also for all of your effort leading up to the wedding. We thought we’d send you a little snap to add to your collection. Many thanks again!

Hi Elaine
Thanks for fulfilling the role that you did Elaine, one of the most important ones really. You were great with the girls, which was important to us. Everyone has commented on the ceremony with most saying they shed a tear, which means I think we all got the mix right and everything was appropriate in including the family celebration components. Thanks again for helping make the day so special, we are both very proud of our girls as well as each other, and are looking forward this next chapter of our lives together.
Cheers,  Greg and Jenni

Dear Elaine,
Heather and I want to say a bit THANK YOU for a wonderful ceremony.  The weather at Palm Beach was just right, not too hot, not too cold, lovely sea breezes.
It will be a day to remember.  I don’t think there are many out there with an engagement of 23 years! We wish you all the best and if you do get someone with a longer engagement than 23 years, do drop us a line!
Take care and all our love,
David & Heather          Palm Beach   9 April 2009

Hi Elaine,
Justin and I would like to thank you for your wonderful service at the ceremony and all the help you provided leading up to the day.
You were very helpful even before I booked, flexible approach, accommodating to our needs, professional and good package for the service.
It was an amazing day and with you as celebrant made our day extra special as we felt you really catered for our needs particularly with different cultural and religious backgrounds. You made it flow very smoothly by your introductions. We felt you respected our beliefs.
Family and friends all loved the ceremony and thought it was beautifully conducted.
 We were blessed with great weather and the whole day was so special. Thank you once again.

Dear Elaine,
We were ever so happy with the ceremony, it could not have been more beautiful or special! Your guidance and help made it possible for us to create a ceremony that fulfilled all our ideas and hopes about how we wanted the ceremony to be. You conducted the ceremony itself with such care, professionalism and genuine engagement with everyone present.
Thank you for your  pre-ceremony communication. You always kept us on track with the pre-wedding planning and were always very friendly and communicative whilst organising the ceremony
Definitely, we could not have asked for anything more! Not only was everything perfectly organised, you were also very helpful after the ceremony when we had questions, and we really appreciated that too.We were very happy with all aspects of your service.Thank you very much for making our wedding so beautiful.
Many family and friends mentioned that it had been the most beautiful and special ceremony that they had ever been to. 
We would definitely recommend you to others.

When we met Elaine after speaking to four celebrants, we knew she was the lady we could visualise marrying us, she just fitted the idea we had in our heads. Elaine adapted to suggestions quickly, going away and working on different wordings for us so in the end we got the ceremony that represented our feelings about marriage and each other. Thanks for working with us with the last minute changes. It was much appreciated.

Dear Elaine,
"I've known Elaine for years; she was my high school English teacher. More recently (mid 2008) Elaine was my Marriage Celebrant. She has great knowledge of the marriage process and as such was invaluable to my wife and I. Elaine crafted a brilliant ceremony which included readings she suggested and a creatively placed duet by my father and friend. As Elaine prepared all legal documents, registered our marriage, etc. in a timely manner, my wife and I had a stress free wedding.
Thank you again Elaine!

Hi Elaine,
We would really like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you for being part of our special day and the ceremony that you put together for us was beautiful and summed up everything that we wanted to say.  The rest of the day was fantastic and the small group of family that was able to share the day with us all said they had a good time...we were so glad the weather played it's part on the day also since that week had been like typical Wellington weather.
Any questions or suggestions that we had, you were always easy to talk to and you made us both feel at ease at such an important time in our lives. A big thank you for writing such a beautiful ceremony especially for us, and for your friendliness and warm heartedness, as it really did make our day special. All the best Elaine,

Megan and Hohepa, October 2008
Elaine,
Good morning from both all of us.  Thank you so much for your kind words and the beautiful, beautiful ceremony which you officiated for us.  It was just the most beautiful day and your grace and warmth came through.  We really enjoyed it!  I kept nudging Ray as he was not listening to the song! He wanted to chat with me! Jillian Leifoff was our photographer and we would love to have some of our photos on your site, very honoured! 
What was such a lovely touch was the ceremony which we found, printed out from you on that gorgeous paper, what a great keepsake.
We actually wanted to ask you to stay for dinner but you had gone already!Thanks again Elaine, still on a high, can't believe we are married!
Many greetings... now we are off to Samoa for 1 week. Will be in touch once back...
with warm greetings,
Mona and Ray

Hi Elaine
We  thought your service "outstanding" and cannot think of anything more  you could have done.  Your website is very helpful with suggestions 
for caters etc (FYI we were very pleased with Avocado catering and  Romeo's for decorating.  The food was delicious and the staff very  pleasant) and the wide variety of possible ceremonies that you  provided to us meant we were able to identify a format that suited us  perfectly.  Your suggestion to extend the celebration with the sand  ceremony (of others you suggested) added enormously to the pleasure of  the ceremony and was enjoyed by all who attended.  We have already 
given you a glowing recommendation to a couple planning to marry in  December - I hope they have followed through.Attached are a few pictures from the wedding.  Please feel free to use  them if you wish.
Once again, many thanks
Warm regards
Kate and Paul.
Hi Elaine

Hi Elaine
Thank you for conducting our wedding last Sunday.  It was just perfect!  We both enjoyed the ceremony and we thought you organised things extremely well.  Thank you for your assistance and advice leading up to the day, it was a pleasure to deal with you.Kind regards, Rachel and Otmar

Dear Elaine
 Thank you for helping make our day so special.  We thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end and both felt that it was the happiest day of our lives.  I agree that Meg’s singing brought down the house.  She was absolutely beautiful.  I’m sorry that we didn’t get a chance to thank you properly in person, but we seemed to get swept away with the excitement after the ceremony.
The remainder of the day continued to be as happy, relaxed and special for us all.  Brett gave a very moving speech which once again brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
Thank you once again for everything, Elaine, and we look forward to receiving our registered marriage certificate in a few weeks. We will certainly recommend you without hesitation!
Best regards
Karen and David 4 August 2007

I was very impressed by both your professionalism, your friendliness and communication skills, so if you don't mind I will definitely recommend you to a number of friends of mine who have recently gotten engaged also.
Thank you once again for everything, you have been most helpful and lovely.
All the best
Catherine
  
Hi Elaine,
It was such a pleasure to have you as our celebrant. You are just simply brilliant and led both of us to another stage of our life. Besides saying, "THANK YOU SO MUCH", we really do not know how else we could express our appreciation.  We are heading to honeymoon soon. We will carry your words everywhere.
Love,
Joanna and  Albert
