We had endless compliments and positive feedback about our wedding - especially the ceremony.

Todd and I both want to thank you sincerely for shaping an amazing ceremony for us, the beautiful writing of our story and journey that you shared with our guests, and the beautiful words you wrote for us to conclude the formalities. You really were destined to be a celebrant, that's for sure. Mere words cannot describe our sincere thanks and gratitude for you, your exceptional skills and your significant contribution to our special day.

To us the stresses of a wedding are extremely underrated and rather exhausting for what is meant to be the happiest day of your life (which it was). We thought a surprise wedding was the way forward and would suit our personalities and lifestyle. Even with this casual approach, this was alot more of a task than we anticipated. The first time I spoke to Sarah I hung up and looked at Smit and said "that's us mate, she's perfect'. We both felt Sarah was only too willing to help, in fact she did everything and understood perfectly what we wanted out of our day. Her ability to go with the flow, and the off the cuff whitty humour was outstanding! Also she kept our secret! Looking back there was nothing more we could have asked for from Sarah and we really appreciated the time, effort, humour and thoughtful words she added to our day. Thanks so much xo

"Sarah created such a fun, loving, and caring environment as our celebrant, from the first meeting to discuss the format of our wedding to the moment we were standing at the top of the aisle together. She doesn't just perform her role as a great celebrant, she becomes your friend and shares in your excitement and love for your big day. Sarah takes her role one step further by sharing some personal words of congratulations at the end of the ceremony which rounded it off perfectly, with many tears and big smiles. If you are considering Sarah to be your celebrant, please look no further as you have found the best

We honestly cannot thank you enough for the work you put into our ceremony. Even though we met literally the day before the wedding, we felt at ease planning everything from the other side of the North Island with you as our celebrant! You planned the perfect ceremony that suited the two of us so so well. We have had so many wonderful compliments about our ceremony and the way it was held...all a credit to you. You were always just an email away and you answered any of our questions with ease. You provided us with all the support we needed to write our vows and we loved that you shared in our tears and our laughter on the day. Again, thank you so so much, we will be recommending you to everyone!

Sarah thank you so much for being part of our special day...we loved that you included parts of our life and the journey we went on to get to where we are. The special part at the end that you wrote for us touched our hearts, thank you. We had ALOT of guests and that never phased you. You made our day one to remember, even when I accidently dropped in a swear word during the vows! We were so honoured we could have you be part of our special day...you have watched Dan and I grow together as a couple and we will treasure the memories forever. Thank you so much for everything.

Sarah was everything we could have asked for in a celebrant. She listened to our requests and delivered a ceremony over and above our expectations. We would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend Sarah as your wedding celebrant.

We have also been to weddings as guests where Sarah has been the celebrant so being on both sides of the fence, we can confidently say she is really passionate about her job!

From the first phone call through to the ceremony and after, it was all easy, relaxed and stress free - we both felt comfortable working with Sarah. She was professional and personable, she helped us put into words our feelings and thoughts for our special day and what we wanted to share.

As a couple we are very cruisy with 'go with the flow' personalities. We asked Sarah to be our celebrant as we knew she also shares this similar trait - knowing this made the planning of our day very easy and stress-free. We found Sarah was excellent at summarising us as individuals and tailoring a ceremony style that allowed us the freedom to reflect us.  Our collection of friends within our community all know each other really well and we all know how each other roll, including Sarah. She was able to create a relaxed, comfortable, humorous yet formal atmosphere where everyone was able to leave nerves behind, laugh and enjoy our special day.  With love and thanks for everything Sarah,

Ben and Mandy

Sarah was the celebrant for our wedding ceremony at St Martin's chapel at Iona College, Havelock North.

She made a real effort to get to know us and created a ceremony that reflected us as a couple. We found Sarah helpful and professional, whilst being really down to earth.

We would highly recommend Sarah to couples looking for a wedding celebrant.
