Word of mouth, from actual experience, is probably the most trusted and reliable recommendation there is. Below are some recently married couples' impressions - of their day, and the process of creating their ceremony. They have also generously allowed me to use one of their stunning photos (thank you) of their happy day.

Dear Wendy
As you know the ceremony was probably the number 1 part of the whole day for me. It just summed up our lives so far and bound us for the future. That was the moment. And you captured it. You captured it so well and made it everything it needed to be.
We had so many people come up to us to compliment you following the ceremony and for days after the wedding; you made all our friends and family a part of the ceremony, they all felt involved yet it still felt so intimate. You made it fun and captured the essence of who we are. Your excitement, happiness, emotion and support carried us through. It was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have hoped for more. We knew from the very moment that we met you that you were the one for us. I will be recommending you to everyone.

Dear Wendy,
Thank you very much for the card and wonderful ceremony booklet which is a wonderful reminder of how special our day really was! We wanted a ceremony that was very personal and meaningful to us and you very much helped us to create this. Both the resources that you gave us and your guidance along the way were essential in helping us create our ceremony, which we thought was perfect. We have had many compliments about the personal nature of the ceremony itself, as well as the professional and heartfelt manner in which you delivered it. We found you fabulous to deal with in the build up, and on the day you were fantastic - a real calming influence! We will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you and your services to any of our friends who are getting married.
Thank you once again - we are so grateful for all that you did in making our wedding day so fabulous!!
Kindest regards

Dear Wendy
We can’t thank you enough for making our special day one we will never forget.
You are so warm, friendly and have the greatest sense of humour. From the second we met you, we knew you were the one. You worked so closely with us to make sure our day was just perfect. Every detail was covered and you took care of absolutely everything. This made one stress free bride and a very relaxed groom.
The little quips and jokes you worked into the ceremony had everyone laughing and created the light-hearted, fun atmosphere we dreamed of. Everyone said it was the most fun-filled, happy and romantic ceremony they had ever been to. Three months on and people are still talking about it!
Much love, hugs and kisses from

Dear Wendy
We would like to say a big thank you to you, for making our day that extra bit special. From the pre wedding consultations to the day of the wedding, you were helpful, respectful and more importantly allowed us to be true to our personalities. A stunning woman in your own right, your thoughtfulness in every aspect helped bring our wedding dream to life. I would recommend you to everyone and all styles of wedding as I feel you put a lot of effort into understanding a couple as well as accepting the differences of each couple.
I wish you all the best for the future.

Wendy thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding day so very special; it was an absolute pleasure to have you at our ceremony. From go to woe Wendy’s input was amazing! Her resource book which she provided at our first meeting was very helpful, and with the in depth questionnaire she gave us Wendy designed a very personal ceremony for us.
We were thoroughly blown away to receive a beautifully bound copy of our marriage ceremony in the post less than a week after the day. Spectacular service!
Once again Wendy thank you so much, and we would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a professional experience.

Wendy went above and beyond in being able to allow us to design a wedding ceremony that was totally personal and completely individual. She was very professional in her dealings with our whole wedding group and she looked amazing on the day. We held our wedding at Wendy’s amazing property which looks out to Mount Maunganui, the setting was remarked on by most of our wedding attendees. Wendy has just dropped off our Ceremony in a wonderful keepsake binder (which we will treasure)... I would highly highly recommend Wendy to any couple looking to get married who want a professional, flexible, wonderful lady who will look after your ceremony as if it were her own daughter’s.
Thanks so much Wendy

Dear Wendy,
You were a fabulous celebrant! If anyone is looking for a celebrant, Wendy is an excellent choice. We live in Rotorua, but Wendy was our pick over meeting others. She was welcoming, warm, friendly, professional, so organised, and had great ideas. We have had many positive comments back from our guests about Wendy. An excellent pick!

Dear Wendy,
We feel absolutely privileged to have had you as our marriage celebrant. You made such an effort to encapsulate who we are and the uniqueness of our relationship, and put together such personal and meaningful ceremony for us. We, along with our family and friends were staggered at beautiful it was. Humour, spirituality and practicality, all in the right places. You were a calming and reassuring influence throughout our engagement, and especially on our big day. We cannot recommend you highly enough, you are a wonderful person and a very skilled celebrant.

Hi Wendy!
Thank you so much for all the work you put in to our wedding. We really do appreciate it and thought you were amazing. You were an absolute delight to work with and made things so easy and stress free! You thought of so many things that we wouldn't have even known to think about, and the rehearsal was so valuable to making things go well on the day. Everybody else said how great you were too, at the rehearsal, and in making the ceremony run smoothly, keeping it well-balanced between laughs and the more serious stuff.
Glad you liked the present too. Anyway thanks again Wendy, you're the best!

Wendy's professionalism combined with her ability to really get to know us as a couple made for the most amazing ceremony! The way she constructed our ceremony was very personal and it was more than we could ever have imagined! It made our day so very special!! She put so much time and effort into our special day. It felt like it was really 'ours'. Wendy, it truly was an amazing experience and to travel the road into marriage with you was very special. We thank you so much!
