Testimonial

Dorothy’s Funeral

“I want to thank Cheryl for helping to make the celebration of my mum Dot’s life run so smoothly. Her professional yet relaxed attitude made it so easy for us to work together. Mum would have loved her! We held the service at our home, which is unusual. Nothing was a problem for Cheryl, even when the breeze blew through the speakers! 

Thank you so much, Cheryl, for a job well done. Your cheery smile and loving words reflected the Dot that we all knew.”

Jenna and Garrick’s Wedding

“Cheryl was our celebrant for our wedding in November. From the day I contacted her, she was professional and polite and made a process ( that we knew nothing about ) easy and stress-free.

She took the time to meet us at our venue and do a rehearsal of how the ceremony would unfold on our special day, our ceremony was all we could have hoped it to be, and Cheryl ran things beautifully.

My husband and I highly recommend Cheryl as a Celebrant for your magical day. “

Sarsha and Fabrice’s Wedding

“Cheryl was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. We felt comfortable with her from the get-go and found she just ‘fit’ our needs. Our wedding was an intimate and low-key event we organised just 1 week prior. Cheryl was very understanding, warm and adaptable to our needs and situation. She was also organised and communicative. Our friends and family were impressed with how smoothly and beautifully the ceremony ran under Cheryl’s directions. We would recommend her to anyone!”

Narisa and John’s Elopement

“Thanks so much for making our Elopement special, Cheryl. You have made the entire process easy and enjoyable. From our first meeting on Zoom during lockdown until the Big Day. It was amazing having you as our celebrant and our simple ceremony was perfect. Couldn’t be happier!

We’ll be recommending you to others!”

Jasper’s Naming Ceremony

“Cheryl was absolutely wonderful to work with in the planning of our son’s naming ceremony. She helped us plan a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted, suggesting readings and other ideas to make it special and unique. She was completely open to tweaking and rearranging things in the planning stages until we had it absolutely perfect which we really appreciated. 

On the day, Cheryl did an amazing job as our celebrant – she is so warm and welcoming and this really came across. 

We would recommend Cheryl’s celebrant services without hesitation. Thanks Cheryl!”

Anthony and Justin’s Wedding

“We loved having Cheryl as part of our ceremony. From the moment we first spoke to her over a video call, we really liked her energy and quickly felt comfortable with the idea of her, as our celebrant.

Cheryl was enthusiastic about our relationship as a gay couple, and was excited to let our dog to play a role in the ceremony, which was a huge bonus for us. She made all paperwork and formalities as easy as they could possibly be, so we could focus on enjoying the celebration.

We will definitely be recommending Cheryl to friends and family who may be getting married in the future!”

Helen and Llewellyn’s Wedding

“The first time we met Cheryl was just before our wedding ceremony.  Nevertheless she immediately put us at ease, and became part of our intimate group of close friends and family.

She was warm, friendly and very easy to relate to, yet professional and efficient as we received our marriage certificate in just a few days.

Cheryl seemed to have just the right combination of attributes that one could wish for in a celebrant.  Once we got involved with the extended family on Zoom she discretely left, not wishing to break the moment by formally taking her leave which we thought was very considerate.

We would recommend Cheryl as an ideal choice of celebrant.”

Olga and Jule’s Wedding

“Really enjoyed working with Cheryl! We had a small private ceremony at Tawharanui Beach, with a few friends and family members. Cheryl stood out for us because of the excellent organisational skills. From our first meeting on WhatsApp she proved to be well organised, with great time management skills and highly experienced. She knew what she is doing, quickly came up with beautiful words to accompany our ceremony and sand ritual, which made our official part flow smoothly. 

She was one of the few celebrants who was happy to have a first chat via a video. It was very convenient to meet and discuss the details of the ceremony using online means. She was happy to stay in touch using Whatsapp video chat and emails. We discussed the plan of our ceremony online, she always responded promptly, communicated clearly and arrived in time for the ceremony.

She is also a very friendly positive person with a warm smile. It was our big pleasure having her to perform our wedding ceremony!”
