We hired Honey In The Heart team for our private elopement/wedding. Donna Rose Gardner was our officiant, and Rebecca Stark was our photographer. Donna was amazing and took care of all the arrangements with Rebecca, so we didn't have to worry about coordinating, it was all handled for us. She checked out various sites until she found the perfect one that was exactly what we had wanted. She made sure we knew the process of getting a license ahead of time, organized the timing of arrival, ceremony, etc. She even dealt with rescheduling us twice due to rain, always with a smile and reassurance for us. Donna also provided many pre-written ceremonies and vows for us to choose from and let us modify them to make them our own. She even made gorgeous little vow booklets with our vows, for us to keep as mementos. Rebecca took stunning photographs, before, during, and after the ceremony. She made sure to get many different poses, candid and staged, and included the ocean view and cliffs that we had requested. We ended up with around 150 high quality photos, and she provided them in a gallery we could share with people, and also downloadable in hi-res for printing and sharing online. Donna and Rebecca helped us achieve exactly the wedding we had hoped for, and left us with keepsakes and photos to look back on forever; I highly recommend them!

We hired Barbara for our non-religious wedding ceremony. She was incredibly communicative, deeply thoughtful, and led us in putting together the perfect ceremony program. Her words were reflective and she spent time getting to know us, and then putting it all together. She has a lovely, calm demeanour, especially on the day when things can feel rather hectic! We had to move our wedding ceremony indoors due to weather at the last minute and she had no issues in adapting to the new circumstances. She gave us a beautiful book with our ceremony notes inside afterwards, and took care of filing our marriage certificate. We could not recommend Barbara Boyd more highly!

We found Rev. Des on line while seeking an officiant who might be able to marry us on short notice. Rev. Des responded to an on-line inquiry within hours and jumped on board with our loosely made plans to get married in ten days time. Rev. Des’ website is transparent - and she offers options even for the simplest of ceremonies. She got to know us through a phone call and e-mails and personalized our wedding perfectly. She even sent text updates along the way. Rev Des is incredibly flexible and great at what she does. We can only speak for the Wiki-Wiki wedding, but highly recommend her.

This was the event we wanted and Robyn made it very easy. We said what we wanted and she made it happen.

Hayne is amazing and great to work with. She is warm, professional and her depth of experience opens doors to opportunities that might not be available to a less experienced service. (We eloped at a Winery that does not host weddings.) She's the whole package - officiant, photographer, very flexible and budget friendly. She offers great resource suggestions which makes planning your special day so much easier. Her photography is exceptional and available on line within 24 hours so you can share, print, etc., while the glow of the day is still fresh. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful officiant on our special day. From the very first meeting, Naomi was warm, approachable, and made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, incorporating our personal story and values into a heartfelt ceremony that was meaningful and beautiful. The ceremony flowed perfectly, and we received countless compliments from our guests about how touching and personal it was. We truly felt that Naomi went above and beyond to make our wedding day memorable. We are so grateful for her guidance and presence, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and truly special officiant. Thank you, Naomi, for helping make our day unforgettable! You were truly the glue and peace of a busy wedding day.

Josepha has worked closely and diligently with us to custom-design and prepare our unique spiritual ceremony that combined wedding traditions of various historical & geographical origins. We've rehearsed with Josie together virtually prior to the wedding and were very overall very pleased with her creativity, dedication and personalized approach. We definitely recommend Josepha Dillon (Josie) as your wedding Officiant (Ceremony master) for a spiritual type of a ceremony.

I honestly cannot recommend Sabrina enough. She started us with this adorable questionnaire, and ended up telling the entire audience the story of how we met from both perspectives. She had the entire audience in tears with the vows she chose.
