“Bonnie was such a precious asset for our wedding! She has a reassuring and calming presence that many of our guests noticed and this proved to be a great quality in times of stressful preparation and last minute changes. She perfectly captured our emotions and love when telling our story during the ceremony. Easy to talk to and very patient we were really happy to have her on board with our unorthodox choices! I cannot recommend her enough for the quality of her work and her beautiful presence. Merci x”

Bonnie was our only choice for a celebrant. We didn't even look further when we got engaged. Why? Because she's the most amazing gentle friend we have and we just had to have her as an asset for our day. Bonnie was just a message away when we needed her and we had multiple meetings to discuss our elopement. Bonnie incorporated Te Reo into our ceremony which was just perfect. The korowai ceremony at the end was amazing, we let her know there was going to be the family korowai here from up North for the occasion which was only a day prior notice - it wasnt a problem for Bonnie, she was able to add the extra part in. We were super impressed with the Te Reo she spoke. The best part was that Bonnie was our celebrant on a public holiday other celebrants weren't available on - Christmas day. This was extra special. After the ceremony Bonnie gave us a lovely document folder which had our ceremony write up and vows printed out which was such a lovely touch. Bonnie attended our reception party which we had a couple weeks later and stood up to give a very touching speech, not only as a friend but as our celebrant. Was the best day and thank you so much Bonnie - you made our vision a reality. The day was perfect x”

Thank you so much Bonnie for being such a wonderful celebrant! We had such a beautiful ceremony thanks to you! We couldn’t thank you more for all you’ve done for us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You gave us such a beautiful ceremony to remember.”

"Bonnie was the perfect fit for us. Bonnie is personable, has a good sense of humour and is just lovely. She gave us a lot of examples to consider for our service, which also included parts of the ceremony we didn't even think about. So with a mixture of what we wanted for our service and some suggestions we adopted from Bonnie, we had the most amazing wedding service. Quite a few of our guests commented to us both how perfect Bonnie was for our service and what a wonderful job she had done and we totally agree.My now husband and I are both in our 50s and having a younger celebrant definitely brought a different energy to the room. It was uplifting, wonderful and just a real magical event. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bonnie as a marriage celebrant and we wish her all the very best for the future”.

“Bonnie was our celebrant for our wedding, she was fantastic! She helped us make sure we had the right things organized. She had a few prior meetings with us to get a real idea on us as a couple and our story, so we could add that into the ceremony. Above that she took a rehearsal for us at the venue to help everyone know where to be, stand and to get the music right - and all this went perfect on our day thanks to Bonnie!”
