She took so much time and effort crafting our short, but simple ceremony that people asked us afterwards who she was and had we been friends for along time.

Gabi was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I worked with her…read moreto create a completely custom ceremony, and the end result was more meaningful and personal than we could have ever imagined. She has an incredible ability to take your story, your values, and your relationship and turn it into something that feels authentic and deeply moving... not generic or templated in any way. What really set her apart was how she coached our officiant (who is also a close friend). She made sure he felt confident, prepared, and able to deliver the ceremony in a way that felt natural and heartfelt. It made such a difference in the moment. Our ceremony ended up being one of the most special parts of the entire day, and we owe that to Gabi. If you're looking for something truly personal and beautifully crafted, she's it.

We are beyond grateful for Minister Hayne, who served as both our wedding officiant and…read morephotographer. She truly exceeded our expectations in every possible way. As our officiant, Minister Hayne created a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and beautifully tailored to our story. Her warm, calming presence made the entire experience feel meaningful, genuine, and filled with joy. Many of our guests commented on how touching and well‑delivered the ceremony was. As our photographer, she was just as incredible. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured every important moment with creativity and care. The photos turned out absolutely stunning--full of emotion, detail, and authenticity. We now have a gorgeous collection of memories that we'll cherish forever. Handling both roles seamlessly is no small task, but Minister Hayne did it with grace, professionalism, and passion. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide our ceremony and preserve our most special moments. We highly, highly recommend Minister Hayne to any couple looking for an exceptional officiant, photographer, or--if you're lucky enough--both.

We hired Donna / Honey In The Heart for our private elopement/wedding. Donna Rose Gardner was our…read moreofficiant, 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!

She laid out the process very clearly, and her rates are reasonable, too. She provided an opportunity for us to customize our ceremony and pick passages and readings that were meaningful to us. She helped us have a ceremony that was in line with our personalities and beliefs. We felt strongly about having a secular ceremony, and Donna honored and assembled a thoughtful ceremony reading based on our input. Before the wedding, Donna made time to have a rehearsal with out, which was really helpful. On the wedding day, she showed up on-time and worked with our witnesses to get our license signed. She delivered the ceremony beautifully, and we received several compliments on it. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend Donna.

Their website was impressive and they looked great when my sister first emailed them. They sent her info and a sample budget quick. I sent a follow up email asking if I could have my dog at the aquarium. Simple yes or no answer. I also left a voicemail but no one called back. Here's Lori's response. Hi Cindy, Just wanted to make sure you had a chance to review our menu of fees and services, and to make sure that our entry level of $10,000 is something that can fit into your overall budget before we proceed any further. We are raising or fees for 2013 effective June 1st, so if you believe you are interested in contracting with us, we should plan to meet and finalize that in the next two weeks. Let me know how you'd like to proceed. Thank you, Lori lori hood l wedding consultant Allison Weddings l p/f 831.427.3259 712 capitola avenue l capitola ca 95010 www.allisonweddings.com I guess they only care about their fees ad payment. They don't care to address the original question. Probably better if you meet with them but an answer like this is not cool. I sent a follow up email only to get a more apologetic email and still no answer to my dog question. I had my sister check with the other consultant. She advised we could not have the dog at the aquarium but gave us an alternative solution. It's very disappointing to see that they won't even answer a simple question without confirming I have $10,000 for them.
