What our clients say

"We are so grateful to Fiona for all of the work she put in to create our dream elopement! It was such a pleasure to work with somebody so proactive and responsive, which eliminated any stress from the planning process. We really appreciated Fiona's attention to detail and genuine investment in our own personal journey and creating a special day tailored uniquely for us - we would highly recommend the Kaikoura Elopement Company to anybody looking to create a personalised and romantic ceremony!"

Annalise + Stephen
"Choosing Fiona to guide my husband and I through our wedding was the best choice we could’ve made. She made the planning stages as stress-free as possible, and we were delighted when such a beautiful day unfolded before us. It was the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t have done it without her. We also loved how willing she was to explore any of our suggestions and include some lovely Scottish traditions, making the day even more special for us by having some of my heritage come through. We highly recommend anyone interested in a small event to put their faith in Fiona to bring their dream wedding into reality!"

Rose & Ethan
"We had the most amazing experience with Fiona as our celebrant. Not only was she comforting and organised on the day, but she also took the time to really get to know us so everything felt personalised to suit us. We could not recommend Fiona enough. She made our day even more special than we could have imagined."

Katie + Gareth
"Fiona is friendly, professional but is laid back and makes you feel at ease in her company, she was wonderful. Made herself available prior to our wedding to answer any questions, concerns we may of had. Our guests commented on how wonderful she was. Our only regret is not having enough time to spend with her at our wedding. We both would highly recommend to anyone looking for a celebrant in and around Kaikoura; Don't go past Fiona, you won't regret it! Thanks Fi"

Hilary & Nigel
"So professional yet fun and down to earth, Fiona listened and delivered all our requests and wishes. Highly highly recommend. Friends for life!!!"

Genna + Matt
"Fiona tailored our ceremony perfectly and delivered it in a style that was reflective of our love story. She even helped to calm my husbands nerves before the ceremony! "

Andrea + Jordan
"Thank you Fiona, we loved all of your chosen vendors, they all made our day so easy and stress free.

Selma + Rob
"Easiest 5 star review! Fiona was an awesome celebrant for our wedding. She made us feel comfortable and confident through the whole process. Fiona went above and beyond to ensure our ceremony was a special memory shared amongst friends and family. Would 110% recommend Fiona and Kaikoura Elopement Co."

Bryn & Julia
"Fiona made all of our wedding day dreams come true. We weren't actually the best with communicating at times, and we were pretty broad with what we wanted, but Fi went above and beyond to get to know us and what we're about. In turn she created the most perfect day for us. Everything she had put together couldn't have been more beautiful. We loved our intimate outdoor ceremony. The florals, photographer, hair and make-up were amazing, we couldn't have picked anything more suited to us. And Fi herself is extremely warm and friendly, we felt so comfortable with her as our celebrant. Thanks Fi, you're given our family and friends unforgettable memories."

Tania & Merlin
"Fiona is so laid back and friendly but still ensures your wedding day is exactly how you want it and delivers with professionalism . We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our ceremony reflected us perfectly, we laughed, shed the odd tear and laughed some more. The attention to detail was on point - which is saying something coming from someone with OCD like me! Thank you Fiona for making our day amazing. I wish we could do it all over again 🤍

Robbie & Garry
"We had a perfect day in Kaikoura, Fiona made us feel at ease through the whole process as we were both really nervous especially on the day. Fiona shared our day with us and it was an absolute pleasure...after meeting her the first time we felt we'd made a friend for life x Highly recommended if you are looking to tie the knot in Kaikoura."

Dee & Shannon
"Would highly recommend Fiona, we only gave her 2 weeks to plan our ceremony. She went above and beyond finding us a special spot to have the ceremony, providing our witnesses as we eloped and added extra special touches which related to our heritage. She is a very caring, lovely celebrant"
