Testimonials

To give you fair warning... you're about to enter a rabbit hole. I love all my couples and I can't choose between their testimonials, so they're all here! If you work in marketing, you'll probably have kittens over this - I'm sure there's a maximum number rule or something... but I couldn't care less! Happy reading! Trace xxx 

Emily and Mitchell

Had an awesome experience with Tracey as our celebrant - easy to contact in the lead-up to the day, very organised, and did an incredible job of the ceremony itself. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend Tracey. She really is the best of the best. She has got such a big personality and is a very strong communicator. She is such a confident woman and has a very engaging personality. All our guests just loved her, she will make your ceremony magic. Her smile is contagious, and she has a great sense of humor. Super organized and was very helpful with vows and ensuring everything and everyone is in place for the day.

Trace your easy breezy nature, big smile and even bigger laugh, made us both feel entirely comfortable in your presence and we immediately knew after meeting you, that you were going to be the right fit for us. You were so thorough in getting to know us and getting the key details to craft our ceremony. Your suggestions for writing vows, music, confetti, were all great ones, and taken on board! Your ceremony was thoughtful, humourous, light hearted, lovely, inclusive, which captures the entire vibe of our day, which is exactly how we wanted it. It’s clear this is your passion and our photographer (my brother) even commented, “you can tell she REALLY loves what she does!”. We loved being your 40th couple and know that many more will be just as stoked as we were, to have you as our celebrant.

Tracey, what a gem you are. Couldn't ask for a better celebrant. Tracey went above and beyond for us. Everything was sorted, we had nothing to worry about on the day, everything went smoothly. Tracey included te Reo Maori in our ceremony which made it even more special. Tracey made sure our children felt comfortable and involved in every aspect of the wedding. Thank you for everything Tracey.

I knew from the moment we met Tracey that she was right for us! Her warm and welcoming presence made us feel at ease from the get go. She talked us through all the details including the little ones that are often forgotten as we had zero idea what needed to be done. The ceremony she wrote was so perfect and tailored just for us. It was exactly what we wanted! 
Would 12/10 recommend her to everyone!

Tracey was fantastic. She really helped make the day seem less stressful, and went above and beyond to create a reading that was very personalized for us. From the first meeting, to the day of the Wedding, Tracey brought brilliant ideas and a great attitude, and when it came down to the big moment she knocked it out of the park. Both our families loved her and thought she made the ceremony very beautiful. We are extremely thankful that we found Tracey and we can't recommend her enough.

When planning our wedding we knew we wanted someone who would celebrate us and our unique relationship. 

When George and Co suggested Tracey we knew that we had found the perfect celebrant. Although we hadn’t met her long before the wedding our ceremony truly celebrated us and was so genuine. We still hear from our guests how special it was.

Trace is such a lovely person, we highly recommend her for your big day! She makes you feel at ease and helps out with so many aspects. My husband and I are speedway fanatics and she hunted for hours for a racing reading (none existed) so she collected inspiration and wrote one for us, and all I can say in wow, it was so beautiful and so perfect for us. Thank you Trace for making our day such an amazing experience.

Trace was so amazing throughout, from the very first communication, to meetings and the big day – she was just fantastic and felt like a friend we had known forever! We had so many comments about how wonderful Trace was and that the ceremony suited us perfectly. She was so mindful about doing what was right for us and made sure that we were comfortable with everything. We can’t thank Trace enough for all that she did for us, if you need a celebrant look no further than Trace, we would choose her 100 times more!

Tracey was an excellent wedding celebrant who was well organised, had great ideas about stuff we would never even have thought of, and gave a lovely personalised service. She communicated well, was patient and helpful when we were having trouble writing our vows, and we would certainly recommend her to anyone in the future.

We both are so happy that we found Tracey to officiate the first chapter of our Marriage.

Always professional and easy to communicate with and we loved her bubbly and fun personality.

We were one of the many couples rocked by COVID and had to reschedule our ceremony but from day one Tracey made the process so easy and stress free!

Our ceremony was beautifully written and we love that we can treasure our readings and vows forever.

Thank you again Tracey for making our day so special!

Kelsey and Darryl

Trace, you were awesome! 

Prior to the wedding you had great communication with us, brought ideas and suggestions for our wedding, and you also had to deal with me having no idea about a wedding. You made me and Darryl feel so comfortable during the ceremony (as I was so scared prior).

You made our day special and played a massive part in it.

Thank you so much x

Myself and my now husband are so thrilled we were lucky enough to have you as our celebrant, and we would absolutely recommend you anyone getting married. We are so appreciative of all of the work you put into our ceremony, and the beautiful words you wrote and read. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about how great of a job you did! Thank you so much Trace!

From the first conversation we had with Tracey, we knew she was the perfect fit for us!
Her personality is one in a million and she makes you feel as though you’ve known her forever. We were so overwhelmed with what we needed to do but Tracey helped us through the process step by step
Our wedding day was so rainy but Tracey just jumped in and helped me not have a freak out 
The ceremony she wrote for us could not of been more fitting, which made it feel even more personalised and just us! xx

We knew right from our first meeting that we loved Tracey and wanted her as our celebrant. Her bubbly, kind and caring nature came through right away! This was quickly followed by organised and well thought out ceremony prep, where she guided and helped us every step of the way to create the perfect ceremony to suit us. Tracey answered all our questions, gave us fantastic advice and also made sure our children were a part of the day. Thank you for everything Tracey, our day would not have been the same without you!

Tracey was the most amazing celebrant we could have asked for! From start to finish, she made us feel comfortable and listened to. Every zoom catch up was a laugh and she made the process so incredibly easy. The ceremony itself ran so smoothly thanks to her help, it was beautiful. We couldn't recommend Tracey enough!!

Trace was an absolute delight to have as our celebrant! She was so bubbly and fun, we knew immediately she would be a perfect fit for our ceremony. We were not going to do vows and she managed to convince us which was the best decision we made! A beautiful ceremony we will never forget thanks to Trace and her kind words.

Kaci-Lee and Kallum

Wow, where do I start?! 
Tracey did the most amazing job as our wedding celebrant! Right from day 1 her communication was excellent! We had her booked for over a year & a half before our day and during this time she got to know us so well! Our ceremony was perfectly written & personalised to us, she couldn’t have done any better if she tried! Her organisation before the day and her presenting on the day was also no less than perfect! She really did think of every detail to ensure it was a smooth, stress free process for us!
I really could go on and on about our wonderful experience but will just say we couldn’t have chosen a better, more passionate and down to earth person to marry us! 
Tracey, we can’t thank you enough & we will always remember and cherish our special day that you played such a big part of!

Laura and Alex

We knew early on that Tracey was a good fit for us, I’d been following her on socials for a while and her beaming smile and laid-back vibe drew us to her. It was an extra bonus when we figured out that her and Alex actually went to primary school together! Our plans were rather ambitious and very weather dependant, but with her help and flexibility we were able to pull it off and our day was certainly one to remember. Alex and I wanted to keep things short and simple; she listened to exactly what we wanted, the ceremony she wrote for us was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for better. She took the time to get to know us and made our ceremony a perfect mix of the important stuff and personal touches. Tracey, you have such a natural knack for what you do, and we are so pleased you could be part of our elopement adventure. Thank you so much!

Tracey was the absolute best celebrant we could have asked for! She went above and beyond to make our day go smoothly and it was so relaxed that we could properly enjoy it. The anniversary box she suggested just fitted so well our whole wedding theme and was definitely very "us". Couldn't rate you more highly Tracey! Thank you for everything!

Choosing Tracey as our wedding celebrant was the best decision. She was able to know exactly what kind of ceremony we wanted even when we couldn't put it into words, and at the same time she gave us great ideas to make it even more special. Tracey was so organised and really took the stress out of sorting the practical things on the day. Not only did she give us the perfect ceremony on the day, but she left us with some lovely mementos of our ceremony too. Thank you so much Tracey!

From the moment we met Trace it felt like she had been a long-time friend, she has a great sense of humour and is a ray of sunshine at a seriously stressful time (2 months before our wedding).Trace personalised our ceremony so perfectly it’s hard to believe we had only met a couple of times, she incorporated everything that mattered to us including our dogs and even helped with vows. We loved her questionnaire as it made us reminisce on some of the little things you forget about each other in everyday life.
She really thought of everything, the little details all added up and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
We can’t recommend her enough, if we did it all over again, you bet Trace would be the one we would call.

Trace we just want to say the biggest thank you for all of the effort and love you put in to our ceremony. It was definitely a little unconventional but you made it seem as if it was absolutely normal and were so enthusiastic, making us feel like you cared about our day. It felt as thought we had known you for ages! We didn’t allow much time to plan, but you made sure all the details were attended to, asked all the right questions and took care of every little detail.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, you understood what we wanted and were so warm and lovely. We couldn’t have picked a better celebrant for our day, we are so lucky we met you. Thanks Trace for everything.

Everything was just perfect from beginning to end. When we first met you, we knew you would be the perfect person to marry us. You made both of us feel very comfortable from the start and we really appreciate that you were so patient and accommodating. Honestly, we could not have hoped for a better celebrant. Thank you so much, Trace.

Trace is the best! Super easy going and fun and has amazing people skills. Despite only meeting her in person for the first time on our wedding day it was like we'd know her forever. Even though it rained she put on the biggest smile and the coolest gumboots! Would highly recommend!

Trace was the best celebrant we could have asked for. She was easily the best communicator of all our vendors and even though had to postpone our wedding 3 times Trace worked with our ever-changing dates without question. Will and I are super casual, and she made sure the day fitted us.
She saw to it that we were comfortable at every step and came up with a beautifully written
ceremony without much help from us. We didn’t need to question anything on the day as everything went so smoothly as she had outlined what was going to happen in advance. She looked beautiful on the wedding day and blended with our guests flawlessly. She is very professional and has tips and tricks for things you don’t even think about. We highly recommend Trace as she is a star.

Trace was an absolute joy to deal with, easy going and made all details clear and also organised these details so we didn't have to. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, nice, short and sweet.  She even thought of things we didn't think to even think about. We could not recommend Trace enough, to anyone looking for a vibrant celebrant.. she nailed our expectations.

From our very first meeting, Trace made us feel so comfortable, just like we were catching up with a long time friend. She helped us through the process of what we needed to do start to finish, gave us ideas we hadn't thought of and nothing was ever a hassle for her.

Trace, your bubbly personality, witty sense of humour and the way you personalised our ceremony to us perfectly was amazing. Our day ran so smoothly was filled with laughs and happy tears from all.

I will be recommending you to any family or friends who have a wedding coming up.

The ceremony Tracey put together for us was absolutely perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

She is personable, warm, and engaging.

Our ceremony felt like it was led by someone that felt like family.

I am so grateful for her support to help me with my vows, late into the night, knowing well that my husband was going to blow me out of the water with his.

I underestimated the power of a good celebrant. my advice to anyone getting married, is to invest in an incredible celebrant like Tracey.

Tracey was fantastic in helping us shape our ceremony. We first met Tracey online, and within that first call we knew she got our vibe. We really appreciated the material Tracey could provide us to help us write our vows and proclamation. She was super details-oriented and a wonderful speaker on the day.

Trace you were fantastic!

Planning a Manawatu wedding while living in Christchurch meant we weren't able to meet Trace in person until two days before the wedding, but she was an absolute pleasure to communicate with via Zoom and email. Trace listened to us and

understood exactly what we wanted in our ceremony. A ceremony that was short and sweet, while getting to the heart of what it means to love and commit to one and another throughout the ongoing journey of life. Trace adapted perfectly to last minute changes in plans due to weather, and the bride (me!) arriving slightly early at the ceremony. Thank you so much for making our ceremony perfect Trace.

With the world going into lockdown, we decided to bring our wedding forward a week, and five hours after deciding, we married that night. We can't thank you enough Tracey, for being so supportive in conducting our spontaneous wedding, we truly appreciate it. Thank you for being part of our amazing wedding day, we will forever be grateful for the role you played. It was a fantastic and memorable experience throughout the entire process, we knew from the first Skype call with you that we wanted you to be our celebrant. You worked over and above all our expectations to make our dream ceremony happen, always friendly and so passionate in your approach, all the time with warmth and a great smile.

We could not have asked for a more

special person to marry us than you Trace. Not only do you ensure everything is well organised, you think of everything! You go over and above to help the day go smoothly. You excel yourself with your personal touches and ensure the ceremony reflects the couple you are marrying. 

You were born to do this! With your incredibly positive nature, you encourage and build people up effortlessly. We can not thank you enough for all you did in making our day so super special. You are such a beautiful person inside and out.
