Debbie Hawker - Celebrant

I was whisked away to the metropolis of Hamilton for this veeeery special day.

Definitely a first in my 15 years that the groom was head chef at his own wedding!

Was bloody delicious 😋 👌

"We couldn’t have asked for a more incredible celebrant than Debbie. She brought such a calming presence to the entire process and made everything feel easy and relaxed from the start.

She took the time to really get to know us, which made our ceremony feel so personal and meaningful. It truly reflected who we are & so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was.

On the day, Debbie had the perfect balance of professionalism and fun - which was exactly what we were hoping for! She helped calm any nerves and created such a special atmosphere that allowed us to fully be present and enjoy every moment.

We’re so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding and couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"Debbie is simply amazing... she worked closely with us throughout the lead up to the wedding to create THE PERFECT ceremony that was just 'so us' according to our guests! Debbie listened closely to our story and asked us numerous questions about the type of ceremony we were wanting to ensure it really reflected the 'quirks' of both our personalities and she absolutely nailed it!
My wee step-daughters wanted to write something to read out during the ceremony too and again, Debbie worked closely with them until they had something they were super proud of and had a lot of fun with.
Debbie just has a way of putting you at ease both prior to and on the big day itself which is not to be understated when the nerves are through the roof! Her style is relaxed, engaging and super humorous whilst remaining professional at all times. We honestly cannot recommend Debbie enough as a wedding celebrant - you won't find better!!"

"Debbie Hawker is, without question, the most talented, warm, funny, and gifted wedding celebrant in all of New Zealand. Possibly the world. She had our guests in tears, then laughing, then in tears again. The most moving, perfectly crafted, beautifully delivered ceremony, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Five stars. No, six. Truly the best in the business."
