"Dawn, many thanks from our whole family for working with us to farewell Kevin at his unveiling earlier this year. We appreciated the way that you worked with us to craft a service that reflected Kevin's life, even finding information that we had previously not seen, to include. That we were able to make changes almost up to the last minute, meant that everyone was able to share in the service and have their thoughts reflected. Being able to share the final service with family overseas was also important to us. Arohanui."

"Dawn was our Celebrant for our not so ordinary Halloween theme wedding, and I can do nothing but sing her absolute praises. Not only has she been accepting to our alternative theme, she has been available, supportive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She took our theme and ran with it! Our day could never have been as perfect as it was without her bringing it all together! The ceremony was incredible, one no-one will ever forget! Dawn completely brought our Hallowedding to life, creating a completely custom service where every single detail had a Halloween spin on it. Even to the point she wore a grim reaper cloak! We are forever grateful, Dawn. Thank you SO much! Also, thank you so much for the wee talisman you gave us after the ceremony. The bat detail is perfect and was so thoughtful xxx I couldn't recommend you to others highly enough!"
