What can we say other than the biggest thank you!! Hazel was amazing from start to finish.
We knew we didn’t want a boring conventional ceremony and Hazel wrote us a service that was personal to us and our story.
She communicated with us every step of the way and ensured that we had the perfect day. She helped to coordinate the arrival of guests and made sure everything was in place for my arrival.
The feedback we got from our guests was amazing, I don’t think many of them had experienced a ceremony quite like ours.
We are so glad we found Hazel she made our wedding everything we wanted it to be and more.
Do not hesitate to book this amazing lady to officiate for you, she is the absolute best! 🌈

Hazel is just exceptional - from our first meeting to discuss our wedding her enthusiasm and clear love for her job shone through. Also she just got us!
The decision to choose Hazel as a our celebrant was one of the easiest choices for the wedding.
The whole process was fun and easy - we loved filling out our quizzes and the ceremony Hazel wrote was beautiful and funny. I didn’t realise how many people were crying on the day until I saw the pictures but I definitely heard the laughter.
On top of all this amazing-ness, Hazel helped coordinate a rowdy bunch for pics ANNNNDDD took our gorgeous pup Daphne for some down time in a quiet part of the venue when she was clearly overwhelmed with the day. It was amazing not to worry about little Daph and just being able to enjoy our day!
She really goes the extra mile! We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hazel again and again!
So many of our guests commented on how great the ceremony was and how unique it was compared to other weddings they had been to.
Everyone loved hearing our story and how we had got to the point of marrying each other! If we could give 100 stars we would!! Thank you Hazel for being bloody awesome!!!

We honestly couldn’t have had a better service from Hazel with managing our arrangements as the celebrant for our wedding day.
We had booked her a few years ago, and when dates changed Hazel was very accommodating and moved our dates with no problem.
Communications were always quick and clear and we felt very at ease for the big day.
Hazel was just brilliant to work with from start to finish, we weren’t really sure what a celebrant was for when we first found out about them, but as soon as we did, we knew that was the right choice for us.
The ceremony was so unique, we’ve had such amazing comments from our friends and family about how it was the most enjoyable ceremony they’ve ever had, because from start to finish it was all about us, our journey, our story and it made it so perfect. We also chose to write our own vows, which was quite a scary prospect, but Hazel helped us through it, gave us hints and tips and lots of support, which really helped.
On the day, she was so calm and prepared, she made us both feel at ease immediately and we just smiled and laughed the whole way through, of course with a few happy tears too! (I’ve even got tears in my eyes writing this now!).
It was just so perfect, I would 100% recommend Hazel to anyone who wants a personal touch to their wedding ceremony, especially if your favourite colour is Rainbow!
Thanks Hazel, we will cherish the memories forever!
Love Rob & Katie Dyson

Hazel is fabulous! We weren’t really sure what sort of ceremony we wanted at all but we knew we didn’t want a boring one.
We had in there laughs, cry’s, doves, shots and lots of Taylor swift references.
We were very unsure of saying our own vows but throughout the whole process Hazel made us feel so comfortable and absolutely no pressure at all we decided to say our own, and this was the best decision.
We made a couple of last minute adjustments and this was no problem at all.
We would 100% recommended Hazel to anybody. Thank you so much for the best ceremony.
SALS & RUSS
Hazel undertook our ceremony last week and it was incredible!
She was there throughout all of the planning bouncing ideas back and forth until we finalised something amazing and unique.
We had such a great time during the whole thing and feel like we also made a friend along the way

KIRSTIE & CHRIS
Hazel is truly one of a kind. Not only is she a ball of contagious rainbow energy and sunshine, she is insanely talented at what she does!
She simply couldn’t have captured us anymore perfectly if she tried. We cried, we laughed and every single one of our guests said it was the BEST ceremony they’d ever been too.
It was a long time coming but she made it so worth the wait.
We cannot thank Hazel enough for creating a ceremony so utterly unique that we will truly treasure forever.
LAURA & MIKE
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our wedding in September.
Full of joy and radiating happiness, Hazel created and delivered such a beautiful ceremony, helping us pick out the best moments from our story to share with our guests.
Prior to the wedding day, Hazel took time to get to know us as a couple and incorporated all the ideas we wanted in our ceremony, the process was entirely stress-free.
On the day itself, our guests told us how wonderful and personal the ceremony was, with many of them saying it made them tear up!
Lots of our guests also thought Hazel was an existing friend, which is real testament to the relationship she built with us, and the warmth she performed our ceremony with.
Hazel is an amazing person and a wonderful celebrant and we would recommend her wholeheartedly for weddings or any other celebrations
ADAM & RACHEL
Hazel is awesome and an absolute no brainer of a decision when planning your wedding day!!
We keep promising this review but is seems strange to review someone we now consider to be our friend and go to dog chat person.
From our first zoom call we knew Hazel was the person we wanted to be there with us on our wedding day.
We aren't the most outgoing of people ourselves but we loved Hazel's energy and having her guide us through our own love story in front of our friends and family was amazing.
Everything couldn't have been easier and Hazel was always there to offer advice and suggestions and encouraged us to bring our beautiful Neko along for the day.
We only met up once before the wedding (mainly so she could have Neko cuddles) but with all the chatting online/emails/zoom etc beforehand it was the best feeling knowing exactly who was going to be there marrying us.
It is clear Hazel is a wonderful person and a brilliant speaker but the words and story she wove from our utter rambles on her very good forms was what completely blew us and our guests away.
We have never been to a ceremony like our own and although standing up there having your secret stories shared in front of everyone is daunting, for us it was exactly what our day was about and no one could have done a better job than Hazel.
Everyone loved the ceremony and most people learnt something new about us and our relationship during it.
Hazel somehow managed to pick out all the most important little memories and moments in our life together so far and truly captured the essence of us as a couple in a way we could never do ourselves and it is our relationship!
She is truly magic!
Our venue didn't have a marriage licence and we could not be more pleased about that now as we didn't really even know about celebrant led ceremonies until then but our ceremony with Hazel was the true start of our married life and we wouldn't have wanted to be waved off on that journey by anyone else.
Hazel was so professional throughout and makes the whole process as easy as possible with the forms etc.
If you want your wedding day to be completely special, bespoke, loving and entertaining led by an amazing person then book Hazel!
We can never thank you enough Hazel for our wonderful ceremony and thanks for sticking around for the food and terrible family chat and jokes!

ANTHONY & HOLLY
True to her name, Hazel brought so much joy and colour to our wedding! The whole process was personal and tailored specifically to our story from start to finish.
Hazel delivered the most beautiful rendition of our love story to our guests, who all commented on how perfect the service was and how she made it about us.
The way Hazel delivered and recounted the story of how we met and the celebration of our two lives coming together was delivered with a sense of charm and a breath of fresh air from 'the usual' ceremonies.
She made both of us cry several times when we read over our ceremony beforehand and encouraged and helped us to write our own personal vows.
We can never thank Hazel enough for being a massive part of our wedding journey and being the favourite part of our day!

Hazel you're a bombshell.
We asked you for weird, we challenged you intensely and you delivered. Our ceremony was funny, personal and emotional - just like us.
Hazel helped Tom (not a man of words!) to write his vows and to express to me things he loves about me, and she helped both of us to explain to everyone a little about our mad world.
Our wedding was "the best wedding we've ever been to!" for so many of our friends and family, and the ceremony is a massive part of that.
Plus, she's a cutiepie and does a little gift for you afterwards with your ceremony/vows booklets inside.
CHELSEA & CONNOR
There will never be enough words to describe how amazing Hazel is. She made our ceremony so special and exceeded all our expectations.
Every single guest we spoke to said that it was so unique and personal and that it was ‘the’ best wedding they have ever been to.
The room was filled with laughter and tears – even the guests that ‘don’t cry’ were crying! Everyone loved the hand fasting and said that it was something they had never seen before.
Hazel calmed our nerves, seeing a friendly face at the end of the aisle was something we both needed.
Once the ceremony was over Hazel didn't rush off, she helped with the photographs, sheltered us from the rain and mingled with our friends and family.
Having a celebrant was the best decision we could have made.
Hazel is a gem - truly one of a kind!!
NADINE & JACK
Hazel was a phenomenal and vital part of our big day, we can't express enough how special she made our ceremony and how grateful we are that we found her to be our celebrant.
We clicked with her easily from the moment we met her over video call and she put so much thought and effort into getting our ceremony right and understanding us as a couple.
On the big day there wasn't a dry eye in the room and she touched our hearts with the way she shared our story and reflected on how we felt about each other.
Not only that but she was also amazing with all our guests, she was attentive and helpful during the day and did everything she could to make sure everything ran smoothly and we were having a good time.
Thank you Hazel we will forever remember our beautiful ceremony

Hazel was absolutely amazing all of the way through the planning process, not just on the day of. No matter how many times I changed my mind, or how many whacky ideas I came up with Hazel didn't care, she just gave me further ideas and suppliers who could help me make that happen.
With regards to the ceremony, it was so personal to me and Tom and all of our guests went through an emotional roller-coaster of tears and laughter. She crafted a beautiful ceremony that really took everyone on our journey with us. And it made the perfect opening to the next chapter of our life together.
Thank you!

Where to start? After booking our venue, we booked Hazel, and we are so thankful we did!
The pandemic hit and we couldn't meet in person but Hazel always made sure to respond to our questions and queries quickly over email and Instagram, she really took the time to listen to any concerns and get to know us properly before drafting our ceremony.
It meant such a lot to us to have a ceremony that told our story, Hazel nailed it. It had everyone in tears and most of our guests have told us how beautiful they thought it was, and that they'd never heard such a personal ceremony.
She was there to help with vows and make sure we were comfortable with how the ceremony would look, we're not natural public speakers so were quite nervous but she put us at ease straight away!
If you're thinking of booking Hazel, then do it!
She's the best money we spent in our wedding, and we'll cherish the memory of our ceremony and vows forever.
❤️ Thank you so much! Bekky & Justin xxxx
ROBYN & TOM
We simply cannot thank Hazel enough for creating the most beautiful ceremony for our wedding day. Literally every single guest cried, laughed and said it was the best ceremony they’ve ever been to - my mum and grandad who both said they don’t cry cried their hearts out!!
Throw a live singer in the mix and boom you’ve got the best ceremony ever 💕 I love how well we got to know Hazel before the day and that she stayed to enjoy drinks with my family and friends afterwards, it made us feel so relaxed right from the moment Hazel arrived on the morning.
Our favourite part was when each guest came up to the front to tie a silk ribbon around our hands as this meant we got to share a special moment with each guest right at the start of the wedding day.
Having a celebrant was truly the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding as it made everything so much more personal and we loved getting all of our guests involved.
Thanks so much Hazel, you really are an absolute legend! 💕

Words cannot even describe how special Hazel made our day. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the verge of having to rearrange our wedding for the 5th time, Hazel came to the rescue and with our photographer and videographer, worked incredibly hard, to make our day so special.
She gathered loads of information and helped us write our vows and then on the day, clambered down a muddy river embankment to deliver the most amazing ceremony next to the water. What she had written was a complete surprise to us and it was beyond amazing.
I nearly cried at one point which is a testament to just how beautiful her words were. We felt incredibly honoured to have Hazel as part of our day and cannot thank her enough for making it so special for us.
Dani & Scott
Thank you so much to Hazel.
She was recommended to us by a friend and so happy we went along with the recommendation as she was really keen to get started to work with us.
Due to getting married in a pandemic we used zoom calls to get to know each other she took the time to help us with our vows and we enjoyed the couples quiz that helped her tell us a story of us both.
She was amazing and so much fun.
We will never forget our elopement and how perfect our day was!
Thank you hazel.
Would highly recommend

It was a pleasure to have you as part of our special day. You created the most beautiful personalised ceremony for us.
Thank you for everything.

After searching far and wide we came across Hazel and were not disappointed, from the very first meeting we had we hit it off straight away.
Having arranged the date 3 years in advance to be hit with restrictions was a tough pill to swallow made so much easier by Hazel's amazing flexibility.
We changed the venue and date 5 times due to government restrictions and lock downs each time was met with a smile and an "its not a problem" from Hazel.
In the end we had a last minute change and even this didn't put Hazel off, Boxing day wasn't a problem and we had the most amazing day possible in the circumstances.
Hazel was in contact every step of the way and went above and beyond in all aspects. the wedding vow cards had been personalised to meet with our theme of Skulls and Roses and our introduction was personalised to perfection.
We can not recommend this lady enough. Thank you again for making our day so special
jayne & paul
Hazel is amazing and made our wedding day extra special.
Leading up to our wedding she was available when we needed her, sometimes just for a bit of reassurance!
When the day arrived I wasn't worried about anything as I knew she would have everything in control.
All my family and friends loved every moment and we're still talking about how personal and intimate it was days later.
We can't thank her enough for making our wedding the best day ever !

We had a 30th Wedding Anniversary vow renewal secretly organised by my lovely husband with Hazel, I was only involved at the end to write vows etc.
Hazel is such a lovely person and was so professional yet really easy to connect with and worked hard to make our day perfect.
I really struggle with being centre of attention so we had a small family ceremony, which is why It was a surprise as my husband knew I would have run a mile if I knew 😘 She took a lot of my anxiety away with how she was with me.
Her words she put together about us and our life were beautifully put together and read.
Plus she helped us with writing our vows, she has a real talent and am sure anyone who uses her will not be disappointed!
Highly recommend.
I’m so glad we did this, such a special day with beautiful memories.
Thank you!!!

What can we say about our recent wedding in Portugal that was blessed by having Sunkissed Ceremonies lead our ceremony and add the most beautiful and personable special touches!
From start to finish Hazel was a true professional and yet engaged with us both on every level - with no amount of detail too much or left uncovered.
Hazel offered suggestions but allowed us to make the day and ceremony completely our own - all our family and friends commented on how beautiful and unique the service was - with so many special touches that created a very personal service.
I would highly recommend this service and Hazel personally and I would also suggest you get booking because I have no doubt her Diary will be booked out very soon!
We would enjoy this day and the service we received from sunkissed over and over again if we could - we are only sad now that's it's over!

What can I say about our Celebrant Hazel??
Planning a wedding in 2020 has been stressful to say the least but we finally got our wedding over the line at the weekend with the help of Hazel.
Throughout the whole process even before pandemic issues she was totally on board with the kind of wedding we wanted and was there anytime I wanted to check on details or ask for advice on anything (even fashion tips lol).
She happily moved dates numerous times for us due to ever changing covid rules and last minute let downs caused by lockdowns.
We wanted a very personal wedding tailored to our very individual needs and Hazel delivered just that. It was perfect and we have already rebooked her to conduct our vow renewal when we can finally have the wedding we originally planned with all our friends and family.
I can honestly say Hazel became more than just my celebrant over the last couple of years that we have been planning our wedding.
I felt so at ease having our ceremony performed by someone I consider a friend rather than just a wedding vendor.
If you are looking for a bespoke and personalised wedding rather than just the run of the mill service I honestly cannot recommend Sunkissed Ceremonies highly enough!

I'm absolutely delighted with Hazel and what she did for me and my wife when we had a vows renewed in June
Hazel is a breath of fresh air and makes everyone feel at ease, she has a lovely temperament and brings a smile to your face, she methodically gathered information on myself and my wife and made a moving and funny speech which fitted perfectly with our day.
I recommend her 1 million percent.
