We were getting married within 2 weeks and we finally decided to do it at Carmel Beach (small ceremony with 11 people). I was frantic because I knew this was short notice to get an officiant but Hayne was available and she was amazing! The entire ceremony went smooth and we will definitely remember our wedding day forever! Thank you.

Minister Hayne was great. She was early, prepared, and clearly experienced. She knew the area, how to set the vibe, and how to professionally conduct a ceremony. Would recommend her to anyone eloping in the Santa Cruz area. We were glad to have hired her.

Our experience was amazing! We wanted something quick, informal, but special and that’s what we got. We weren’t very prepared but our small ceremony turned out perfect. We loved it! Highly recommend! She is the perfect person for the job :)

Minister Hayne was absolutely amazing! She is punctual, easy-going, and honestly more than worth every penny for her services. She married us in a beautiful hand-fasting ceremony in the redwoods. She met with us at the site prior to the wedding, met us for the rehearsal day before, provided beautiful props for the day, and her own photography that was of gorgeous quality. Thanks to M. Hayne I had a meaningful non-religious ceremony that was beautiful, perfect, and fun. We cannot thank her enough for our perfect wedding! And for taking gorgeous pictures of it all! Wow we are so fortunate to have Hayne as our officiant.

Details: Wedding • Non-religious (no mention of God) • 51 - 100 guests • Help writing vows will be needed • English • Officiant will be needed at the rehearsal

Hayne was a wonderful part of our wedding. She contacted us multiple times prior to our big day (making sure she knew exactly what we wanted), calmed us down at our rehearsal, met with our guests prior to the ceremony, and brought just the right mix of information about us, humor, and official ceremony content. We were always at ease during the ceremony, and many of our guests expressed to us how much they liked our officiant! I would definitely recommend Hayne.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer the most affordable elopement packages which include photography at no extra fee. I offer military discounts and will work with most budgets. I am flexible with dates, locations, times, and circumstances. I am know for going above and beyond to make your wedding day just as you envision if NOT better!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love to chat by phone or zoom if a face to face meeting isn't possible. I spend a fair amount of time getting to know my couples and their history. I love hearing details of how they met and the proposal! I also gather a lot of info about their preferences and their families to customize the ceremony with a nice balance of emotion and lite humor. Romantic and heartfelt and meaningful ceremonies that will make all your guests feel included. Sometimes I met them at the venue and have a brief rehearsal. The nite before I text a reminder and on the wedding day I reconfirm I'm in route! I arrive usually 30- 45 prior to the ceremony for photos and paperwork. The photo gallery delivered online in a fast turn around time of usually 24 hours
