Lesley Morrison - Marriage Celebrant & Justice of the Peace

We recently had the pleasure of having Lesley as our celebrant for our wedding on the beautiful Cooks Beach. Lesley was not only our celebrant, but wedding coordinator too. She arranged our reception, our particular catering needs, wedding cake, flowers, hair and make up and professional photography from an amazing photographer. We met Lesley roughly a year before the big day and kept in close contact right the way through, she gave us ideas, helped us source accommodation and helped us write vows, she had a genuine interest in us and couldnt do enough for us. The ceremony itself was perfect, everything we had dreamt of and more, romantic, intimate, casual, without the stress. The reception again was stunning with Lesley arranging everything! Lesleys way with people made all the guests feel part of our special day and her warm manner was praised by all. We wouldnt hesitate in recommending Lesley to anyone who is looking for a stress free (well as stress free as a wedding can be!) magical wedding in Cooks Beach, Lesley seems to think its simply all in a days work but she has no idea how amazing she, and the work she does, is. Thanks again Lesley, we wish only good things for you.

(Translated by Google) Lesley married us on 2/22/23 at beautiful Lonely Bay. From the first contact via e-mail to saying goodbye three days after our wedding, we felt that we were in the best of hands with her. She did everything to make this day unforgettable for us. We will always be grateful to her for that. We highly recommend Lesley and her team to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable beach wedding. The only problem: five stars are actually not enough (Original) Lesley hat uns am 22/2/23 an der wunderschnen Lonely Bay getraut. Vom ersten Kontakt via E-Mail bis zum Abschied drei Tage nach unserer Hochzeit fhlten wir uns bei ihr in den besten Hnden. Sie hat alles dafr getan, diesen Tag fr uns unvergesslich zu machen. Fr das werden wir ihr immer dankbar sein. Wir knnen Lesley und ihr Team allen, die von einer unvergesslichen Strandhochzeit trumen, nur empfehlen. Das einzige Problem: Fnf Sterne sind eigentlich noch zu wenig

When we decided to elope, I googled celebrants and elopements. Lesley came up when I narrowed down the search to beaches and intimate. I reached to her and immediately loved her passion and energy. Lesley made the whole process so easy and exciting and only confirmed choosing her was the right move. She took on board everything we were wanting and with the perfect detail made it all happen. Super easy to communicate with and made sure we knew exactly was expected and happening all the way. The day was perfect, the location was perfect, the flowers, photographer, accommodation, hair, and makeup all organised by Lesley and were all spot on!! Our ceremony was beautiful and perfect thanks to Lesley tailoring it to "us" if youre looking for a celebrant elopement or celebration, we highly recommend you reach out to Lesley :)

Last month we had the pleasure of attending my oldest brother's wedding held in the beautiful Whitianga. The pleasure not only due to the fact that my brother was marrying someone whom he loved with his whole heart, as well as she loved him with her whole heart. But due to the fact that Lesley made the entire day effortless. Lesley was probably one of the best organisers I have ever come across. And I only saw her on the day. Working out the amount of plates, cutlery, food, drink, staff, accommodation, through to ensuring the make up people were organised, through to delegating easier tasks to others. Lesley is the 1 person you want if you want the pain taking away, and want someone who is the 'all rounder'. A great person whom we are so glad helped create a wonderful day not only for my brother and sister in law, but everyone who attended. Hands down a 5 star ratng!!
