"I have known Karlynne for some years (from college days!). Karlynne is a very warm, personable lady, who is well-regarded by those in her fields of expertise.
I heard Karlynne as a celebrant, taking a memorable funeral for a very close relative, some 2 years ago. She handled this with aplomb and poise, not forgetting to bring some funny moments in to the equation, to ease our grieving hearts. A true star, by any means. :-)"

"When we first met Karlynne, we just knew she was the celebrant for us. So kind, friendly and inviting! We had no idea on the whole ceremony process or even what kind of service we wanted. However Karlynne seemed to know us better than we know ourselves. She read our personalities well and picked that we are all about family and cherishing those who care about us and vice versa. She tailored a ceremony plan that fit us, perfectly. We could not imagine a better day. Even our guests were all in awe of Karlynne and the atmosphere she helped us create. We would not have changed a thing about our ceremony. Thanks so much Karlynne :)"

I am proud to be celebrant today of all days I have always believed that Marriage is a basic human right. I look forward to working alongside you in the future to create a Ceremony that is an expression of you and the one you love.

Well firstly I would like to give you a big aroha Karlynne from me and my family for your tremendous service you provided on our special day. I was watching the video and everyone was saying how beautiful and soothing your voice was and how magical it was for me. I really thought I was dreaming and u were the fairy godmother...lol

I was writing a Ceremony and came upon this quote which I haven't seen for a while... its one I believe ...“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.” by Richard Bach
