Every wedding is unique and special to me! Allow me to help you turn your dream wedding into a reality, from the redwoods to the sea. I am willing to go the extra mile to provide you with a unique event tailored just for you. I am available for elopements, chapel weddings, civil ceremonies, vow renewals, surprise and impromptu pop-up weddings, theme weddings, and even your own home!
I am always available and willing to travel, and my rates are affordable. You can find my latest wedding posts on Facebook under "Marry Me In Santa Cruz". I have been making couples' wedding dreams come true for over 10 years, and I take great pride in each ceremony.

Minister Hayne was a pleasure to work with! She demonstrated remarkable responsiveness to emails, and exhibited considerable flexibility in crafting an ideal ceremony for us in Monterey. Our guests were enamored with her, and made certain to convey as much. Despite receiving only condensed summaries of our love story through emails and phone conversations, she captured our essence expertly. We appreciate everything!

Responsive, dependable and flexible are just a few of the qualities that Hayne possesses, along with an undeniable level of professionalism. When we held our small destination wedding, with guests coming from multiple states, Hayne was always available to offer guidance and assistance. She even captured some truly remarkable photos on our special day.

Minister Hayne exceeded all expectations! Her punctuality and affable nature made her services more than worth the cost. She led a stunning hand-fasting ceremony among the redwoods and diligently met with us in advance to ensure its success. Her exquisite props and high-quality photography added to the day's beauty. Thanks to Minister Hayne, our non-religious ceremony was both heartwarming and enjoyable. We are forever grateful for her contributions to our flawless wedding, including her stunning photography. We feel blessed to have had her officiate.

Hayne played an outstanding role in our wedding, going the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. She stayed in touch with us on several occasions before the ceremony to clarify our preferences, reassured and composed us during the rehearsal, acquainted herself with our guests before the event, and delivered an incredible blend of personal anecdotes, wit, and formal ceremony elements. As a result, we were completely relaxed during the ceremony, and our guests were impressed with Hayne's performance. We highly recommend her services.
