Working with Sean was a delight, from our initial consultation through to the actual ceremony, and his involvement made our special day even more remarkable.

One of the things that stood out to me about Sean was his attention to detail. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and worked with us to create a ceremony that truly reflected our values and personalities. His warmth, humour, and professionalism put us at ease throughout the planning process, and we knew we were in good hands.

Sean is truly passionate about what he does, and it shows in the way he approaches his work. Thank you, Sean, for making our wedding day so special! From Paul & Jess.

We feel very lucky to have had Sean as our wedding celebrant this month. He was exceptional! Not only did we absolutely love him being part of our day but we have received so many compliments and praise about Sean and how he conducted our ceremony from our family and friends. We couldn’t be happier with how our ceremony came together all with Sean’s input both in person and through email.
Sean is funny, knowledgeable and professional. We felt completely at ease from our first meeting with Sean, to the rehearsal and right throughout our ceremony all thanks to his vast experience, his quick wit and organisation.

Sean was spectacular from start to finish. He assisted us every step of the way in planning our wedding from half a world away. We live in Canada and married in New Zealand. He made it so easy and flawless throughout the whole process. On the day of our outdoor wedding he was the rock that kept everyone calm and relaxed as we experienced rain and technical difficulties. We HIGHLY recommend Sean to help make your day extra-special. His professionalism and understanding of "all things wedding" cannot be beat.

Sean was recently our wedding celebrant and what an amazing job he did!!! He made us both feel so relaxed and confident that he knew what he was doing and he totally did. The way he set things up made is easy and built my confidence up re speaking in public. His humor and talk about marriage was perfect. I highly recommend him as a wedding celebrant, he did an outstanding job. Lots of people commented on how fun he was. Well done Sean, you were awesome!!!!!!

Sean is a wonderful celebrant with a delightful sense of humour. We met with Sean when we began planning our wedding and are so grateful for all of his help, thoughtful advice, and pearls of wisdom. We had to change our plans and elope overseas, and we really appreciated Sean's time, patience, and understanding. It was all so very helpful for us when we had so many decisions to make on our wedding planning journey. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sean and we wish him all the very best for the future. 🙂

Sean did everything the reviews below mention and more. He makes his Celebrant job all about you and your partner. He takes the time to meet and chat to you and get to know you so your ceremony reflects the people standing in front of him.

We knew Sean would be great but on the day he had a secret whole other level. He was truly phenomenal. He was funny, exceptionally well prepared. We had people continually telling us afterwards just how great he was.

I can not speak highly enough of Sean as Celebrant to our wedding.
In the lead up to the day every catch up we had made me feel at ease about planning the whole day. He is an absolute gem who made everyone feel at ease on the day and have a laugh along the way.

A full 5 stars for everything to do with Sean. I’ve even had a couple of messages to say that a couple of my friends are going to be using him purely because they saw him at one of THEIR friend’s wedding. I could not be more pleased with how special our day was.

We wanted a celebrant who was relaxed, funny and also serious when needed. Sean Joyce stood out, he was extremely good at communicating with us over in Australia via Skype, phone and email. The wedding day was a dream. He engaged the guests and also helped us along the way. He also made us feel more relaxed.

Sean Joyce was an amazing celebrant! Very easy going and helped keep our very relaxed wedding the way we wanted it. No fuss, no drama. Was just amazing. Would 100% recommend.

Sean was our celebrant in November 2022. He was brilliant! He went over and beyond what we expected. I highly recommend Sean. He was kind, polite, gentle, funny, flexible and understanding. Couldn’t have anyone better to do the job.

Sean is funny, witty, quirky and amazing at what he does. We had the pleasure to have him as our Celebrant at our Wedding and we got lots of lovely comments about him. Everybody loved him and his jokes.

We highly recommend Sean to anyone who lives in Christchurch and wants a great Celebrant.

Thank you so much again for making our day extra special!

Sean was an amazing celebrant! As we came to New Zealand for our wedding, Sean skyped us several times to go through everything and make us feel at ease.

Sean worked with us to create the comfortable, low-key ceremony that we wanted. With all of the changes to our plans through the turbulence of 2020, he supported us the whole way through and we couldn’t be happier with his guidance and professionalism.

As a young couple, with only 8 weeks to plan our wedding and having no idea how weddings work. Sean was brilliant in helping us with all his knowledge and funny stories. Sean was wonderful to work with and helped us feel at ease with everything.

Sean was a wonderful celebrant and perfect for our wedding. His experience, professionalism and knowledge made for a very relaxed planning process. The best touch was how he managed to make everyone feel like part of the ceremony which so many are still commenting on. Thank you Sean for all of the energy you put into our wedding day, it couldn’t have been better!
Jessica and Adrian
All of our guests loved Sean, best wedding they had ever been to!! We met with him twice before our special day, no pressure from him to have things we didn’t want to. Relaxed and fun ceremony, with the “I do’s” thrown in at the right time.
Jacqueline Evans
Sean was amazing and our day was perfect. He made everyone feel welcomed and relaxed. He made everything easy with no pressure, we couldn’t recommend enough.
Jessica Black
Sean was the best person we could possibly have asked for that special day. He was kind, relieve, super helpful and on top of everything super funny. I was late, as a good bride should be, and he accompany my husband all the time while he waited. He is super easy going and positive creating a gorgeous atmosphere. We recommend him to anyone who wants their wedding day to be unique and perfect.
