"We were married by Karen in Feb 2024 and felt so incredibly blessed to have her with us on our special day. She made everything exceptionally easy and stress-free, the ceremony was the part of the wedding that I knew for absolute certain was going to be lovely and exactly what we wanted. Karen was receptive, attentive and such a calming presence, and from our first meeting with her we knew it was her who we wanted to marry us. Our ceremony was so meaningful and we felt at ease with Karen to guide us. Highly recommend Karen to anyone getting married, we loved having her in such an important role on our day and think of her so fondly.”

"Stayed at this delightful studio apartment for two nights in Autumn. The setting is peaceful; overlooking farmland and gardens, and only a 5 minutes drive from Raglan township. The on site owners had furnished the pristine art decor style studio with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. Cosy, spotless, well equipped, welcoming, with an array of local food items available for breakfast. We have recommended this gem to many of our friends as a great place to go for a relaxing getaway."
