Arohanui Weddings

Arohanui Weddings, based in New Brighton, Christchurch, is led by marriage and civil union celebrant Hayley L'Huillier. She creates deeply personal ceremonies that reflect each couple's unique story, values, and identities, with genuine expertise in te reo Māori and tikanga.

Hayley warmly welcomes all couples regardless of orientation or identity, offering bespoke wedding ceremonies, civil unions, same-sex weddings, cultural fusion ceremonies, and elopements. She commits to one ceremony per day, ensuring complete attention and no rushing. Every ceremony is custom-crafted—nothing generic—and she handles full legal guidance throughout.

Serving all of Canterbury including Christchurch, Selwyn, Waimakariri, Banks Peninsula, Hurunui, and Ashburton, Hayley brings experience from youth development and alternative education to create ceremonies where couples feel truly heard and celebrated.
