Yes — and Hayley can advise on venues she knows to be genuinely welcoming. Many of Selwyn's best same-sex ceremony settings are private properties rather than commercial venues, which sidesteps venue attitude concerns entirely. For couples who want a hired venue, Hayley is happy to share her knowledge of which Selwyn and nearby Canterbury venues have demonstrated genuine inclusion.
Absolutely — Hayley's cultural expertise is available to all couples regardless of orientation. Same-sex couples from diverse backgrounds sometimes choose to incorporate te reo Māori, Pasifika, or other cultural elements as a way of grounding the ceremony in their full identity.
