Congratulations on your engagement! Now the fun begins. You may ask, 'Where do I start'? I do - Weddings and Makeup Artistry has been created to ensure that your wedding and the lead up will be effortless smooth running, exciting and perfectly gorgeous. As every bride and groom is unique I do offer a personalised, professional and friendly approach to ensure that your special day reflects your personalities, tastes and style. I married my gorgeous French husband in 2007 and we had such a magical day filled with our family, friends and with abundances of love and laughter. After such an amazing day I wanted to help other couples experience the magic of it all. Hence I Do- Weddings and Makeup Artistry.

I will listen to your ideas and work with you to transform them into a magical day for you. I work closely with a range of professional and reliable specialists that the Coromandel has to offer. Photographers, florists, caterers, marriage celebrants, hairdressers and venues. First initial consult is free of charge and takes about 1 hour, we discuss your dreams for your big day over coffee. Then I will provide you with a quote depending on what you require. I offer an hourly rate to suit your needs and there are no hidden costs to you. I can even organise appointments for you and drive you around so you can see what each of the venues offer.

Makeup Artistry I have always had a passion for makeup; I have spent many years dabbling with makeup, starting at an early age on my Barbie’s! Since moving to Whitianga in 2006, I have specialised in bridal makeup applications. My philosophy is your day should be a completely relaxed and enjoyable day! I offer a mobile service, so I come to your home or hotel so you can relax and enjoy being totally pampered! I can also accompany you, with the photographer, for touch ups to ensure you look perfect for the photo shoot and for that grand entrance to the reception venue.

Hayley was not only an absolutely brilliant makeup artist, she was also so caring and calming on the day. I was so impressed when I was a bridesmaid for a friend of mine that I had to have her for my special day! We had so many compliments about how natural and prefect our makeup was and it lasted all night! Thank you SO much for everything! Thank you Samantha 2011 Thank you for everything, You were amazing, talented and so professional! You made us look and feel gorgeous! You made everything definitely easy. Thank you Lara 2011 Hayley was an absolute godsend. Whilst trying to plan our wedding from Australia. She is so down to earth and easy to deal with, there are not many people that I meet professionally that subsequently I would regard as a friend – Hayley I- Do. Through her help we were able to find the perfect wedding and reception venue and had a day that, despite rain causing a last minute ceremony change – was 100% stress free for us both, all thanks to Hayley! Not only does she know her stuff and have great contacts in the wedding planning side of things, she also did a fabulous job with the girly side of things in the make-up and nails department! Thanks so much Hayley Michelle & Darren Williams March 2011 When a girl dreams of her wedding day she dreams of a beautiful dress, a sexy husband and of course a day without any stress and dramas and without Hayley and her team at I-Do Weddings that dream would not have come true. We decided to get married in Tairua, but we didn’t realize all the work that needed to go into a having destination wedding. From the moment we meet Hayley for coffee we knew that she would be the perfect wedding co-ordinator. Hayley listened to all my ideas took detailed notes and on the day transformed all our dreams and wishes into reality. From the beginning to the end Hayley was there, she remained the calm voice of reason and the smiling person telling me everything would be ok. Hayley without you we would not have enjoyed the most magical day of our lives.... Thank you xx Carla and Ryan March March 2011 "Thank you Hayley. You are amazing. Thank you so much for planning our wedding. We could not have done it without you. You were there when ever we needed you. You are a bundle of knowledge and take all the pressure off. No one should plan a wedding without you! You made planning so stress free and were so fantastic to work with. You were such a huge part of our wedding and it wouldn’t have been the same without you." You are our super hero! Jo and Zane "Hayley is a life saver, just when I thought there was no-one to help she was there. After trying three separate makeup artists, Hayley understood and was able to produce exactly what I was after. Hayley has a wonderful easy going but very professional attitude that made getting ready so calm and enjoyable." Thanks for all your help. Liza Gibbons "We would like to say a huge thank you to Hayley for helping us turn our plans into reality on our wedding day. She was very organised and easily approachable, which made planning a breeze. We were very happy with the service we received and our day would not have been the same without her!" Thanks so much. Kylie and Jared Dutton "Hayley did a totally awesome job on the make up for me and my four bridesmaids. She was very professional in her work and also keep us all happy and relaxed as we prepared for the big day! Hayley also helped with the planning of our big day, she was totally organised and she was a huge part of how smoothly the day ran!" Cheers! Bex "Wow! Thank you Hayley, I looked amazing, you did exactly what I wanted, it was great having you with me on the day to keep me calm. You made me feel like a princess!" Kim Powers
