We are beyond grateful for Minister Hayne, who served as both our wedding officiant and…read morephotographer. She truly exceeded our expectations in every possible way. As our officiant, Minister Hayne created a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and beautifully tailored to our story. Her warm, calming presence made the entire experience feel meaningful, genuine, and filled with joy. Many of our guests commented on how touching and well‑delivered the ceremony was. As our photographer, she was just as incredible. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured every important moment with creativity and care. The photos turned out absolutely stunning--full of emotion, detail, and authenticity. We now have a gorgeous collection of memories that we'll cherish forever. Handling both roles seamlessly is no small task, but Minister Hayne did it with grace, professionalism, and passion. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide our ceremony and preserve our most special moments. We highly, highly recommend Minister Hayne to any couple looking for an exceptional officiant, photographer, or--if you're lucky enough--both.

She has an incredible ability to take your story, your values, and your relationship and turn it into something that feels authentic and deeply moving... not generic or templated in any way. What really set her apart was how she coached our officiant (who is also a close friend). She made sure he felt confident, prepared, and able to deliver the ceremony in a way that felt natural and heartfelt. It made such a difference in the moment. Our ceremony ended up being one of the most special parts of the entire day, and we owe that to Gabi. If you're looking for something truly personal and beautifully crafted, she's it.

Weddings are an expression of the love and personality of the B&G. Patty works with couples to create events that are uniquely their own. Strategizing, organizing, and working on every last detail. Then she connects her clients with the perfect vendors to make sure their vision comes true. When it counts most (wedding day) with her charming personality yet decisive personality, she executes weddings that flow with grace. As a photographer I have follow up conversations with the B&G after their wedding. The always give Patty the highest praise. Patty makes it happen! Todd Rafalovich

Patty is absolutely amazing and I loved working with her!…read more I'm getting married in October in Carmel and was looking for a wedding planner to help me find wedding vendors, review contracts, and find a location for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Every Last Detail was the first company I called. I'm normally the type of person who calls around to explore options and find the best price, but Patty was so personable and made what felt like a daunting task seem fun so I booked her right away. I'm so glad I went with my gut because I couldn't imagine working with anyone else! Patty was very helpful and responsive. She also went above and beyond for multiple tasks. We live a few hours away from Carmel and wanted to plan a trip to visit some rehearsal dinner locations. We ended up planning this with only a few days turnaround time. I expected given the time crunch that Patty would give us a list of venues to check out based on our criteria, but she actually planned the whole trip for us! She introduced us to points of contact at each venue, scheduled each tour, and even mapped them out so we visited places that were in close proximity back to back and we didn't have to keep trekking back and forth between locations. It took all the stress off of planning and coordinating. I also know that finding spots that we would like was not an easy task in and of itself. My fiance, future mother in law, and myself all had some different/ vague ideas for the event. Patty did a great job finding locations that fit what each of us was looking for. We were so impressed, my future mother in law even hired her again after the fact to coordinate the day of the rehearsal dinner. I would highly recommend Patty and Every Last Detail for event planning!
