We both cannot thank your wife Marilise and you, Marco, enough for our ceremony. Celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary in such an intimate and emotional way was unforgettable.

The ceremony exceeded our expectations — you went above and beyond to make us feel special. Incorporating Wallisian and Tongan words, the kava ceremony for Polynesian tradition, and the French elements like vow writing was such a beautiful touch. Experiencing this French Polynesian blend here in New Caledonia made us feel deeply connected.

Our ancestors would be proud.

Marco, your English was excellent and made us feel completely comfortable. Having our ceremony at sunset on the beach at the Sheraton Hotel, with the beautiful setup prepared by your wife, overwhelmed us with emotion and love.

Your ukulele playing, and both your voices during the ceremony, made our vow renewal feel truly special. You treated us like royalty, and including our son, Slater Kapelieli, as Best Man — with a special gift — was an incredibly meaningful touch.

We highly recommend Marco and Marilise to anyone planning a wedding or vow renewal in New Caledonia.

The commitment and care you showed was second to none. You traveled more than two hours each way and created a stunning beachfront ceremony that we’ll never forget.

We felt so honored and overwhelmed that we offered more than originally quoted — we just couldn’t thank you enough.

Thank You for Making Our Wedding Perfect Dear Marco, We returned home last night—still feeling the gentle sway of the sea, but much better today! I wanted to share my heartfelt review and recommendations for your services: I wholeheartedly recommend Marco to anyone seeking a celebrant. His service is exceptionally professional and personalized from start to finish. Our wedding was planned during a cruise stopover—a situation where many things could have gone wrong (especially the weather!), but we were lucky. Sailing from Sydney to Nouméa, we used a wedding planner to arrange everything in advance. Our day began with unexpected delays (transportation and planner-related issues—not Marco’s fault). When we finally arrived, my sister went to set up the flowers, only to discover Marco and his wife had already taken care of it. This kindness meant so much to us. Blair and I wanted our children involved, and Marco beautifully adapted the ceremony to accommodate their sweet interruptions (sitting with us, hugging our legs during vows, even trying to grab the mic!). We chose to include a handfasting ritual (honoring my Celtic roots), which made the ceremony feel even more meaningful for our family. Marco provided the ribbons and a beautiful keepsake box—a touching detail. Despite limited pre-wedding contact, Marco orchestrated everything flawlessly. The ceremony flowed naturally (even with the kids’ adorable chaos!), and his warmth made it feel like a gathering of loved ones. Many of my family members hugged and thanked him afterward—that’s how special he made it. Marco crafts the perfect ceremony for each couple. Our wedding was a dream come true, thanks to him and his wife. We can’t imagine anyone else officiating. If you want a celebrant who prioritizes family, love, and personalization, look no further. One day, we’d love to return for a vow renewal with Marco—but that’s a story for another year. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our day so perfectly us. Warmly, Kiarra
