Stardew Valley: How to Romance & Marry Haley (2024)

Stardew Valley provides players with absolute freedom. Freedom from the stressful city life and hectic work routines, the freedom to craft and shape the farm of their fantasies, and the freedom to choose their life partner and live a peaceful life. This engaging and wholesome countryside RPG has it all.

In Stardew Valley, Haley is one of the 12 villagers in Pelican Town to whom players can get married. Fresh out of high school, Haley isn’t employed yet. She resides alongside her sister, Emily, and both of them take care of their parents’ house – who have been traveling the world for the past two years. While she seems like a self-centered and superficial character at first, Haley is kind, caring, and affectionate. Getting to know her better is worth the effort; it reveals a deeper and more genuine side beneath her surface facade.

Haley’s Schedule

In Stardew Valley, Haley isn’t very active and has a simple routine that can be tracked to get ahold of her. Talking to her and building a connection reveals that she is passionate about photography and loves capturing scenic pictures.

From 11 AM to 4 PM, she visits the Fountain near the Community Center every day during Spring and Fall, except on Mondays, when she can be found taking pictures near the river south of Marnie’s Ranch. Haley heads to the Beach daily in the Summer and meets up with Alex at his ice cream stand. In Winter, she stays indoors all day but goes to Harvey’s Clinic on Winter 9th and attends the Night Market on Winter 16th.

Whatever the season – if it’s raining, Haley will stay in her room all day except at 12 PM when she occasionally leaves her room to go to the kitchen, and at 7 PM when she goes to stand in her living room.

Haley’s Favorite Gifts

In Stardew Valley, giving gifts to other villagers increases Friendship points with them. This in turn adds Hearts and influences the player’s likability. Haley is a picky and spoiled character with luxurious preferences when it comes to gifts. She’s very particular about what type of things she likes.

Romancing Haley

Even if Haley seems difficult to court, there are multiple layers to her personality. Like all characters in Stardew Valley, she has her own Heart events. Most of Haley’s events happen inside her home.

After Eight Hearts, Pierre sends a letter stating that he’s now selling Bouquets at his shop. It’s recommended that players give Haley the Bouquet to further strengthen their romantic bond. She’ll happily accept the flowers, changing her status to “Girlfriend” in the Social Menu.

Marrying Haley

Players who are up for the challenge and want to start a life with Haley can propose to her and see if she is interested in getting married. The Mayor announces that it’s customary for villagers in Stardew Valley to propose with a special necklace called a Mermaid’s Pendant. Players can purchase it from the Old Mariner for 5000g. On rainy days, he’s usually found at the tidal pools on the Beach.

Stardew Valley is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
