My Wedding Services
Officiating at your wedding or civil union is an intimate privilege. I am honoured that you have made a connection with me and taken time to gather insights into who I am and what I will bring to your special day. I look forward to having the same honour of getting to know you both, finding out what is important to you, and sharing your love story with those who matter most to you. I really enjoy MC’ing too, and will happily step in if needed.
Simple and Sweet
This option is for those couples who would prefer a shorter, simpler ceremony. It may be a small, intimate gathering, or there may be decent crowd - the size of the gathering doesn’t matter. We work together to co-create your ceremony, working from questionnaires and resources to support your choices of elements to include in your ceremony. I would not attend a rehearsal, but could with an additional fee. After our complementary initial meet and greet, we would have one online meeting to ensure we had all bases covered, and another in the week before your ceremony to walk through the structure of the day together. This is a nice and easy, fuss and stress-free option. Let’s meet and get started!
Designed for You
Let me create a unique and personalised ceremony for you and your partner that you will treasure and remember. Think - your choice of location, music, vows, wedding rituals - and I’ll make it happen! During our planning time and lead up to the big day, we’ll have an initial face to face consult; you will complete a questionnaire to express your thoughts, ideas and dreams, and we will have another face to face or online meeting to make sure we have everything covered. We’ll have a rehearsal during the week before , and I will professionally deliver the awesome ceremony we have crafted together. I’ll be there throughout the process to support you both, and to ensure things run smoothly and to plan. Your wedding day is a day to remember, so let’s get creating!
Vow Renewal
Whether you are wanting to renew your vows to mark a special anniversary, or to rekindle things moving forward, a vow renewal ceremony can be a beautiful occasion to meet your needs. Like wedding ceremonies, it can be a registry/elopement type of ceremony, or a very personalised and unique one that we create together. There are no legal requirements to a vow renewal - just you and your partners wishes and dreams. Let's chat and figure out what would suit you best and I'll get creating!
Super Simple and Sweet
Think of the old “Registry ceremonies”, then add personalisation, on a day and at a time that you want, and a venue of your choosing, and that’s what my Super Simple and Sweet delivers. Warm, intimate, short and meeting all of the legal requirements, these ceremonies take the cost and fuss out of your ceremony. I can even provide witnesses if required. These ceremonies are really great for those having cultural marriages out of New Zealand and would like the legalities completed before or after; for those coming from overseas for a destination elopement; or for those that just want to be married without a fussy wedding. I can be flexible and meet you during the week or on weekends - let’s make it happen!
