I sure do! You can Bluetooth to my speaker and let the ceremony music flow from it! I also have you covered when it comes to a mic. That way, all your guests in the back can hear you say I do!

It is your responsibility to order and pay for the licence, (it costs $158). However, I will totally help you out by sending you a reminder email one month out with the link to the form…so all you need to do is click and fill it out! Get it sent to me and I will print it out all the documents and bring them on the day for you and your witnesses to sign. The licence takes 3 working days to process and lasts for 3 months. Please note, I need to see the licence so that I know that everything is in order for you to become a happily married couple!

Any two people that you choose, whether that is someone you want to honour in this special role, or you want to add a little fun with a witness raffle. Your 2 witnesses must understand what’s happening during the ceremony. They must be able to clearly identify both of you and be satisfied you both consent to the marriage.

They:

• don’t need to have known you for any specific length of time and

• can be children of any age, as long as they understand the nature of the ceremony and are able to demonstrate that understanding in court if required.

If I’m ever too sick to officiate (which is super rare!), don’t worry – I’ve got you covered! I’m part of a fantastic network of celebrants who are just as fun and professional, and I’d make sure you have someone amazing to step in. Your day is too important to leave to chance!

Registry weddings in New Zealand are performed by VCANZ celebrants only and follow a set format focused purely on completing the legal requirements.

I am not VCANZ and do not perform Registry weddings.

What I can offer is a registry-style, legal only ceremony.

This option still meets all the legal requirements to be married in New Zealand, but delivered in a relaxed, personal way.

Without the formality of a registry script. It’s simple, short and ideal for couples who want to take care of the paperwork while keeping the moment calm and meaningful.

A personalised ceremony goes a step further again, allowing space for your story, your people and the way you want the moment to feel, while still including all required legal wording.

Both options result in a legal marriage.

The difference is the experience and how personal you want the moment to be.

Once you’ve locked in the date and venue, the next key vendors are your photographer, perhaps a planner, and – the only vendor you actually have to have – the celebrant!

Make sure you do your research, and get in touch with one that you have liked the look of. Check out their website, social media and google reviews and then meet them in person where you can to make sure you click. Celebrants book up fast, especially the ones who bring the fun and create unforgettable moments. Aim for at least 9 – 12 months out, but if your heart’s set on someone, reach out sooner rather than later.

What sets my ceremonies apart? It’s all about creating a vibe that’s totally you. I take the time to get to know you, your story, your style so that every word, every moment, feels like, ‘Wow, that was so us!’ From weaving in personal touches to finding ways to keep it relaxed and fun. I make sure your ceremony feels like a true celebration of who you are as a couple. No cookie-cutter ceremonies here – just something real, meaningful and uniquely yours!

A rehearsal? Totally up to you! Some vendors will say this is a must and having one can be a great way to shake off any nerves, as you go over the flow of the ceremony and get everyone comfy with their roles. It’s also a nice excuse to gather with your I do crew before the big day! But if you’re more of a ‘keep it spontaneous’ couple, no worries – many couples skip it and everything still flows beautifully. Either way, I’ll guide you on the day, so it’s all smooth sailing!

I’m all about blending in with your style! I’ll ask you about the colours and themes and the vibe you’re going for, so I look the part for your day. Whether it’s classy neutrals, a splash of colour, or even a fun dress-up theme, I’m in! Your day, your style.
