FAQs
What will you do as our celebrant?
As your celebrant I will get to know you, your story and work with you to create a customised wedding ceremony that reflects your relationship and feels authentically you. I will match the vibe you are wanting for your big day - whether that’s traditional or modern, light hearted or serious, formal or relaxed. My style is warm, positive and engaging. My goal is to bring an injection of energy and warmth to your day while blending in and holding space for the moments that matter the most.
How personalised is the ceremony?
Every ceremony I create is completely unique and tailored to your story, values, and vision.
How much are your services?
My rate is $700 for a personalised ceremony which includes initial meetings, creation of your customised ceremony script, correspondence in the lead up to the big day, rehearsal the day before, getting you married on the big day itself and all of the legal paperwork requirements.
Can we meet you first?
Absolutely! We can meet first in-person or online to get to know each other and see if the fit is right.
What are your payment requirements?
I request a 50% deposit to secure the date, then the final 50% is paid the week of the ceremony.
Can you travel?
Yes! I am primarily based in Rodney, Auckland however am available to travel.
I spend a lot of time in Otago & Central Otago so feel free to reach out and see if I am available for your dates. Travel fees may apply depending on the location - just ask and I’ll let you know.
Do you provide help with vows?
Yes. I provide guidance, examples, and support to help you write meaningful vows. I also recommend couples email me their vows (separately) so I can check they are matched in length and tone.
How long is a typical ceremony?
Most ceremonies run between 20-30 minutes, but we can tailor this to suit your preferences. Short and sweet? Deep and storytelling-focused? We’ll create what feels right for you.
Are you a registered marriage celebrant in New Zealand?
Yes - I am a registered independent marriage celebrant authorised to legally marry couples in New Zealand. I will guide you through the marriage licence process and ensure all legal paperwork is properly completed and lodged.
What do you wear?
I will match the dress code of your day. I keep my look polished and neutral so I complement your day without taking attention away from you. I will always check what colour your bridesmaids are wearing and any colour palette or style preferences you have.
