Your wedding ceremony is all about the decision you two have made to be together always so it needs to be a meaningful and accurate reflection of you both as individuals and as a couple. I am happy to meet with you and talk through what you do or don’t want; what ideas you may have; what elements of the ceremony are especially important to you. Every couple is unique so your marriage ceremony should be written just for you and it should be real and fun and yours.

I live in Auckland but am happy to travel to destinations outside that region and I do like to attend the rehearsal so I am familiar with the practical aspects of your day. I am an experienced celebrant but I never tire of weddings. I know and appreciate the time and effort couples put into their day and what it all means to them so I am prepared to go the extra mile if that’s what it takes to make it perfect.

And of course there are other life events which we enjoy celebrating such as vow renewals, special age birthdays,  house blessings to name a few.

Sadly life isn't always  just about the fun times. Sadness can walk with us at any time in our life and so the ceremonies we create around funerals, ash interments and unveilings  hold a special meaning and purpose.  I have had many years  experience both as a Funeral Director and a Funeral Celebrant so I feel I have a deep understanding that helps me to respond to and interact  genuinely with  families at a time when they are unsure how to start saying farewell to someone they have loved.
