Karin De La Rey

Hello, my name is Karin and I would absolutely love to be your celebrant! What a privilege it is to share in your happiness!
LET’S CELEBRATE YOU on this very important day while reliving the time when your together journey has started. The heroes of the day are you. You are who matter. Your wishes. Your dreams. Your day. I am here to assist you to turn your dreams into reality in a relaxed manner with a touch of humour. Together we create a day you will always remember. I have the compassion, the discipline and the enthusiasm to be there for you, to create the perfect ceremony for your perfect day.  You are the shining stars, you and your love for each other. I have successfully completed the Certificate in Celebrant Studies as well as my studies as a journalist which have strengthened my ability to interview you and write your story, with your personalities shining through. It will be such a privilege to be your celebrant. Although I am based in sunny Tauranga, I am prepared to travel further afield. I would love to meet you in person or via Skype with no obligations at the first meeting. I am always available for you by phone and/or email. You are very welcome to contact me at any time. 
If you needed a special ceremony for the Renewal of your Vows or an anniversary, for your Engagement or Baby Naming, for a house blessing or a memorial service, it will be an honour to be part of your celebrations. I am honoured to be a registered Independent Marriage and Civil Union Celebrant, Member of CANZ as well as the Editor of Pãnui, the Official Journal of CANZ.
Funerals and memorial services are a time of sharing those very special memories that are so much part of life’s journey and saying farewell. Creating a personalised ceremony is an honour and a privilege on a deep and compassionate level. I can relate to this as I have lost loved ones too.
