Wedding Celebrant

TAKING THE FIRST STEP TO MARRIAGE

Congratulations on your engagement!

You have reached an important milestone in your journey in life – you and your partner have decided to take the step to unite in partnership through marriage.

It is not only exciting, but it is also a commitment that shows your love for each other and you have both chosen to share this commitment with others by celebrating.

When preparing for your big day there are all sorts of things to consider, like the venue, the dress, the bridesmaids, and the flowers to organise, but the core of the wedding is the ceremony and having a Wedding Celebrant to work with you to ensure your ceremony is unique to you both.

This is where I come in - to create with you a magical, heart-felt and memorable ceremony.

Let's work together

We'll work together to ensure your wishes are met and your dreams become reality.

Second time around couples are especially welcome and if you are based overseas and coming to New Zealand for your wedding, I'll extend my services to help with any arrangements for your wedding – photographer, florist, wedding cake, catering, and even witnesses.

Please get in touch with me to discuss how I can help you.

Music, links and legalities

SOUND SYSTEM

Whether you are on the beach, backyard or wedding venue, I have a sound system available, with microphones, to ensure all your guests can hear your ceremony.

Ideal to play your entrance music, use during your ceremony, music whilst you are signing your marriage certificate and for your exit music - the use of the sound system is included as part of your celebrant fee.

LEGALITIES

You will be required to apply for a Marriage Licence, through Births, Deaths and Marriage http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Births-Deaths-and-Marriages-How-to-Get-a-Marriage-Licence

Your licence is valid for three months from the date of the licence and a Registered Marriage Celebrant is required to carry out the marriage.

In the 21st century a lot has changed with marriage ceremonies except at some point you are required to say “I AB take you CD” to be my husband/wife – or words to that effect, using the full names of the couple.

The rest of the ceremony can be personalised to suit the couple. Two witnesses are needed – witnesses do not need to be one of the bridal party, they can be anyone that you nominate.

The marriage licence is signed by the bridal couple, the two witnesses and the Celebrant. All very straight forward and I am able to assist with any questions.
