Weddings
Marriages, Same-Sex Marriages
& Civil Unions
Every love story deserves to be celebrated with warmth, respect and authenticity. Whether you are planning a marriage, a same-sex marriage or a civil union, your ceremony should reflect your relationship, your personalities and the journey that has brought you together.
As an experienced Auckland celebrant based on the North Shore, I warmly welcome couples of all backgrounds and identities. I work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels genuine, relaxed and uniquely yours—whether you are planning an intimate elopement, a simple legal ceremony or a larger celebration surrounded by family and friends.
Creative writing is one of my greatest passions. By taking the time to listen and understand your story, I can craft a heartfelt ceremony that is personal, meaningful and engaging. My aim is to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident while keeping your guests connected from beginning to end.
Having conducted hundreds of ceremonies, I understand that every couple is different. I will gently guide you through the planning process, explain the legal requirements and help you make choices that feel right for you.
Although I am proudly based on Auckland’s North Shore, I am available throughout Auckland and surrounding areas. Destination ceremonies elsewhere in New Zealand can also be arranged.
It would be an honour to help you celebrate this important moment and create a ceremony that you will remember with happiness for many years to come.
Love is your story. Together, let’s create a ceremony that is truly yours.
Registry Wedding Ceremonies
I am honoured to have been appointed as an approved Registry Marriage Celebrant by New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs. This appointment allows me to conduct official Registry marriage ceremonies on behalf of Births, Deaths and Marriages, following the legal requirements set out for registry weddings.
If you're looking for a simple, affordable and legally recognised way to get married, I'd be delighted to help make your day relaxed, enjoyable and memorable.
