Wedding Ceremony Packages
I love working with all people. I am a fully inclusive Marriage and Family Celebrant who welcomes enquiries from everyone, whatever your beliefs, religion, spirituality or ethnicity.
Whether looking for a short, simple elopement marriage celebration or a larger wedding, I have many years of experience working with couples and families delivering bespoke heart-led ceremonies. I primarily work in Oamaru, Timaru, Palmerston, Kakanui, Hampden, Kurow, Waitaki region, Southern Lakes, Otematata, Omarama, Twizel and the McKenzie region. I am also happy to travel anywhere in New Zealand to marry you.
When I receive your enquiry, I will arrange a meeting with you either in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We spend time getting to know each other, and this gives you a chance to ask me some of your questions. I will then send you an invoice for a deposit securing your date and time to prevent any double bookings, ensuring my commitment to you. I will give you some questionnaires to complete. Once returned, I will write your bespoke ceremony, sending you the first draft for approval. We will spend some time fine tuning every detail until it is perfect for you.
It will be an honour and a pleasure to work with you both, crafting an exquisite marriage ceremony on you Wedding Day. We will work together to ensure that your ceremony captures the essence of your love. From the moment we meet, I will work with professionalism, reliability, care and guidance to ensure your marriage ceremony is ultimately yours.

Master of Ceremonies
Navigating your wedding plans and your guest on your wedding day can be daunting and difficult. You can relax as I work with you ensuring your guests are taken seamlessly from Ceremony to Celebrations, whilst you are whisked away for your fabulous photos. Making sure all the guests are back at the reception venue in time for your speeches, toasts, cake-cutting and of course the first dance. I will discreetly leave once all the formalities are complete.
