Wedding Celebrant - Laura Giddey

I'm a wedding and funeral celebrant in Auckland. If you're reading this and you're engaged, congratulations! I'd love to chat to you about your big day.

Planning a wedding can be a stressful time, but it doesn't have to be! I can help with ideas to make your ceremony as unique and awesome as you. I'm young and open minded about any ways we can celebrate your life and love. Let's chat!

Elaine and Chris met when they were 5 and went through primary and high school together. They shared a cheeky kiss at a party when they were 17, and then went their separate ways for 30 years. After reconnecting at a school reunion, they decided to elope to the Boutique Barn while on a holiday around our beautiful country. They asked me to read a quote from Bob Marley that particularly resonated with them and their story. "Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid, it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all."
Gorgeous wintery photos by Amy Ryan Weddings.

The lovely Alyssa and Casey celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary recently with a vow renewal at the Boutique Barn and all their favourite people came decked out in the dress code to support and celebrate. Gorgeous photos from Amy Ryan Weddings. Seriously inspired to celebrate every anniversary with a fancy do!
Some kinds words from them after the event: "The ceremony was the highlight of our day and the most meaningful part for Casey and I. It was so beautiful. Your words truly resonated with us and made the moment incredibly special. We felt seen, supported, and surrounded by love. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant."

This weekend I celebrated my 500th wedding! 🙀✨ 🥰 I flipping love that I get to marry people and feel so lucky every time I’m up close and personal (or off to the side crying like a proud mum) with lovely people making these big commitments. I don’t take it for granted, it’s a privilege and it’s so, so fun. Simply the best! And now I’ve carefully crafted this costume if anyone needs to be Moira Rose, it’s available to rent 🤣

A special day I was part of this week! I got to watch the beautiful Indian ceremony and then pop up at the end to legally marry Chahat and Shubham at The McCallum Residence. Amazing photos, as always, from Kouki Weddings & Elopement: Photo & Video NZ AU.

How classy are these photos of Hannah and Michael by their photographer (and bookseller via Time Out Bookshop in Mt Eden) Jenna Todd?! Hotel Britomart was the perfect setting for their wedding and long lunch. I especially love the photo of their nanas signing the paperwork, and also their style, and also the flowers and backdrop, and also everything else.

The lovely Jacinda and Brad at Castaways Resort shot by Patrick of Aduna Studios. Not too windy and we love those views! I stayed to MC too, how cool is that sparkler photo!!

The lovely Mel and Wade, who I married recently at The Stables in Matakana with Andara Media, left me this very kind review:

"Laura is the best celebrant a couple could ask for! She is so easy to work with and made us both feel very relaxed. She manages to weave in just the right amount of humour along with heartfelt-ness. Thanks so much far being our celebrant Laura! Would highly recommend."

Zuza (and Marcin and Jeremi) came over from Poland for her to do the Taupo triathlon and decided to elope while they were here. My friend and photographer Amy Ryan Weddings and I planned a sweet little elopement at Balmain Reserve, they invited their two lovely friends, and we all juggled entertaining Jeremi as well as the wedding stuff!
So relaxed and fun!

Celebrant Giddey can also be cute baby distractor, let-your-hair-down-if-I-had-hair, telling-you-where-the-toilets-are Giddey too. Ya girl’s got range!
I feel so lucky to do this job! Such fun.

I met Siobhan and Adam years ago when I took the funeral service for Siobhan’s much loved nana. It’s an honor that they remembered me when it came to planning their beautiful day at Kauri Bay. Photos by my favourite chris_turner_weddings
