Worried you’re going to forget what to say? Don’t be.

I get so many couples stressing about having to remember their vows, their “I do’s”, or what they’re supposed to say during the ceremony.

The good news is — you don’t have to remember everything.

That’s part of what I’m there for.

If you lose your place, your mind goes completely blank, or you just need a little reminder — I’ve got you. As you can see here with Ryan, sometimes a quick prompt from the celebrant is all that’s needed to keep things rolling.

And you know what? Those little unscripted moments often end up being some of the best parts of the ceremony. They get a laugh, break the nerves and make the whole thing feel real.

Nobody expects you to be perfect. You’ve already got enough going through your head on your wedding day.

So relax. Forget a line. Have a laugh. I’ll keep you on track.

That’s what I’m there for. 🥂

You've probably seen the suit, the microphone and me standing up the front of someone's wedding.

But there's been a fair bit of random s**t before I got there. 😂

Radio. Acting. Film sets. MCing. Landscaping. Truck driving. Teaching. And eventually… marrying people.

Looking back, it actually makes a weird amount of sense.

So here's a little bit about the bloke behind the microphone.

Now your turn — tell me one random thing about YOU that I'd never guess 👇

Apparently, the Aussies have cracked the code for guaranteeing good weather on your wedding day.

Forget checking the forecast. Forget crossing your fingers.

Just bury a sausage.

Yep. An actual sausage. And no, that is absolutely not a euphemism.

The theory goes that if you bury a sausage near where your ceremony is taking place before the big day, the weather gods will look kindly upon you and deliver sunshine.

Ridiculous? Possibly.

But according to a few of you who’ve actually tried it… IT WORKS.

So if rain is threatening your wedding day, you know what to do.

Grab a shovel. Grab a snag. Trust the process.

💍 Paul & Ainslee — 24 July 2026 💙

This was an absolute privilege officiating the wedding for these guys at the beautiful Royal Akarana Yacht Club, overlooking Rangitoto and the Auckland Harbour.

And this certainly wasn’t your traditional wedding! 😄

From a meat raffle to a bingo wheel to choose our two witnesses and even hiding the wedding rings under two separate chairs to discover our surprise ring bearers — this wedding had plenty of laughs, surprises and moments that made it uniquely Paul & Ainslee.

The evening continued in spectacular fashion with a special performance from the Te Au O Tama’aru Dance Group, giving everyone a taste of the beautiful culture and destination that awaits our newlyweds on their honeymoon in Rarotonga. 🌴🌺

With fantastic food, an incredible venue, plenty of laughter, and a beautiful clear evening overlooking the harbour, it was a truly memorable celebration.

Paul & Ainslee, thank you for allowing me to be part of your special day and for trusting me to help make your ceremony one to remember.

Wishing you both an incredible happily ever after — and an amazing honeymoon in Rarotonga! ❤️🥂

Get in touch today if you or someone you know is looking for a celebrant!

Angie & Ryan – 17.01.2026 💍

Crazy to think I first heard from these two about a year before the wedding actually rolled around… so we’d been chatting, planning and bouncing ideas around for ages. Feels a bit weird now that it’s all done and dusted!

Absolute legends of a couple to marry too. Proper warm, easygoing people and honestly just good fun to work with. They wanted to sneak their love of Harry Potter and LEGO into the ceremony which made putting the whole thing together an absolute blast. Always love it when couples make the ceremony feel properly them instead of all stiff and formal.

Also — if you’re hunting for a wedding venue around South Auckland, definitely go check out Beaufords. Beautiful old 1930s homestead tucked away in Totara Park and an unreal spot for a wedding. Even has accommodation for guests which is bloody handy.

Big congrats again to Ange & Ryan ❤️ and a massive thanks to their family and mates for making me feel so welcome on the day.

And hey — if you’re looking for a celebrant who can also jump on the mic and MC the reception afterwards too, flick me a DM or email me at [email protected] 🍻
