Just a little Celebrant/Coordinator living her best life 😅
Not only did I have the privilege of marrying M+J at Toad Hall in Motueka, I also managed ceremony space set up, vendor comms and the afternoon coordinating. If you need an extra set of hands to keep the day running smoothly pre or post ceremony please shout out!

From France to Furneaux - when Frédéric & Nathalie wanted to renew their vowels on their 25th wedding anniversary, they travelled with the kids all the way to Marlborough to do it!

It was just me - the ever fabulous .taualupe - and the family on a beautiful evening at in the Marlborough Sounds.

I don’t speak alot of French, thankfully their kids could translate overly exuberant photographer speak to the lovely couple.

Thank you so so much for having me!

When the weather packed in, K+S had to move to plan B and what a brilliant plan it was. A sweet little ceremony at the Marlborough Vintage Car Club 🫶🏼

M+S shared some gorgeous photos and kind words from their special day at Paripuma earlier this year 🤍 thanks team x

“We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect celebrant to make our ceremony exactly what we hoped it would be. Rachel’s cool and calm approach made us feel relaxed and at ease, she was incredibly professional and easy to work. She captured who we were as a couple so beautifully and made our day so special. The ceremony was our favourite part of our day because Rachel made it so easy and joyful. Thank you so much Rach!!!!”

The most fun ever 🤍
A+S on the Kaikoura coastline celebrating their love. These two absolutely embody living for the moment and their laughter and love throughout the day was contagious.
