It was an honour to officiate Cat and Ross' beautiful wedding. It was a poignant reminder of true love standing the test of time. They very generously wrote this kind review, which means the world to me:
"We found it daunting to look over the list of 70-something certified celebrants and pick one, but we feel very fortunate that we chose Matiu. He put a lot of effort into getting to know us and our story, weaving it into a special and tailored ceremony. Preparations were complicated by the 12-hour time difference between us in Norway and New Zealand, but Matiu was flexible, patient, and persistent.
From our first conversation, Matiu's openness and calming presence made the whole process both fun and enlightening. On the day, he seamlessly blended sincerity, procedure, and a good dose of humour that had everyone smiling. His efforts truly made it the best possible day for us.
Anyone on the lookout for a celebrant who embraces aroha, crafts a ceremony with a touch of te reo, and adds a sprinkle of humour should absolutely choose Matiu!"
