Marg Palmer - Nelson Celebrant Services

Marg Palmer - Nelson Celebrant Services It would be my privilege to deliver a personalised & unique ceremony for your wedding, funeral, or celebration of life. (CANZ).

I am an independent fully trained Celebrant available to work directly with you or alongside an Event Planner or Funeral Director. I trained through the New Zealand Celebrant School and am a member of the Celebrants Association of New Zealand Inc. I live in the Nelson region at the Top of the South Island with its abundance of idyllic and picturesque venues from National Parks to golden beaches, v

ineyards, intimate chapels and purpose built wedding venues. I am also available to take your ceremony anywhere in New Zealand and am happy to discuss locations with you. Once you have decided on your perfect location I will provide you with any extra travel costings. With a commitment of only one wedding ceremony per day, I will deliver a personalised and unique ceremony that connects you and your family and friends and holds you together as you make new memories and reawaken previous experiences. I believe that success is the result of sound preparation and planning. I will ask you many questions during our early meetings because getting to know you and your loved ones is what makes a ceremony intimate, unique and personal and identifies what aspects hold the most importance for you. I have a great deal of life experience behind me. I have worked in New Zealand and overseas, across cultures, and with those challenged by loss of physical or mental ability. I have worked with youth through to those in retirement communities. I will work with you to create your ceremony exactly the way you want it so that it is truly memorable for you and your loved ones.

Intimate weddings are very popular, less stress and full of love. Not to mention more affordable!

In recent years, smaller weddings - those with fewer than 30 guests - have grown in popularity. Once seen as an unconventional choice, micro weddings and elopements have become increasingly mainstream, with couples opting for more personal, low-key celebrations.
