A testimonial from Kat & Nate. Cheers you two!!!
“Cushla was the only celebrant we ever considered. When we learned she had become a celebrant, we knew instantly she was the one for us. She guided us with such care, calm, and thoughtfulness through every step of both our legal ceremony at Lake Pupuke and our celebration ceremony in Rarotonga. Her presence was deeply grounding, personal, and full of heart, making both occasions feel truly us. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect person to hold and honour such an important moment in our lives.”

My first wedding was a surprise… not so much for the couple but for all the guests. A birthday speech suddenly became a “we are gathered here today”. It was the best day & an absolute privilege to marry my friends.

Thanks for checking out my page. Whether it’s a big wedding or something small and intimate, happy to chat. You’ll find all you need on my website:

Kia ora, my name is Cushla, and I'm a registered celebrant in New Plymouth. My venture into being an Independent Celebrant was prompted by my love of public speaking and my affection for significant life occasions. I believe that events are the punctuation to our lives. Ensuring the mood,
