This whakataukī reminds us that abundance and prosperity come in many forms.

At Te Aho Weddings and Civil Unions, I honour the beauty of small and intimate ceremonies — where the true wealth lies in the people who gather and the kai that nourishes us. These moments reflect what matters most — connection, care, and the sharing of life together.

It’s not about how big the celebration is, but how meaningful it feels 🤍

A March wedding signifies a transitional time from summer to autumn, symbolizing renewal, growth, and the strength to overcome challenges.

The daffodil is a symbol of a March wedding and represents new beginnings, joy, and rebirth

Aquamarine is the primary March birthstone, - symbolizing tranquility, loyalty, courage, and friendship.

Who wouldnt want a vow renewal or committment ceremony in March.

It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected. Inspire Inclusion encourages everyone to recognize the unique perspectives and contributions of women from all walks of life, including those from marginalized communities.
