Choosing the right celebrant for your big day is a huge decision! Let’s meet and talk about what you want.

My focus is to tell your love story and create a unique and personal ceremony for you to enjoy with your family and friends.

Gorgeous couple married with a personalised ceremony on Sunday.

A privilege to get to know this couple - so much laughter with them, and their families and friends.

The rain held off and the large garden umbrella provided protection for the tiny shower!

I got the dress colour right for this lovely registry couple!

Congratulations to Ngahuia and Taylor. It was short and sweet, and then they headed to the beautiful Wintergardens Cafe.

Congratulations to Noah & Rocky on getting hitched at my place!

The sun shone on a gorgeous Auckland day.

They were so happy to formalise their relationship into their lifelong commitment.

An absolute pleasure to marry this beautiful couple, Robin and Molee, in my library. Photo here in my entrance.
A gorgeous deep love - it was wonderful to witness.

Wahoo!

On a wet and dreary day in Auckland, just as the sun popped out for a minute, my celebrant renewal email from BDM arrived!

How exciting! I love this work - and creating special moments for couples and their people.

I was stoked to get this message from Vitor and Jessica. Lionel Tan, Photographer, and I worked together on this elopement at my home.
Here's what they had to say:
"We’re so grateful we chose you as our celebrant. You brought such a warm, relaxed and happy energy that made the ceremony feel truly personal with a touch of humor. Many of our guests commented on how joyful and engaging you were.
We also wanted to thank you for suggesting the ring blessing. It ended up being such a heartfelt and emotional moment — we’ll never forget the kind and beautiful words from our friends.
What we valued most: Your organization and communication leading up to the day were fantastic. We always felt supported - you really made the process feel smooth and easy, which was a huge help for us to feel calm and confident for the wedding day.
What was great: Your amazing energy and joyful presence, the way you told our story, and how you made everyone feel included. The ceremony had the perfect balance of fun, warmth, and meaning.
On the big day: We were most grateful for how you held the space with such confidence and joy — it really helped us stay present and grounded in the moment.
Thanks again, Brenda — you were such a memorable part of our wedding, and we’re lucky to have had you as our celebrant." Jessica and Vitor

Married these lovelies 💞today - along with many camera shy couples this week!

The weather 🌦️ has kept us inside my library, but soon weddings will be in
my tropical garden.

Bring on summer 🌺

Elaine/Spike and I headed to see 100 years of art, on loan from the Toledo Art Gallery.
A great experience and many many beautiful paintings!

Fabulous diverse group of celebrants learning from Helen O’Shaughnessy about how to apply to gain their VCANZ this morning.

Thanks everyone for your great contributions-especially Helen!

We are making Vs - for VCANZ, if it’s too subtle 🤩

WOW!!! An email today from a couple married this week! What joy it has given me on this Sunday:

Thinking back to the time when we were almost lost and panicked in finding the right celebrant within such a short time frame, we could never imagine this to turn out so lovely and perfect as it was.

We cannot thank you enough for taking the job (even while you were still on holiday), guiding us through all the requirements, and welcoming us to your home on the big day. As we are both foreigners and know nothing about the NZ wedding norms, we would never be able to do it without your kind help. It was just a pure blessing to have you as our celebrant.

Haruna’s family also deeply appreciates you for including them in watching the ceremony from Japan. They are all so happy and grateful for your service and hospitality, as we are.

Now we are back to work and slowly going back from the dreamy celebration to our everyday but new life as a married couple, again all thanks to you.
May there be many more lucky couples to find you as their celebrant, just like us.

Thanks to Lionel Tan for this lovely photo - it was taken a while ago, but still looks like me!

Beautiful love at Highwic, in Newmarket.

Cameron posted a review:
"My wife and I hired Brenda as our celebrant for our recent elopement, and we could not be more impressed with her service.

We only had three weeks to prepare, and Brenda guided us through the whole process leading up to the day, letting us know exactly what had to get done (and following up when deadlines were closing).

She was clearly very experienced and extremely professional, organised, and diligent from start to finish.

She was a pleasure to deal with, and we are so happy to have found her. Can't recommend her enough!"

Photographer Adam, from WonderFerris took these great images. Check them out online https://wonderferris.com/
