02/11/2025

What an absolute privilege it was to stand beside this beautiful couple as they said their vows.
Their day was full of laughter, emotion, and the kind of love that reminds everyone why marriage is such a powerful commitment.

From the heartfelt tears to the cheeky smiles between you, every moment was pure magic.
Your ceremony was a reflection of who you are as a couple: warm, genuine, and full of love surrounded by your wonderful friends and whānau.

Thank you for trusting me to play a small part in your story, it was an honour to celebrate the start of your forever.
Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and all the adventures ahead.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Belk xx.

✨Still smiling thinking about Mr & Mrs Belk’s day ✨

They shared the sweetest words:
Kristy was an amazing celebrant. She was always keeping in touch, making sure everything was to our satisfaction and that she had the right pronunciation of all parties involved. She was very helpful and made it as easy as possible. I was very happy with everything she done for us and would definitely recommend her to everyone I know.

Honestly, this means the world.
Creating a ceremony that feels personal, effortless, and true to each couple is always my goal and this one was pure joy from start to finish.

Congratulations again, Mr & Mrs Belk, it was an honour to be part of your love story! 🥂

Black nails for my bestie’s big day 🖤 because classy doesn’t always mean neutral!

Casey from Three Diamonds absolutely nailed this set (pun totally intended 😏).
Sleek, bold, and elegant, the perfect combo for celebrating my bestie’s wedding in style!

Who says wedding nails have to be pink or n**e? Sometimes black is the ultimate power move. 🖤
They looked so good wrapped around a champagne glass and even better holding my tissues while I watched one of my favourite people say “I do.” 🥂

If you haven’t been to see Casey, go check her out she’s a total gem, always up for a laugh, and somehow makes your hands look like they belong in a bridal shoot every single time.

Wedding planning doesn’t have to feel like a full-time job, it should be fun planning one of your most important days of your life to remember for a lifetime.

If you’ve found yourself knee-deep in Pinterest boards, guest lists, and cake flavours… just breathe. 🫶

Wedding planning can feel like a full-time job, but it doesn’t have to.
You’re allowed to slow down, laugh through the chaos, and actually enjoy the process, not just the big day itself.

As your celebrant, I’m here to keep things fun, stress-free, and totally you.
From writing a ceremony that feels like your love story to giving gentle reminders to breathe (and sip your prosecco 🥂) I’ve got you.

So if you’re ready to turn all those ideas into something real, 💌 let’s chat, I’ve got a few 2025/ 2026 dates left and I’d love to create something magical with you.

I am SO ready to kick things off!

✨From now right through until March next year, I get the absolute honour of standing alongside some incredible couples as they say “I do” and honestly, I can’t wait to be a part of their love stories.

If you’ve got a wedding coming up and you’re still searching for a celebrant who gets it, someone who understands the assignment, makes you feel comfortable, and lets you be 100% yourself (no judgement, no cookie-cutter ceremonies)… then let’s talk.

I only have a handful of weekends left between now and March, so if you’ve been thinking about locking in your celebrant, now’s the time.
Because whether your day is classic and traditional, rustic and relaxed, or a little bit quirky, I’ll be right there with you, bringing the vibes, the laughs, and the heartfelt words that make your ceremony unforgettable.

✨ Ready? Let’s start planning.

Vows With a View ✨

If you’re picturing a wedding with a view, The Black Barn in Rotorua is pure magic.

Perched high on the hill with Lake Rotorua as the backdrop, it’s one of those venues that makes you stop and take it all in. Rustic charm, sweeping scenery, and the kind of atmosphere that turns vows into a cinematic moment.

I’ll be back here in just a couple of months, and I already know I’ll be blown away again, standing with a couple as they promise forever with that lake behind them is something truly special.

And to capture it all? Melissa King Photography. Her work is nothing short of incredible. Melissa has this rare gift of blending into the moment and then somehow delivering images that feel effortless, emotional, and timeless. If you want photos that let you relive every feeling of your day, she’s the one.

So if you’re still looking for a venue that feels intimate yet breathtaking? Put The Black Barn on your list. A photographer who turns moments into memories? Call Melissa King. You won’t regret it.

🤍Sometimes the sweetest moments at a wedding are the ones you don’t plan.🤍

I’ve seen little ones suddenly want to be up there with Mum or Dad during the ceremony. And honestly, it makes perfect sense.
They see their parent emotional, standing at the front, and their instinct is curiosity and connection. They just want to be close.

Dragging them away can cause tears (and a bigger scene than if we just let them be!). But allowing them to wander up, hold a hand, or share a cuddle often creates a moment that’s even more meaningful.

For me, it’s not a disruption it’s part of your story. If your child wants to join you in that moment, I’ll always hold the space for it. Because weddings aren’t about being “picture perfect” they’re about real love, real families, and real connection.

And sometimes, that means a tiny hand reaching up in the middle of your vows… which is pretty special if you ask me.

✨Pretty in pink 💅✨

Because even a celebrant needs a fresh set to keep up with all the gorgeous brides!
Pink nails = wedding season vibes, and I’m absolutely here for it.

Who else loves a classic pink moment?

If you’re looking for someone who absolutely nails it every single time, I 100% recommend Casey at Three Black Diamonds. She’s fabulous, talented, and always makes sure you leave feeling amazing. Brides, bridal party, or just a little self-care, she’s your go-to!

✨💍Planning your wedding?💍✨

Let’s talk must-haves vs finer details.

First things first – the non-negotiables:
🤍 A marriage celebrant you truly connect with. Someone who gets you as a couple and makes your ceremony feel like yours.
🤍 Your marriage licence (sorted up to 3 months before the big day).
🤍 Two witnesses – without them, it’s not legal!

Once the essentials are ticked off, the fun begins with the finer details:
🤍 Venue, catering, and drinks to keep everyone happy.
🤍 Outfits for you and your crew, from your dress or suit through to your bridal party.
🤍 Rings that you’ll wear for a lifetime.
🤍 Flowers and décor to bring your vision to life.
🤍 Cake (or dessert of choice, it doesn’t always have to be cake!).
🤍 Photography to capture every moment.
🤍 Entertainment – DJ, band, or sound system. Don’t forget at least 3 songs for your ceremony: your aisle song, a signing song, and that celebratory walk-out track.
🤍 Plus the extras that make it yours.. think transport, hair & makeup, signage, and even a little emergency kit for the day.

Every couple’s list looks different, but knowing the must-haves from the nice-to-haves will keep planning simple and stress-free.

If you’re still looking for a marriage celebrant who’ll make your day personal, meaningful, and unforgettable, send me a DM, I’d love to chat.
