Hi Facebook friends. I'm delighted to confirm my registration with Births Deaths and Marriages as a registered Marriage Celebrant for the 2026 year has been accepted. Yay! For those couples already booked with me, you have peace of mind! For others still looking for a Celebrant, make contact as I'm in NZ for 2025/26 and still taking bookings. A bit of a milestone for me, with nearly 15 years as a Celebrant, Celebrating all forms of Marriage, life Beginnings (naming) and End of Life (funerals). I love bring able to work with people who trust me when it's such an emotional time of your journey. Today, however, Celebrating me, yay 🥂🍾

Two weddings in one week. How exciting to be able to create two completely different ceremonies! My son married his best friend 🧡 and my daughter married her lifetime partner while on holiday from Germany along with their unborn baby. So 2 weddings and a grandchild on the way. Life doesn't get much better! Celebrations all round. 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🩶🤍

Well that's the end of another summer of weddings, and funerals. I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to work with people surrounded by love and peace. It is indeed an honour. Please feel free to leave a short review on my page and maybe some photos, to help others make the choice to contact me for their services. 😇

Life of a Celebrant....well, the past 4 weeks have brought 3 weddings and a funeral to be officiated amongst other commitments... Some are done as required and requested, not so much personal emotion. Others have a deeply connected spiritual link which surpasses any "ordinary" ceremony. I have been blessed to be able to offer myself, my unique personality, my commitment to the detail, to bring those wedding dreams, and respectful funerals, to be the best I can create. So on that note, last wedding this afternoon for this season. Truly beautiful and meaningful in a stunning garden at Creel Lodge, Turangi. What a lovely end to the season! 😇

Sharing this lovely email after their wedding...it was my pleasure, I love being a Celebrant!💓

Hi Chris,

I know it's a bit late but I just wanna let you know that I'm still over the moon.😁
After our first meeting at the Cafe, and you made me emotional, I know you're the best person to officiate our wedding.
Thank you for being our celebrant.🥰

Our wedding was fun, simple, and no unnecessary frills ,as what Adrian and I wanted in the first place.

Our guests enjoyed everything!
The weather, the view, the food, the ceremony (Everything!)
That day was sooo perfect!

It may sound exaggerated but that's how it feels.
And again thanks for officiating our union as husband and wife.
We're so happy that you guided us and you made things run smoothly.

Cheers and Thank you heaps,

From Mr. & Mrs. Asumbra
