Recently engaged?
Beginning to think about the wedding, big or small, simple or more elaborate, or should you just elope? Not sure where to start, let me help.

I am a member of Celebrants Aotearoa New Zealand based in South Canterbury & happy to travel.
In the last 6 years I have officiated at weddings in the back yard (big & small), at the family BBQ, the rose gardens at Caroline Bay, Timaru Botanical Gardens, Stonebridge - Weddings and Events Rosa Wines, Claremont Castle, in the snow at Lake Oahu and many more.
I can help you make your dream ceremony come true, personal & unique or as simple as you, me & two witnesses. All whilst ensuring the legal paperwork is correct & complete.

If you are looking for a warm, friendly and easy going celebrant give me a call or text on 0276753843 or email me on [email protected]. The initial contact will cost you nothing but time.
