Just because summer has passed doesn't mean you have to wait until the next one for your wedding. Aston Norwood Gardens in Kaitoke are looking awesome right now.

This morning I had a lovely time taking a Baby Naming ceremony for a sweet little girl whose parents I had previously married.
We had an activity where her whanau and friends wrote her notes for her future to be framed so when she grows up she will know she was welcomed and loved.

At the wedding at Zealandia yesterday the couple had a lovely idea to involve the children present. Instead of throwing a bouquet they had a couple of soft toys to throw. The children loved it.

A beautiful but windy day today at Zealandia for a wedding. The clouds cleared and the sun came out just at the right time.

It was a beautiful sunny day in Wellington today for a wedding at Foxglove on the waterfront. The groom made this arch himself and after today it’s going to have a new home in his garden.

I’m off to a BBQ with friends but might be home asleep before midnight

✨🌍 New Year’s Eve Around the World 🌍✨

As the clock ticks toward midnight, communities everywhere mark the turning of the year in spectacular ways. From the Times Square ball drop in New York City with its dazzling Waterford crystal sphere, to Sydney’s iconic fireworks over the Harbour Bridge, one of the first major displays to light up the sky, each celebration carries its own magic.

In little old Whangārei, Darcie and family will be putting on their usual New Years Eve umu with a dress up theme of Zodiac Signs this year.

No matter where you are, New Year’s Eve is a moment to play in the sun and warm evenings, pause from the hustle and bustle of life, acknowledge what has been and look forward to what could be.

How do you celebrate? Share your traditions below — we’d love to hear how you welcome the new year!

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and a safe and happy New Year. January and February 2026 are filling up but I still have a few gaps if you are looking for a summer wedding or civil union.

Note Births,Deaths and Marriages are closed from 25 December till 7 January and a licence application takes 3 working days. If you have any questions you can message me.

In my spare time I'm also a potter. It's the last weekend of the Gear Homestead Woolshed Potters Christmas sale in Porirua, Wellington. If you are still on the hunt for a unique locally made gift come down and have a browse.

The best feedback I get after a ceremony is “That is exactly what we wanted”
