The Rainbow Celebrant Andi

The Rainbow Celebrant Andi I love conducting ceremonies for ALL people incl. my beloved LGBTTQIA+ I'm 'The Rainbow Celebrant'. I’m flexible & can dress to suit your occasion or theme.

I believe ceremonies are a powerful conduit for connecting people with each other in a meaningful way. I create & conduct unique, impactful, memorable ceremonies that truly reflect you. *See below for list of ceremonies

I’ll draw on my experience to guide you with ideas that compliment your vision and any plans you may have. If you’re unsure what to incorporate or where to start, options will be

discussed and together we’ll work out what resonates with you. I own a wide range of costumes & as ‘The Rainbow Celebrant’ I also have full rainbow regalia! Of course I also wear the contemporary fashion of today. The clothing aspect is always about what you want to have happen & I’m open and glad to accommodate your wishes around dress-code. You’re in safe hands. As a validated member of Celebrants Aotearoa (CANZ), I’m bound by professional ethics and standards and am covered by Indemnity Insurance (which is required at some venues). Ceremonies/Services I offer include:
 Marriages & Elopements: Personalised, Registry or Civil Union
 Vow Renewals
 Funerals
 Memorials/ Commemorations
 Consulting help for Funerals/Memorials
 LGBTIQ+ Ceremonies/Celebrations
 Pet Farewells
 Anniversaries
 Birthdays
 Baby Name Giving
 House/Space Cleansing Rituals
 Compere (MC)
 Milestones: Gaining a Qualification, 1st Home, Going Overseas…etc

I'm lucky to have references/testimonials from very happy clients & I'd be pleased to share these with you when you contact me.

I felt very honoured to conduct the Funeral Service for one of our beloved Trans trailblazers; Rochelle CHERIE Hardie-Rippon on Weds 20th August. In the 1970's she was one of the first in Aotearoa to have surgery and she proudly lived her life 'out' at a time when our society was highly ignorant, phobic & violent without the protection of law or human rights. Being authentically herself, she paved the way for many to follow her example. S&M's Cocktail Bar was the perfect venue for her final farewell as she loved a party. Moe mai rā Cherie - Rest in Peace ❤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Happy Valentine's Day lovers! ❤ Today some will send a 'Valentine' card/note to a secret crush or celebrate romantically with their companions. Others (myself included) don't get into the commercialism...every day holds an opportunity for love; self-love and/or love for another. If the mood strikes and you happen to 'Pop the Question' ❤ I'm here for you as your marriage Celebrant whether you're straight or LGBTTQIA+ 🌈 ❤ 🧡💛💚💙💜🩷 (pink heart added for good measure!😁)

We all want Aotearoa New Zealand to be a place where everyone can thrive. Certainly a place where survivors of abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions can thrive. We know that what has happened to the estimated 250,000 vulnerable adults, children, and babies is a “national ...
