Magnolia Supporting You - Bonnie Tainui Celebrant Services

05/03/2026

One of the hardest decisions that I have had to make but I am excited for the next chapter. Thank-you to all the vendors for all your support over the years especially to those of you who helped with my own wedding. Also to all the couples for having me as your celebrant. I am blessed to have been a part of such a supportive community ❤️

This is not the end for me in terms of business as I will still be running Magnolia Supporting You providing Therapy, Social Work Support, Business Mentoring and Professional Supervision. 🌸

Ngā Mihi Nui,

Huata Arahanga - Celebrant and MC

My husband and I were so lucky to have Huata as our celebrant at our Wedding in December. He was absolutely amazing, he helped to create a ceremony that truly reflected the essence of who we are as a couple, beautifully weaving in elements of Te Ao Māori and culture. Huata also makes a fantastic MC, he brought humour, fun and a touch of romance to our reception. We are so grateful to you Huata and 100% reccommend! ❤️
