Whaea Judy - Maori Celebrant

16/04/2025

If you know me you know how much I love a vow renewal. Marnie and Aaron flew over from home to renew their vows in Surfers Paradise. It was a beautiful intimate ceremony with their children, their Moko, and 2 of their dear friends. Marnie and I overcame our vertigo on the 14th floor balcony, and did what needed to be done. Thanks for having me guys and enjoy the rest of your stay before you travel home. Nga mihi ###x

Thanks Tanya and Tim for having me on Saturday. This was a suprise wedding. It flowed beautifully. I don’t think too many people were surprised. As the MC said “worst kept secret”…..
Just thought I’d share Tanya’s message.

Hi Judy,
Tim and I would like to thank you so much for your services.
You did such a fantastic job. Tim’s whanau were so happy that you had woven our cultures together.
Many people commented on how amazing our ceremony was.
Much appreciated.

Kia Ora whanau
I believe I'm long overdue for another uplifting and shameless plug of my mahi. If you, or anyone you know is engaged and seeking a Maori Celebrant, well, here I am whanau. If you're yearning for a bit of home, I'm here for that too. I can also help you unwind and let go of that stress. Let's be real, it's your big day, so just focus on having a blast and celebrating you. You can track me down at Judy Netana - Serene Events

Before this years ends, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to all of the beautiful couples who have allowed me to play such a special role in their special day. I’m very blessed and grateful to have such awesome clients. I can honestly say that it is always a pleasure to facilitate your weddings. Some of you I would happily call friends if we met in a social environment. Some of you I wouldn’t be able to keep up with 🤣. Would’ve been a different story back in the day….
So to everyone I have ever married, I hope 2024 was good to you. I hope you and your whanau were blessed. And I wish for you good health, peace, and happiness for 2025.

Nga mihi me to aroha nui.
(I’m sorry I didn’t get photos of everyone. But please and me some if you have them. )
