Frequently Asked Questions


Can we marry on a Sunday?
Yes! You can marry any day of the week at any hour of the day or night. Some couples choose to marry on Christmas Day or at midnight on New Year’s Eve. There are no restrictions on when to marry.

Can we get married on the ocean?
Yes, as long as it is in New Zealand waters. I have married a couple on a fishing boat, a couple of hours from shore. On their paperwork I wrote the address of the ceremony in coordinates of latitude and longitude.


Could you marry us in Fiji or Rarotonga?
No, legally I can only marry couples in New Zealand, in NZ waters or in NZ air space. However, I could marry you in a legal ceremony in NZ (e.g. a Registry wedding) then come with you to Fiji to run a celebration ceremony there. I did that for a couple who wanted me to marry them in Portugal!

I am really scared of public speaking. Do I have to say vows?
 Yes
