I’m a Tauranga-based marriage and funeral celebrant, and this space is where I share the things I’ve learned along the way. From ceremony trends I’m seeing, to practical advice, vendor insights, and ideas that help make ceremonies more meaningful, this blog is here to support you — whether you’re planning a wedding, a farewell, or something in between.

You can no longer get married in a courthouse or Registry Office in New Zealand. The Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages has given these wedding ceremonies to people like myself who are Verified Members of the Celebrants Association of Aotearoa NZ (CANZ).
