Now and forever
This is one of the most important days in your life - a special time when you make the transition from single life to that of a married couple.

Your marriage, in the presence of your family and friends, is far more than just a formal and legal commitment to each other.

I offer a wealth of experience to help you enjoy this special day.

My role is to help you develop a ceremony that is right for you in every way, reflecting your love, values and personalities in a meaningful way. Above all, you can feel confident in the knowledge that your service will be a special, memorable occasion for you and your guests.

I have nearly 20 years experience as a Justice of the Peace and Marriage Celebrant. Every wedding is unique no matter whether it is large or small or held in a church, garden or on the beach.

One wedding service I will never forget was when the bride and groom chose to surprise everyone. The guests were invited to a birthday party, and during the evening the announcement was made that a wedding ceremony was about to commence, that they would be witness too!

What I offer

• Personal consultation
• Resources to help plan your service
• Preparation of a unique service that we have developed together
• Liaise with the MC
• Liaise with the venue organiser
• Arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the service, to ensure the groom and groomsmen are as relaxed as possible and enjoying themselves. This often includes pinning on the flowers and reminding them to breathe!
• Check the best man has the rings
• Ensure the sound system is working (if one is being used)
• Support people who are participating in the service
• Conduct the ceremony in a professional and friendly manner, speaking clearly and articulately
• Provide copy of the marriage certificate to the couple during the service, and forward second copy to the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. (Copies in the future are available from that department).
• If requested, l can provide a special copy of the wedding service.
• I can officiate outside the greater Auckland area (travelling expenses apply).
• In some instances, naming ceremonies at a later date!
