Full personalised & stress free ceremony - $595
This package includes a two-hour face to face meeting with you both to enable me to craft a ceremony unique to you, catering to all of your wants. I will send you a reflection questionnaire prior to the meeting which will help me to create your love story, a reflection on each other and the legalities/readings/blessings. This ceremony is unique to you and sets the scene for the evening ahead, i.e. relaxed, fun, formal, the ceremony is in ‘your words’. I give you lots of ideas on the ceremony and help enable you to write your wedding vows.
I’m available at any time to work together, including another face to face catch up before your big day for any last minute advice or changes. I am at your rehearsal, the officiating of your wedding day and then send off the official paperwork.
I spend as much time as you need with me from the point of you confirming me as your celebrant to the big day itself. There are many conversations had along the way. Often couples don’t know what they don’t know so you will benefit from my many transferable skills, creativity and down to earth nature.
Total time 12 - 15 hours. I do not charge for travel time.
A tailor made ceremony costs $695.00. Off peak discount can apply, just get in touch.
Elopement /
Simple stress free Ceremony - $395
This includes a face to face/zoom meeting to establish rapport and offer tips, tricks, advice.
The elopement/simple stress free ceremony is scripted by my creativity based on reflection questions. You choose your vows, with a little bit of help from me. There is no rehearsal, you turn up on the day, it’s stress free and I officiate your ceremony. Before you know it you may kiss your bride or groom, I send off the paperwork and you are officially married. The perfect option for small and intimate ceremonies. An option if you are looking for an outside venue is to have it at my place.
An elopement/simple ceremony costs $395. Note distances that are further than 30km from home, I need to charge travel.
Registry style wedding - $195
Registry wedding - $90
If you are looking to get married in around 10-15 minutes, where you turn up with your other half, two witnesses and a small party of guests to say ‘I do’ and celebrate, this is your perfect option. There is no rehearsal, the ceremony and marriage vows are already written.
As at February 2020, registry weddings are now officiated by a Verified Celebrant of Celebrants Aotearoa and is approved by Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM). They used to be held in the registry office. I am one of those Celebrants. You turn up with your two witnesses Monday to Friday between 9am - 5pm. I officiate the ceremony from a set script from BDM.
I can also offer up my private backyard with water views as the backdrop if you need a venue.
Apply for a marriage licence through Births, deaths and marriages - cost is $150.00
NOTE: my full bespoke and elopement prices don’t often increase as I officiate ceremonies as I love doing this and feel really privileged to be a part of your day.
