YOUR CEREMONY, YOUR WAY

My aim is to provide every couple with a unique ceremony that you and your guests will remember. Approaching the whole process with a personal and fresh approach, I like to create a ceremony that has the whole mix of emotions; fun, laughter, nostalgia, excitement, and of course a bit'a'love!

WHERE TO BEGIN!?

Before we set anything in stone, let me know about what your planning for your big day. Ideally we can meet in person but if that isn't an option Skype and Face-time are a great way to meet face to face and ensure that I'm the celebrant your looking for!

If after that initial meeting, if you are happy to move forward, we will confirm your date and can begin the ceremony creating!

USEFUL INFORMATION
FOR OUR INITIAL MEETING:

- Wedding date.
- Ceremony location.
- Guests numbers.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Creating a unique and amazing ceremony is the goal, and in order to achieve that I will call on you to provide the quirkier details of who you are as individuals, as a couple, and how you interact with your friends and family.

Whether it be your mutual love for wombats, or your adorable selection of pet names - every couple has something unique and special that makes life a joy when you're together.

There aren't any rules to your ceremony, so don't be shy. Let me know what appeals and what doesn't, what you love, and what you think just isn't right for you. In the end you will have a ceremony just right to share with each other and your loved ones.

Let me know what you love, what you share, and those you hold dear; tell me your story so that I can mold it into something special that culminates in the joining of two lives in the awesomeness of marriage.

THE OFFICIAL STUFF

Let me take some stress of your shoulders and keep you on track when it comes to the not-so-exciting stuff such as the paperwork. Although my fee doesn't cover the license costs, I am more than happy to provide reminders and help you get the paperwork you need on time and in the right order.

If your wedding day is less than three months away, you can apply for a New Zealand marriage license online right now at https://marriages.services.govt.nz/

REHEARSAL

Rehearsals are only necessary for ceremonies involving a large wedding party - they are a great way to ensure everyone is confident and clear about what they need to do, what to expect, and where they need to stand on the day. If you want to lock in a rehearsal, let me know as soon as possible.

WRITING VOWS

Don't overthink it! Just consider that it's one of the biggest days of your life - what would you like to say?

With a wealth of helpful resources and plenty of examples you won't be short on inspiration to get you going, and it's a great way of making your ceremony that bit more personal!

Not wanting to write your own vows? That's OK too!

HAPPY TO HELP

Although I am your celebrant and primarily focused on making the ceremony awesome, I am also a longtime Queenstown local. With plenty of knowledge about other weddings vendors, fantastic locations, and everything else Queenstown has to offer, I'm always on hand if you need any help or suggestions.
