Based in the beautiful seaside town of Whangamata in the Coromandel, where we have a variety of local venues available to suit your style. I will also travel to other locations by arrangement.

I am licensed to perform both marriages and civil unions.

As a Validated member of the Celebrants’ Association I can also conduct Registry Office ceremonies.

Member of the Celebrants' Association of New Zealand (VCANZ); Bachelor of Arts, Auckland University; Diploma of Teaching (Sec); Diploma in Proofreading & Editing.

I believe in marriage!

I love being a celebrant.

I’m caring and empathetic.

I’m great with words (my other job is freelance proofreader and editor).

I’m totally reliable, and will never keep you waiting for a response. ‘Organised’ is my middle name!

The first person to turn up to your wedding ceremony is often me – usually an hour before kick-off, just to make sure everything’s ok. I do the worrying so you don’t have to!

I like to laugh, and to see the lighter side of life, but I also believe that a wedding is a solemn occasion, which can be embellished with some humour and a light touch. However, I am also mindful that you are the stars of the show, not me.

There is no one-size-fits-all ceremony. I will write your ceremony especially for you.

I offer non-religious ceremonies, but am happy to incorporate elements that are meaningful and relevant to your life, culture and beliefs.
