the process
Phone/email/text me to see if I am available on your wedding date.
​If you haven't decided on your date yet, feel free to ring and see what dates I have available.

Meet me over a coffee at a local cafe, or I can come to your house, so you can meet me and see if I am the celebrant for you. If you are outside of the Wellington - Levin area we can skype.
If you decide I am the one for your amazing wedding, we book in the date and start getting the details.
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.

In our planning meeting I ask a ton of questions to set the structure of your ceremony - we talk about music, microphones, traditions you want included, and who is walking down the aisle as well as many other details.
I have lots of tips and tricks to make your ceremony flow smoothly, and have lots of options that I put to you to ensure you're aware of what things can be included.
Then we talk about what sort of ceremony you want - romantic, short and sweet, humorous, traditional or a mixture of everything! Some couples prefer a beautiful pre-written ceremony to give them one less thing to think about and I have lots of options for you to choose from. Other couples prefer to have a personalised service with the option to write their own vows. We can chat over which options suit you and how I can help.
I send through your ceremony for you to approve - we go back and forth editing it until it is perfect for you both.
I happily help as required with vow writing.
Up until the wedding we keep in contact and I am only ever a phone call away if details change, or things need amending. I email reminders to ensure you get your wedding licence and have written your vows if you have chosen to do so.

A rehearsal is included in my fee and is highly recommended. It ensures everyone is set for the big day - we can have individual practices of your vows if you wish to keep them as a surprise. Ask your photographer to come along so they can work out which angles work best for your photos of the ceremony. A rehearsal calms a lot of the nerves you feel as you can be confident everything will run smoothly.
On your wedding day I pop in to see the bride before your service, before heading to the venue. I check that the microphone and music are working. I calm nerves and seat grandparents, coo at babies and then make my way to the front.
I lead your ceremony, help you through your vows and then joyfully announce your newly joined status!
I am responsible for making sure you are legally wed, so I ensure all paperwork is completed by you and your two witnesses as part of the ceremony and send it off to Birth, Deaths and Marriages.
