Marriage Celebrant Queenstown

Unforgettable

This is your day, your ceremony and your marriage.

It should sound and feel like you.

I feel very fortunate to have shared one of the happiest days of couple’s lives, and being a marriage celebrant in this wonderful place that I have called home for over 30 years, where each ceremony is delivered from my heart.

I believe a wedding isn’t the dress, the photos, or even the rings … it’s the wedding ceremony, it sets the tone for everything else that follows on the day.

A great ceremony is an honest reflection of your feelings for each other, and the words you say to each other within your ceremony often matter more than all the other ‘stuff’ combined.

A thank you message from the heart

My heart has made its mind up

When locals Lauren and Tom asked me to officiate on their special day I was very excited and honoured. It was lovely to meet Laurens family who had travelled from the States and Tom's from the west coast. I confess to being worried about the pronunciation of many of...
