“Kia hora te marino; kia whakapapa pounamu te moana; kia tere te karohirohi i mua i tou huarahi.”
“May the calm be widespread; may the surface of the ocean glisten like the greenstone; and may the shimmer of summer dance across your path forever.”
Pūtea (Finances)
Whānau, if these packages don’t quite fit within your budget but you feel I’m the right celebrant for you, please don’t be whakama (shy) to reach out. I never want money to be the reason you miss out on a beautiful ceremony. Let’s kōrero and see how we can make it work within your means, while still creating something truly special without compromising the beauty or mana of your ceremony.
BYO Vows Wedding Ceremony
Price: $390
The BYO Vows Wedding ceremony option is a great option for couples who want to have a modest (i.e. fewer than 50 guests) yet beautiful and effortless wedding ceremony with personal elements embedded throughout.
The BYO wedding ceremony allows you to pick from one of my pre-written ceremony scripts while adding your own vows, karakia (prayer), poem or ring exchange to make it truly personal to you.
An initial kōrero – either online or kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) – to capture your vision and ensure that every detail of your ceremony reflects who you are as a couple.
After that, you can sit back, relax, and trust that your wedding ceremony will be officiated with aroha, care, and in the exact manner we planned together.
Extras Included:
1) My portable microphone and speaker set is available for use, if needed.
2) Travel without mileage fee for weddings held in or near the Franklin region. Additional mileage fee may apply for travel outside this general area.
