“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.
Short & Sweet Wedding Ceremony
The short and sweet wedding ceremony is a great option for couples who just want to “rock up” and get married, and complete the legal aspects of the union.
You can hold a registry ceremony at the registry office or a registry-type ceremony at a local community venue of your choice with an approved wedding celebrant. Some examples are: a beach, park, home, or garden.
Registry-type weddings have a standard ceremony format and a set celebrant fee of $90.
You can find more information on registry weddings here.
Please contact me to discuss your options for a short and sweet wedding ceremony.
BYO Vows Wedding Ceremony
The BYO Vows Wedding ceremony option is a great option for couples who want to have a beautiful and effortless wedding ceremony with personal elements embedded throughout.
The BYO wedding ceremony will enable you to pick from one of my pre-written ceremonies with you providing your own vows, karakia (prayer), poem and ring exchange.
An initial meeting may be held either online via Zoom or at a location convenient to us both. This meeting is to capture the finer details of your vision for your wedding.
Once this is completed, you can sit back and relax, and trust that your wedding ceremony will be officiated exactly as agreed.
