I'm all about
Central Otago & beyond Congratulations, you're engaged! I am young, creative and happy to marry any happy couple.
(11)

And now that you're looking
for a celebrant for your wedding day, let me tell you about me. I will spend time getting to know the two of you so I can write a
personalised ceremony for your special day, and on your wedding
day do my job as celebrant professionally, confidently and with
feeling. I spent 10 years learning to use my voice professionally, working in radio writing and voicing ads an

d reading news. Now I get to write and conduct marriage ceremonies for happy couples in beautiful South Island locations. I look forward to getting to know you, giving you the opportunity to get to know me, and most of all I'm honoured you're considering letting me play a part in your wedding day. For pricing details and more information about me, please message me for a chat, or visit my website https://hannahlindmarriagecelebrant.com

I know it's frustrating when I won't give you a straight answer to 'what's the weather like in October/ August/ February?'

But this is why. It's October 26th and it's been snowing for hours. It was 21 degrees yesterday.

Even in Central Otago, about the furthest you can get from an ocean, we're subject to the fickle nature of the weather in the South Pacific.

I can tell you what's likely, but prepare to be surprised!

Last weekend the package Andy Brown Photography Skylark Floral Stylist Domaine Thomson Make up & Hair by Charlie oswin The Kitchen Garden Central Otago and I put together was auctioned.

Looking forward to working with the couple who made the winning bid.

And could not be happier knowing our package contributed to the massive total Rotary Club of Cromwell - Est 1979 raised to go towards a Ronad McDonald House in Dunedin

Tekapo on a sunny, windy day.

🌞 = perfect!
Windy = not the plan!

We're moving S&J's ceremony indoors and afterwards spectacular photographer Chris will take them off to secluded, sheltered, beautiful spots to get photos featuring the views you come to Tekapo for.

It might not be plan A, but I (and the vendors I love working with) will always make sure plan B C D E or F is magic too!

Today G&S said I do at beautiful, dramatic Mt Cook Station in the MacKenzie Country.

Their families joined them from as close as Cromwell and as far away as Germany and Wales and they got married in a majestic spot (photographer Chris' photos will be much better than mine!)

Everybody is staying on site between the boutique B&B suite and the rustic comfortable Shearers Quarters.
And they'll be celebrating a beautiful relationship with love, food and company into the night together.

I love the MacKenzie Country for its beauty, its moody drama, and because it's part of my story - we made Fairlie home for 7 years. So I'm always delighted to get to visit.

Ask about travel to Mt Cook Station

Who am I outside of 'Hannah the celebrant'?

Well, I'm pretty much exactly the same person, but I swear more.

I spend a lot of my life in activewear (and some of it actually being active)

I love living in Central Otago and having Maniatoto on the doorstep, but miss the lush green of Southland.

I LOVE stories (yes that is one of the main reasons I love my job as celebrant), but spend a lot of time deep in cosy crime worlds (hello Thursday Murder Club and Brokenwood Mysteries).

I would describe myself as an extroverted introvert. I love people time, I need it every day, especially good conversations, but my social battery runs out after a while and I need to go back to just being in my own company.

I met my husband 25 years ago and we've been married for 18, we have a wide range of stupid (often inappropriate) in-jokes and we both know how lucky we are.

I have two kids, two cool girls who mostly get along despite being very different people. Sound familiar ?

Bring me chocolate and I'll be your friend for life xx

Sound like someone you could spend some time with?

Who's involved in a Best Kept all inclusive Elopement or Intimate Wedding Package?

Well in the 7 years we've been here I've met a lot of lovely, kind, talented professionals doing a spectacular job across all sorts of fields.

Here's an idea of who might play a part in your package.

Me - I'm the celebrant and planner
Andy Brown - he's a fab photographer (you'll see a lot of his work in my Insta and Facebook feeds)
Charlie Oswin - a lovely hair AND make up artist with so much experience in weddings as well as corporate and TV and film work
Skylark Florist Stylist - Tracey is a Floral magician!
The Kitchen Garden - my favourite local caterer and private chef Gabi

It won't always be these folk. Sometimes these lovelies will already be booked, but they're a really good example of the level of professionalism, talent and calm kindness I seek out in everybody I work with to bring together a low stress all-inclusive elopement or intimate wedding.

Looking for a local Central Otago photographer? Meet Lisa Hill (well nearly, she really doesn't like taking photos of herself!)

She's been photographing weddings around Central Otago for at least as long as I've been celebranting here (7 years +).

She's professional and takes great photos and is patient and kind and as a local has done some excellent exploring and come up with sweet as wedding day photography spots (like this one featuring Paula and Quentin on their wedding day).

Click on the link to her page below to see a lot more of what she does

Paula and Quentin wanted their wedding to be a celebration of their relationship and a reason for everybody they love to get together for a party.

They've made Cromwell their home and wanted to both celebrate close to home, and somewhere where their guests could all (if they chose to) stay onsite, as most don't call Central Otago home.

Their wedding day was a perfect Central Otago day, their ceremony and into the celebrations included what they loved, who and what was important to them and what made them feel comfortable.

That arch made by Quentin a representation of the local mountains, their musician a guest and good friend, and their ceremony short and sweet - so they could say what was important to them and then take a break from being the centre of attention asap.

This spot is the courtyard in the centre of the Harvest Hotel, a relaxed private spot in the middle of town. Other than leaving for some photos the whole thing was on site - ceremony, reception, accommodation.
And their day was captured by fabulous local photographer Lisa Hill.

What does your wedding your way look like in Central Otago?
I'd love to chat about how I can help make your plans a reality

You can choose to make the journey as important as the destination on your wedding day.

Kyah and Dominic chose to get married in their favourite spot in the Catlins. They adore everything about being here.

To make sure their guests took the time to see crossing the creek and walking over the sand as magnificent parts of the day rather than obstacles to be overcome to get to the only bit that matters, we walked as a group, nobody left behind.

When we got to the spot Kyah and Dominic stood to say I do, we took a minute to close our eyes and feel the sand under our feet, hear the waves and seabirds, to tie up the place and the journey with the ceremony.

Marriage isn't really about the destination either. It's not about the day it begins (as fun as that day is), nor is it about the day, for whatever reason, it ends. It's about the journey in the middle where you travel together through life. The stories, memories, laughs, moments, places and people you collect along the way.

Me just doing the job that needs doing looks different on any given day.

Because who the couple is, what's going on, how they've chosen to get married, is different every time.

Sometimes it's cuddling a sleepy baby so her parents can have some couple photos just the two of them.

Sometimes it's carrying all the bags and jackets from the helicopter so the couple and photographer can focus on getting the photos of 'wow we're getting married here!?!'

Sometimes it's helping to move chairs.

Sometimes it's offering my coat to someone who is used to a much warmer climate.

Sometimes it's a conversation or a hug or to taste test some chocolate.

But I always be there, doing the job that just needs doing

Booking a Best Kept Package doesn't have to mean booking it exactly as written. You can add things in or take them out as fits YOU (after all it's your wedding day)

For example if I was planning one for husband and I...
I would leave out getting my hair done (obvious reasons),
I would add in getting a brunch platter delivered (because breakfast food is the best)
And I'd ask for the best local recommendations for stand alone out of the way accommodation.

What would you include, and what isn't so important to you?

What I want for you when you come to me as either your celebrant or celebrant/ planner is that you know you can be 100% yourself.

Want to include skulls in your bouquet... fab!
Want to tie the knot somewhere with a ghostly presence... I'm on it!
Want to say I do in your togs then jump in the lake... I'm in!

A wedding day is about the two of you, it should be and include all the things that you love.

I love the personality Shan and Mark brought to their Central Otago elopement... and I'd love to celebrate your wedding with all the big and little things that mean the most to you!

No friendship is an accident (O. Henry)

I'm spending the weekend away with friends in relaxing Warrington.

We met when we found ourselves in the same life stage of life in the same small town.

That's what brought us together but knowing we are each other's people is what has kept our friendship strong through many moves and life changes.

Celebrating relationships is my favourite thing. And friendships are every bit as important, every bit as worthy of celebration as romantic relationships.

What do I bring to the table?

* A sense of calm. We will deal with whatever the day throws at us. I will do that by remaining calm, talking through what you want to do, and making that happen.
* Doing everything I can to mitigate that discomfort of being the centre of attention
* HEAPS of Central Otago knowledge - where, what, when, who, how? I got you
* Joy, an infectious laugh, loving what I'm doing
* Patient with kids. Just like the rest of us, they are who they are. And they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and we'll all be less stressed if we accept that.

If this sounds like a table you'd like to be at with me, get in touch we'll make a plan to chat!

I think the greatest compliment anyone could pay me is, 'that's Hannah she walks to the beat of her own drum' When it comes to doing what's important and feels right to me, I have zero regrets. So here we go! hannahlindcelebrant.nz [email protected] 027 384 7886 #yourweddingyourway #nzcelebrant

You get a beautiful wedding... but what you've bought is your time. Most importantly time spent with those you love the most instead of time spent running around getting everything done - because that's my job. Whether the people is each other or up to 28 of your nearest and dearest. hannahlindcelebrant.nz [email protected] 027 384 7886

The icing on the cake! Often couples ceremonies reflect how lucky they feel to get to do life with each other, a celebration of what they already have, and what marriage means to them. What does this look like for you? hannahlindcelebrant.nz [email protected] 027 384 7886

Those fun nosy questions they're about getting your story so I can write your ceremony for and about the two of you. But it's also about figuring out how to write your story - who are you as people, what language is appropriate, are you wanting fun and light hearted, sincere, or somewhere in between. I'd love to hear about your plans, talk about how I work and give you some solid recommendations for locals doing awesome wedding things.
