In two weeks it’s back to the mountains, and back to the “I do’s” for me!

I’m not going to lie, I’m gutted my two-month adventure with the family is over, but there’s no better way to return than by helping incredible couples tie the knot in beautiful Queenstown.

Thanks in advance to all of the lovely people who I know are going to soften the blow of those post holiday blues!

Cheers Jen for capturing me in my element (and thanks for letting me tag !)

A magical, moody day I’ll never forget - celebrating Brooke and Carmen’s love in the remote and beautiful Rees Valley.

Jacob & Liv 🤍

Two absolute sweethearts who had the perfect day they absolutely deserved.

It’s always such a pleasure to work with such kind and welcoming couples like these two - thank you!

I often think to myself that being a celebrant on an adventure elopement is like being the ultimate third wheel - it’s great!!

Yeah yeah yeah it’s absolutely all about you guys, and for sure I’m there to make sure that your ceremony is a perfect reflection of that. BUT, if you wanted to take a ‘this would be our album cover’ photo, just saying, I’m down for it…

Sarah & Alex were an absolute delight to marry, and I had just as much fun tagging along on their adventure afterwards too - especially when we tried to ‘act cool’ on this here mountain top.

What can I say… Its a tough job!

Talk about an AISLE!

Karen & Daniel’s mountaintop wedding really was something special, and Coromandel Peak is a fantastic spot to bring along a few extras to add to the celebrations 🎉

So here’s the deal—I’m not just here to marry you, I can also be your go-to MC for the rest of the day!

No need to worry about putting the pressure on friends or family to take over the mic. I’ve got it covered. I’m all about keeping things relaxed, on time, and running smoothly, with minimal talking (I won’t waffle on) and maximum good vibes.

Whether it’s guiding the flow of the day or making sure everyone’s having a blast, you can trust me to keep things stress-free. Let me take care of the details, so you and your guests can just enjoy the celebrations!
