Congratulations Caitlyn and Josiah.
We know there are a lot of decisions to make, arrangements to organize and people to manage in order to make your wedding day memorable for all the right reasons.
You might be considering which venue to choose? How many guests to invite? What colour scheme suits us? What should we wear? Who’s going to do the catering? The flowers? The photos? How much to spend?
In your list of key decisions will also be your celebrant - they are the heart and start of your wedding day.
To create an event that’s relaxed and remembered rather than stressful and overwhelming takes a little preparation and information. It doesn’t need to be daunting.
To help you get started, here are our five wedding prep tips.

Your wedding day is arguably one of the most stressful days of your life. Months of planning, all coming together.
The dress, the timing, walking down the aisle, speeches and vows, not to mention having all your loved ones together watching YOU get married.
Luckily, there are ways you can prepare to avoid stress on your wedding day!
Read the 5 ways you can avoid stress on your wedding day here: https://www.celebrantsaotearoa.co.nz/blog/avoiding-stress-on-your-wedding-day/
A marriage celebrant is a vital part of your wedding day. Not only is a marriage celebrant necessary to perform a legal marriage, but in many instances, couples who choose celebrant-led weddings have a desire for a more personal ceremony, one that reflects who they are.
That’s why couples spend so much time finding the right marriage celebrant: someone they can relate to, someone who fits their preferences, and someone they like.
When you meet with a potential marriage celebrant for the first time, it’s a good idea to have a list of questions prepared, to help you gauge a better understanding of who they are and whether or not you’re the right fit for each other.
If you’re not sure what questions to ask, use the 5 questions on our blog ‘five things to ask your celebrant’ here: https://www.celebrantsaotearoa.co.nz/blog/5-questions-to-ask-your-marriage-celebrant/
