I love this pic for several reasons. It was a gorgeous location, Sunshine-soaked day, stunning model, and quintessential dress.

My Hometown is Rotorua. I was raised, educated, met my High School love, and married there.

So, while I travel the breadth of the Country for wedding soirees, it's always a pleasure being part of a couples wedding day in Rotorua.

It also never ceases to amaze me how I encounter engaged couples. In this case, I met this Groom-to-be during a tragic time in our lives as a family.

He happened to be the Police Officer in attendance at the motor vehicle accident scene of my Father-In-Law 2 years ago in Rotorua.

As someone who grew up in a single parent household, my Father-In-Law became the "Dad"
I never had.

Sadly, Dad passed away as a result of his injuries within days following the accident.

I count it a special privilege to soon be penning the opening lines in a new chapter in the lives of this young Man and his Bride-to-be as they
cho💍se each other forever in the presence of those dearest to them.

THANK YOU J & S for cho💍sing me to share in your beautiful wedding day occasion as both your officiating Celebrant and MC.

Lookin' forward to venturin' to the beautifully appointed Tironui Wedding Venue next month.

We've been sooo flat out with wedding soirees I realised I'd missed acknowledging a couple along the way.
The only thing better than being part of a couples gorgeous wedding event is being able to do it with my powerhouse partner in business and love - Valeta J. Duncan Wedding Celebrant/Planner/MC.
While I get to be the MC* (*Master of Ceremonies) Valeta will serve as Wedding Day Coordinator.
Thank you N & G for cho💍sing Valeta and I to be part of you 'big day'. Not long to now and wedding bells will be ringin'!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️REVIEW
It’s not often you discover two treasures in the same spot. But that’s what happened!

First, I had the privilege of marrying Kelly & Jas, who share a love which is both authentic and captivating.

Then, in the same day I discovered their gorgeous wedding venue of choice - Mayward Homestead, 880 Whakamarama Rd, Tauranga.

This stunning wedding destination with carefully chosen fauna and flora and gorgeous pieces strategically placed throughout the property is a MUST SEE!

Thank you 🙏 Kelly & Jason for trusting your wedding ceremony and reception to me. Totes loved your love and energy!

It goes without sayin' I consider it a genuine privilege to play a small role (or a BIG one ;)) in the marriage milestone of two Humans who
cho💍se each other forever!

A pic from Friday’s ‘ring-in-rehearsal’ courtesy of the official Photographer “Biggles”.
Since April 2020, a global pandemic, and contracting horrid Covid-19 🦠 we elected as a business to stop doing Face-to-Face wedding rehearsals and engage instead with clients ‘virtually’ via facetime (or “zoomies”).
This serves to protect our gorgeous ‘nearly weds’ from any unnecessary risk of becoming sick (and vice versa) leading into their most special of days.
Thanks “Biggles” for being such a fun player at yesterdays gorgeous VR Rotorua Lake Resort wedding celebration 🍾 🥂with th even more fabulous (newlyweds) Mr & Mrs Storrar-Soffe.

🎙WHY CH🔎OSING AN MC IS IMPORTANT:
Here's 3 REASONS why a seasoned MC* (*Master of Ceremonies), can often-times be a great choice versus 'Uncle Bob' who might get just a little bit too "tipsy" after a few Beers too many, then crack into sharin' family secrets, pull Skeletons outta the Closet, or tell a few jokes which should never see the light of day!

THANK YOU FOR CH💍OSING ME TOO
Really excited to be CONFIRMED as officiating Celebrant for this fabulous couples Labour Weekend wedding date in 2024, hosted at the gorgeous tranquility of Rosenvale.
