"Can we talk about these two lovebirds?! Their intimate wedding was filled with all the feels, and WOW—our bride was absolutely glowing in that breathtaking dress! 😍 And let’s not forget the groom, who cleaned up pretty well himself! Such a dreamy day!"

Review from my couple 🫶
Couldn't have found a better person to be with us on our special day! Her energy was unmatched. She made sure the day ran so smoothly and tailored everything perfectly to fit our quirky little wedding. Highly recommend this wonderful woman!

I just love opening my emails and hearing from my couples, makes me do a happy dance 💃💕

Hi Debbie,
Thank you so much for making our ceremony so relaxed, meaningful and at times funny. You were the perfect it fit for us and we really appreciate it.
The rest of the day was magic, the reception was a lot of fun and the families all appreciated getting together. We couldn't be happier with how the day went!
Once again, many thanks from us.
Trudi and Andrew ###

Review ❤
Hubby and I got married a couple of days ago and we had the lovely Debbie as our celebrant. I had a month to plan our wedding and Debbie was so much help. We had a small one which meant we were able to go with the elopement package Debbie has to offer which made everything so much easier and they were all so lovely as well. Debbie is easy to communicate with and is such a sweety. Loved her work 🖤

What an absolute blast of a day, and let's talk about this phenomenal couple! After a globe-trotting journey to escape the winter blues, they landed right here in Tauranga to declare their "I do, without a doubt." 🫶

Seriously, Duncan and Sharon, you guys are just awesome. Officiating for a couple so deeply in love and vibing with them is the ultimate joy! Thank you both for letting me be a part of your extraordinary day—I'm beyond grateful to have shared in the magic of it all. Cheers to love, laughter, and a lifetime of incredible moments! 🎉💕

December marked an exuberantly joyous day for Bridget and Dylan as they embarked on their backyard wedding adventure at 'Aunty Lynne's house' and it seems like this place is transforming into the family's go-to venue.

Surrounded by a fantastic blend of family love and a stellar support crew, they sealed the deal. Huge congratulations to the dynamic duo– you've set the bar high for backyard celebrations! 🫶

Hey Debz,
Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day. We had lots of people asking us if you knew us and we think it made such a positive difference already having that past relationship with you. D&B

Oh, brace yourself for this love-soaked adventure! These lovebirds didn't let a little rain dampen their spirits; in fact, I'm convinced they were on a date with sunshine in their hearts 🫶

They were so wrapped up in each other that I bet they thought the raindrops were confetti falling from the sky!

A round of applause for Nick & Claire! May your love be unstoppable, forever playful, full of joy, and surrounded by warmth.

Wishing you a lifetime of shared laughter, sunny days, and a love that's more unmissable than a rainbow after the storm. Congratulations! 🌈💖

In the enchanting chapel overlooking Lake Rotorua at On the Point - Lake Rotorua, Simon and Paula exchanged their vows. The breathtaking views seemed almost too good to be true, but as they said "We do," the scenery wasn't the only thing taking our breath away. Cheers and jubilant celebration ensued, marking the start of their beautiful journey together ❤

From my lovely couple 🫶
I can’t rate this lovely soul highly enough. It’s clear from her other reviews that she knows how to tune in to couples’ needs and get the energy level just right. Great communication from the preparation to beyond the wedding and impeccable sense of timing. Her warm, calm, genuine nature and sense of humour touched everybody at the ceremony. Debz, our wedding was perfect..and so were you. Thank you so much.

Who’s the lucky one!!!! That would be me!!!! 🫶
Such a elegant & intimate wedding day for J+C with their special people to witness the beginning of their next chapter as husband & wife 💕

We were lucky to have Debz as our celebrant for our small, intimate wedding (14 guests) in October 23. We found Debz to be a pleasure to deal with, she quickly picked up on what we were looking for and shaped the ceremony to suit. She gave us ideas and helped us through the parts we weren’t so sure about and the day went perfectly. I highly recommend Debz to anyone looking to get married.

Now this is why I absolutely love being part of a couples special day. I definitely get all the feels every single time 🫶

We were lucky enough to have Debbie be our celebrant for our wedding 07th Oct 2023. After having a celebrant lined up for over a year who cancelled 3months out for personal reasons, Debbie jumped in and saved my sanity. She was just amazing through the entire process and answered all my questions and settled my nerves! The humour and laughs she brought to the ceremony made it so memorable. We could not have had a better person by our side on the day, and we cannot thank her enough!!!

Venue was the stunning The Red Barn

Review: We used Debbie for our wedding in September 2023. Debbie was fantastic and insured the ceremony went smoothly. She was right there beside us if we needed her on the day and helped keep our nerves calm. She entertained the guests as well and everyone had a laugh. We had so many people giving us great feedback from her on the day and said she was great :)
Debbie took a personalise interest in our wedding and put personal touches throughout our ceremony. The ceremony went amazing and by having the personal touches it really made it feel that little bit more special.
You can tell she enjoys her job and she wanted to make our day the best day ever.
Debbie was always an email away if we needed any help with anything especially when writing our own vows to each other.
Definitely highly recommend Debbie :) 💒

It's always awesome to return to Ataahua. The gardens were on point – so green and vibrant. These two lovebirds did their wedding their own cool way – no big bridal party, an early wrap-up, and they went for a tart instead of the traditional cake. It was a blast! Big shoutout to all the vendors who always hustle to make things happen: you guys rock!
