Tui-Emma - Celebrant, Te Awamutu (2025)

19/02/2025

As you can see, we had some great laughs during this ceremony.
I first met my couple at a local over a couple of drinks.
They told me the stories of their life adventures, how they were brought together and the things that make their hearts happy and their love continue to grow.
To my awesome couple - what a pleasure it was to be part of your special celebration. Thank you for welcoming me into your home to share your story of love and your commitment for your future together, with your most cherished people in attendance.
As your venture through your future as husband and wife, I wish you many days of happiness. May you always look at the other like they’re the only one in the room, may you always be the others confidant, safe space and travel buddy.
May there be many more glasses of sav shared while watching the sun set from Aotea. And may you submit and obey... Just kidding - that last part is an inside joke.
May you continue your adventure together for the rest of time.
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Hewlett!

Wow, this wedding slayed! (A word I’ve picked up courtesy of the bride and groom).
A beautiful afternoon at overlooking Lake Ōkareka, where an incredibly fun and loving couple exchanged “I do’s.”
To my couple - what a pleasure to work alongside you to create your ceremony. Such great banter and light hearted humour but also romance and the depth of the qualities you love and admire beyond those that bring laughter and fun.
Here’s to enjoying obnoxiously long hobbies and being kept on your toes with “sick” pranks. To being ready on time and to listening when the other needs to vent or making yourself scarce when the venting is about you.
Mostly, here’s to you, to a life together enjoying the special little moments, together and with the family you have created. To being a sanctuary and safe space for the other and to getting lost in big crazy dreams together.
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Ware!

What. A. Vibe.
I can't even begin to tell you how much fun these two were to work with. The brief was a super chill and fun ceremony that didn't take too long.
After surprising their birthday party guests with a wedding, we pretty much laughed our way through the ceremony and then everyone celebrated the night away.
To my awesome couple - thank you for choosing me to be your celebrant. Your cool, calm and humorous attitudes were a dream to work alongside.
Here's to 30 years around the sun, celebrated with marriage! Here's to love found at Keystone bar, to being the other biggest supporter, to listening to and understanding one another, valuing and respecting one another, to admiring freshly cut lawns and to watching reality TV with full enthusiasm.
Here's to a future filled with love and happiness. And maybe one day, some matching blue raincoats 😉
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs King!

Happy "first" Anniversary to these leap day lovers!
I'm reminiscing on an intimate garden ceremony, celebrating with their gorgeous children.

On Auckland Anniversary weekend, I married an awesome couple at Winery.
T and E were a hoot to get to know and work with to create their ceremony. Our first meeting saw a few hours pass at the local, discussing love, life and music.
To my beautiful couple - what a privilege it was to be part of your day and the beginning of your next chapter together. Through your future days, I wish you both and your lovely little family endless happiness and love.
Here's to love found down a Huntly alleyway. To finding comfort and stability in the hearts of each other. To together, enjoying the days filled with sunshine and on the days that life throws lemons, to toasting together with a glass of lemonade!
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Horvath!

Over the weekend, in the intimate gardens at , a stunning summer day shone on a stunning couple, sharing their story of love and their promises for their future.
This couple prepared beautiful heartfelt vows with a touch of humour and shared them so gracefully.
To my couple, thank you so very much for having me as part of your special day. May your journey of marriage be filled with many moments of happiness. Keep laughing together. Through the driest, darkest, and most fun of humours. Keep dreaming the grandest of dreams and encouraging and inspiring one another to fulfill them.
May there be many more moments to celebrate over Burger King and Champagne!
I wish you love beyond measure.
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Barlow!

Well.
Now..
Don't you tell me to smile,
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
My number's beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because we're so versatile.
OK, OK.. internal joke aside - this stunner couple recently eloped in Barcelona and without getting into the legalities of different countries and marriage registration, they had a quick NZ vow exchange and signing of paperwork last night, with thier families in attendance. Before a party celebration with their nearest and dearest.
This couple have so much charisma and vibrancy. It was a pleasure to be part of their unity in marriage.
I wish you crazy kids all the best in your future days as husband and wife. Don't ever stop being the wild, unique and loving duo that you are.
Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Noorland!

Brews, blooms and bridal parties!
Summer finally came to the party yesterday as we celebrated love in the rural Waikato.
I loved working with my couple to create their unique ceremony and sharing it with their awesome crew of family and friends.
To my beautiful couple - here's to love found under starlight. To fishing adventures and memories made in the great outdoors. To all the little gestures that fill your days with love.
Wishing you endless happiness.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Joy!

Looking forward to seeing the profesh pics from photography.

Over the weekend I officiated my final wedding for this 'season'.
What a way to wrap things up!!
I first met my couple over a few bevvies at the local, it was fun and relaxed. Their ceremony was exactly the same.
Perched above Ngarunui beach in the beautiful beachtown, Raglan - a ceremony area of simple elegance had been created. Like something from a movie.
As the autumn sun beamed down and the gentle sea breeze blew, we all shared a few laughes as they shared their promises.
To my beautiful couple, what a pleasure it was to be part of your wonderful day. Thank you. You share something so genuine, pure and natural. Through your future days may you always be charmed by the others humour, smitten by the others smile and captivated by the others compassion.
I wish you endless happiness and love.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Fulford!

Wow.. how impressive!?

Yesterday, in the beautiful Manawaru countryside at a stunning bride made her way down the aisle to her lovely beau and they united in marriage before their most favorite people. These two were so natural to work with, I had some teary moments writing their script but some absolute laughs too. And yesterday, as we tried to dodge the dropping acorns those same emotions shone through.
To my awesome couple, you two a freaken great! Keep rocking each others worlds the way that you do. Keep laughing together, loving together and always be in each others corner of the ring. Together and with your truly gorgeous wee son I wish you an eternity of love and happiness.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Simpson!

I've tried to write this post so many times tonight but nothing I write does justice to how awesome these two are.
I've shared some great times with these two over the years, but working with them to write their ceremony and then delivering it in front of their nearest and dearest, that tops it all!
To my beautiful couple; Thank freaken goodness your worlds collided eight years ago and you shared that subway, cause the world shines that extra bit brighter with your love. You radiate happiness. Here's to the adventures you've shared and the many yet to come. Here's to sharing that last cold one in the fridge, days in nature and with Humphrey and to always being the others hero.
Love you guys.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs McMaster!

On the weekend I had the privilege of officiating a beautiful wedding for these beautiful lovers at
I'm really not sure to begin with this one.. the beauty, the elegance, the FUN that was not only the ambiance of the day but is the character of this couple, was truly wonderful to be part of.
To my beautiful couple, you two are rock stars. When I read your returned questionnaires I laughed and I cried (happy tears). You guys share something spectacular. Keep dreaming wildly together, keep sharing your sense of humour and 'taking the p**s' out of each other. Keep loving unconditionally. Just remember to always replace that rubbish bag and no more complaining about finding hair all over everything!!
I wish you endless love.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Van de Steeg!

I'm back!! And what a way to get into the swing of things.
My gorgeous couple surprised guests at their engagement party which was actually their wedding!
I loved getting to know these two. A pair of beautiful souls from opposite sides of the world coming together and creating something magical.
To my couple, thank you for having me as part of your special day. Keep being the awesome couple you are, filling one anothers days with happiness, laughter, passion and a little bit of carnage.
I wish you so much love as you venture into your future as husband and wife. Unapologetic, wild and without limit.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Scartozzi!

I've been a bit quiet on social media recently.
Covid sure played a part in things slowing down in the wedding world, but through that time I was also growing this wee (not so wee) human!
Baby T arrived on Sunday 9 Aug, which also means I'm taking a break from weddings from now through till March 2021.
I'm looking forward to working with my couples I have booked in for next year and will love to hear from you of you plan to tie the knot from Autumn 2021 onwards.
With love,
Tui-Emma x
