Louise & George - 09/04/22

My gorgeous cousin, Lou, and her love, George, were married at The Boatshed on the Wellington Waterfront earlier this year.

It was a beautiful, small ceremony with their family, followed by a reception with their friends. I must say, those mini spanakopitas were stunning!!

Congrats Lou and George, thanks for having me 💕💍

The gorgeous Georgie and George celebrated their marriage last month, in a wholesome ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest!

Georgie and I have been pals since primary school and I was absolutely thrilled when she asked me to be her celebrant! It was such a privilege officiate their beautiful ceremony.

Georgie and George’s day was so relaxed and family orientated. It flowed with such ease and was filled with many tearful moments that were a tribute to the love and appreciation that others feel towards them.

A huge congratulations to these fabulous humans! So. Much. Fun.

This wedding was a little bit extra special to me.. My big brother Tom, and his gorgeous wife Crystal finally said “I do”! It was such an honour to officiate their ceremony and get to witness so much happiness within my family.

Their ceremony was originally meant to be at the end of February. With the uncertainty at the time they chose to bring their wedding forward and have a small ceremony and celebration with family rather than pushing out their date.

It was such a beautiful and quaint afternoon at Fairfield House in Nelson. The ceremony was held in the courtyard which had the most beautiful brick surface - it made for a stunning photo looking down from the top of the tower.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a bit of a softie… After Tom and Crystal’s wedding I had to purchase some waterproof mascara so that in future I don’t look like a panda!

Tom and Crystal spent 3 years living in Scotland where they basically tripped around whiskey distilleries. As you can imagine a love for whiskey was installed. As a tribute to this obsession it was only appropriate that they shared a dram after signing their marriage document - love!

Thanks for asking me to be your celebrant, Tom and Crystal! The best day ever xx

Emily & Sheldon - 27/11/21

Emily and Sheldon chose the most beautiful spot in the garden at Long Beach Estate, under a glorious and giant cherry tree. It was the perfect spot to be on such a hot spring day!

Emily and Sheldon opted for a low key and fun wedding that perfectly captured them as a couple. They involved their family in the bridal party and Emily’s aunt also shared a gorgeous reading.

Popping down to check in with the bride is one of my favourite parts of the ceremony. I enjoy getting to see the excitement and the nerves of the bride and quite often the emotions on a parent’s face - the pride and adoration they hold.

The bridal party was stunning, but Emily in particular was just gorgeous! She wore a form fitting, beaded gown - so glamorous! The lads were in navy suits, which tied in well with the bridesmaids dresses which were blush pink.

Emily and Sheldon chose to share the same modern traditional vows. The set they chose is classic, but the modern twist makes them sweeter and more personal. They were perfect for what they were after.

With the vows done, rings on and documents signed, it was time to pronounce these two fabulous humans as husband and wife!

A big congratulations to Emily and Sheldon, thanks for having me! X

Jess & Henry - 18/12/2021

Jess and Henry were married on the most beautiful December afternoon. Fortunately for them the rain had cleared the day before, although this did have some implications!

Jess and Henry had their ceremony under the trees at the back of Jess’ family home, just out of Ashburton. The setting was peaceful and romantic with a vibrant atmosphere.

Jess had opted for a string quartet for their ceremony - Jess played the violin herself during school - it was such a glamorous and unique touch!

There ceremony was fun and lively, complemented by readings from their siblings. This was a great way to integrate their family into their special day. Jess and Henry said “I do” and cemented their relationship surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.

It was such a fun afternoon celebrating a vibrant couple! Thanks so much for having me, Jess and Henry. Congrats! X

Sara & Cam - 27/11/21

After 10 years of being together Sara and Cam finally tied the knot!

They held their gorgeous day at Trott’s Gardens surrounded by their most important people. The weather wasn’t to Sara and Cam’s favour, it was absolutely pouring down outside. Being the champs they are they took it in their stride and made the most of their day…

Anna & Tony, a couple of my favourite humans, got married at the start of the year and I had the pleasure of pronouncing them 💕 Check it out!

These two are the reason I became a marriage celebrant! We were out at the Blue Pub one night and we were having a chat about their wedding. Anna was talking about how she was looking for a celebrant and I said, "I've been thinking that I could be one, would you let me be your celebrant if I became....
