"Our couple, and all of you, have had to pivot this week in order to create a plan B. And while plan B isn’t the wharenui of Te Ihi o Nehua in Whakapara, the whenua/land on which we stand right now is still very significant.
This has been a place where history was made, and two cultures came together in the hopes of finding a way forward together. 
This land holds its own memories of those events from long ago, and while the story isn’t a perfect tale of two cultures uniting seamlessly, the idea and the hope was. 
Today, Duncan and Ataria make their own history with this ceremony, joining hands in harmony and a vision of their future.
This is a place for the community to come together, share stories, make memories and connect with one another.  
If there are whispers here to be heard, you would hear the voices of the ancestors, and for the next snippet of time, our voices will join the history of this place."

I'm not usually an MC, I prefer to stick to being a celebrant, but I would MC Mr and Mrs Mitchell's wedding all over again tomorrow. We had laughter, fun games, heartfelt toasts, and good banter.
Thank you for choosing me to share your whole day with 😘

It's important to take care of yourself. As a celebrant, this is very important. You give so much of yourself to your work, the people you work with, and on the day of the wedding, there's an abundance of energy shared. Even the car ride to a wedding in pumping myself up with music and singing as loud as I can. I often find I'm drained on Sunday and need less human contact, to be quiet, spend time in the garden close to hubby, and cuddles with my son and fur babies.
After each ceremony, I must bring my energy down, ground myself, whakanoa. I don't like to go home heightened and still on the buzz. Yesterday, the beach and mountains beckoned. I couldn't put my feet in the ocean because it had wandered off too far, and I wasn't in the mood to walk to it, but the sand was perfect, the view calming and after 20mins I was able to drive home silently.

Sooooooo.... I took a little risk in the middle of this year and decided to stretch my business to include pop-up weddings. A whole wedding but smaller... less stress, less money, with the freedom for you to decide how you'd like to spend the rest of your day. A different approach that works well in the bigger city centre's.

I found some cool vendors to collaborate with .cakes .co.nz
I chose a date the Statistics NZ said was pretty popular, Valentines Day and we stayed advertising.
So far, we've had some inquiries, a few nibbles, but no bites. My heart is sinking. I get told it's a great idea but still no bookings. I really want this to be a thing that works.
Is the idea not actually that good?
Is it the date?
Is it the cost?
Or is it I'm not reaching the right people?
To all the couples I've married and those still to come, to my followers, family and friends... please share, spreas the word. 💚🩷💚🩷
Let's see if we can fill the 4 spots before NY 2025!

My couple were happy for a fellow celebrant and student of to come along and observe a marriage ceremony at that I was officiating. Here is what she had to say.
It was windy, wild and rained during the signing. Keeping in constant communication with the couple and what they wanted, and keeping the other vendors in the loop and the guests as comfortable as possible, we pulled it off. A few umbrellas were needed and the closing statement was shortened on the fly, but we got there and the smiles were enormous.

I get to work with some pretty alright people!

Even in the wind and the rain, our couple were still treated to a magical wedding day with all vendors contributing their amazing talents and skills.

Fakaalofa! The 2024 theme for Niue Language Week is 'Leveki mo e Feaki e Vagahau Niue ma Anoiha - Protect and Nurture Vagahau Niue for the Future.'. 

As well as celebrations to mark Faahi Tapu he Vagahau Niue, Niue Language Week, we also celebrate, on this day, 50 years of self-government!

“Vagahau Niue is in dire straits.... the language is losing ground every year.” 

Niuean is listed by UNESCO as one of the languages at risk of extinction. Niue has a population of around 1,564 but many of its diaspora in Aotearoa, some 30,000 don’t speak Niuean.

Teal Bay Ngawai Bay did not disappoint and despite a road accident causing delays of up to 2 hours, flight delays from Auckland and the need to reschedule the rehearsal and ceremony time, our couple got married with everyone they had asked to be present, present. You could not have asked for a better day. .

Can't get enough of yesterday's ceremony! #allyours #married #northlandcelebrant #northlandweddings #whangāreicelebrant #whangāreiweddings #celebrant #weddings #celebrantlife #ceremony #ceremonysetup #aislesong

Where dreams come true! I haven't had that much dust in my eyes for a long time. This ceremony got me, the guests, and the couple right in the feels today. It was a stunning gathering of hearts and family. Just too pretty! . . . #northlandcelebrant #northlandweddings #whangāreicelebrant #whangāreiweddings #celebrant #weddings #celebrantlife #ceremonysnippet #ceremonyscript #wordscraftedwithcare #yourceremonyyourway

#speaking errors I sounded like the guy off Team America trying to say inevitably! 🤦‍♀️ . What do you do when your words don't come out right!? . Firstly, when I get myself into celebrant work mode, I remind myself to slow right down. Ceremonial time is different to everyday time... breathe, ground yourself, slow down, and savour every word. 2. Practice out loud, and get comfortable with your script. 3. Anything you are tripping up on, change. Edit it to sound more like something you'd naturally say. 4. Spell it the way it sounds in your script. So when you know a word is coming that your nervous of, you've got it written the way it sounds when spoken. . Follow me for more tips haha 🤣 Maybe not! . #celebrantlife #celebrant #northlandweddings #whangāreicelebrant #whangāreiweddings #weddingseason #northlandcelebrant #weddings

I'm so sorry I've been slack posting for #vagahauniue but I've been busy being addicted to making ei katu. Here's one I started for #niueanlanguageweek . . . Monuina e pogipogi = Good morning. Monuina e afiafi = Good evening. Monuina e po = Good night. Monuina e aho = Have a nice day. . . . The Niuean language is endangered. Please, use the words!!! 🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺 #ourlanguageisourstrength #pasifikalanguageweek #Niue

Yesterday's wedding between Kari and James was filled with so much love, laughter, and profanity... I totally felt at home with them. My celebrant duties extended beyond the ceremony, and I MCeed for them as well. It's safe to say that I won't be adding MC to my list of services unless you need someone with a big voice, not one joke, and a well prepared script 🤣 #northlandcelebrant #northlandweddings #whangāreicelebrant #whangāreiweddings #weddings #celebrant #yourceremonyyourway #lovestory @darciepricecelebrant

My Story

Fakaalofa Lahi Atu, Kia Ora, Hello! Originally from Titirangi, West Auckland; my heart and home now belongs in the north, where I live with my son, husband and collection of animals. My dad whakapapa’s to the Taranaki and Wellington regions and my mum is from ‘The Rock’...the stunningly rugged Niue.

I am a trained and experienced celebrant who is currently completing my Diploma in Celebrant Studies through the New Zealand Celebrant School. I am also a member of the professional body for celebrants, The Celebrants Association of New Zealand (CANZ).

My celebrant journey began in 2014 and since then I have had the honour of creating memories for families by celebrating their moments with love and laughter. I take pride in listening to your story, in order to create a ceremony specific and unique to you with words crafted with care. A ceremony is all about you and together we will work to ensure you get your ceremony, your way.

I look forward to meeting you!
