Wow! What an incredible wedding! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable celebration filled with so much love and joy.
The bride and groom were positively radiant as they exchanged vows, and their happiness was contagious, spreading throughout the entire venue. From the colorful flower arrangements to the stunning bridal party attire, Filipino and Kiwi culture, every detail was picture-perfect, creating a truly magical atmosphere.
But perhaps the most memorable moment of the night was the introduction of the bridal party at the reception - with laughter and cheers filling the room they each had had their own clip of music and gave a quick snippet of their dance moves - was such a great vibe!
It was an honor to be a part of such a fun and love-filled wedding. Congratulations to Bill and Evelyn, may their love continue to flourish and grow for many years to come!

Great ideas to get your children involved in your ceremony.

A wedding ceremony is an ideal opportunity to honour the beginning of the blended family. This start can be a significant milestone for them, particularly for older and adult children. Creating an inclusive ceremony for the children is a great way to make them feel loved, recognised and part of the new blended family.

Here are 5 ways to include them in the ceremony:

🌼Include them right from the start

🌼Let them have a role in the wedding party

🌼Acknowledge the children in the ceremony

🌼Include the children in your rituals

🌼And have fun!

However you choose to personalise your wedding ceremony, find a Celebrants Aotearoa celebrant who can help you plan a bespoke ceremony that allows you to acknowledge the children to create a truly memorable day for all.

Time to take a moment to Celebrate 🎉

Life has been pretty crazy over the last few months!
Working, weddings, funerals, lockdowns and all those jobs around the home,it has been a juggle fitting in this study.

Well, this perseverance has finally paid off as I celebrate getting my Diploma in Celebrancy!

This study has certainly tested me and helped immensely in creating special ceremonies for my clients.

Shout Out to those people that helped along the way - you know who you are!!!

And a massive thank you to all my wonderful clients who make this job the BEST!!❤️❤️
