Did you know that I'm not only a celebrant but also have a stunning wedding venue, Manaaki Mai? Specialising in elopements, small weddings, and intimate ceremonies. Celebrated in nature and environmentally conscious. One of the first elopement's at Manaaki Mai was Lynn and Deryyn's. Their beautiful ceremony took place nestled amongst the trees. It was an absolute pleasure to not only officiate their ceremony but to plan and create a magical day for them as they said their "I do's".

I am a marriage celebrant based at our small intimate wedding venue Manaaki Mai in the beautiful Purau Bay, Lyttelton harbour, but am happy to perform ceremonies anywhere in the Canterbury area.
At Manaaki Mai, we provide bespoke minimalist weddings in our eco bush, olive grove or lodge settings. These are perfect for couples seeking to elope in a simple beautiful setting or have a small intimate wedding in harmony with nature.

If you are planning a wedding for 2020 or 2021, I would love an opportunity to talk to you about how I could weave and craft a ceremony personal to you both.

If you want us to take care of everything for you, our Elope@home, Manaaki Mini and Ataahua wedding packages are available to view online https://manaakimai.co.nz/weddings-celebrancy/

I love that our beautiful bush wedding location is being used through the winter by Bush Farm School to teach children about our incredible natural environment. Nothing better than a tarp and a sausage cooked on the fire!!
