Marriage
Celebrant / Wedding Celebrant Auckland New Zealand
Kia ora and welcome to my work as a celebrant.
As a marriage celebrant since 1998 and civil union celebrant from
2005, I call my ceremonial work the ‘poetic’ aspect of
my working life. I bring a level of humanity and service that comes
with experience and commitment to being of service and creating the
experience of a … good, just right, fun, meaningful… whatever
is being sought for - ceremony.
Through ceremony of all forms I have the
privilege of being with and guiding people through what I name the
“yum/yuck” of living. It is a privilege to share these
times with each of you as my client and the feedback I get reflects
the value that each of you experience.
Remember I offer free
of charge 'check me out' first meetings
at my home or a phone call for overseas clients. Contact
me . . . |
