Canterbury

Kia ora! I'm Philippa - proud Māori woman, celebrant, F1 fanatic, caffeine obsessed, lego-loving mother-of-three with a passion for marrying up you awesome people and having a bloody good time in the process. He aroha te aroha x love is love.

Hi, I'm Kelly and I love love! My day job of being a Kindy teacher keeps me young. When I'm not surrounded by under 5's and hearing my name 2000 times a day 😉 or marrying beautiful couples, I can be found in the garden, reading a book, with my quiz team at our weekly quiz, baking for a charity organization or enjoying a drink in the sun with friends and family.

Hello I am Hannah, and have been officiating weddings for 8 years. I love love! I am a retired entrepreneur and now help other people grow their businesses. I love the outdoors, spending time with my family and officiating marriages in my spare time.

Kia ora, I'm Sheila. I am passionate about life and equally passionate about family so marrying couples and celebrating love is never a chore. I'm a mum of 4, now adult, children, along with being Lolly to 3 mokopuna. I live out on a lifestyle block in North Canterbury and love love love retreating at the end of the day to our slice of paradise adorned with dogs, highland cattle and of course the obligatory chickens. Walking, running and relaxing in the spa, star gazing, at the close day is how I unwind.

Hi, I'm Katie, I'm a Mum to teens who keep me busy and I have a couple of different day jobs. In my downtime you'll see me at the beach, a pub quiz or at sport. My guilty pleasure is devouring reality tv, but at least I can put MAFS down to 'research'!

Kia ora, I’m Huata - celebrant, cultural guide, and proud romantic. When I’m not marrying legends or writing love stories, I’m chasing ideas, kids, or snacks (not always in that order).

Hi, I'm Sophie! I love being a celebrant and making memories anchored in love, authenticity and respect. I’m excited to make sure you feel like your ceremony is stress-free, fun, special and inclusive. Love is worth celebrating and I want to help you do it your way!  In addition to being a celebrant and event MC, I'm also a singer, actor, comedian and clown. I have a beautiful blonde greyhound (@lady.edith.hound), love musical theatre, and run a cookbook club (@otautahicookbookclub) as I'm very passionate about the connection between food and friendship.

Hi, I'm Krissy and I love being with people, celebrating love. I love to be at the beach, walking the fabulous parks we have, going out to a medley of shows and concerts, doing yoga or reading somewhere cosy. I have 3 adult kids and a support dog fur-grandchild, and work with over 70 year old's running fitness groups during the week.

Hi, I’m Ollie. When I’m not helping couples say “I do,” you’ll probably find me running or biking up a hill somewhere before breakfast with my dog, Maggie (equal parts energiser and endorphin-chaser) - fuelled, of course, by a strong coffee. I bring that same energy and enthusiasm to your big day! I love seeing two people who make each other happy - every wedding is different, but my goal is the same: a relaxed, meaningful ceremony that feels completely you.

Kia ora I’m Flick, a celebrant based in Canterbury, nestled on the slopes of Whakaraupō / Lyttelton Harbour. I live with my husband, our children, a cat called Steve, and a joyful chorus of korimako (bellbirds). I specialise in weddings, and other occasions where life’s meaningful moments deserve to be honoured with intention and care. I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s make something you’ll always remember.

Kia Ora Lovers! My name is Lisa Marie. A registered Nurse and a new mum, a lover of love in all its forms, and someone who finds joy in the little things, like a good coffee and catching up with friends. I feel most at home in the mountains, surrounded by nature, and I bring that same sense of warmth and adventure to everything I do. As a celebrant with Love on the Run, I’m proud to be part of life’s most beautiful moments, ensuring that every ceremony is effortless, meaningful, FUN and inclusive of all love.

Hello! I'm Court, first-time mum to Tilly (but dog mum to Bailey for many years!). I'm always about dinner around the table with my favourite people, brunch with my husband and our little family, a good G&T or glass of red, or curling up with a book (and let's be honest, probably a spicy one!). I truly feel so lucky to do what I do.

Hi I’m Jade, I love to laugh, listen, and celebrate people (and life!). From hairdresser to teacher, now celebrant, I’ve learned that life’s best moments are spent with the people (and animals!) we love, and making fabulous memories. I’m all about living fully and nudging ourselves out of our comfort zones. When I’m not marrying amazing couples, you’ll find me at a BBQ, hanging out with my hubby and kids, learning new techy things, or cuddled up with my dogs watching a rom-com or thriller. Can’t wait to celebrate your day!

Hi I'm Jo. When I'm not celebrating love, you'll likely find me in my botanical haven - beautiful enough to host a wedding or two - either with my hands in the soil or simply admiring it with a cuppa in hand. I also enjoy exploring our great home land in our motorhome and work casually for St John, a role close to my heart. I'm a proud mum to three grown-up children and wife to a man who's happiest tinkering away in his workshop at home.

Kia ora, I'm Ange, an experienced marriage and end-of-life celebrant with my feet firmly planted in the great outdoors. I'm a cold-water swimmer, avid tramper and ski-tourer, sharing my time between the gorgeous Hurunui (Cheviot) and the Canterbury high country ( Tura Tawhiti/Castle Hill). While I love to be out and about, I also work as a contract journalist and yoga teacher, sing in a choir and love a good book.

I'm Zena, a 34 year old teenager. I grew up in Auckland, and I've recently landed in Ōtautahi. I spend my time eating, protecting my Duolingo streak (2146 days, but you're not allowed to ask if I can speak Spanish), trying to study, gazing upon my hip collection of olden times dishware, bothering my family, and now...marrying you?

Hi, I’m Laura, a bubbly, extroverted nerd and unapologetic metalhead. By day I’m a Software Project Director, and when I’m not steering big IT projects or wrangling life with my young family, you’ll most likely find me on stage performing with my husband in our rock band or happily curled up watching Star Trek (or Star Wars!).

Hi! my name is Jacky, I am married with two daughters and enjoy dancing. I have been part of the FireFly bellydance troupe for 10 years and recently took up Samba. I am also in my happy place outside with my dogs on the beach or in a forest. Being a celebrant is a privilege, I love meeting couples and being part of their day. who doesnt love a wedding?! right!

Hi I'm Chris. I am an experienced marriage celebrant based in Christchurch. I have been a celebrant for over ten years. You will be impressed with my people skills and ability to connect with people from all backgrounds. My passion is sport, specifically Cricket and Football. Be in for a service that you will be stoked with!

Hi I’m Monica. I am a happy, kind, Brazilian celebrant. I love dancing, spending time with my family and meeting new people. I love sharing kindness and that's why I become a marriage celebrant.

Hello! I'm Beth, a Celebrant with 10 years of experience. If I'm not officiating or training Celebrants, you'll find me with a glass of Champagne in hand - preferably aboard an airplane en route to an overseas destination! I love trying out new restaurants and new experiences and love learning new things as my life motto is live, laugh and adventure!

Kia ora, I'm Erica. I'm an Independent Marriage, Registered Nurse, and Educator. When not busy with helping nurses grow, or doing weddings I can be found on stage as my Drag King alter ego, writing, creating or volunteering. I offer Queer friendly celebrations and am happy to work with you on the ceremony you want - from covering legal bases thorough to telling your epic love story.

Kia ora, I'm Brent. When I’m not officiating weddings, my wife Claire and I own/operate a primary aged OSCAR childcare service. I also provide an independent funeral advocacy service. Life balance summed up is embracing simplicity, escaping to do micro-adventures equally as much as BIG hairy audacious ones; volunteering; having adult children whom we still play board games with; and, where having a sense of humour is paramount for my wellbeing's sake!

Hi, I'm Chelsea! I've been officiating weddings for 6 years and I absolutely LOVE it! Outside of weddings, I’m a māmā of two, a founder, a podcaster, and I’ve recently dabbled in a bit of boxing. If I’m not doing any of the above, you’ll probably find me out opshopping or binging Love Island!

Hi I'm Sharee, getting closer to 60 than I want to be but enjoy all the wisdom it brings. When not working in my civil service job, or working on making beautiful ceremonies, I enjoy cooking, reading and planning my next adventure. Travel is my biggest passion! Have been married for 20 years and I still quite like my husband so we spend a lot time together, preferably on a plane going somewhere.
