OUR CELEBRANTS

Hi I’m Tracey, A mother of two boys, a wife for over 26 years, an orchardist, an interior designer, a funeral director and a Celebrant. And just for fun, I mountain bike with my trail dog Jet. I am always up for a challenge and am rarely shocked or surprised. Carpe diem is my life moto.

Hi my name is Shona I live in Kamo Northland. I live with my dog a west highland terrier named scarlett we both love people and spending time at the beach, Northland has some of the best beaches. Love it here.

Hi I’m Marion, retired but young at heart. I own the 3 most beautiful acres of land in Mangawhai where I also run a Glamping site and perform ceremonies by our pond. Otherwise you will find me either gardening, in my waders cleaning out the pond or getting my cardio up while pushing a lawn mower, we do have a ride-on but some places are hard to reach.

Hi there, I'm Melanie, a high energy, positive person known for my cheeky SOH. I'm a communication coach and long time public speaker with a love of audiobooks, yoga and houseplants (I rescue them from near death in garden centres). I love physical work in the sunshine and fresh air, all 4-legged animals and anything on the sale rack. I will bring my joie de vivre to your ceremony!

Hi I’m Libby, I’m a 35yo ADHD first time mum and the founder of Love on the Run. When I’m not marrying couples you will find me bingeing Ru Paul’s drag race, enjoying a pub quiz, curled up with a book, walking my dog Larry David or devouring some kind of baked good!

Hi! I’m Marieke (pronounced Ma-ree-ka).

I'm equally happy in a sparkly dress as I am in my hiking boots exploring the bush tracks in our stunning country! I’m creative with a soft spot for all things weddings, love a theme (sucker for a dress up party), dabble in DIY and keen for an ocean swim any time of the year!

Hi, I'm Nat, in my 40s (how did that happen!?) and mum to 9 year old twins. Undiagnosed neurospicy which means I'm also a trained massage therapist and I manage a community sports club including a cafe during the day. I love trivia and write quizzes for fundraisers. I'm passionate about community and connection and creating safe spaces for all.

Kia ora kōrua and hello lovebirds I'm Georgia! I'm a 30-something mum of two and have been a Celebrant since 2021. When I'm not being a part of a couple's special day, you can find me being a Senior HR Advisor (a little different! ), chasing children, dreaming of travel and reading an eclectic mix of books on my beloved kindle. I am fun, confident and professional and here's the extra cliche bit... I absolutely love LOVE!

Kia Ora, I'm Laura, I'm in my late 30s and based in central Auckland. I love reading books and collecting books and those are two separate hobbies. I also love spotting dogs in the wild, Jurassic Park, chocolate, pizza, and crying during vows. I met my husband on Tinder so have a soft spot for couples who also met on the internet!

Hi, I'm Kayla! Originally from the sunny shores of Santa Cruz, California, I now call beautiful Auckland home. As a celebrant, I bring a bubbly and approachable energy to every ceremony, making sure your special day is full of warmth and joy. When I'm not officiating weddings, you can find me surfing, hiking, baking up a storm, or diving into a good book.

Kia ora, I’m Alice! I’m an Onehunga local, arts lover, and celebrant. I’ve got a soft spot for live music, spontaneous road trips, and stories that make people both tear up and laugh out loud. When I’m not celebrating love, you’ll find me at the theatre or off on a weekend adventure with my partner and friends. With a background in the arts and an ever growing passion for te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, I love bringing people together through connection, storytelling, and the quiet magic of shared moments.

Hi, I’m Mel, a creative multitasking juggler of all the wonderful challenges that come from raising four awesome teenagers while working as a celebrant, teacher aide, and aspiring historical fiction novelist! I’m very much a “yes” person and will give anything a go. I love to be busy and am definitely an active relaxer. I’m big on long walks, strong coffee, dramatic movies, inspiring theatre, overseas travel, catch ups with girlfriends and the bliss that is getting lost in a brilliantly written character-led novel. With previous careers in medical law, and education, I bring open-minded curiosity, humility, empathy and compassionate inclusive practise to all that I do.

Kia Ora, I'm AnneMarie, a part-time medical doctor and mother of 3 fur-babies (a chihuahua and 2 teenage kittens). I love to sing, invent recipes and play bridge.

Kia ora, I’m Ella! I'm a professionally trained Actor & Musician who has always loved telling & writing stories. I became a celebrant after being inspired by the incredible celebrant for our wedding. When I'm not working on ceremonies you'll find me teaching music, cooking ( or reading cookbooks!) and swimming in the sea....all year round!

My name is Carla, I’m a celebrant, ocean swimmer, avid movie watcher and devoted dog lover. I’m passionate about people, stories and celebrating life’s big moments. If you’re looking for a stand-up comedian, that’s not me, but I do love good humour and delivering a damned good ceremony. I’m competent, well-spoken and genuinely love what I do: creating meaningful, memorable occasions that feel just right.

Kia ora I’m Michelle, a nurse, celebrant, and proud mum of two amazing adult daughters. I live in Sunnyhills, East Auckland with my partner, his kids and our crazy dog Nala and mischievous kitten Xena. Our happy place is exploring beaches and new adventures in our campervan - swimming, hiking and/or just chilling with some great sounds.

Hello! I’m Jane, wedding celebrant, 80s pop enthusiast, and part-time cheese scone connoisseur. When I’m not crafting unforgettable “I do” moments, you’ll find me out walking, taking a dip in the nearest pool, or hunting down the world’s greatest cheese scone (the search continues…).

Hello! I’m Tracey, a young-at-heart early 50-something wedding celebrant, primary school teacher and mum to two amazing adult boys. When I'm not marrying couples you'll probably find me with a cookbook in one hand and a wine glass in the other. And if I’m not doing that I’ll be curled up with a good book, binging a new TV series or enjoying a peaceful (and hopefully successful) moment fishing.

Hi I am Jennifer, a celebrant, mother, grandmother and advocate for marriage and all the love, joy and blessings that come with partnership and commitment. I work part time the health and beauty space and would describe myself ‘as a woman of faith in the ministry of the beautiful.’

Hi, I’m Vicky, a 45-year-old mum of two beautiful kids who keep life full of love and laughter.

My happy place is anywhere near the water, whether it’s walking around the estuary or unwinding at the beach to reset. Friends would describe me as confident yet laid-back, loyal to the core, and always up for a good laugh with a bit of cheeky banter.

Kia ora I’m Estelle, celebrant, radio host, coffee and chocolate enthusiast and mum to a small human chatterbox. I’m a lover of dogs and cats, yeah it’s possible! When I’m not on air or marrying peeps I love strolling to the beach, getting lost in a good book, hanging with my fam or trying my hand at a sewing project…always a battle between nailed and failed!

I’m Keshni - a 34yo proud forensic scientist, dog mum, friend and wife! You'll find me fantasizing and obsessing over my next meal, toggling between a true crime podcast (could have picked that one, couldn't you) and any movie soundtrack Hans Zimmer, bingeing the latest K-drama, and pursuing a love of dance while trying not to break my 34yo body (easier said than done)!

After 25 years as a flight attendant, my love of travel is still strong- just from the comfort of a passenger seat these days! I'm a beach walker (lucky me, just one minute from beautiful Hahei beach!), a passionate baker and a firm believer that life is too short to say no to a good Negroni or a buttery Chardonnay.

Hello! I’m Ella, I have a passion for life and enjoy travelling (29 countries and counting). Elopements are my favourite! They’re intimate, stress-free, and purely about your love. There are no distractions, just a meaningful moment, exactly how you want it. I look forward to meeting you on your wedding day!!

When I'm not helping couples tie the knot, you'll find me juggling life with two amazing kids, a mischievous fur baby, and a serious addiction to house renovation shows and true crime documentaries. Outside of weddings, I’m happiest with a fishing rod in one hand and something delicious in the other. Life’s too short not to laugh, eat well, and celebrate love in all its forms.

I love a good summer bbq and catching up with friends on a nice summer eve. I love weddings and had three of my own, to the same man!

Hi, I’m Jeanette – mum to four, Nana to five, and absolutely loving it! When I’m not officiating weddings, you’ll usually find me in the garden (I lead our local sustainable street garden project – it’s a real passion of mine), out walking or cycling, or helping out at our local Social Supermarket.

Hi I’m Kirt. With a background in radio and media, and now thriving in real estate, I bring decades of confident communication to my role as a Celebrant. I’ve always loved a good love story—whether it’s shared over the airwaves, in a property journey, or at the heart of a ceremony. With our kids grown and flown, my husband and I now enjoy the serenity of our lifestyle block in the lower Kaimais, surrounded by dogs, nature, and the kind of quiet joy that makes life worth celebrating.

I’m also an unashamed fan of period dramas — Downton Abbey is my happy place!

I'm Johnelle, I became a celebrant because I thought the industry needed some young blood. I'm enthusiastic, energetic, and alow you to be completely yourself. Your wedding is part of your REAL LIFE! It's not a show where you or anyone else needs to perform. Choose me for a ceremony to remember for all the right reasons.

Hi, I'm Barb - A lifelong learner with a curious mind, I find joy in the quiet companionship of books and the strategic thrill of playing bridge (the social aspect of bridge is pretty good too). My garden is my nemesis—it tests my patience with every stubborn weed - I have accepted I’ll never have a beautiful garden because I’d rather read a book, watch a movie, or just sit and chat. I enjoy hobbies such as knitting and cooking, but I most love the time I get to spend with family and friends - they enrich my life with creativity and connection.

When I'm not marrying wonderful couples from all over the globe, or selling customized holidays I love to spend my free time in the mountains, on my bike, hiking with my dog and ticking off as many of the amazing trails and adventures that NZ has to offer.

Kia ora I am Debbie. Vibrant, people loving and just the right amount of quirky. You can find me zipping around Wanaka on my scooter or in my vintage Morris Minor Gladys who I take to weddings. Im involved in the rainbow community, I love making scones and I am a maximist! Indy my dog, who identifies as human, and I are often seen walking around Wanaka living our best life!

Hello, my name is Chris and I am a retired Police Officer. I spend my spare time helping people as a Justice of the Peace, which I find very rewarding. I have lived in Queenstown since 1982 and have a wealth of knowledge about this area. My four children and ten grandchildren all live locally and I enjoy spending time with them biking our many trails.

Tēnā koe! My name is Matiu, I'm a 37yo Māori celebrant who has lived in Dunedin on and off for 10 years, but whose whakapapa is up in the beautiful Wairarapa. My '9-5' work involves a lot of cultural support which is a real passion of mine, alongside playing cricket, supporting Newcastle United, suffering through a long distance run, and chocolate eclairs!

Hi, I'm Vernetia. Mother of 3 adult sons, grandmother of 2 soon to be 3 grandsons not a girl to be seen. I have 2 labs, we walk at 5am most days so I dont have to put them on their leads, Tucka the black lab has a tendency to steal kids balls so must be monitored very closely! D'arcy the golden lab s a good girl like me and is trouble free, very obliging and exceptionally friendly. I love a good crime novel, Netflix with an array of favorite shows, Schitt's Creek, any of the Walking Dead spin-offs, im always on a diet but love chocolate and chippies a little bit too much!

Hi I’m Jo, mum to 3 adult children, happily married for 31 years, cat mum to 3 cats who don’t like each other very much! I love gardening and spending time at the beach body surfing or kayaking. I love all the seasons in NZ, and traveling in our campervan around Southland and Otago.

Hi, I am Jude and I work as an event manager for a large rural event that is held every two years here in Southland. I also am the Secretary for the Southern Indoor Charity Dog Trials that runs an event every year to raise much needed money for Hospice. I love being able to do weddings as it is so refreshing and exciting to work with soon to be newly weds. I love my garden and with children having flown the coop I enjoy pottering among the flowers and going for a casual bike ride when time allows (more to earn a coffee!!). Even though I live in town, I am a farm girl through and through! It would be such an honour and privilege to be part of your wedding ceremony.
