What skilled Celebrants offer

Celebrants aren't just for weddings and funerals. Skilled Celebrant can create a ceremony or ritual for anything significant changes that happen in your life. Such as celebrating the birth of a child, a baby-naming ceremony, special anniversaries, house blessings, recovering from serious illness, redundancy or getting through a separation or divorce. Did you know there is a massive amount of cultural diversity around how events are celebrated? For example; a young child going to school for the first time might be celebrated with a hair-cutting ceremony or the opportunity to take a cone of lollies to class on the first day to share with their class mates. Why not enrich your and your families life with special moments and memories to treasure and recreate lovingly as appropriate?

Some Celebrants are skilled ritual and ceremony designers and can craft a unique ceremony for the individual. Whatever the occasion, working with me means you'll get someone who will create a bespoke event for you and your loved ones. We'll work in an inclusive and collaborative way. I'll bring my passion and listening skills to help craft exactly what you hoped for. 

It is a given that a skilled Celebrant should be professional. You will find that I am very professional and this means you will get a great standard of planning, writing, organisation, people skills, effective and timely communication and a focus on your needs.

  • Being a member of the Celebrants’ Association of New Zealand Inc. (CANZ) means I have access to resources, ongoing professional development and a network of Celebrancy colleagues for support, advice and back up if necessary.
  • Training from the The Celebrant School based in New Zealand ensures that I have the relevant knowledge to help you with your needs.
