The Process
Personalized Wedding Ceremonies in Auckland & Waiheke
Performing wedding ceremonies across the greater Auckland region from Mangawhai to the Coromandel and beyond, including Waiheke Island.
As a wedding celebrant, my role is to help create a ceremony that feels calm, personal and true to you. Some couples want something relaxed and simple while others want a ceremony with more story, emotion, family, faith, humour or tradition woven through it.
Whatever the setting or style, I take time to understand what matters to you, so the words, rhythm and feeling of the ceremony reflect who you are as a couple, not a generic script.
If you are looking for an experienced wedding celebrant from the Auckland Region, or Waiheke Island who can guide the moment with warmth and care, I would be delighted to talk with you.”
Step 1: The Initial Connection
Let’s establish if I am available on your special wedding day. From here it’s time to meet up for an initial meeting. There is no charge and of course no obligation. I am located in Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland. However, I can also arrange to meet in the CBD. Skype meetings are also an option as it is important that you interview me and place your confidence in me before we proceed.
Your ideas for your wedding are important to me so that I can tune to your needs and requirements. Romance being the centre-piece of the whole process.
Step 2: Crafting Your Ceremony
The weaving together of the ceremony will reflect your passion, romance, and is about you. I can provide many sample vow ideas or indeed many ceremony suggestions to make your day memorable, relaxed, fun but most of all authentic.
Rehearsals are highly recommended where the wedding party consists of bridesmaids and groomsmen. This is usually achieved the day prior to the wedding. Not to be underestimated this day is special too. It helps to iron out all the logistics of timing, music, and positioning.
A fun time where attendees can arrive in casual attire, it allays any anxieties and allows all to feel relaxed and confident ensuring your wedding day runs with ease and grace. A great photo opportunity too!
Step 3: Investment & Next Steps
The minimum cost is $400 excluding any additional costs. These may be, travel, accommodation etc where the ceremony is to be conducted in other parts of New Zealand.

Testimonials
“Finding a celebrant who could or would write into the ceremony words from a ‘genuine Christian perspective’ was not easy, then we found you, Mark. The ceremony was fun, you took into consideration our faith and its importance to both of us. Our parents were super impressed, as were we. It was everything we could have asked for and by the way, the rehearsal was very special.”
