I genuinely care about every ceremony I design and perform, so it’s important for me to get to know the people involved. As an Auckland Celebrant, I find performing ceremonies to be so personally rewarding and fulfilling. It was my love for all people and my genuine passion for helping people that first endeared me to become a Celebrant.
It is my heartfelt desire that each couple, person or family have their perfect ceremony, exactly as they imagine. My hope is that everyone I have the pleasure of working with feels comfortable to express their own ideas and personal wishes for the ceremony. To achieve these unique objectives I work closely with them to ensure their dream becomes a reality.
Every person is unique, every culture is unique, and this just some of what inspires me to when designing and creating a Ceremony which is personal to them and reflects their individuality.
Qualifications:

In my personal life I take every opportunity that presents itself and my philosophy is to get out there and live every day to the fullest. My family is my greatest joy. I have an adult daughter and son and their partners families and a one year old grandson – who is the love of my life! In addition I have a beautiful Rag Doll cat who is extremely spoiled. Creating special experiences for us all to share in is a particular passion of mine.
Over and above my family I love curling up with a good book when I have the time, meeting and learning about people, designing and making clothes, and listening to music!
