Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments in your life, and your ceremony should be just as special. Whether you envision something heartfelt, lighthearted, or deeply personal, I’ll help craft a ceremony that reflects your unique relationship.

You have the freedom to shape your day your way – free from rigid rules or expectations. Behind the scenes, you’ll have someone calm, organised, and experienced guiding the process. I bring ideas, structure, and a steady hand to help everything flow smoothly so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

With more than 100 ceremonies under my belt, I bring a solid foundation of knowledge, practical support, and a calm presence to every ceremony. I’ll guide you through the process with clear advice, helpful tips, and thoughtful suggestions – saving you time, stress and uncertainty along the way.

This isn’t just about the ceremony itself – it’s a full service to support you both in the lead-up to your wedding and on the day.

Alongside creating and delivering your ceremony, I also offer extra support services to help your wedding day run smoothly. These can be tailored to suit your plans, and pricing will vary depending on your needs and the scale of your event. Please get in touch to discuss.

On-the-Day Wedding Coordination

If your wedding involves a lot of moving parts - perhaps you're working with multiple vendors, using a DIY or BYO venue, or hosting everything at home - having someone behind the scenes to manage the flow of the day can make a world of difference.

An on-the-day coordinator steps in so you don’t have to worry about logistics or timing, and your friends and whānau can just relax and enjoy the celebration.

I can help to:

• Oversee the setup of your ceremony and/or reception spaces

• Coordinate arrival of bridal parties and ensure everyone feels ready

• Make sure styling and decorations are just right

• Keep the day running smoothly and to time

• Troubleshoot any unexpected issues

• Liaise with your vendors and venue contact

• Be the go-to person for guests, family and vendors on the day

Master of Ceremonies (MC) Services

Being the MC for a wedding is a big responsibility - it requires confidence, clarity, warmth, humour, and the ability to keep things on track while entertaining a crowd.

While it’s lovely to involve a friend or family member in this role, they may not get the chance to fully enjoy the day. If you’d prefer a professional MC to keep things flowing while creating a fun, relaxed vibe, I’d be happy to step in.

My MC services can include:

• Transitioning guests after the ceremony and guiding them through the afternoon

• Announcements about food, drinks, facilities and photo sessions

• Assisting the photographer with group shots

• Icebreaker games while the bridal party is away (on request)

• Announcing the bridal party's grand entrance

• Outlining the reception timeline and any important details

• Introducing speakers (with a fun fact or light-hearted story, if you like)

• Coordinating dinner, dessert, or buffet service

• Running games like the Shoe Game after dinner (on request)

• Announcing the cake cutting and first dance
