Tree Planting Ceremony For Weddings, Namings + Milestones

1/4/2024

Wedding couple with their children having a tree planting ceremony in NZ with Jade Whaley Timaru Marriage Celebrant

The tree-planting ceremony is a ritual rooted in ancient wedding traditions across various cultures. The tree you plant becomes a symbolic representation of the growth within your marriage and living memento.

About Jade

My Celebrant journey began in 2017, and I now have had over 600 beautiful weddings, funerals, naming, MC and special occasion events.

Through this experience, I have grown, changed, and immersed myself in a life filled with people and their unique stories, which I love.

My life purpose is to help people navigate change, love, life and death.

I bring professionalism, extensive experience, and qualifications to my role, holding a diploma in Celebrant Studies.

I love I get to marry loved -up couples all over South Canterbury and beyond. I am honoured.

I walk with families through grief as they farewell their loved ones.

I celebrate life and love
