Pets at Weddings

Pets at weddings.....? Do you, don't you? What are the pros and cons? 
If you can not imagine NOT having your pet with you on your big day, consider these things before making a decison.
The first thing you must think of is the pets themself.
Do they like crowds? Are they well behaved? If you have answered no to both of those questions, chances are having your furry friend at your wedding is not for you!

Covid-19- your wedding cancelled or postponed

​Covid-19 / Coronavirus has taken over all of our everyday lives as NZ prepares for lockdown. It is in our conversations, thoughts newsfeeds, tv and social media.
Some of my couples ( MY OWN WEDDING included) have had to postpone our weddings This unexpected curve ball was not expected when we set our date.. Now the decision is,  when to set the new date, as we realistically do not know when this will pandemic will end/subside. For those couples that have their date set later on in 2020 they are worrying about whether their wedding day will go ahead or if they will need to postpone to next year. 
 
As your celebrant I can work with you! I will transfer your date to a new date ( that I am available) at no extra cost. You can still get excited to marry your honey, whether it is your original date or a new one in the not-so-distant future.

Coping with Grief

We cannot imagine what Grief feels like ......
until a loved one dies. 
 
and then your life will be changed forever

They say that death and taxes are the only two things we can be sure of. There should be three things as grief is something that will affect all of us in varying forms.
But there is so much more to a person's death as there is grief. 

Grief can rip you apart and make you numb, for others it is a constant dull ache. Some feel are overloaded with emotions and others have physical pain. Some of us have all of the above.

It is different for each of us. It’s hard to guess just how you may react when someone you love dies and it is important not to compare yourself to others.

You have set your big day. Now to decide what type of theme you would like for your wedding.  You can have a subtle flavour of your theme throughout your wedding or go all out.  

I recently was luckily to marry Lisa and Kane (pictured) in a medieval style wedding at a real castle! Most of the guests were dressed up and it was great. My bespoke wedding ceremony I created for them reflected the theme.  I have a steampunk wedding coming up which will be fun!

Donna and Sean awoke to a stunner of a day in February. They created a magical ceremonial space at Seven Oakes in their gardens. Donna's favourite colour is purple so varying shades of purple were used in the bridal part and the decorations. Family is important to both Donna and Sean so they made sure their wedding was going to have all their nearest and dearest involved.

The setting was breathtaking in rural South Canterbury for Anna and Hamish.  Grace Bolton, from Grace Bolton Photography, captured some fantastics memories of this gorgeous large, rustic wedding. Their whole day flowed beautifully.  Anna and Hamish had a bespoke, personalised ceremony that featured a live singer, a horse and their fur baby

There were some clouds in the sky which helped cool the searing sun, creating a beautiful summers day. Anna arrived on a magnificent horse, led by her father, followed by her bridesmaids and fur-baby, Macy.
