Can you travel outside of Auckland for our ceremony?

Yes, absolutely! While I am based in Auckland, I am happy to travel to other regions within New Zealand to officiate your ceremony. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance and will be discussed and agreed upon during our initial consultation. Please let me know your desired location when you enquire.

What do you wear to the ceremony?

I understand that your wedding day may have a specific aesthetic and theme. I typically dress in professional, smart attire that is appropriate for a wedding. However, I am always happy to discuss your wedding's style and colour scheme to ensure my attire complements your vision. Just let me know your preferences!

How long does a typical ceremony last?

The length of your ceremony can vary depending on the package you choose and the elements you wish to include. A basic legal-only ceremony (The Essentials) can be as short as 5-10 minutes. A personalised ceremony (The Classic or The Custom) typically ranges from 20-30 minutes, allowing time for readings, personal vows, rituals, and your unique love story. We will discuss the ideal length during our planning meetings.

Can we write our own vows?

Yes, absolutely! I highly encourage couples to write their own vows as it adds a deeply personal and meaningful touch to your ceremony. For 'The Classic' and 'The Custom' packages, I provide guidance, resources, and support to help you craft heartfelt and impactful vows that truly reflect your feelings for each other.

Can we include cultural or religious traditions in our ceremony?

 Yes, I am happy to incorporate cultural, religious, or spiritual traditions that are meaningful to you as a couple. Your ceremony should reflect your beliefs and heritage. We can discuss these elements during our planning meetings to ensure they are seamlessly woven into your ceremony script.

Do you provide a PA system?

While a PA system is not included as standard in all packages, we can discuss your venue's requirements and my ability to provide or arrange for a PA system if needed, especially for larger gatherings. This would typically be an additional service.
