So happy you’re here!

Celebrant between couple overlooking ocean

I’m Vic (she/her) - celebrant, MC, storyteller and your go-to gal for ceremonies that actually feel like you.

I'm all about connection, care and a whole lotta heart.

Here’s what it feels like when we work together:

✔ relaxed but intentional

✔ emotionally grounded, no awkward moments

✔ space to feel the feels - without the pressure

✔ well held, well paced, and actually enjoyable

✔ low admin, good vibes, and clear guidance start to finish (DW, I won't let you sh*t the bed 😏)

Celebrant gazing at couple

Based by the beach in Ōtautahi, I’m married to Dan, māmā to our three tamariki - Māia, Tīpene and Manawa - and happiest with salty skin, a yoga mat, good book and a hot cuppa in hand. That same grounded, heart-led energy is what I bring into every ceremony I hold.

Whether it’s barefoot in the sand, with your whānau in the backyard, or the full shebang at a lush venue... I’ve got you.

You just show up and feel the feels - I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ve married 200+ couples, created My Celebrant App to make planning easy AF, and only take on a handful of bookings each month - so if you’re feeling the vibe, don’t muck around 🏃‍♀️

Ceremony Collection

  • Say goodbye to snooze-fest ceremonies... this one’s all about you two.

    A custom ceremony... written from scratch, crafted with care, and delivered with a side of cheeky banter.

    You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll feel like the absolute legends you are – not like you're putting on a show for your nan’s second cousin 😏

    Picture it – you and your love, standing in front of your people... the vibe is high, the energy’s real, and the words just land. You won’t remember every line, but you’ll 100% remember how it felt.

    No awkwardness. No pressure to perform. Just a ceremony that sounds like you – raw, real, and packed with all the good stuff.

    You show up and feel all the feels... I’ll take care of the rest – with a sharp wit, solid storytelling, and a knack for making everyone feel right at home.

    📣 LIMITED Main Event + MC bookings available per month... so if you’re vibing it, don’t wait.

    How does it work?

    ● Plan everything in one place – You’ll get instant access to My Celebrant, your digital planning hub to keep it all easy and organised

    ● Slide into my DMs – No need for awkward phone calls unless you want one – I’m here for a Zoom or a cuppa when you need me

    ● Your story – A ceremony that sounds like you, built around your vibe, values and relationship

    ● Vow guidance – Support to help you shape the words and moments that matter

    ● Rehearsal included – So you, your crew and your ring bearer (yes, even the toddler) know exactly what to do

    ● On the day – I show up, hold the space, keep the energy relaxed and real, and deliver a ceremony your guests won’t stop talking about

  • Already trusting me with your ceremony? Let me take the reins for the reception too.

    Celebrant: The Main Event Ceremony – from $900

    This isn’t just the part you have to “get through” before the party – it’s the part that sets the tone for everything.

    It’s the deep breath, the hand squeeze, the moment it all sinks in. 

    It’s the laughter – the tears – the feeling of being fully seen, with words that sound like you.

    🎤 Add MC - Your Wedding Wingwoman

    Already trusting me with your ceremony? Let me take the reins for the reception too.

    I’ll guide the night with that same calm, cheeky energy – keeping the vibe flowing, the speeches rolling, and the timeline on track.

    No awkward mic handovers. No cousin with a mimosa and no clue. Just me – holding it down, keeping it warm, seamless, and actually enjoyable... so you don’t have to think about a single thing (except soaking up that freshly married buzz).

    Bundle when you book – from $1500 total (save $200) 🔥🔥🔥

    Add later – from $800 (if there’s still space)

    Think registry office - only way cooler 😏

    Whether you're keeping it low-key, saving up for a bigger celebration later, or just want to get legally hitched without the admin headache - this is for you.

    🌊 THE VIBE

    Relaxed + intimate. A simple, legal ceremony - written and led by Vic with the option to add your own vows.

    Vic + you two + your two witnesses + up to 5 guests inside

    (extra “I do crew” can gather outside on the green)

    Just kisses and the paperwork 🤌

    👉 HOW IT WORKS

    • Enquire below

    • Choose your time + lock it in

    • Apply for your marriage licence (BDM)

    • Decide if you want to add vows

    • Rock up with your ID + your people

    • Get hitched 💃

    🚫 NOT INCLUDED

    • Personalised ceremony or love story

    • Rehearsals or travel

    • Different locations - Village Green only

    • Marriage licence fee

  • Your Legal Sign-Off!

    Registry ceremonies are no longer held at the courthouse and can now only be conducted by Validated Members of CANZ (Celebrants Association of NZ) - including me 🙋‍♀️

    This option is perfect if you simply want to get legally married with minimal fuss and paperwork. It’s intentionally simple and follows a strict legal format set by BDM (Births, Deaths and Marriages).

    That means:

    • no prior meeting with me

    • a set ceremony script provided by BDM

    • standard legal vows only

    • no changes or personalised wording permitted

    Registry ceremonies must take place between 9am–5pm on weekdays only, not on weekends or public holidays. I’ll arrive 5 minutes before your ceremony time and we’ll usually be wrapped up within about 15 minutes.

    You’ll need to provide two witnesses, photo identification, a maximum of 10 guests total. There is a set fee of $175.

    📍 I’m available for registry ceremonies at North Beach or within 10 minutes of my home in New Brighton, Christchurch on Thursdays and Fridays. I’m also offering registry ceremony spots during my 2026 Winter Pop-Up Dates at The Village Green on June 26th, July 31st, August 28th, September 25th, October 29th, November 27th. Perfect if you love the idea of a fun pop-up wedding vibe but don’t need the full Pash 'n' Dash experience 😏

    If you want to write your own vows, work with a photographer/videographer, hire a private venue, have more than 10 guests, or create a more personalised experience - one of my other ceremony packages will be a much better fit ✨

    More information about registry ceremonies here (summary) and here (script and vows).

I’m the celebrant for you if…
