I’m a fully certified celebrant living my best life in the sun-soaked seaside village of Hāhei on the Coromandel✨

I’ve called Aotearoa home since 2010, when I fell head over heels for my Kiwi partner - and honestly, I’ve been in love with this place ever since. Before that, I lived in four different countries, collecting stories, accents, and a deep appreciation for the many ways people celebrate love, family and connection. Add in years as a teacher and flight attendant, and connecting with people from all walks of life has become second nature.

Creating meaningful ceremonies for good people feels like a pretty great way to spend a life.

Outside of celebrancy, I’m happiest by the ocean, mildly obsessed with my two cats, and firmly of the belief that most life decisions can be improved with a well-made Negroni.

I create thoughtful, deeply personal ceremonies for:

WEDDINGS (the big ones, the tiny ones, and the barefoot-on-the-beach ones)

NAMING CELEBRATIONS

CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES

VOW RENEWALS

MILESTONE BIRTHDAYS

AND ALL the meaningful moments in between!

No cookie-cutter scripts here. Your ceremony should feel like you - your story, your people, your culture, your sense of humour, your way of doing things. Gardens, vineyards, beaches, mountain tops or somewhere wonderfully unexpected- I’m in. (Yes, even mid-air. Former flight attendant perks!)

Whether your style is modern, relaxed, elegant, traditional, or a little cheeky, I’ll create a ceremony that feels natural, genuine, and completely your own. I love weaving different languages and cultural elements into ceremonies, and have created celebrations incorporating Spanish, French, and Te Reo Māori. I’m always up for the challenge of welcoming guests in their own language.

Clients often describe me as creative, calm under pressure, and just the right amount of fun. 

I offer everything from intimate elopements at my home in Hāhei to fully bespoke celebrations across the Coromandel and beyond. As a Validated member of The Celebrants Association of Aotearoa I’m also approved to conduct Registry weddings.
