Amber Caskey - Celebrant

I’ve been way too slack sharing this season’s weddings — so here’s a whole lot of fabulous from Ryan & Holly’s incredible day at Te Maru Farm back in November 💫

Looking forward to leading the annual Christmas Service tomorrow evening at Abrahams - a gentle service of hope, real talk, and community spirit. ✨

All are welcome.

As always, we will be collecting donations for the New Plymouth Community Foodbank.

After a 2-year breather, I’m officially stepping back into weddings — recharged, reenergised, and ready to do what I’ve loved since 2014. I’ve married hundreds of incredible couples over the years, and if you’ve been to one of my ceremonies, you’ll know it’s never just a formality — it’s an experience.

Taking time out gave me perspective, space, and even more appreciation for what this role means. Now, I’m back with a fresh energy, and the same passion that built my brand.

So - the heels are on, and the diary’s open. If you’re after a ceremony that’s warm, relaxed, and unforgettable — let’s talk.

Choosing a celebrant is a big decision, and so reviews can make all the difference!

Reading what others have experienced helps you feel confident in your choice, ensuring your ceremony is professionally delivered, meaningful and runs as smoothly as possible.

It’s your best chance to see how someone else’s big day or farewell went, and how the right celebrant can help make your event just as memorable ✨

Since 2017, I have been supporting families with funerals, memorials, and celebrations of life - creating meaningful tributes that reflect the unique life, values, and personality of their loved ones.

It's amazing how personal histories are like puzzles, with the pieces just waiting to be discovered.

One of the things I love most about being a celebrant is being part of that process, assisting people to gain new insights into their heritage, or being able to help others learn about someone connected to them in a completely new way.

Recently I spoke to RNZ regarding a piece of history that has been uncovered in a century old Bell Block villa. And thanks for sharing this fascinating story with us Peter.

A Taranaki man's home renovation has opened up a window into the past, dating back more than a century.

A heartfelt acknowledgment to the families l've helped care for in the past year, who are navigating their grief during this New Year period.

As the world celebrates fresh beginnings, may we remember those whose hearts stilled before the dawn of 2025, those whose journeys ended too soon, those whose absence will be forever felt.

It's quite hard to promote my funeral work - as I always want to respect the privacy of the families and whanau I work so closely with. But as someone pointed out the other day, l've not posted on my socials at all this year, so I thought it was time for a revisit.

While I still do some weddings, my primary work now is funerals, though I'm reluctant to even refer to it as 'work' because it certainly doesn't feel that way. To be able to help families in their time of greatest need is something I will never take for granted - and I am grateful to the families, and funeral directors who invite me in.

This has allowed me to apply my skills not only as a celebrant but also as a specialist eulogy writer - with a determination that every family will have beautiful words spoken about their loved one after they pass. Regardless of how long someone has lived from their sunrise to sunset, there is a unique story to be told. Every life is extraordinary - and in their most vulnerable moments, many families ask me to write the eulogy of their loved one. That process is cathartic in so many ways - in the recalling of their memories and anecdotes, and which I then present in a loving and insightful way - all about their loved one, all because of their loved one - and reflecting and honouring the life that has been lost.

I also meet with those facing terminal illness who wish to take the lead in the planning of their own farewell. Working with them on this key component of their send-off is very humbling, but ensures that their voice is still heard, even when their story has come to an end.
