Welcome! β₯ "I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE people and their stories, so it was a natural progression for me to become a Marriage and Funeral Celebrant. I feel so honoured to be able to share in those special moments in a person or couples life. Being a celebrant isn't a job- it is my passion, and I get to live my passion every day!"" β₯
β₯ GETTING MARRIED? YES! I want to marry you! You have found your celebrant! I love telling stories. I love LOVE
You may want a small and intimate gathering or large and joyous party or something in-between. I can marry YOU where you want and when you want. Any style, and way. You can have a themed, fun, romantic, traditional, spiritual, sunrise, full moon or breakfast wedding .... the list goes on! #loveislove
We can blend any enactments for your wedding day; hand-fastings, sand ceremonies, rose or tree planting, unity candles, wine box and love letter ceremony, rose/gift exchange.
I think your wedding day is a celebration of your love. It should be full of magic, laughter, tears and most of all, love. With fully personalised ceremonies, I can take your guests on a trip down memory lane and share with them your unique love story. Your wedding day should represent who you are and be what YOU want. Have a ceremony designed to your wishes that creates the first, stable stepping stone of your married life.
We all have different wants and needs, so I offer FOUR different wedding packages and prices for you. I would love to be part of your special day. Let's connect and discuss your needs with an obligation FREE chat to see what you need. Not sure what you want - doesn't matter I'm full of good ideas.
β₯ ABOUT ME I am a hopeless romantic. I love people and love their stories. I have a passion for passion, passion for life and passion for people. I love to write. I love to talk in the format of people. I have been a teacher, salon owner/hairdresser, and I am now in my perfect role as a celebrant. I have seen a lot, learnt a lot and know a lot about people, organisation, balance and life.
I live with my fiancee (yes, I'm planning a wedding too!) and have a 17 and 20-year-old so understand children and blended families.
I am qualified and trained with a Diploma In Celebrant Studies the Celebrant School, accomplished Public Speaker and Emcee (I'm President for Alpine Toastmasters ) Over the years I have run many events, weekend workshops for groups with 500 being my largest. Since my journey as a celebrant, I have married lots of couples across South Canterbury, Canterbury, North Otago and Central Otago with my largest wedding over 200 hundred and my smallest 5.
I love to laugh, love to chat, and I am super-duper organised. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my celebrant role and can take stress and pressure of you, knowing that I am here, helping your day be perfect.
Let's connect and have an obligation-free chat at my office or local cafe. Whatever suits you.
It is not just LOVE I celebrate but all milestones in LIFE as well.
Name giving, renewal of vows, memorials, special birthdays, anniversaries ..... the list goes on. They all deserve a ceremony that captures the moment in this part of your life. Connect to discuss what you need.

β₯ END OF LIFE It can be a difficult time coping with sadness and grief and trying to organise a funeral. I can come to you and hear your loved ones' life story and craft a personalised service that represents who they are. I can craft a ceremony that captures their essence and has special meaning for family and friends. A ceremony that is about them. I believe funerals play an important role to help us cope with our grief and creates a meaningful and relevant way to say goodbye.
Connect with me and let's see how we can work together. I offer a 20-minute obligation-freee meeting at my office or via skype, to see if I am the right celebrant for you.
I welcome people from the LGBT community, all walks of life, religions, ethnicity and beliefs.
Canβt wait to meet you! Connect with me and let's see how we can work together.
Smiles, Jade
