Dawn Parkinson - Celebrant

Dawn Parkinson - Celebrant I'm a down to earth fully trained celebrant able to officiate weddings & funerals and all other life celebrations. Happy to travel throughout NZ.

Also a member of CANZ - Celebrants Association of New Zealand I am a local celebrant who has lived in Marton since June 2005, having moved from England with my Husband Alan. During 2015, I attended the Celebrant School for Celebrants which is located in Auckland. I am so glad that I attended this course as it gave me the background knowlege to become a celebrant. I have 3 children, Sam, Sophie and Thomas who like to keep me on my toes with lots of after school activities.

2012 to 2021 I became a volunteer with 1st Marton Scout Group. Becoming the Assistant Group Leader, Acting Kea Leader, Treasurer, Grants Officer, Hall Monitor and chief fundraiser!

2021 saw me move to Feilding Scout Group as their Kea Leader as sadly due to lack of leaders 1st Marton Scout Group had to close, by the beginning of 2022 I also became their Assistant Group Leader. By the end of 2022, I became the Group Leader of Feilding Scout Group. I am also the administrator for my husbands self employed electrical business.

Today I had the privilege of supporting a beautiful family as they said farewell to a much-loved husband, dad, and friend.
After already honouring him in Taupō, today was another step in their journey of love and remembrance.

My Story

I am a celebrant who has lived in Marton, Rangitkei since June 2005, having moved from England with my Husband Alan. During 2015, I attended the Celebrant School for Celebrants which is located in Auckland. I am so glad that I attended this course. It gave me invaluable information for my role as a celebrant, regarding not only the legalities side of the role, but also the many roles a celebrant has. I am a member of the Celebrants’ Association of New Zealand Inc - CANZ, which provides me with a code of ethics to abide by and also opportunities for professional development.

I have 3 children, Sam, Sophie and Thomas who like to keep me on my toes, all of whom were born in Palmerston North, here in New Zealand. Also I am the treasurer of our local scout group - 1st Marton Scout Group and as my husband is a self employed electrician, I help him with his business too.
