It's time to tell your love story...

Hi there!

It’s lovely to meet you!

A big congratulations on taking the next step in your relationship. As you embark on this next chapter of commitment, I’m here to help guide you as you prepare to share your precious and unique love story.

So let’s jump on in!

About me

As a former journalist, and now working in the music industry, my career to date has been dedicated to people, experiences and story-telling. As a celebrant, I adore the fact this privileged role combines all three things alongside the most important ingredient of all – love! 

I believe the best ceremonies are those that perfectly reflect you as a couple while also bringing in your friends and family on the magic. 

As an open-minded, relaxed, warm, and engaging celebrant, my ultimate mission is to make sure your ceremony is quintessentially you, stress-free and a day to remember! 

 

Making it your day

Whether a simple, intimate ceremony, elopement, vow renewal or a big wedding – I’ll work with you to craft a bespoke ceremony that perfectly reflects you as a couple and your unique love story.

Ceremony prices

My rates begin from $350 – this includes a $100 non-refundable deposit. Once we determine what your day will look like, I can provide a clear quote for you to consider.

Locations

I service the Auckland region but I am also happy to travel for your big day! Please note travel costs will be additional to the ceremony fee for events outside of Auckland.

1. Let's talk!

Get in touch with me for a free, no-obligation chat either in person or over zoom.

2. Planning the ceremony

It’s time to start building your ceremony! We catch up 2-3 times to learn about you and your love story and I’ll start writing your ceremony with plenty of opportunities for you to review and make changes.

3. Ceremony finesse + legalities

We make the final tweaks to the script and your ceremony, and I’ll guide you through the official legal steps including applying for your marriage licence.

4. The big day!

It’s finally here – I’m here to support you and if you wish to have a rehearsal, we can discuss that too!

Love notes

Alexandra & Richard

We were so lucky to have Ciara as our celebrant.

From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves love. She guided us through the entire process with so much care and clarity, and our ceremony felt natural and so us.

Many of our guests commented on the warmth and sincerity she brought to our ceremony, and truly made it feel personal and meaningful.

We couldn’t imagine a better person to marry us!

Hannah & Liam

It felt so special to have Ciara marry my husband and I. From the very beginning, we knew she would be the perfect fit for us. In the lead-up to our ceremony, Ciara took the time to really get to know Liam and I — she listened to what mattered to us, guided us through the process, and made sure everything reflected who we are as a couple.

On the day itself, Ciara was everything you’d want in a celebrant: calm, professional, and organised, but also warm, genuine, and full of heart. She was so kind to our families and made everyone feel at ease.

What stood out most was how flexible and supportive she was — she seamlessly fit around what we wanted while also making sure all the important legal parts were handled perfectly. The whole ceremony felt relaxed, personal, and exactly right for us.
