Ruby Mallia and Sam Mallia the sweetest couple there ever was!

E & K - just wow! I absolutely adored this stunning venue Paripuma Coastal Accommodation & Native Garden in Blenheim, I felt like I had been transported to Italy. Such a lovely and gorgeous couple inside and out.

Hello lovely couples!

To anyone thinking about enquiring and to those who have already enquired with me please continue reading:

I wanted to let you know that I have decided I won’t be taking any bookings for next 23/24 season until early April. (If I’ve already emailed you individually please ignore this).

This is due to the number of recent enquiries and because I’m currently in the thick of the beautiful wedding season chaos and don’t have the time or capacity for any new meetings. I also want and need to focus on my current couples 🥰 I’m completely aware that many of you will want to book before then and that’s absolutely no problem. I understand and wish you all the best for your day! I will be taking far less bookings next season too.

Have a happy summer ☀️

Marrying your friends at the spot you got married 🥹 I had the best day celebrating Laura and Sam at Trents. A very personal ceremony full of love and laughter , canapés in the sunshine followed by dancing under the stars ✨

It really makes my day seeing your photos 😍

How stunning is this ceremony at Waipuna Estate. I only met these two on the day as unfortunately their lovely celebrant was sick. It all turned out so well and they were super grateful to have someone similar step in. Luckily we have an amazing and supportive group of celebrants that help each other out last minute 👏🏻❤️

“It’s like rain on your wedding day”

This was such a fun rainy wedding! How pretty is a Pemberton wedding under the Pergola, a pretty good plan b if you ask me! I left looking like a wet dog but it was so worth it 🌧🐶

I'm super excited to have set majority of my couples up with My Celebrant today! If you have already booked with me for Dec 2022 onwards you should have an email waiting for you. My Celebrant App will be so great for the busy wedding season ahead, a one stop shop to keep everything organised. If you're still looking for a celebrant this is the place to go! https://mycelebrantapp.co.nz/ #/

Winter weddings are so spesh and even more so when you get to marry your close friends ❤️ how amazing does the Coca Art Gallery look? Followed on by a reception at The Great Hall and honestly it was perfection! Along with the bride of course 🎀👰‍♀️😍

Hello love birds 🕊

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be responding to messages or emails over the next 2 months as I am heading away on a big trip. I’m so looking forward to a break before the next wedding season kicks off in full force. It’s going to be a goodie! 🤵🏻👰🏻 If your enquiry is for next season I’m fully booked up until April 2023.

Thanks for your understanding,

The lighting for this wedding was out the gate! It had become darker as I was doing the housekeeping and as the bride appeared so did the sun. It was spectacular! Trents will always be special for me as this is where my husband and I got married but I especially loved it in Autumn 🍂

My first elopement and what a special one it was! We went on a helicopter to Little Port Cooper and Mt Herbert. Katie and Shane it was an honour to be there to share your day. Champagne + views = the perfect wedding 🍾🥂🚁🌄

Madeleine and Rob, what an honour to marry you. I loved your intimate evening ceremony at the Tannery, that exclusive after closing time vibe is 💯 On this day I had two weddings in one day so was feeling the love massively. Being a celebrant is simply the best! Congratulations 👏🏻

How stunning is this venue and couple!? It was an honour to marry you Charlotte and Ed 🤵👰

"You were so lovely, professional and an essential part of our big day. We loved it any wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Thank you for bringing the calm, we were so nervous and emotional up there but I could breathe a bit knowing you had it all sorted and we just had to follow your lead. Best day ever. EVER"

It was so special to marry Ashleigh and Tom where Sam and I got married back in 2016!

"We honestly cannot thank you enough for being our celebrant, you were more than we could have asked for and we are so fortunate to have had you be a part of our special day.
From the beginning to end you were an absolute dream to work with, our ceremony script read as though you had known us for years - it was perfection. I cannot recommend you enough, not only for being so damn good at your job but for genuinely being such a brilliant human."

This is why I love what i do for a job. Congratulations Ashleigh and Tom and thank you!

Congratulations to Dani and Ben! 👰🏻🤵🏻 Even the bar staff had tears in the ceremony which says a lot about their love. I went to school with Dani and now look after their adorable son Walter so it was very special for me to be able to marry them ❤️👶 and how cute is baby Walt!?

The first photo was taken when I was still on an absolute high after marrying S & S in 2020. They were the first couple I married who put their faith in me even when they didn’t really know me. I was so excited and equally nervous too. It all went well and I managed to hold back the tears as it was an emotional ceremony. As soon as the ceremony was finished I knew it was the right job for me ❤️

A picturesque setting at Broadfield Gardens (humans included). One of my favourite things about marrying these two is that after they booked me as their celebrant and the next time we saw each other was dancing in the rain to Zed playing live at the Christchurch Wine Festival. From then on we all knew it was going to be great and we were the perfect fit! ☔️🎶

When two close friends of mine asked me to be their celebrant it was such an honour I couldn’t resist! From there everything grew organically and marrying couples is now my passion. Their wedding was a very special day for me. Not only because two beautiful friends became husband and wife but because I was up there with them and feeling their love and emotions 👰🏻❤️🤵🏻
