"Erin was amazing to work with! She made the whole process easy from the moment we met her on zoom right up until the actual ceremony. She made the process of writing vows and the ceremony seem easy and stress free and she's so lovely and easy going.

We were super happy with our ceremony :)"

“We just had our dream wedding at The Stables in Matakana with Erin as our celebrant.

Erin took the time to get to know us and our story before the big day. This involved a couple of catch ups, a number of emails and reminders about key dates. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted with a mix of tradition and a bit of humour.

Erin also went out of her way to help with table decorations and much more. Thanks to Erin, we had our dream wedding and will remember it for the rest of our lives”

"Before I go on, in short: Erin is your person!

Erin is beautiful inside and out, and so easy going! She is whatever you need her to be as a celebrant and does so with a smile on her face.

We opted for an intimate elopement and Erin offered some great advice which was super helpful as we were clueless. Thanks to Erin and her guidance, our day was so special.

I have been to many weddings, but the way Erin ran our ceremony was so seamless and engaging. Our guests loved Erin and the way she weaved our love story together. We were taken back by the fact Erin added Samoan & Māori parts throughout the ceremony, and all the other personal touches. There are so many things I could write.

It is no surprise to me that these reviews are all 5 stars, and I although I will only marry once, if I could do it again, we would pick Erin over and over and over.

"Erin was the celebrant for our elopement at her stunning property overlooking beautiful Lake Hayes. From the moment we introduced ourselves leading up to our special day, we found Erin to be extremely warm and professional with a self assured, relaxed and calming nature.

She has the loveliest engaging personality and just makes you feel totally at ease. We loved the little touches all done in such classy but effortless style. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for the absolute best in the business."

"Honestly Erin, you were absolutely amazing. Having you as our celebrant and use of your stunning property to have our wedding was the absolute highlight of our wedding. We honestly can't believe how lucky were to have found you. You were a fantastic celebrant, all the little details were just beautiful. We didn't have to worry about a thing.

Thank you again so much"

"Erin was the celebrant for our wedding in September 2019 and what an amazing experience! Erin was not only our celebrant but also our breath of fresh air with an abundance of ideas, support and calming influence.

Erin goes the extra mile in every aspect, writing an amazing ceremony, setting up, organizing everybody on the day. We didn't need to worry about a thing as we knew she had it taken care of. Erin has a very bespoke approach to her ceremonies and really catered to our wishes and desires.

Thanks so much Erin."

Erin officiates a couples wedding on the beach

It all began when Tony contacted me a couple days after Christmas. He spoke of his desire to surprise his wife to be by organising a spur of the moment ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. The ceremony was to be held on a remote island in the Hauraki Gulf which he had organised under the disguise of a camping holiday.

Cautious of the short timeframe we had to work with, I was eager to create a ceremony they would both cherish. On the 13th of January, boats gathered, and the clatter of descending anchor chains echoed in the bay. With the help of the Bride and Groom’s friends and family a bespoke ceremonial space was created from driftwood, shells and tumbleweed.

Our ceremony began to the soft gentle sound of rolling waves upon the shore and the Aotearoa sun shone bright and warm. Carole and Tony declared their love for one another in their own slice of paradise, amongst the sparkling blue waters and the calls of New Zealand nature. At the conclusion of our ceremony, the children gathered to sing Pokarekare Ana, closing what can only be called a perfect day.
