Based in Christchurch and North Canterbury, NZ.
Helping people make their milestones into beautiful memories since 2009
- by writing innovative ceremonies and offering the highest level of service
​with heart, fun and attention to detail.

Having said that, the environment for ceremonies is always changing, especially now with COVID very much in our consciousness.
People want more options - smaller, simpler, more affordable occasions amidst the uncertainty.

So, in terms of weddings, there is the option to have a legal, government Registry Ceremony for $90. See my 'Registry Wedding' page for more details.

OR choose my modern elopement ceremony, which is $200 for locals and a wee bit more for further afield. A set script with a few options for personalisation and the writing of personal vows. Get in touch if this sounds like you and I can talk you through it. Conditions apply.

OR set up a meeting with me to discuss your plans and I can give you a quote for my full, personalised service with all the bells and whistles. See The Process page for more info. The price will depend on all the factors of what, where, when etc... and be based on an hourly rate for my time, travel and expertise. These occasions range from $545 - $745 - AKA, the Bronze, Silver and Gold packages.
For anything even more bespoke (surprise weddings, night time party weddings etc...) get in touch and we can come up with a fair price together. Easy.

"Dear Jane,
Thanks so much for tying the knot for us.  From woe to go you were so on top of your game and you made everything seem easy and relaxed... you are a true professional..."
Kerri and Ross, 2020 

I am passionate about my job and I take care of my clients. (see the Testimonial page for the proof!).
Love is love - no discrimination here.
Having performed hundreds of varied ceremonies since that first, slightly nerve-wracking one years ago, I still get the same buzz every time. Satisfaction comes from seeing people have a greater experience than they ever expected. You're in safe hands.

Experienced in:
So, let’s meet and have a chat. You can see if I am the right person for your occasion and the process of working together can begin.
Don’t worry if you don’t live in New Zealand, or near me in North Canterbury, we can always chat on WhatsApp/Zoom/Messenger/Skype.....
I’m happy to negotiate travel to anywhere in our beautiful country - fulfil your dream for where, when and what your ceremony is to be,
​and I’ll be there.

Warmest wishes
​Jane
