New Zealand’s Leading Marriage Celebrant
A little about me...
Celebrant | MC | Helicopter Pilot
As a seasoned Auckland marriage celebrant, I’m passionate about creating meaningful and memorable wedding ceremonies. With a warm personality, a touch of humor, and a keen eye for detail, I ensure your big day reflects your unique love story in the most beautiful way possible. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, I’m here to make your ‘I Do’s’ truly special.
Roy’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our wedding ceremony truly unforgettable, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a celebrant for their special day.
What To Expect
I work with you to make the planning completely stress-free, in these seven steps.
My fee is $1,610 inc GST (plus travel and accommodation, if required).
1. Our Initial Chat
We meet either in person, or via a video call. I check to make sure I'm available, we discuss my fee, if I need to travel, and then confirm the day, time and location. You pay a 30% deposit.
2. Plan Your Perfect Ceremony
I send you a comprehensive wedding questionnaire for both of you to fill in. Based on the answers from this, I write a ceremony.
I then share a Google Doc with you, which we both work off going forward, collaborating on your perfect ceremony.
3. Sort Out The Reception
If you've also selected me to be your M.C. at the reception, I send you a reception questionnaire. In this we discuss timings (like entrees, dinner, dessert, dancing times), and who is doing speeches. I write a reception and share this with you to check.
4. Order Your Marriage Licence
You need to do this part and I will remind you to do it. It needs to be done (minimum of) three business days before, and it expires after three months.
5. Finalise Everything
We chat again, and I make sure you're 100% happy with the ceremony. I also check that we haven't missed anything, and confirm those last minute details.
The last 35% of my fee will also be due.
6. Practice Makes Perfect
Typically the morning before, we'll do a wedding rehearsal with the bridal party, so everyone knows what to do, how quick to walk down the aisle, and where to stand.
7. Let's do this!
I first give a briefing to the guests before the bride arrives about if they can take their own photos or not, your rules around posting to social media, turning their phones off, and other housekeeping items.
For the ceremony, I follow the script exactly as we've discussed it, so it's what you planned for, and there's no unexpected surprises.
Immediately after the ceremony, I leave one copy of the signed wedding certificate with you, and electronically file the second copy with the registrar.
If I am also MC of the reception, I will co-ordinate the group shots, then make sure the evening goes off without a hitch.
