Born and (mostly) raised in Dunedin, I've had the privilege of living in this city for most of my life. And now, I've had the chance to perform ceremonies in some of it's most beautiful and iconic spots.
When I'm not doing my celebrant duties and working, I'm usually found playing netball & volleyball, in the hot yoga studio, walking dogs, being with family, or having a drink with friends in the sun 🥂
Thanks Kate, we LOVED our ceremony. So impressed with how quickly you got our ceremony planned and how touching and perfect your words were. It was so personalised and exactly what we wanted. You made our special day fun and stress free. We absolutely can't recommend Kate enough as a celebrant!

We are so grateful that Kate officiated our wedding in November 2024. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and took the time to truly understand our vision for the day. Her words during the ceremony were heartfelt and beautifully captured our story, making the moment unforgettable for us and our guests. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding celebrant and wholeheartedly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a warm, thoughtful, and genuine presence on their wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a celebrant do?
My job as a celebrant is to work with each couple to craft their ideal ceremony. I work with you to create something that feels completely personal. I get to know you as a couple, which helps shape the words and the flow, and on the day I guide everything, and take care of all the legal stuff so you can relax and just be in the moment.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better! Most couples get in touch six to twelve months before their wedding, but I've also helped with far shorter timelines! As soon as you have a date in mind, drop me a message and we can check availability.
Do you travel outside of Dunedin?
Definitely! I'm based in Dunedin but I'm happy to travel around Otago and beyond for the right celebration. Travel costs may apply depending on distance.
What happens in our first meeting?
Our first catch-up is relaxed and pressure-free. It's a chance for us to meet, chat about what you're imagining for your ceremony, and see if we're a good fit. I'll walk you through how the process works and answer any questions you have. We can meet over coffee or hop on a video call - whatever suits you best!
How much do you charge?
Every ceremony is a little different, so I put together a quote based on what you need. The best way to get an idea of cost is to get in touch and tell me a bit about your plans. I'm always happy to have a no-obligation chat!
Ready to start planning?
I'd love to hear from you. Let's chat about your ceremony.
