NZ Marriage & Funeral Celebrant
“We were so lucky to have Debbie as our celebrant for our elopement. Everything was absolutely perfect. She made the whole process so easy, with fast communication and super quick responses to any questions we had. We’re also incredibly grateful that she allowed us to use her beautiful home/garden as our venue.
Debbie has such a kind, warm nature and made our day feel completely stress-free. She even arranged a small wedding cake and bubbles for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel even more special.
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Highly recommend!”

I have been a NZ marriage and funeral celebrant since 2017, helping more than 350 couples to ‘get hitched’ and working with nearly 100 families to farewell their loved ones.
I have a very relaxed style but I am also really well organised. I love to meet people of other cultures and have found ways to include various languages and cultures in a New Zealand ceremony. It’s on my bucket list to do a helicopter flight and wedding ceremony in Queenstown, so call me if that interests you!
I also work for the Celebrants Training College, teaching marriage and funeral celebrants all the intricacies of ceremony and helping them to attain a Diploma of Celebrancy.
I have also been a primary school teacher for 40 years so I specialise in including children in ceremonies.
I love technology and spending hours in my craft room. I am famous for my positivity and belly laughs.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and being able to create a special ceremony for you.
Kind words from couples and families I’ve worked with as their Tauranga wedding and funeral celebrant.
Bridget and I both feel very privileged to have Debbie be our wedding celebrant. Also, all our guests were very impressed with the ceremony and amazing role Debbie played to make the day a very special occasion. Debbie helped us at every step of the way, gave us advice when we needed it and reminded us that the day was all about the love we share. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Debbie!

We want to thank you for the beautiful service you conducted for Mum. You captured her spirit so perfectly; if felt as though you had known her for years. Your words brought us a great deal of comfort and helped us celebrate her life exactly as she would have wanted.
