Hi, I’m Anita

I’m a registered Independent Marriage Celebrant, based in the Waikato and working right across te ika a Maui, the North Island. 

Your marriage ceremony is a big life step as a couple - it’s the moment that you formally commit to one another as partners and mates for life. As your celebrant, I help you navigate this big moment and celebrate in a way that feels authentic to you. Each ceremony is personalised - this is your story and I’m here to help you tell it.

Plus, I do the paperwork!

I was born in Kirikiriroa Hamilton in the 80s, and my mum and dad grew up in Ngatea and Tairāwhiti-Gisborne respectively. Our ancestors are from England and Ireland mostly, although, like most immigrants, some of our family history has a few gaps. I live in Hamilton East with my husband Josh and our dog Daphne.

Your wedding day is all about you. But, to put your mind at ease when thinking about engaging me as your celebrant, here are some things you may like to know: I have a strong background in speech and drama, public speaking, broadcast radio and event management; I am punctual, organised, and understand how to manage multiple priorities; and, most importantly, I blimmin’ LOVE a good wedding.
