Marriage Celebrant
Weddings with heart. Moments that matter. Love is personal and your ceremony should be too.
"Why me? you might ask.."
When it comes to your wedding ceremony, you want someone who’s calm, confident, and genuinely invested in making it feel like you. That’s where I come in.
As your celebrant, I’m not just there to tick the legal boxes, I’m there to create a space that feels personal, meaningful, and completely reflective of your love story. Whether you’re planning something small and simple or going all out, I’ll work with you to shape a ceremony that sets the tone for the entire day: heartfelt, relaxed, and memorable for all the right reasons.
It all starts with a no-obligation call where we get to know each other. It’s your chance to share what you're imagining for the day, ask any questions, and see if I’m the right fit for your vibe. I take the time to listen to what matters most to you, the big stuff, the small stuff, and everything in between and I use that to build a ceremony that’s tailored to you, not pulled from a script.
Need help with vows? I’ve got you. Not sure how the legal process works? I’ll walk you through it step by step. Feeling a little nervous about standing up in front of everyone? Don’t worry I’ll keep things grounded, calm, fun and easy to follow, so you feel confident and present in the moment.
In the lead-up to your big day, I’ll stay in touch and make sure everything’s on track. You won’t be left wondering what’s next or scrambling at the last minute you’ll feel completely supported, every step of the way. By the time the big moment arrives, you’ll be able to take a deep breath, look at your person, and know that this ceremony is yours, written with intention, delivered with heart, and remembered for all the right reasons.

Their words...
Here’s what some of our incredible couples had to say about their experience with Sealed with a Kiss.
Mr & Mrs Williams
"Kristy pulled off the impossible - she managed to organise a wedding within 6 weeks in the summer wedding season. It was everything we wanted, simple but happy. She managed to find a private setting looking onto the lake and it was magical. She had thought about all the little details such as a care package in the accommodation and ensuring the garden was ready for a wedding. As a couple coming from the UK it was well organised and she was in regular contact with us throughout the whole process. She made navigating an overseas wedding very easy. It was an extremely happy event and we will cherish the memories.
Thank you!"
Mr & Mrs Dickinson
"We had the most amazing wedding ceremony with the support from Kristy, our marriage celebrant!
Kristy went out of her way to assist us with paperwork, order of ceremony and our wedding vows. She was so warm and caring, made sure we were comfortable with the process and ensured our plans came to fruition. The ceremony was absolutely everything we wanted and more!"
Mr & Mrs Whakatau
"Awesome energy, great speaker, good vibe and highly organised. Couldn't have asked for a better celebrant!! Thank you Kristy."
Mr & Mrs McCabe
"Kristy was an amazing celebrant. After our first video call with her, we knew we had made the right choice. We had no idea what we were doing, where to start or what to do. Kristy took the time to understand us as a couple, our relationship and our family which made us feel valued and understood. She's easy going, helpful, and has a great sense of humour. Kristy talked us through ideas for how the ceremony could go, she made us feel at ease. Kristy put in a lot of her time and energy into creating a beautiful ceremony that was tailored to us. Our wedding day has been one of the best days of our lives and Kristy you have been a big part of it. We are truly grateful and blessed."
Mrs & Mrs Ten Boom-Tuiavii
"Kristy was the best celebrant ever!
She made us feel very comfortable and settled at the ceremony, very professional and just completely read us like a book with her script, amazing words and a very bright light and calming welcoming energy. She helped us a lot with paperwork that we ended up forgetting on our end of the day lucky she had the copy already very straight to the point with everything and honest and helpful with ideas and advice in all other areas as well! thanks Kristy it couldn't have been a better day without you."
Mr & Mrs Poona
"With just 4 weeks to plan our wedding Kristy made the ceremony process so easy. She explained everything and addressed any questions and requests including a change of venue the week of the wedding
Thank you Kristy for being apart of our special day and taking away some of the stress that comes with it. 100% would recommend."

You truly are so amazing at what you do and you made all of the twists, turns and emotions with the rollercoaster of our day so special!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!"
Mr & Mrs Belk

FAQ's

I don’t currently provide a PA system, so if you’re having a larger ceremony, your venue or vendors may need to supply one. I can definitely work with whatever is arranged on the day.
Yes, I’m based in Rotorua and cover the Bay of Plenty and Waikato, but happy to travel further for the right couple and location. A travel fee may apply depending on where your ceremony is held.

No problem, I fully support couples who want guests to be present without phones in their faces. I’ll include a short announcement at the start of your ceremony to politely ask everyone to put their devices away so you can all be in the moment together.
