It is so important to me that your ceremony feels like you two.

When we work together to create your ceremony, everything is created bespoke and unique to you.

More than that, I want you to feel like a friend is up there with you, and know that your ceremony is everything that you want it to be.

And I will always pour my heart into creating a wedding ceremony that is so uniquely you two, and will leave your family & friends thinking…

“That was so them.”

What does working with me include?

• An initial (and totally obligation-free!) meeting so that I can answer any of your questions, talk you through my process, and most importantly, work out if we are right for each other. The moment you two get married is arguably the most important moment, so you want to make sure you have the right person!

• At least one pre-wedding meeting (and of course, unlimited communication in-between!) and a few sneaky questionnaires so that I can get to know you both (and you get to know me!) and create a ceremony that perfectly reflects you two.

• Access to my ‘Welcome Book’ - an e-book jam-packed with inspiration for your wedding ceremony, information on things you may not have had a chance to think about, nitty-gritty details about the legal requirements, tips and tricks for writing your own vows, and more (so many of my beautiful couples have said how much they valued this, which is the best!).

• If you want to write your own vows, some cute little cotton vow books to read them from with your names on the front.

• Access to me as your ‘third person’ to look at your vows and help you where you need it, as well as make sure you two are on the same page and ensure that the ceremony we’ve created doesn’t take away from that moment!

• The inclusion of any & all personal touches to your ceremony, plus as many changes to your ceremony as you two would like, right up to your wedding day.

• Unlimited email & phone communication, as well as unlimited recommendations, tips & advice (of course!).

• A reminder to apply for your Marriage Licence (and info on how to do this!) when the time comes (definitely something you don’t want to forget!) and all relevant documents submitted to BDM following your ceremony.

• A rehearsal (if you would like one), so that everyone involved in your ceremony feels completely confident and happy with what will happen on your wedding day.

• Assurance that my outfit on the day will fit with your aesthetic - you are also welcome to scroll through the ‘gram to pick an outfit, too!

• Your one-of-a-kind ceremony, written completely from scratch & completely bespoke.

• Use of my PA system & microphone during your ceremony, if needed/wanted. This can also be used to play music if you are using a playlist!*

• More than anything, a celebrant who will go out of her way to make sure your ceremony is completely you two and that you both love that moment of your day!

You can read more about the nitty gritty bits below…

*Just a wee note about this - just to make sure you remember to have a sound system to switch over to for when I head off to submit your legals, and I highly recommend having a trusted person to control the music during your ceremony - even better if they can be at your rehearsal!

And what about the cost?

Your investment for the ‘Something More Us’ package for the 2025/2026 season is $950.00.

This reflects the time and energy that I pour into getting to know you two, creating your completely bespoke ceremony, ensuring all of the legal requirements are covered, making sure that I fit with the aesthetic for your wedding, creating helpful resources, the availability of my PA system for us, the experience and the skills to ensure your ceremony is perfect for you two on the day, and a whole lot more.

The Nitty Gritty Bits

To lock me in for your wedding, simply pop me an email! Let me know your date & location, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can to let you know whether I am (hopefully!) available, and to set up an obligation-free catch-up!

If you’re thinking, we know we want you for our ceremony! That’s just fabulous. Love your decision-making! Simply let me know via email and we can get started!

Your investment for my creation of your bespoke ceremony for the 2025/2026 season is $950.00. If your wedding is beyond (or before!) this, please pop into my inbox for an updated amount.

To lock your date in, I’ll ask you to pop through a 20% booking fee.

If your wedding is outside of Christchurch and the surrounding areas, I may also ask for a small travel fee. This is calculated per KM based on the current IRD rate. If your wedding location is located more than 1 hour by car or requires a plane trip, additional travel and/or accommodation may be required and will be quoted to you before booking.

You might also like to pop to my FAQs, where I’ve included some questions you might have!

But what if we don’t feel like a bespoke ceremony is us?!

That is absolutely more than okay! Just like it is so important that a bespoke ceremony feels wholeheartedly like the two people it is about, your wedding day, as a whole, should also feel wholeheartedly like you.

If you have something else in mind for your day, such as a simple ceremony, an elopement or a vow renewal, or perhaps you’re after an MC too, you are more than welcome to pop me a message with the details, and I’ll get back to you ASAP either with more information or with some recommendations of other wonderful celebrants who may be a little better suited!

I know that I love pouring my heart into creating bespoke ceremonies, and that is why the majority of my ceremonies are just that. But, of course, I still love a romantic elopement, a meaningful vow renewal and staying on to be MC occasionally!

Some kind words

From the first meeting with Court we knew she was the exact person we were looking for to be our celebrant. Court is so lovely and made everything so seamless. Throughout the whole process and leading up to the wedding Court went above and beyond anything expected. Court had some amazing ideas and was always there to answer our emails straight away. It was such a breeze and made this part of our planning so fun.

On the day of our wedding Court was truly AMAZING! Our ceremony was so memorable, exactly us to a tee and better then we could have ever hoped for! We have had so much feedback from friends and family around our ceremony and how fantastic Court was. Court you honestly did such a great job, our ceremony couldn't have been more us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

- Samantha & Stu

“Court was absolutely incredible! From the moment I was first in contact with her to over a year later and after we were married Court had the best communication which I found to be so important in planning etc.

The ceremony was something we were both nervous for as we don’t like a lot of attention or public speaking but it ended up being one of my favourite parts of the day and that’s all thanks to Court! The ceremony was 100% us and what we wanted and as soon as we were standing up at the alter I felt at ease.

I would recommend Court to anyone getting married and can’t thank her enough for the most beautiful ceremony that we will remember forever!”

- Maggie & Max

“Courtenay is brilliant.

We really loved the whole process from initial meeting to ceremony! Court did such a great job, and made sure our ceremony really felt like us. Everyone that was there commented on how great the ceremony and Court was. Court went above and beyond with the whole process including all the information provided which kept it simple for us and stress free.

We cannot recommend Court highly enough. Thank you Court!”
