TYING THE KNOT ADVERTORIAL
Being a marriage celebrant How do we choose a celebrant that will help our day reflect who we are? Making sure the ceremony is all about the couple, their hopes and dreams is important and makes it a very special event to be part of. I personally write all ceremonies from scratch and believe there can never be too many draft copies. Including family and friends in your ceremony can also help add that personal touch. Making sure everyone can hear clearly during the ceremony is vital, so check your celebrant has a good sound system that works well at any venue. Holding a rehearsal will also help to make the day run smoothly and assist with those pre-wedding nerves. Having a professional who works closely with you ensures you will look back on your day with the happiest of memories. Celebrants who are members of the Celebrants Association of New Zealand work to a code of ethics. They have training opportunities and access to a wide range of resources. To be closely involved with a couple on their wedding day is a role I take very seriously which is why I undertook training at the Celebrant School in Auckland from 2009–2010. I encourage all couples to find a celebrant they trust and can have fun with and know that their ceremony will
