Rita was an absolutely amazing officiant, and we couldn't have imagined our ceremony going any smoother.
She was calm, confident, and charming, she allowed space for both light-hearted and emotional moments, and she seemed genuinely touched and invested in our day.
We are so thankful for the work she put in, and would recommend working with her to any couples planning their wedding!

"Rita was so lovely and easy to work with as we planned our wedding. We didn’t get to meet in person until the week before the wedding, as we live in Auckland, but this was no problem as Rita is great at communication - even with us being super last minute with our vows! She designed a beautiful ceremony for us and captured our relationship perfectly.
It was a joy to have Rita stay for our reception, with many of our guests commenting on how friendly she was.
We would 100% recommend Rita to anyone planning a wedding. Our special day was absolutely perfect we couldn’t be happier to have had Rita as our celebrant.
Thank you."

"We just wanted to express our gratitude to you for being our celebrant for our wedding. Your easy-going demeanor and calm approach made our wedding all the more enjoyable, despite the grey and cloudy day.
Thank you for being patient with us with our vows, and questionnaire and always taking the time to answer all of our questions.
Throughout the entire process, you remained calm, collected, and focused on ensuring that everything went smoothly. You went above and beyond to make sure that all of our guests felt comfortable and included, and your friendly personality helped to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Your joke about Richie being the dog and Karl being the groom went down a treat!
We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. Your professionalism and expertise were truly appreciated, and we are so grateful to have had you as a part of our big day."

"Thank you for all your hard work, effort and talent Rita. We are so grateful that you were part of our special day xo.
We hired Rita as our wedding celebrant and MC for our special day. She is so lovely, she really made an effort
to get to know us and walked us through all the "boring" paperwork etc.
On our wedding day, Rita did an incredible job at giving us a personalised ceremony and reception. She is great at her job and we highly recommend her for both celebrant and MC services.”

"Rita was absolutely fantastic to work with and I couldn't recommend her more.
Straight away from our initial phone call I knew I wanted her to be our Celebrant as she was so kind, lovely and calming too. Not to mention knowledgeable.
She took charge and created a beautiful ceremony full of such sweet sentiments and told our love story with such warmth."

"When we first met Rita she took the time to get to know us as a couple and discussed different ideas as to how we could integrate who we are into our ceremony.
Our ceremony was personalised and fun. Rita was so friendly and professional. She coordinated with other vendors to ensure everybody was on the same page.
We got amazing feedback from our friends and family about Rita as our celebrant. Rita also printed our vows on special cards to read during the ceremony which we got to keep - a lovely touch! Thank you so much Rita for everything."
