About Me:

With my guidance and experience I can help create your customised ceremony suit your style. I believe in equality. It doesn’t matter who you love, what matters is that you have love in your life!

Luckily I live near the beach just north of the beautiful Kapiti Coast with my super supportive husband and our 2 very pampered cats. I love animals and pets, especially including pets in wedding ceremonies, after all they are part of the family too!

A question I often get asked is why did I become a Celebrant and the answer is… I’ve always wanted to for ages because I love the rituals and structure to ceremonies especially the songs and music. It’s kind of like putting on a stage show, though on a more intimate scale. I get nervous every time, we only get one go at this once in a lifetime occasion and I care heaps about making sure it all goes well. Also it’s really great to get to do public speaking without the focus being on me, it’s all about you as a couple, along with your support crew of friends, family and guests all having fun together on your special day.

I love themes even subtle things like a colour scheme or general overall look. I can work in with your theme including what I wear on the day (I love dressing up) and planning what I wear to your ceremony is all part of the fun for me.

I have been Registered as an Independent Marriage Celebrant since 2018.

I have achieved my Certificate in Celebrancy and the Toastmasters Certificate in Communication.

I am a Validated member of the Celebrants Association of New Zealand (VCANZ).

Thank-you so much for yesterday, you were lovely and so great that you got to be a part of our day. We had lots of comments from guests about how much they liked the ceremony. I just wanted to write to say thank-you, it was a super part of a lovely day.

Thanks so much for yesterday! We had such a fun day we were laughing so much!

We loved having Rita as our celebrant. We didn’t know how we wanted our ceremony to be so Rita’s knowledge and ideas were extremely helpful. She went out of her way create a wedding ceremony that was truly unique to us and our personalities. Something we will remember forever!

Rita was an amazing celebrant. I couldn't have asked for someone more knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the ceremony. Rita was very easy going and relaxed which helps the nerves a lot! Most definitely recommend... also hope I wouldn't need her Celebrant services again. But wouldn't hesitate to have her again if needed, even as an MC

It was truly a wonderful experience and we will never forget it, you are a gem and we loved having you be a part of it with us.
