EXPERIENCED, INDEPENDENT MARRIAGE CELEBRANT
ABout me
I LOVE MY JOB OF CREATING PERSONAL CEREMONIES FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS, WHICH ARE FUN AND LIGHT-HEARTED HOWEVER STILL TOUCHING ON THE UNIQUENESS AND TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS OF A WEDDING CEREMONY.
Your marriage celebrant plays a crucial role in the way your ceremony is conducted. It is vital to find someone that you feel comfortable with who is experienced and knows how to reflect on you as a couple.
You will find that I am warm & friendly, professional, organised, helpful & fun. I am sensitive to your values, needs & wishes and I am open minded and non judgmental.
On your special day, I will guide you through the ceremony making you feel relaxed and comfortable.
I am well spoken, clear & confident and will conduct your ceremony with warmth and intimacy that you and your guests will feel and remember.
I understand that every ceremony is special and unique and also a privilege to be a part of.
Although Auckland based I also am able to cater to weddings in Mount Maunganui & Mangawhai Heads.
I look forward to hearing from you and planning your special ceremony.
Regards, Laressa ❤️

The birth of your baby … or babies … is such a joyful moment for parents and also for family and friends. A baby naming ceremony enables everyone to celebrate the birth or to welcome a step child or adopted child into the family. Naming ceremonies are a wonderful alternative to baptism. They are normally held in the family home either inside or in the garden. It is a time for parents to appoint other adults into the child’s life.
The ceremony is a way of:
Welcoming the child into the wider family and community
Announce the name of the child and its meaning
Announce parent commitments to the child
Honour grandparents
Choose God parents
Plant a tree
Read poetry and generally celebrate the joyful arrival of your new family addition
