Everyone’s idea of getting married is different. Here are the different options I can offer you as your celebrant.

REGISTRY OFFICE CEREMONY β $90
So, youβre wanting a straight-forward ceremony at your home or a local spot, with set vows and script? Done! This is the basic, no-frills option. No venues or photography allowed. See FAQs for a Registry Ceremony.
As an authorised VCANZ Registry Celebrant, I can do this for you. All you need to do is organise two witnesses, and your marriage licence ($150), and it will cost just $90 to have me as your celebrant. It couldnβt be more simple.
ELOPEMENT β $400
($100 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your elopement)
Elope away with your greatest love, embracing your freedom of choice: marrying where you want, when you want, and with the handful of guests you want!
Throw away the rule book of organising a big, traditional wedding by choosing to elope!
Here are some reasons people choose to elope: because itβs an utterly authentic, βjust usβ experience; intimacy and intention; less family drama (someone had to say it β ha!); valuing experiences over stuff; far less stress and anxiety; less planning; and life is meant to be an adventure β so why not elope away for the love of fun! And each other!
ELOPEMENT PACKAGE β from $999
($200 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your elopement)
All of the awesomeness from an elopement with the added option of a photographer. I work with four talented photographers, to ensure thereβs always someone available for your beautifully relaxed, stress-free elopement. It includes:
- maximum of 10 adult guests (anymore and it becomes a Micro Wedding)
- personalised ceremony (Kineta will help you write your vows)
- elopement certificate with your witnesses signatures on it
- photos during ceremony
- up to 1 hour of photos onsite (this includes the ceremony)
- an online gallery of your elopement images
MICRO WEDDING β $550
($150 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your micro wedding)
Perhaps youβd just like up to 30 people to attend your wedding, but youβd still like it to be a bespoke, personalised ceremony, still walking up the aisle to music, and writing your own vows. A Micro Wedding is the perfect choice for you!
Hereβs what you can expect:
- An initial meeting to discuss and plan your ceremony
- From what you paint as your vision for the day, I will then set about creating your ceremony, and offering some advice and ideas. I can also help with your vows and give you some ideas for other things you might like in your ceremony, too
- As many emails and calls with me as you need
- Conducting the ceremony
- Keepsake vow booklets
- A keepsake certificate β with your witnesses signatures on it
- This option does not include a rehearsal or use of my PA and microphone
MICRO WEDDING PACKAGE – from $1570
Take the stress out of planning your small weekday wedding, by booking an all-in-one Micro Wedding package from North Canterbury Weddings.
We make it easy for any couple wanting an intimate and affordable wedding from as little as $1600.

By booking this package, you get venue, photographer, celebrant and cake. There are also extras you can add on too.
For all other ceremony types, including a traditional wedding, vow renewal, baby naming ceremony, etc, just flick me a message to check my availability.
