Let’s get you love birds hitched

Your wedding celebrant & MC, making it official in Wānaka, and beyond.

Hello! I’m Siobháin (think Shiv-awn), a Wānaka-based wedding celebrant & MC hailing from Ireland. Dulcet tones and Irish accent included.

I’m here to help you mark one of the most important moments of your life. No pressure 😉 And if you decide to go with me, I’m going to spend a fair bit of time getting to know you to ensure your ceremony is spot on – so here’s a little bit about me.

One of my favourite parts about being a marriage celebrant & MC is getting to know each couple. All of the detail please. That way, I can help tell your love story in a carefully crafted wedding ceremony that genuinely reflects you two as a couple. When it comes time to say your I Do’s, there’s a careful balance between marking the occasion for what it is and keeping it light, easy, and relaxed. That sweet spot is different for each couple, and I love the challenge of finding the balance and nailing it.

I celebrate marriages, civil unions, wedding blessings, vow renewals and naming ceremonies. Whether you’re after an elopement celebrant or someone to click with you and your guests,, tips for writing your vows or advice on how to include that special guest in your special day, I’ll be there to guide you through the whole process. Legal bits included. 

As well as a ceremony crafted just for you, for every wedding with “Siobháin the Celebrant” I’ll donate a native plant ($8) to Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust. Te Kākano is a community-based nursery who propagate native plants, and use these plants to restore habitats for our native birds and wildlife. Go on, give your marriage roots in Wānaka. Pun intended.

So, if you’re after a wedding celebrant & MC in the Wānaka area and you’re maybe a little partial to soft Irish accents, give me a bell and let’s chat. I might just be the one. The other one, that is. You’ve already found THE one.

Siobhain you were spectacular! You were an integral part of our special day. You completely understood our vision and were so accepting of our crazy little family. From the minute we met you on our first zoom call with your electric blue nails to you playing with our kids at our rehearsal and then marrying us! You were such a bright light every step of the way. We are so grateful to have met you. You made everything so simple and easy. The questionnaire you sent made writing our vows so much easier and you organised all the logistics of our marriage so we didn’t have to arrange anything. Could not recommend you highly enough!

Siobháin was our celebrant and we are so happy we’ve made the choice to work with her! She’s organized, calm, friendly and responsive. From the very first online meeting (months before the wedding), to the rehearsal, to the ceremony on our wedding day, everything went smoothly and perfectly! Thank you!!!

Stephen & I had the absolute honour of Siobhain as our celebrant for our wedding in Bellagio, Lake Como. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more special. She flew all the way from New Zealand to be with us and put together the most gorgeous, personal, and emotional ceremony. There honestly wasn’t a dry eye in the place, including Siobhain herself
