Rachel Clarke (she/her)

I bring a warm, friendly yet professional approach  to my work as a full-time celebrant, alongside my skills and experience as a nurse and educator.  My role is to make the process as easy as possible for you whilst having fun together along the way.

In working with you and your family/whānau; my aim is to create a ceremony with you, that is uniquely yours. Whatever the occasion, your story is the heart of your ceremony.

I am committed to working with diversity and individuality and their creative expression in ceremony.  I offer a willingness to work and learn alongside all clients  to develop culturally enriched ceremonies. A keen learner of te reo Māori, I am committed to the correct use of te reo Māori and tikanga and am keen to learn together with whānau about their requirements.

I work across the Wairarapa & wider Wellington area but am happy to negotiate travel to alternate locations as required.

I look forward to working with you.

Ngā mihi nui, Rachel
