Lynda Mcgill

At 60 years young, I bring nine years of experience as a registered marriage celebrant — and a lifetime of heart — to every ceremony I create. Alongside my celebrant work, I’m a full-time locomotive engineer with KiwiRail, a role I absolutely love and am deeply passionate about. Driving trains has taught me precision, calm under pressure, and the importance of showing up — qualities I carry into every wedding day.

I’m also a proud mum of two grown children and Nana to eleven adorable grandchildren, so love, family, and a little bit of joyful chaos are very much at the centre of my world.

Working alongside couples to create a ceremony that truly reflects who they are is one of my greatest privileges. Whether your vibe is heartfelt and intimate, relaxed and fun, or somewhere in between, I’ll craft a personalised ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
