Co-creating memorable experiences is my forte, developing bespoke ceremonies is my new found love. Through operating my event management and catering business for twenty years, I discovered the joy of bringing people together to create unique memories. With all this valuable experience and passion behind me, celebrancy felt the next natural step in my path. I graduated from The Celebrant School, devoted to bringing  ceremonies to life. I am dedicated to embracing love in all its beautiful, unique forms with ceremonies authentically honoring diversity and culture. I am a proud advocate of the LGBTTQIAP+ community, and are currently embracing, learning Te reo Maori.  I am committed to tailoring your ceremony to reflect your cultural practices, beliefs, personalities and styles. Your special day is all about bringing you both together while sharing your unique love story with family and friends in a way that’s authentically you.  I feel it is my duty to capture the vast love you have for one another and translate it into a celebratory moment in time.

“A moment so fleeting, yet forever. A moment that in ten, twenty, thirty years will still give you butterflies like it happened yesterday. A moment shared with loved ones who will feel closer to you than ever before. This moment is yours, and together we will shape it into an unforgettable one”.

To add, we have recently completed the build and interior design of a boutique lodge overlooking the picturesque Lake Hayes and the mountainous Central Otago surroundings. This spot is perfect for hosting intimate ceremonies. So whether you are looking for a grand or intimate ceremony, together we can co-design a celebration of love that you will both adore and remember forever.

To be your celebrant would be an honour and to witness your love would be a privilege. To love and be loved is a gift – I’ll bring the paper and ribbon, you tie the knot.- Erin Hill, Celebrant
