Elaine Spearman (she/her)

Congratulations on picking the date for your big day!

I’d love to help you create a memorable occasion, full of joy and meaning – one you’ll look back on and cherish.

The ceremony is absolutely all about you and what you want. My role will be to listen to your wishes, help you craft a warm and memorable day, be a safe and calm pair of hands from “go” to “whoa”, do all the relevant legal bits – and add the “sparkle” you deserve. All of which I’ll do in a fun, friendly and caring way. I’d be delighted to help you create your own vows and assist you to write and rehearse your speeches, helping put you at ease if this is something you find daunting.

I live in Central Auckland with my husband and my background takes in Public Relations, public speaking, and communications consulting. I specialise in presentation skills training and have a passion for acting and considerable experience in both those areas.

My decision to become a celebrant was sparked by many friends who felt I had both the skills and personality to bring something special to the celebrant’s role. That spark was fuelled by my love of bringing people together and my desire to help them mark the various events in their lives in a way that’s genuine and meaningful. It’s a role I love!

I can officiate at ceremonies both during the week and on weekends.

I look forward to hearing your plans!
