Michelle Dent

I am a born and bred Cantabrian, however I have spent 23 years in Queenstown working and bringing up a wonderful family. I have now relocated back to the beautiful garden city 3 years ago and I love to be close to my Christchurch friends and family.

I am so amazed at the incredible growth this city is embracing and the passion for creating a real new world city for everyone.

My goal and joy is to co- create the perfect, personalised ceremony or service for you and your partner or your loved ones.

I am a Celebrant for both weddings and funerals, and am truly inclusive for all peoples, cultures and lifestyles. I believe it’s so important to mark these special occasions in all our lives, however small or large.

I am a fun, vibrant human with Italian heritage and possess a wonderful friendly, humorous and intuitive nature.

After having travelled extensively I have a great understanding of the cultures and traditions of many countries. I also have a healthy obsession for travel.

I have been happily married to Gary for 20 years and am proud of my big blended family, a daughter, 3 stepsons, 2 stepdaughters and 3 adorable grandchildren!

I love mindful pastimes such as yoga, reading, walking and communing with the amazing natural world Christchurch has an abundance of, especially near home in my Northern Canterbury Beach community.

I have a little cute dog Lenuccia who believes she is a princess (something I encourage!) and I welcome all four legged family members and small children to all my ceremonies!
