About Me

Kia ora and welcome — I’m Mike Chetty. Proudly South African by birth and a Kiwi by choice, now calling Aotearoa home. I bring calm professionalism and genuine warmth to every ceremony I officiate, ensuring it reflects your story. I am an independent civil union and marriage celebrant, a Humanistic Celebrant, and a validated member of CANZ (Celebrants Association of New Zealand), based here in beautiful Aotearoa.

Whether you’re planning a simple registry-style wedding, an intimate home ceremony, or a joyful celebration surrounded by whānau and friends, my goal is to help you create a moment that feels completely yours.

Every couple’s journey is unique, and I take the time to listen, guide, and craft a ceremony that reflects your love, values, and personality. Warm, professional, and genuinely caring — I’m here to make your wedding day stress-free, memorable, and truly meaningful.

As a Humanistic Celebrant, I believe every ceremony should honour the people at its heart and celebrate the values, connections, and stories that make each relationship unique. My approach is inclusive, respectful, and centred on creating authentic ceremonies that are personal, heartfelt, and full of meaning.

Being a celebrant gives me the privilege of meeting wonderful couples, hearing their stories, and helping them create ceremonies that feel natural, personal, and full of meaning.

Ceremonies

Every couple’s story is unique — and your ceremony should reflect that. I offer a range of options to suit your style, setting, and personality:

Weddings – Beautifully written, heartfelt ceremonies that celebrate your love and journey together.

Registry-Style Weddings – Simple yet meaningful ceremonies that meet all legal requirements while keeping things relaxed and personal.

Civil Unions – Inclusive, respectful, and joy-filled celebrations for all couples.

Vow Renewals – A wonderful way to celebrate your continuing love and shared life.

Naming Ceremonies – A special, non-religious way to welcome a new child into your family circle.

Each ceremony is crafted with care and attention, ensuring it reflects your story, your values, and your vision for the day.
