Mike Walker

Hi, I’m Mike Walker from the Manawatu. I’m a fifth-generation New Zealander, and I’ve always had a deep connection to the land and nature. Growing up on a farm in the King Country, surrounded by native bush, I developed a love for craftsmanship and a passion for woodwork. My roots in the land have shaped my values and my approach to life – simple, genuine, and grounded. Today, I’m the proud owner of a small woodwork business where I create custom pieces that help celebrate life’s most special moments.

As a confident communicator, I relate well with people from all walks of life. My wife and I met during our agriculture degree, and our marriage celebrant made our ceremony a deeply meaningful experience. Now, I love to help others through this important chapter of their lives.

Alongside my work as a woodworker, I am a qualified Independent Celebrant and have completed my Certificate in Celebrant Studies from The Celebrant School. I’m excited to combine my passion for storytelling, craftsmanship, and meaningful celebrations in my role as a celebrant. I look forward to helping you mark your milestones in a memorable and personal way.
