Celebrant. Trainer. Mentor. Sports fan. Gin lover. CANZ member. And a fantastic cheerleader for your success.
Tasha first thought, “I’d love to do that,” when she considered becoming a celebrant. It took her 10 years to finally take the leap — and her advice to anyone thinking about it is simple: don’t wait that long!
Once she started, there was no looking back.
In six years, Tasha has conducted around 550 weddings, as well as leading funeral and farewell ceremonies. Her experience spans some of life’s biggest moments — from the excitement of a wedding day to the privilege of helping families farewell someone they love.
And her work has been recognised too:
🏆 2025 National Celebrant of the Year
🏆 2025 National MC of the Year
🏆 2026 North Island Celebrant of the Year
🏆 2026 National MC of the Year
For Tasha, the heart of great celebrancy is connection — and that’s exactly what she brings to her training.
Tasha teaches all of our in-person courses in Auckland for the Celebrant Training College, sharing her extensive real-world experience, practical knowledge and plenty of stories along the way. Our students consistently give fantastic feedback about learning with Tash — particularly appreciating her warmth, encouragement, knowledge and ability to make people feel comfortable and confident.
Whether you’re thinking about becoming a celebrant, already conducting weddings and want to learn funerals, or you’re a funeral celebrant ready to step into weddings, Tasha can help you make that transition with practical knowledge, encouragement and the confidence to find your own style.
Because sometimes the next step in your celebrancy journey is simply learning how to do something you haven’t done before.
