Elizabeth Carson

As a registered celebrant and member of Celebrants Aotearoa New Zealand, I have the privilege of helping people mark some of life’s most important moments — from weddings and civil unions to funerals and memorial services.

Every ceremony tells a story. Whether I am standing beside a couple as they begin their married life together, conducting a simple registry-style ceremony, or supporting a family as they farewell someone they love, my role is to create an experience that feels authentic, meaningful, and deeply personal.

With more than 30 years’ experience in leadership, public speaking, and event management, I bring a calm, professional, and organised approach to every occasion. I understand that significant life events can be both joyful and emotional, and I work hard to ensure the people I support feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the process.

For couples, I offer everything from straightforward registry weddings through to fully personalised ceremonies that reflect your unique relationship, values, and vision for your day. Together, we create a ceremony that feels genuinely yours.

For families, I provide compassionate funeral and memorial services that honour the life, personality, and legacy of the person being remembered. I take the time to listen, understand what matters most, and craft a farewell that reflects the individual at the heart of the service.

Known for my warmth, empathy, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, I consider it a privilege to help create ceremonies that are memorable, meaningful, and delivered with calm, confidence, and heart.

I am a registered marriage and civil union celebrant and am VCANZ accredited to conduct registry wedding ceremonies.
