Celebrations by Amanda ~ 'Making memories together'
Hello and welcome to my page about my services as a celebrant. If you are reading this, the chances are that you have an important occasion coming up - perhaps a wedding or a naming ceremony. It would be a great privilege to help you make your day special and memorable. So let me introduce myself...
I am an experienced yoga teacher and have offered classes and hosted wellness retreats for many years. Through this work I am called upon to hold space for people from all walks of life. I always find it so rewarding to meet people right where they are and share my skills. I have been told that I connect with people in an authentic way and that I am a good listener – I feel that these skills are important for my work. When I found myself in lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, I began to think about the possibility of becoming a celebrant. It seemed a natural progression...

I decided to study with The Celebrant School a virtual learning platform based in New Zealand. I completed the ceremonies and celebrations course, along with the marriage mastery. Currently I am continuing my studies in professional development and funeral services. I am a member of the CANZ celebrant Association of New Zealand.

I organised and planned my own wedding at the age of 50. It was a lovely celebration to bring the family together, to celebrate life and love. It was a simple, civil ceremony, but I asked if the celebrant (who was a minister) could dress in his robes. He said of course! A celebrant is open to any suggestions that the couple want for their special day (within reason!!) |
The first step is a consultation...
... so that we can discuss all the elements that go towards making your occasion special.
I can offer plenty of ideas for scripts, readings, formats and settings.
Get in touch for an informal, no oligation chat.
