Wedding Celebrant
Congratulations on your engagement!
Preparing for a wedding is an exciting and daunting time. There is so much to do and so much to organise. Not the least of all is choosing a celebrant that will help you with the most fundamental part of the day - the ceremony.
I have a passion for working with couples to craft a ceremony which best reflect their personality, from traditional to quirky, serious to humourous, and often all in the same ceremony.
I am based in the Wellington and Hutt Valley region, willing to travel to Kapiti, Southern Wairarapa and beyond.
Feel free to contact me for an initial meeting to see how I can help make you wedding day special.
About Me
I originally became a celebrant at the request of my niece who wanted me to officiate at her wedding, as an indulgent uncle and hopeless romantic I couldn't refuse her. I really enjoyed the experience of working with her and her fiancé to make their day as special as I possibly could. I’m now hooked, and I get real joy out of working with couples and the special people in their lives to make their days just as unique and unforgettable for them.
I speak at international conferences and I prepare speeches, presentations and lead tailored training as a part of my 'day job'. I have also honed my skills through involvement in the theatre and performance art.
I have a genuine and relaxed friendly style of speaking, with a clear voice and good projection - no one ever complains they can't hear me. I love that what I do contributes so much to making these special days memorable for couples.

“The service was just what we wanted and I’m more than happy”
“You officiated our ceremony with such grace and such ease. The message you gave was filled with such sincerity and emotion.
Without any exaggeration, every single one of our family and friends have sent us messages saying how impactful, personal and thought-provoking your message was.”

You made it so easy and removed all our worries.
All our family and friends present remarked on how relaxed and awesome the ceremony was.

“We were absolutely delighted to have Jordan officiate at our wedding. As we were coming from the UK we were unable to meet face to face until the week of the wedding, however, using Skype and email, Jordan was able to prepare a beautiful script, which perfectly matched our vision for the ceremony. On the day, Jordan was a lovely, calming, presence and guided us through the ceremony perfectly, leaving us with many happy memories of our wedding day.”
“Just wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for us on our Wedding Day. You made us feel so comfortable and made the ceremony feel personal and special with the things that were meaningful for us in our relationship. Your kindness and cheerful manner made for a wonderful ceremony with lots of smiles and laughs (and that wasn’t just the whisky from the Quaich) and we were really happy with how it all came together.”
“Thank you Jordan for being such an integral part of our day. Our ceremony was beautiful and perfectly reflected us as a couple. We felt so at ease with you, from our initial meet and greet all the way through this process, many of our guests thought you may have been our Uncle as Chris and I were so comfortable with you. Thank you for your guidance, support and charisma which contributed in making this a day one we will always remember. Jordan is a wonderful celebrant we will be recommending him to anyone who will listen! Thank you again Jordan we love that we had you there to celebrate with us.”

He gave us so much confidence that we would have a fun easy going ceremony and we will recommend him to everyone who is getting married 😀”
“Jordan fulfilled his role as Celebrant with great sincerity. He built an amazing rapport with both us and the guests, and made the effort to learn the correct pronunciation of a difficult name. Jordan was a great listener and really gave us the kind of ceremony we wanted; he is an excellent Celebrant and we can’t recommend him highly enough. ”
“Jordan did a fantastic job at our wedding. He wrote the most beautiful service and was professional and calming on the day. Everyone has been telling me what a lovely and fun ceremony we had.”
“My daughter and son in law wanted a very relaxed intimate wedding that reflected their relationship and the type of people that they are. Jordan provided exactly the ceremony that they wanted. A wedding is an major life event that shouldn’t be treated as a joke, and Jordan was able to provide just enough humor into the service so that everyone could enjoy the event without losing the sense of the occasion. He is very comfortable with public speaking and has a good clear presentation style.
