Jacqueline Nairn - Celebrant & MC

Hi, I’m Jaq. Warmest congratulations!

How absolutely wonderful that you’ve found your forever person! Lucky you!
Love is such a precious thing and the connection between two people, whoever they may be, deserves to be cherished. Your wedding should be as unique as you are.​

Now you get to embark on the exciting adventure of planning the wedding day you’ve dreamed of.

I’m a marriage celebrant and in my day job, I'm mostly behind the camera these days directing shows like The Brokenwood Mysteries and My Life is Murder. I spent fourteen years on Shortland Street, six as an actor and eight as a director, so it’s fair to say that being in front of an audience and telling stories is my happy place ... and being a wedding celebrant brings together so many things I love to do.

I adore the creative process of crafting people’s ‘journeys to love’ into beautifully unique wedding ceremonies that reflect you and your partner perfectly, capturing your individuality and celebrating your love in a way that you will treasure forever.

It’s a privilege to nurture and guide my couples through the entire process from our first contact until you are walking down the aisle as a married couple, after the ceremony you’ve always wanted.

I’m a registered Independent Marriage and Civil Union Celebrant in New Zealand. I’m based in Auckland but love a destination wedding so I’m happy to travel anywhere in Aotearoa … wherever you want your special day to be. Let's chat!
