Jeanette Daysh Celebrant

Absolutely! Last-minute weddings are one of my specialties. If I'm available and you have your marriage licence, I can often help with very little notice. Get in touch and I'll do my best to make it happen.

As soon as you can get your licence! This can be as quick as 3 days ........

It depends on what ceremony you want. A simple, no frills 'registry style' ceremony is $200, a more personalised but still no frills ceremony is $300 and a full on wedding with a wedding party - groomsmen and bridesmaids is $400.
I always send you the ceremony prior to the day so you know exactly what will be said, and I'm happy to adapt the wording so you are 100% happy.

I am happy for ceremonies to take place in my garden ( all the photos above were taken there) and I have a covered deck that can be used in wet weather. I also live on the Waikareao Walkway and there is a small platform over the water that can be used.

Absolutely! Weekday weddings are becoming increasingly popular, especially for couples looking for a simple, relaxed, and affordable way to get married. They can also make it easier to find availability at short notice.

Whether you're planning a Monday morning elopement, a lunchtime ceremony, or a Friday afternoon celebration, I'm happy to help. If you have a date in mind, get in touch and I'll check my availability.

For sure! Your wedding should reflect the people (and pets!) you love most. If you'd like your children to be involved, they can help with the rings, read a poem, sign as witnesses (if they're old enough), or simply stand beside you during the ceremony.

Well-behaved pets are also very welcome to be part of your special day. Whether it's your dog walking down the aisle, posing for photos, or simply being there by your side, I'm happy to help make them part of the celebration.

Together, we'll create a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed, and uniquely yours.

Almost anywhere! Beaches, gardens, parks, my backyard or yours, a favourite lookout or your own home can all make wonderful ceremony locations. I'm happy to suggest beautiful spots around Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty.

Yes. I'm based in Brookfield, Tauranga, however I charge travel if it's further than 10kms from where I live.

Yes! Love is love, and I'm proud to celebrate all couples. I'll create a ceremony that reflects your relationship and your story in a warm, inclusive and respectful way.

Yes. New Zealand law requires two witnesses to be present during your ceremony. If you're eloping and don't have anyone with you, let me know and we can discuss options - I have friends who LOVE being involved.

Once you've booked, we'll chat about the type of ceremony you'd like and complete the necessary planning. I'll guide you through the legal requirements, answer any questions and make sure everything is organised for a smooth, stress-free wedding day.

Not every couple wants a big wedding. If you're looking for a relaxed, meaningful ceremony without all the fuss, you're in the right place. Whether it's a last-minute wedding, an intimate elopement or a small gathering with your closest family and friends, I'll help you celebrate your commitment in a way that feels right for you.

My fee includes planning your ceremony, guidance through the legal requirements, officiating your wedding, completing and lodging the legal paperwork after your ceremony, and plenty of support along the way.
