Married by Ria

I’m Ria - lover of love, passionate about people and their stories, and here to help you craft a joyful, authentic and meaningful ceremony.

Mum to 3 year old Ted, fur-baby Maeby and wife to Chris, I live on beautiful Waiheke Island in Auckland.

I adore being a celebrant and feel so privileged to have been travelling New Zealand-wide doing this work for over 12 years.

Planning and performing your ceremony is a collaboration - together we will make your ceremony fun, memorable, and perfectly ‘you’.

Also an experienced film and television actress - I recently finished a very long stint playing Dr. Harper Whitley on Shortland Street - I am able to confidently create and hold a ceremonial space, and deliver your perfect ceremony. I’d love to chat!
