Tie the Knot with Ollie

Hi, I’m Ollie. As a Canterbury-based celebrant and professional third wheel (the good kind!), I’m here to help you Tie the Knot with a little love, a little laughter, and just the right amount of sparkle.

When I’m not helping couples say “I do,” you’ll probably find me running or biking up a hill somewhere before breakfast with my dog, Maggie (equal parts energiser and endorphin-chaser). I bring that same energy and enthusiasm to your big day!

Years of speech and drama taught me how to handle a crowd but more importantly, I love making people feel happy, feel at ease, included and celebrated. I’ll walk you through the each step - from vow-writing to the legal bits - and make sure you enjoy the lead-up just as much as the day itself. Whether your style is short and sweet, warm and heartfelt, or a little bit unexpected, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that feels completely you.

I’m here to make sure it’s relaxed, meaningful, and honestly - just a really good time. I’m not over-the-top lovey-dovey, but I do love a happy moment - and helping people feel cared for and comfortable (without the cringe).

Becoming a celebrant just made sense - it combines everything I love: people, connection, and creating something meaningful (with just a little sparkle on top).

I’m always up for a chat over a strong flat white - so if you’re dreaming up a ceremony, I’d love to shout you a coffee and hear all about it!
