Experienced celebrant based in Christchurch, NZ
ARE WE THE PERFECT MATCH?
Are you looking for a fun, relaxed, warm wedding Celebrant? Hi, I'm Jodi! I have a natural talent for storytelling and my job is to make planning your ceremony stress-free. I'll turn up early on the day, bring my PA, stand and microphone and ensure everything runs on time...and we’ll have a bit of fun on the way!
Its been said that I have a knack for calming nerves, so if getting up in front of a group of people isn’t your thing, please don’t stress! There are plenty of ways we can do the ceremony without you feeling too nervous and my aim is to make sure you're both enjoying yourselves. My role as your celebrant is to make sure we get all those lovely special memories and moments you've shared, weaved into a ceremony (with some cheeky laughs) and then bring it all together on the day to make a memory you will not forget.
I’ve got 35 ceremonies already under my belt and each one couldn’t be more different than the last. The smallest ceremony I’ve held was in a backyard, with 12 people and we had their dogs at our feet, and the biggest I’ve done so far is 200 people - each ceremony personalised to the couple and the vibe that they are looking for. Its your wedding day and I’m there to facilitate the most important bit - the ceremony itself!
Now truth be told, I'm known as having the gift of the gab. I write and perform and I am somewhat of an entertainer - basically just a creative at heart. Music and performing have always been my passion and I love meeting people. Even better, I get to put all of those strengths into play, and help you create and celebrate a beautiful and memorable event.

Daniel & Emily
"It was amazing being Jodi’s first couple to marry, we love how she made the whole experience feel very personalised. As a celebrant she is very warm yet professional and we would recommend her to anyone we know planning to tie the knot. Jodi made sure we got to sit down and talk through what was important to us for our ceremony and thoughtfully guided us through this process. She gave us a chance to review her plan so we could be confident we’d love it on the day, and we absolutely did."
