CHARLOTTE FRANCES

OWNER, CELEBRANT, MC & WEDDING BLOGGER

Kia ora, hello, and big congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Originally from Burnley in England, I moved to Queenstown, New Zealand in 2010 for a one year working holiday visa… And never left!

Whilst working for a catering company at many weddings I always thought that the celebrant had the easiest job. Whilst I was on my feet for 12 hours serving food and drinks, it seemed like the celebrant would show up, say a few words, sink a glass of bubbles and leave. 

I’ve always been a writer, love to play host, and am a confident public speaker. So I figured I’d give this celebrant thing a go! I quickly discovered it’s not as easy as it looks, but enjoyed the challenge then and now I absolutely love using my marrying super power with every couple I work with.

I like to bring creativity and a bit of fun to your big day, and it’s important for me to match your theme or colour scheme and look the part. As a mum and an animal lover, I also get excited about including children and making sure that your pets get a special mention on your big day! I get to know you and your story, and this inspires the ceremony that I write just for you.

Why I love being a celebrant:
