EMILY FLEMMING
CELEBRANT
Hello nearly-weds, I’m Emily! I came to beautiful New Zealand in 2008 from Canada looking to make friends and memories to add to my travel scrapbook. I only intended to stay in Aotearoa for a few months but I fell in love with Queenstown and knew I wanted to make this place my home.
After many years I’m still a hopeless romantic, obsessed with everything that Queenstown has to offer, and determined never to take it for granted. I enjoy soaking up the scenery, climbing any mountain possible, eating at the most fabulous restaurants and drinking the delicious local wine.
With sixteen plus years experience in the hospitality industry I’ve met, worked with, served and partied with people from all over the world. I get such a kick out of delivering an excellent experience for people, especially visitors to our awesome little town, it’s a real win-win for me.
I decided to become a wedding celebrant to combine my love of entertaining with my love of all things wedding! From an initial meet and greet and ceremony planning to the pre-ceremony butterflies (yes I get those healthy excited nerves too) and the post-ceremony selfies, I adore it all. Most importantly, I love sharing your unique love story in your own bespoke ceremony with a few laughs along the way.
Well, that’s it from me for now. I can’t wait to learn more about you and meet you here in Queenstown to get you hitched!
Favourite wedding location: “the more remote the better… I’m happy to hike”
