01

Youthful

As one of the youngest NZ celebrants, celebrate your ceremony with someone who understands your music, TV favourites and celeb crushes!

02

Creative

As a published poet at 11 years old and dreaming of being an author, creative writing is a passion which can be put into your ceremony.

03

Experienced with children

From an education background the gems children come out with do not cause a panic, working them into the ceremony would be easily done.

04

Enjoys humour

Sharing a joke with the guests to fill time, reading the crowd and providing light humour or helping clients remain calm, would come naturally.

05

Able to put large groups at ease

Studying drama at all levels of education provides confidence to address large crowds and manage even the testing guests at a ceremony or service.

06

Able to travel

Going on an adventure is what life is all about and tying that into a passion would provide scope for travelling the country to create magical ceremonies.

Rachelle did a fabulous job as the MC for our wedding. She was humorous, organised and kept everyone on track, even the rowdy tables at the back! I would highly recommend Rachelle, and only wish she was a celebrant at the time of our wedding.

We were so thankful to have Rachelle as our amazing celebrant for our special day. She was so helpful and patient with us, right from the get go. We had an idea in mind and with Rachelle's guidance, we were able to make that idea become a reality. Our ceremony was short and simple, exactly how we wanted it. We can't thank you enough for being our Celebrant. You went above and beyond for us. And we certainly would recommend you to anyone we know is getting married.
