The Celebrant

Your Personal Celebrant for Life’s Special Chapters.

Wedding Celebrant

I am dedicated to conducting beautiful weddings. Your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life, and I would love to help you create a ceremony that is both memorable and special. I consider it a great honour to be part of such a significant milestone.

Every ceremony I write begins with a blank page. It is entirely personal to you, and I take great pleasure in crafting something unique. Your wedding day is about you and the special people you choose to share it with. I work hard to ensure you feel relaxed and enjoy every moment of this part of your day. I am available for unlimited consultation in the lead-up to your big day and will make every effort to ensure you get exactly what you want.

Every wedding is different, and the price will depend on the location of your ceremony. One size does not fit all, and I will tailor my services to meet your specific needs. However, I believe in being open and transparent about my fees. The prices listed below provide a general guide.

My price guide for Hamilton and the greater Waikato is $550, with weddings in other parts of the country priced by arrangement.

I am available for registry-style weddings for a reduced rate.

I will give you a full quote, depending on travel (I am based in Hamilton). It will include:

A meeting to discuss and plan the ceremony
Examples of vows and ring exchange words
Writing the ceremony
Conducting the ceremony
A meeting a few days before your wedding day if necessary
Travel

A $100 non-refundable deposit is requested to secure the booking, and the balance is usually paid prior to the wedding. My fee reflects the time I spend ensuring your ceremony is personal to you. Please feel free to phone or e-mail me.

Wedding

What my clients say

Kay was/is amazing! We had a very relaxed wedding, (not traditional) and Kay’s service complimented our personalities perfectly. She arrived early, (our wedding was an hour north of Auckland) and was DEFINITELY a calming presence in amongst the craziness .Once we were ready to go, Kay went out to the guests and briefed them on the proceedings about to take place. The service was short and straight to the point with a little bit of humour, which I particularly loved as I was soo nervous. She is definitely an amazing Celebrant, she really took our needs and personalities into account. She is well versed in all aspects of ceremonial procedures, namely wedding vows, certificate signing, etc. Wedding ceremonies begin with the Celebrant, and Kay’s calm and assured nature, enabled our day to get off to the PERFECT start!

When Ian and I decided to get married at my 50th birthday in December 2009 (after being together for 15 years) who else would we have! We only decided eight days beforehand and I rang Kay in a bit of a panic but she was so calm and we had it all arranged in two days! (there were only three people who knew we were getting married Ian, Kay and myself). What can I say about Kay that will put you at ease I guess for me from the first day I met her she felt like a friend I thought this is someone I want to know forever even though it felt like we had. She talks so easily and I have never ever heard her say “um?” or waffle (I really dislike waffle!) the formal parts of any ceremony have been carried out professionally but with heart and soul I don’t know how better to describe it. Obviously we have been to many weddings and I can honestly say with hand on heart that Kay is the best I have ever seen I think the proof of that is in the fact that other friends have also had Kay has their celebrant. Trust me you will not be disappointed she is a wonderful, caring, fun, fun lady !

Ian and Nita Frazer

We can not thank you enough for making our day so special. Everyone had a great time and the afternoon went well. E-mails coming in are asking to do it again next week. Look forward to seeing you again if the situation arises that we need a super person to do anything for our family. You will always be a part of our special memories

Funeral Celebrant

I am available for funeral services in Hamilton and the greater Waikato. Funerals are a vital part of life, and I am dedicated to helping families create meaningful and memorable farewells for their loved ones.

I can design a service that honours your family member and provides you with a way to pay tribute to them in the most fitting way. Every funeral service is unique and can be as simple or as detailed as you wish.

I will work alongside the Funeral Director of your choice and can provide readings, poems, prayers, and other elements to personalise the service. Afterwards, you will receive a full copy of the service.

You can be assured of a caring, warm, and professional approach, and I will do my very best to make this difficult time as smooth as possible for you and your family.

I am also available to discuss funeral arrangements at any time, so that your loved ones know exactly what your wishes are when the time comes.

Funeral fees depend on location, but as a general guide, most funerals in Waikato range from $450 to $500. Services in other areas can be quoted based on distance.

I have conducted many funerals over the years, and you will find several references below. I am also happy to connect you with families and Funeral Directors I have worked with.

Our Funeral

Funeral

What my clients say

We met Kay five years ago when she was recommended as a Funeral Celebrant. My gorgeous 93- year old Nana had died, we were planning her funeral and we wanted a Lady for a classy dame! We weren’t disappointed – Kay was amazing. Sometimes when you go to funerals and whether it’s a Celebrant, Priest or Minister, if they didn’t know the person you can usually tell coz they waffle on and we didn’t want that for Nana. We only met her once before the funeral but by the end of the day she had become a lifelong friend – not only to us but to many of our friends. Since then she has been the celebrant at friends weddings and also at my dad’s funeral in May 2009. At my Nan’s funeral, Dad said “she’s the one for me and don’t forget it”!

Nita

Thank you so much on behalf of all of us for your guidance, advice and involvement in preparing for our mother’s recent funeral. We were very happy to meet you despite the sad circumstances, and there was much joy and warmth as we told the many stories about mother to you. We were all touched as to how receptive you were to our reflections and memories. Your speech, with its clarity, simplicity and warmth dwelt on our loving memories of one who was greatly loved by us all, and who will be sadly missed. Thank you so much for helping us to pay tribute to a beloved mother in a way that we all felt so comfortable with.

Gary, Heather and Jenny

I missed saying “Thank you” for your contribution to my brother’s send-off the other day.
You were wonderful. Your bringing together of all the aspects of his death was inspirational. Your inclusion of the final quote gave further depth to our learning from his sad departure.
Once again, many thanks for a wonderful contribution.

Dan

Kay – Your service for our Aunt was truly lovely. We couldn’t have dreamt of anything more fitting for a unique and special lady.
