Small weddings are cool!
“Love Notes” ceremonies are small and simple but still personal. They make up a lot of my work as a marriage celebrant and are ideal for couples who want to say “I do” in an intimate setting. If you are eloping, don’t like being the centre of attention, are on a budget, or visiting from overseas, this is the ceremony you need!
Couples trust my experience – and kind words previous newlyweds have shared about me – and are happy to book my celebrant services for “Love Notes” without meeting me in person. Instead, we’ll have a relaxed Zoom or phone chat. These ceremonies are brief – about 15 minutes – but still warm, relaxed, and meaningful. They suit a guest list of between 2 – 40 people.
I conduct “Love Notes” in central Auckland only. If this sounds like you, get in touch!
“Well what can we say? Mel was amazing from beginning to end – so professional and helpful through the whole process. She made the day extra special and was basically all round amazing! Highly recommend!”

“We have been on a 3 year journey with you Mel. I couldn’t believe 2 weeks out from our wedding, Covid hit and put a stop to it all.
Throughout that time you were caring, connected and supportive, staying positive with a certainty that it would happen once the craziness had ended. Happened it did, and what a wonderful wedding ceremony you created. You managed to capture ‘us’, bringing humour, emotion, love and our history into our wedding ceremony. It was both engaging for us and for our guests.
We can’t thank you enough for being with us on this journey – you will forever be part of our history! Thank you. xx”

“Mel, thank you so much for being a part of our intimate wedding day. Your energy was calm, joyful and positive and we were so lucky to have you celebrate with us.
Thank you for… the beautiful words, we will cherish these forever! Thank you x 1000 and more.”
