Q&A | Debbie The Celebrant

Are you qualified?

I have passed Marriage Celebrant Essentials, Ceremony and Celebration and Marriage Celebrant Mastery qualifications from the Celebrant School of New Zealand. I am also a member of CANZ Celebrants Aotearoa - Celebrants Association of New Zealand.  All members of these organisations abide by a strict protocol and code of ethics. 
Is the initial meeting free?

Yes! The first meeting is just to get to know each other and there are absolutely no obligations. We can meet whereever you are most comfortable and take it from there.
Where are you based?

I am based in Wānaka but am happy to travel most places in Central Otago and Southland.
What if I want to celebrate something unique?

The world is your oyster! Weddings, vow renewals, celebrations of life, living funerals, birthdays, anniversaries - you name it, we can celebrate it.
Are you inclusive of all cultures and sexual orientations?

Absolutely! This is all about you and I will work with you to ensure everyone is comfortable and enjoys their day. I am involved in the Rainbow community and can incorporate and tailor different cultures into the ceremony.
Are there travel costs involved?

I may charge an additional fee if I am required to travel to you. This fee will be to cover petrol and accommodation if required. We can discuss this in the initial consultation.
