About Nigel

Being part of a wedding is something that I enjoy more than anything. I retired from a career in policing so I could continue to involve myself in positive and rewarding ventures.  The number of weddings I’ve performed and the measure of success are only determined by you and the couples I can put you in contact with. However my satisfaction and enjoyment lasts a lifetime.

I also provide ceremonies for civil unions and any same gender or non-binary weddings.  When it comes to celebrating any commitment "beginning, middle or end of life" I feel it's a real honour to part of the process.

My focus is not on price but the service that I can provide to you and if you’re happy then I have provided you both with more than money can buy. I enjoy any setting and my most memorable wedding has been on a beach in Golden Bay where we erected a stage from driftwood and the setting was unbelievable.

I am very relaxed to work with because I can be. I don’t charge on the number of meetings or consultations and will spend as much time as necessary to ensure that the couple I work with are both happy with the service and comfortable with me delivering it for them.

You will see from my pictures that I enjoy the outdoors so if you want to get married at the end of a sporting event or in the Botanical Gardens, or  in your own home then that will suit me fine. Traditional indoor ceremonies are also enjoyable and I have performed ceremonies in golf clubs, rugby clubs or my most recent venue was the beautiful Otanerito Bay on Banks Peninsula.

TESTIMONIALS

Marchelle & Steve

"Nigel you had a huge part to play in ensuring our wedding played out as we had hoped for.  We had some unexpected challenges on the day.  We had to change our ceremony site due to really unexpected wet weather.  Our two fur babies were really cute ring bearers until one of them whined and coughed during most of the ceremony. 

In true Kiwi style, you went with the flow and were able to keep everything moving along and relaxed.  We were able to laugh about things along the way.   We really felt the ceremony absolutely reflected our style and our friends and family thought so too. 

We appreciated the time you took with us to really get to know our story.  We are so grateful that we were married by someone who cared so much about creating such a personal and special experience. "

CONTACT DETAILS

I live in Christchurch but if you like the sound of talking to me then I’m more than happy to travel because that’s also part of the experience for me too and it won’t be included in your fee.

Please call me as I’d enjoy the chat as a starting point and you can ask me any questions about the process without any obligation to continue.
