Testimonials
"A big thank you to Iris Richter our wedding celebrant who was amazing and so accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was truly awesome and memorable."
- Rachel & Mark
"We were looking for a celebrant to participate in our recent wedding. We only contacted two... And only met with one - Iris. Iris looked cool calm and collected on her website and that was what we were after, and she delivered - both in the lead up and on the day! The planning sessions were relaxed and unrushed. Iris did a great job of listening to what we were after and ensuring we covered all that was important to us. Iris let us explore and set out our ideas (right up til the last day) and had plenty of ideas and hints to help us feel like we were creating something special and 'just for us'. Our day was perfect... Thanks Iris!!!"
- Fiona & Brett
"Our dream was to elope to NZ for our wedding ceremony, so we had to organize everything via internet from Germany. Iris was the first celebrant we contacted and after our Skype-talk we knew that it wouldn't be necessary to contact anyone else. She made everything so uncomplicated and easy for us, especially with the challenge of organizing everything from overseas. We explained to her what we had in mind and she made great suggestions for locations and the ceremony itself. Because of her we ended up getting married at stunning Karekare Beach, a truly magical place. The ceremony was very personal and intimate because she put a lot of effort into getting to know our whishes before. So our dream of getting married (barefoot!) at a NZ beach and being able to say our own vows (in German :-)) came true!. Iris even brought some champagne glasses for after the ceremony :-)
It really was our perfect day! Thanks, Iris, for making it possible!"
