MAKING YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME
Finding the right words for your special occasion, describing a memory or a moment and capturing the hearts and minds of your friends is what makes a celebration unforgettable.
Whether you have a wedding celebration, a naming ceremony, a renewal of your vows, or you’re saying a final good-bye, being able to make your day your own will need a little help, empathy and support from an experienced celebrant – Aurora Ward.
As a well versed celebrant, I will be at your side to guide your celebration in your own style and in your own language.

STILL CELEBRATING
Sonia and Tony
Aurora conducted our ceremony tailored to us and gave us great suggestions and guidance throughout the whole process. She prepared us as much as she could without being too rehearsed so that we would have a magical day (and we did!).
Aurora you have such a kind soul and such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making our special day extra special! Xx

Aurora offered great advice but really listened to what we wanted to include in our ceremony and what was important to us, she was quick to respond to any questions we had and was great in helping us to incorporate some Maori traditions into our ceremony also. She was well presented on the day, professional and really made an effort to make the ceremony special for us. We were planning our wedding in Auckland from Palmerston North but contacting Aurora wasn’t a problem as she would Skype and e-mail us regularly to ensure everything was planned without any stress or worry. We were really glad we had her there as part of our day.

“Thank you Aurora for being our marriage celebrant and support us through the occasion. It was a casual event and that is how we wanted it. The great thing is that Aurora got to know us first, our personalities, what we were like as a family and she tailored our needs , vows to this. What I love about her was her deep spiritual connection to us and the event. It was so special.”

We were married at the Parnell rose gardens in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Aurora was our celebrant and was very lovely to deal with and had a calming manner about her.
She was flexible on where she could meet us to discuss the ceremony and forthcoming with advice for our vows and procedures on the day.
We really loved our wedding day and were pleased we could have Aurora part of it.

Aurora understood our more alternative style and was great at explaining the ins and outs.
We couldn’t have been more thrilled with her as a celebrant. She listened to our ideas and helped us come up with a ceremony that was perfect for our personalities. She was very professional, encouraged my husband’s input and made us feel totally at ease with the whole process.
We would highly recommend Aurora who takes the time to get to know you and understand your needs.
Thanks Aurora for making the process and the day that much easier.

We discovered Aurora just googling the Internet and it was an absolute hit! We were tremendously lucky to meet Aurora. Together with her we implemented all our hopes and dreams about wedding day. She is the talent of organization: we didn’t need to worry about anything as far as it was possible – all our business was to say what we want. With Aurora our wedding in a foreign country happened to be much easier than we thought.
Thanks to Lionel Tan Photography for letting us use his photos.
