I am deeply passionate about my role as a celebrant and I will commit myself to making your ceremony truly memorable! Ceremonies and celebrations are important parts of our lives and can be profound, memorable and wonderful ways to mark significant moments in time and I would love to assist you with your celebrant requirements.
My name is Sonja and I am a vibrant, energetic person with a youthful outlook and rich life experience. I have been appointed as an Independent Marriage Celebrant by the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs. I will make your ceremony truly memorable whether it be formal, informal, traditional, themed or slightly quirky and at the venue of your choice. I have an extensive background in Human Resource Management which enables me to conduct your ceremony with the highest level of integrity and professional standard. My style of public speaking and presentation is elated, with a warm delivery, a clear, audible voice and I will present your ceremony in a very personal manner, engaging easily with both you and your guests. Coming into celebrancy from a background in HR, where my main focus was to guide people in often complex situations, has made me also proficient in being sensitive to everyone's individual needs, as well as being open to all people, whatever their situation, life experiences, cultural and/or religious beliefs. I am also able to conduct any ceremony in German. My commitment to you as your celebrant is to spend as much time as is necessary to create a ceremony that is personalised to your individual beliefs and values. I have a selection of ceremony templates, marriage vows, poems, readings etc., that we can use as a starting point to create something special and unique. When available I am also happy to do ceremonies/ weddings at a moment's notice, or you can book me for up to a year and a half in advance. I offer a free no-obligation meeting, where we can discuss how I will work with you to achieve a wedding ceremony that is perfect for you. I am an Auckland based celebrant but more than happy to travel to other locations outside of the Auckland area. I look forward to hearing from you and it will be my pleasure to assist you in creating a wonderful and impressionable ceremony.

Such a lovely Testimonial !
Dear Sonja,
Firstly, We would like to thank you for accepting to share our special day with us.
Sonja not only took the time to get to know us before our special day but gave us ideas for the ceremony and was also very open to our ideas and incorporating them into something unique for us. It was a very special day and seeing Sonja's emotions on the day and how involved she was, we know we couldn’t have picked a more personable and wonderful person to guide us through our unforgettable day.
Thank you once again
Anita & Mohsin
