REGISTRY CEREMONY
2ND OCTOBER 2020 - PARKLANDS, CHRISTCHURCH
The traditional ‘big wedding day’ isn’t for everyone and Registry Ceremonies are perfect for couples wanting a short, sweet and legal ceremony with their nearest and dearest :) Ben and Marchelle held their ceremony at home with just their parents and fur babies to witness their special union. They started their day with a walk together and spent the weekend relaxing as husband and wife!
“No ceremony can create a marriage; only the couple can do that—through love and patience; through dedication and perseverance; through talking and listening, helping and supporting and believing in each other. What this ceremony can do is to witness and affirm the choice they make to stand together as life mates and partners.”
What’s super cool is that Ben is a videographer! His company is called Moustache Media - check out his awesome portfolio here. He captured his own wedding day AND we ended up working together today (10th October!) at another wedding. Stoked!

“Victoria was our celebrant for our registry ceremony and she made it so stress free and easy going - was just like an extra friend! She was everything you could ask for; caring, punctual, informative, organised, and with an engaging ‘stage’ presence. 100% would recommend!”
