All Wedding Celebrant & MC Reviews

“We don’t think words will ever describe how having Nate be our celebrant and MC was the best decision for our wedding we could have made. Weddings seem to be so stressful, but knowing our ceremony and reception were taken care of so well let us be so calm and in the moment. Nate’ s communication was so reassuring, making us confident that he held our dreams and wishes high in the priority list. Our guests have given him so much praise for how incredibly loving, funny and incredible our day was with Nate running the show. Nate is someone that truely makes everyone feel like a friend, is professional while showing the best of his personality, and the one wedding vendor we have no doubt will be forever recommending to anyone who mentions they’re thinking of getting married. ”

“We chose Nate to be both the celebrant and MC for our wedding as he was recommended by a friend, and it was one of the best decisions we made! He made the whole day so special, our guests couldn’t speak more highly of him and how much fun they had. From start to finish, everyth ing was so thoughtfully planned and well prepared, which meant we were able to relax and enjoy every moment without any stress. We also loved creating our personalised ceremony together, it was a lovely way to connect in the lead up to our wedding day. Would absolutely recommend Nate to anyone looking for a celebrant. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable. It meant the world to us to have our family and friends travel all the way from the UK and have such an amazing experience. You kept the vibes going and the drinks flowing! ”

“Nate was such an integral part of our wedding day! Not only he filled us with so much confidence, he helped us so much leading up to the day. He was warm, friendly, and felt more like a friend. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and we had so many rave rev iews after our wedding about how great he was. Nate, thank you from both myself and Jack! We would highly recommend Nate for anyone looking for a celebrant for their special day. ”

“‘Every Bride and Groom’s best mate, Nate the great’ - anyone looking for an easy-going, funny, and professional celebrant for their nuptials, look no further than Nate. He was such a big help with over and above advice leading up to the wedding, sending us little reminders on thi ngs to be done, and putting our minds at ease during the big-day. Nate’s great sense of time-management, paired with incredible organisational skills, means any of his future clients will be in the best spot possible to ensure everything is in place, so they can soak in everything else. If we could give six stars, we would! ”

“Perfection is just one of the many words I would use to describe the service provided by Nate. He far exceeded any expectations we had for what a celebrant could do. He made us feel appreciated, heard and didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile to make our day as special and stress free as possible. Thankyou Nate for everything and for being the most kindest down to earth guy out there! If I could give you more than 5 stars I would! ”

“We met Nate a couple years ago at my in laws wedding. We instantly in awe of his professionalism and humour. He spent time chatting with all of the guests and literally felt like a friend rather than a vendor. Because of this Nate was our non negotiable for our wedding and we ch ecked he was available before booking any other vendors. From the get go he was super helpful. Every meeting was so thorough but simultaneously made us laugh and feel at ease. He made planning a wedding which is relatively stressful feel super easy. He took everything we threw at him and adapted the ceremony last minute when we had last second ideas! Every single guest raved about how fantastic and fun he was. They mentioned that usually weddings are so serious but they had so much fun and so many laughs. Everything about our day was magical and ran so smoothly thanks to Nate’s organisation, calm demeanour and just over all great vibes. 1000/10 recommend. Thank you Nate ❤️ ”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding ceremony! From the very beginning, Nate was incredibly organised and made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. I emailed him late in the evening and received a quick response - as a bride to be this was real ly appreciated and I felt like I was finally able to stop stressing as I knew Nate had everything handled. I had already drafted up my ceremony speech by doing my research with other wedding vlogs, then Nate was happy to read over it and make any edits he felt necessary. Throughout the weeks leading up to our wedding, the communication stayed prompt with to do lists & to bring notes with all the information we needed. He has officiated other weddings at Mantells previously, so knowing he was familiar with our venue + staff was an advantage too! On the day itself, he brought such a calm and warm energy that really helped settle our nerves and allowed us to fully enjoy the moment. Highly recommend Nate to any couple looking for someone professional, friendly and supportive, thank you so much Nate :) ”

“We had the pleasure of Nate being our Celebrant and MC on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to do this job. He definitely was our kind of person that doesn’t that life to seriously! Nate you did an amazing job and honestly our day rang so smoothly beca use of you. All your work leading up to the big day and during the big day was just incredible and everyone spoke highly of you. Thank you so much from Ben and I. We will for sure be recommending you to anyone who is getting married moving forward. We look forward to catching up with you soon. ”

“Nate was an absolute delight and gem to work with! He was our rock and solid grounding during all of our wedding planning. We had him as both the celebrant and MC which worked perfectly as it made the day run so smoothly and seamlessly. He helped to calm my nerves and checked in on both of us throughout the day making sure everything was okay! If I could give Nate higher than 5 stars I would in a heart beat. Thanks for making our day everything and more! Ps. He’s also really funny ”

“Nate was our Celebrant and MC at our wedding in February. From the moment we met him, we knew he had to be our Celebrant - he was incredibly organised, funny and had so much practical knowledge. During our wedding, he made the ceremony really special; we even had a few guests who thought he was one of our friends which just goes to show the effort he puts into the day. He kept the entire wedding running smoothly and constantly looked out for us during the reception. We would highly recommend Nate to be your Celebrant and MC. ”

“Nate was both the celebrant and MC for our wedding, and I honestly cannot imagine our day without him. From the ceremony right through to the reception, he kept everything running smoothly and on schedule while still making the whole experience feel relaxed and natural. On the m orning of the wedding we had a bit of unexpected makeup drama, which could have easily thrown the whole day off. But Nate stayed cool, calm, and collected through all the chaos. He helped keep things grounded, reassured everyone, and made sure the day kept flowing so that my husband and I could still enjoy every moment. He was also incredibly funny and engaging. Our guests absolutely loved him. He brought the perfect balance of humour, professionalism, and warmth. As an MC he kept everything moving perfectly and made sure the timeline stayed on track so that Lit and I could truly have the best day ever. What I appreciated most was how naturally he connected with our family and guests. He mingled with everyone so well and genuinely felt like part of the celebration rather than just someone doing a job. If you’re looking for a celebrant or MC who is organised, calm under pressure, hilarious, and truly cares about making your wedding day special, we highly recommend Nate Dunn. He played such a big part in making our day unforgettable. ”

“Nate is the guy. If you want your day to run a whole lot smoother, be highly entertaining while catering specifically to your ‘vibe’, and constant knowledge sharing / touch points in the lead up to your big day, look no further. Our guests absolutely raved about him, do yourself a favour and lock him in. ”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Nate Dunn for our wedding at Muriwai. From the very beginning, Nate was incredible to work with, he is warm, personable, and was genuinely invested in making our day special. What really sets Nate apart is how much time he spends getting to know you. We met with him several times in the lead up to the wedding, often over a relaxed drink, which made the whole process feel easy, and fun, and personal rather than formal or stressful. And Nate also helped with all those questions of things we needed to do, or at least follow up. Our ceremony at Muriwai was amazing and beautiful, and Nate played a huge role in creating that atmosphere. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our day and would absolutely recommend him, 100%. ”

“At the start of wedding planning we were unsure if we wanted go with Nate because of the cost.. I can happily say it was the best decision to have him as celebrant and MC, we would do it 50 times over! Nate’s attention to detail, thoughtfulness and organisation skills were top no tch. He also just brought such a fun vibe to the day, he’s such a genuine person and we really go along so well with him! I can’t keep count how many family and friends were raving about how he just made the wedding so cool. Thank you so much Nate, me and Josh really appreciated everything you’ve done for us ❤️ ”

“Nate was amazing! Picking him as our celebrant and MC was the perfect decision. He created a fun and personalised ceremony and reception with both laid back and heartfelt vibes. Nate is extremely organised and knows how to bring the fun! He stayed with us at our wedding venue acc omodation and we got to know each other well. Highly recommend 1000% ”

“Book Nate! You won’t regret it! From our first meeting he set the bar high, on what he’ll do for you as your celebrant and MC. The lead up to our wedding involved meetings & emails to guide us on our ceremony, vows & reception. Any questions asked were never a problem and he alwa ys gave an alternative if one of our ideas wouldn’t quite work out. All our guests absolutely loved Nate, they all thought he was our friend and that’s the vibe he gives. He’ll take care of you so don’t stress about anything, he’ll make it work. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to share our day with. Thanks Nate! You were the best! And fully deserve more than the 5 stars! ”

Nate was mine and Netanes celebrant and MC for our wedding on 14/2/2026. We had spoken probably over 1 year befo re our big day, he was so organised and helped us so much with the planning.

The feedback from our gues ts was overwhelmingly positive. So many commented on how engaging and natural Nate was, with several believing he was a close friend because of how effortlessly he captured our story and connection. We highly recommend Nate as your MC and Celebrant for the best day of your lives!! ”

“We had Nate Dunn as celebrant and MC for our Amazing wedding and he was just top notch! We are super busy people, and were really really late in getting all of our information through, Im talking sending vows literally before getting in the wedding car to the ceremony late haha. We were probably the worst couple he has had, but Nate being the pro he is, just went with it, un-prepared, and still killed it on the day! We were going for an upbeat fun vibe for our wedding, and he brought the party vibes 1000% All of our guests were all laughing their heads off. We have had nothing but amazing messages from our guests about how much they enjoyed the wedding and Nate. We loved that he took direction for us so we didn't have to worry on the day, Nate just took care of business! Nate is also such a vibe with our guests. We highly highly recommend him, so many boring celebrants out there, and Nate is definitely NOT boring. Much Love The Mareko's <3 ”

“Nate is the celebrant & MC you need on your wedding day!! me & my husband Luke can not get over how amazing, organised, professional and funny Nate is. He keeps you calm through out the entire wedding day & makes it all about you. We felt so stress free during our wedding day bec ause he handled everything with ease. Our guests still talk about how great Nate was and how he just made the day flow so smoothly, the whole day would have not been the perfect day that it was without him. Best MC & Celebrant ever!!! 10 stars! ”

“Google no further, Nate’s your guy! Nate was the celebrant at my best friends wedding. They couldn’t stop saying how amazing he was leading up to the wedding (to the point I thought I was being replaced 😂). When I got the chance to finally meet Nate I could see why my bestie see med so calm. Nate moved from celebrant into the MC role and made sure the wedding flowed exactly as the couple wanted it to go. He kept things on track, had tissues at the ready, and had thought of every possible thing to ensure any bumps were smoothed. He was funny and personable. And I’d highly recommend him for anyone wanting a celebrant that feels like a friend (not a stranger) being part of a very important day. ”

“Nate was nothing short of AMAZING! The ceremony was tailored to us and it was perfect. He went on to MC for us and was so entertaining! He made the whole day flow flawlessly. We had so many people say how awesome he was. We couldn't recommend Nate enough, the way he looked after us and coached us through everything, taking time to make sure we soaked everything up and ensured key moments were captured. If I have only one piece of advice for anyone getting married, it would be to book this man ASAP! If he isn't available on your date, pick another! ”

If you’re looking for a celebrant and MC who is organised, funny, thoughtful, and truly the best in the business, Nate is your guy. - Lauren & Sohrabh ”

“Nate is the best. Funny, caring, and professional (If you want) He conducted my wife and I's marriage ceremony, and he was a hoot. If you're in doubt, he has a video of him in action on his website. It's what sold us, and it'll sell you.”

“Choosing Nate was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we met him, he felt like an old friend — warm, genuine, super organised, and so incredibly easy to talk to. He took the time to truly understand our story, what mattered to us, and the energy we wanted for our day. Our ceremony was everything we dreamed of and more. Nate created the perfect balance of heartfelt, personal, and light-hearted. He spoke with so much care and sincerity that many of our guests thought he’d known us for years. He made us feel calm, present, and able to truly enjoy every moment. As our MC, Nate was outstanding. He kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, guided our guests effortlessly, and brought such a relaxed, welcoming vibe to the entire day. Nothing was ever a problem, he handled every moment with professionalism, humour, and genuine warmth. We did not have to worry about a single thing, he had it sorted.

Nate wasn’t just our celebrant and MC — he felt like a friend. He supported us through the whole planning journey, answered every question with patience, and nothing was ever a bother. Nate, thank you for playing such a huge role in our wedding. You were a massive part of what made the day feel so special, seamless, and unforgettable. We are forever grateful and so glad we chose you. ❤️ ”

“Highly recommended - did an amazing job for our wedding!”

“Nate was the perfect mix of energy and sincerity for our wedding. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Nate was the best! From our first interaction he was onto it - giving us so many ideas and tips for the making the event run smooth. On the day he coordinated everything so well, letting us enjoy the evening while he did the hard work. I would 100% recommend Nate!! He's to good🥰”

“I've been in a lot of wedding parties, and I have seen a lot of celebrants, but I feel like Nate stands above them all! Nate made my friends' wedding day so easy, stress-free, and above all, hilarious! Even when the wedding rings disappeared (not my fault, I swear!) Nate leapt in and held the room entranced with some well-placed jokes and bought time for us to solve the problem. He was equally great over dinner, and just a great hang all-around. Don't hesitate to bring him aboard for your big day. ”

“The service Nate provides is well and truly worth the 300 5 stars reviews he has received so far. In fact, Nate is he Unicorn you wish there was a 6th star to give. He is just the best person to work with in the lead up to the wedding as well as on the day. In every meeting we had with Nate, he made suggestions including vendors he has worked with previously who were top notch and gave advice for things we hadn't thought of, which made our big day extra special. We found Nate online, on a site which showed short videos of celebrants, and once my husband saw Nate's snippet, we knew we had our celebrant. He is funny, personable and professional all mixed into one. It made our wedding feel like we were getting married by our best mate, if our best mate was a professional celebrant. Nate takes the time to work with your other vendors to ensure the best experience on the day, as well as in the photos you keep for life. He will take the extra seconds to make sure ties are straight, and everyone is facing in the right direction, as well as doing quick checks during the ceremony with your photographer that everything is aligned and centred, making sure they too can deliver amazing service. He goes above and beyond throughout the whole process from the first meeting to the big day, from asking about your colour scheme so he can align with the groomsmen, to teaching you how to do a good aisle dip for a great pic on the day. Nate is everything the other reviews have said, and more. I truly recommend him to be your wedding celebrant; its a decision you won’t regret making. Thank you Nate; you are amazing! ”

“Nate was a brilliant celebrant and made the wedding process from start to the wedding day a breeze. He regularly checked in with us through the process and was always available to help. His organization was an absolute pleasure. On the wedding day he performed excellently captur ing the crowd and providing that spark of humour. We are still getting guests telling us how enjoyable he made the wedding. Couldn't recommend him enough! ”

“What a guy!”

“If a wedding was a body, Nate was the backbone. He held everything together effortlessly — calm, confident, and full of character. From the very start, he was incredibly organized and always quick to reply. He gave honest, helpful advice and genuinely cared about making our cere mony feel like us. On the day, he was absolutely brilliant. He brought humour, heart, and a sense of fun that had everyone laughing and completely relaxed. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved him! Nate wasn’t just our celebrant — he was the energy that made our day flow so perfectly. If you’re lucky enough to book him, you’ll see what we mean. He’s the kind of person who turns a special day into an unforgettable one. ”

“Nate...you have been a pleasure to work with not only did we have an amazing celebrant who made sure we were guided throughout our entire marriage process, you also become one of our forever friends. You listened to us and delivered more than what we expected. We cannot thank you enough for being part of our special day. Cat & Carlos ”

“Nate was an amazing celebrant and MC who became an amazing friend during our wedding process. His attention to detail and years of experience gave us a magical once in a lifetime wedding. If you are coming from the states like us or reside in New Zealand you would not go wrong wi th Nate. ”

“Nate was absolutely the most amazing celebrant for my best friend’s wedding yesterday. He was very organised, had such a warm and friendly vibe. I loved how he made everything flow so naturally plus he has a great sense of humour. That definitely helped ease the nerves throughout the day/night. Really appreciate him for all the hard work, laughs, cry’s and everything in between. I would highly recommend Nate as a celebrant to any couple! ”

He is adaptable, kind and very organised. I would highly recommend his services to anyone :) thank you for all your help! ”

“I chose Nate because his Instagram videos made him look like he would have all the qualities I was looking for - attention to detail, would build an awesome ceremony together with us, charismatic, genuine, someone we could call on for help & advice, and of course most importantly knock it out of the park as a celebrant and MC for the night. He did all of that and is someone we could trust at all times leading up to and throughout the event (even when the power went out!). Both my husband Pete and I are 100% confident that the day before AND day of would not have gone as smoothly as it did were it not for Nate. He was everything we were looking for and 10x more, 100% recommend. ”

“Would absolutely recommend Nate as a celebrant! He is fantastic, brings a wonderful joy and uplifting approach to the entire day, and is invaluable throughout the entire planning process, ensuring that the day runs smoothly. Cannot recommend him enough, definitely book with him, he will make sure you have a brilliant wedding and your guests will love him! ”

“We couldn't recommend Nate more highly! From the very beginning, his warm and personable nature put us at ease. In the lead-up to the day, his clear communication and regular check-ins took so much stress away. On the day, Nate struck the perfect balance of emotion and laughter, and the ceremony felt so authenticity us. As our MC, he was equally amazing - keeping the guests entertained and creating a fun atmosphere. So many people commented that it felt like Nate had been a friend of ours for years. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares, listens, gets to know you and can create a meaningful day that matches you to a tee, you can't go wrong - Nate is the person guy you have to have! ”

“Thank you Nate for being part of our special day. You're everything we could of wanted in a celebrant providing guidance and support the whole way. Malo lava!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Having Nate as both our celebrant and MC was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, he guided us with so much professionalism, patience, and care. He helped us plan the flow of our ceremony and reception, assisted us with our vows, and provided detailed resources that made the whole planning process so much easier. On the wedding day, Nate was absolutely incredible. He kept everything running smoothly, brought so much laughter and joy, and made sure we felt calm and collected throughout. He constantly checked in with us to ensure we were okay, and even had tissues prepared for us and our entourage (such a thoughtful touch that showed how much he cares!). He truly went above and beyond to make sure not only we, but everyone, had a great time. What we loved most was how he embraced and incorporated our Filipino traditions, even though it was his first time doing one. He carried it out so beautifully, making the day even more special and meaningful for us. Nate, thank you for everything – your talent, warmth, and dedication are unmatched. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and MC, and we highly recommend you to any couple looking for someone amazing to lead their wedding day! ”

“Nate is amazing, he made our ceremony funny and joyful. He brought many smiles on everyone’s face. He also discussed the steps to go through along the way which really helped me. He also checked in on us , making sure that we were ok, if we needed anything he would get it for us. I can’t thank Nate enough for his hard work. I highly appreciate Nate and will definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a celebrant. Thank you again Nate 😁 ”

“Nate was the MC for our wedding reception, and we couldn’t have made a better choice. We picked him after following his Instagram for a while and getting a sense of his style - fun, relaxed, with a great sense of humour. It was exactly the vibe we were going for. Nate was very o rganised and structured in the lead-up to the big day, from our first meeting through to drafting the reception schedule. He made excellent recommendations for parts we were unsure about and added plenty of his own fun touches. He was also very accommodating with our bespoke requests. On the day, his communication was flawless. He liaised with the venue, ensured everything was ready before our grand entrance, and checked in with us at key moments - without ever being overwhelming. Everything was perfectly executed. We could just relax, knowing everything was taken care of. We also got great feedback from our guests: “You had a really good MC!” Hiring a professional MC was actually a last minute decision in our planning, but it turned out to be one of the best. No need to burden a friend or family member, and the professional experience made the day run smoothly. If you’re wondering whether to hire an MC - do it, and get Nate (especially if he is going to be your celebrant as well). ”

“"Nate is an absolute legend " From the moment we met him, we knew he was the one to marry us. Nate is the most organized guy I've ever met . Fun loving , down to earth, and extremely responsive. Any questions or worries we had, he would have an answer or solution . He has got the marriage game on lock with his questionnaires, which makes everything super easy . If Nate Dunn pops up on your Google search for a celebrant look no further, he is the man for you . Thanks once again, Nate, for an awesome day ”

“You can't say much more than the perfect 5 star rating that's already here. Nate truly went out of his way throughout the whole process to make our day special for us, made us feel comfortable and as stress free as possible. Not only as celebrant but also as MC and allowing us to have "our style" of wedding, he kept everything on the rails for the whole night and we couldn't be more appreciative ”

“Nate was such a legend of a celebrant! Super fun, chilled out, and had just the right amount of charm to keep everything light and joyful. I got emotional during my vows and started crying, but Nate’s perfectly timed humour made the moment feel warm and comfortable instead of awk ward. What really stood out was how thoughtful he was always checking in on us to make sure we had a drink or some food, which honestly meant a lot in the whirlwind of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through such a special moment. Highly recommend Nate if you’re after someone who brings the good vibes and keeps things real. ”

“The nicest bloke who genuinely cares about you and your day. Nate really went out of his way to help put our minds at ease and carve out the absolute best possible outcome for ourselves and our guests. Don't hesitate, go with Nate!”

“As a bride, when your potential celebrant says "my job is to support the bride, because she's the one who has done most of the organising" I knew we had found the right person. By the time of the wedding, my groom was lucky to get an invite, but everything ran so smoothly with Na te (who was also MC) I knew the day would just happen and I didn't have to do a thing. Really recommend the meetings with Nate and asking him questions when you don't know what's happening - what a great support to have in the lead up to the day. Of course on the day, Nate was buttoning Groomsmen buttons, telling the venue that we would not be going inside despite the cyclone alert (as per my wishes - and it stayed dry!) and helped my disabled father without it even being an issue. If you want fun in your day, and knowing that someone will make sure you day runs how it's supposed to - get Nate. He's a pro. Some of the guests talked about getting engaged just so they could have Nate. So get in quick before my friends book him out! ”

“22nd April 2025. We had the wonderful honor of having Nate not only as our Celebrant but also our MC for the day. This review is long over due, but as they say good things take time. We have hunted down the right words to express our gratitude and none can compare. So we listed t he ones that first came to mind. Kind, meaningful, memorable, humorous, ensuring, human, entertaining and professional. These are just a few of words that we and our guest used to describe Nate. Our bridal party called Nate one of the crew, blending in to a tee. Our wishes for the day were granted with zero stress throughout the day thanks to Nate. Why you should have Nate as your Celebrant? His genuine, open and straight up as Co-bestman Selwyn would said "The Gee!" He made sure OUR day was about us and for us. Nate you're a blessing, adding to our memorable moments on this journey of our forever. Highly recommended, with friends and family still reflecting on the each moment, some wanting to get married just so you can be their Celebrant (Zakk). For the memories made and moments never to forget. THANK YOU NATE! Jonelle & Jensen Cundy ”

“Nate is hands down, the most amazing celebrant and MC in New Zealand. Liam and I absolutely LOVED him and so did our family and friends. From the beginning of wedding planning through to the end, Nate was super helpful, able to answer any questions that we had. He was also amazi ng in writing our ceremony and reception. Weddings come in many shapes and sizes, and Nate is happy apply whatever type of ceremony and reception to your day. We wrote our ceremony and reception as a team and we were so happy with the outcome. Nate also commits! Nate's flight was cancelled to our wedding so he drove up the day before and still made it to our rehearsal. Thank you Nate for being amazing, and for marrying us. We wouldn't have had it any other way. ”

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Nate Dunn as both our Celebrant and MC for our wedding, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the outset, Nate took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, and this shone through beautifully in our personalized ceremony and rec eption. It felt like he was sharing our story, making both my now wife and I feel completely at ease and deeply connected to the moment. We also loved his sense of humour, which added so much to the atmosphere What truly set Nate apart was his ability to make not only us, but also our guests, feel like family. We had so many of our family and friends comment on how amazing he was, and his warm and engaging presence was felt by everyone. Beyond the ceremony, Nate was an absolute legend as our MC. He brought an amazing energy to the reception and was a huge help in bringing structure and perfect timing to the entire wedding. The whole day and evening ran like clockwork, and Nate effortlessly kept everyone entertained. He has a natural ability to keep the flow going and ensure all our guests were having a fantastic time. If you're looking for a Celebrant and/or MC who is personable, engaging, and dedicated to making your day truly special and seamless, and whose delivery includes the perfect touch of humour, look no further than Nate Dunn. He was a huge part of our wedding, being the unforgettable day that it was. ”

“Nate was an outstanding addition to our wedding. He offered the opportunity to have someone passionate, invested and professional to not only help us navigate what is needed to plan and put on the perfect day. But was also a friendly voice and presence at the wedding itself, wi th so many of our guests telling us directly that he helped make the day one that was so memorable for them. Without Nate there would have been tremendous gaps in our knowledge and an awareness of what goes into making your dream wedding a reality. Both myself and my Wife would highly recommended Nate as a Celebrant but also as an MC as believe us, things will always end up different to what you have spent months/ years planning and when that does happen (and it will) having someone with Nates calm and experienced abilities on site, will be worth every cent. ”

“Nate was awesome. The attention to detail, his high energy and making the whole day go so smoothly. I can honestly say, we didn’t stress about anything the whole day of the wedding.”

“We couldn’t recommend Nate more highly—you won’t regret hiring him! Nate is so much more than just a celebrant and MC. He wore many hats on our big day, effortlessly stepping into various roles to help everything run smoothly. When things didn’t quite go to plan, he had backups (and even backups to the backups!) ready to go. His calm, confident presence kept us grounded, and his genuine warmth put both me and my partner completely at ease. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much he “made the day,” and honestly, we couldn’t think of a better way to describe the energy and joy he brought. Planning with Nate was so much fun—it felt like a close friend was marrying us. As a midwife, I often hear clients say how sad they are when our time together ends, and that’s exactly how we felt when our journey with Nate came to a close. Hopefully, we won’t need to get married again—but if we do, there’s no question: Nate will be our guy ”

“Nate was awesome! He was professional and supportive from the start. He was funny and made the vibe relaxed and enjoyable at the ceremony. Nate gave my husband and I the perfect wedding for us :)”

We felt totally comfortable and in good hands the whole time. Couldn’t recommend him more—he added such a great vibe to our day! ”

“Having Nate as our celebrant and MC was one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. He was so organised and professional in the lead up to the day, and on the day he brought a great energy to the ceremony and was the reason the reception ran so smoothly.

He would check in on the bridal party throughout the day, check-in with the vendors and even carried the train of my dress when the ceremony finished so I could hug all of our guests!! As an MC, he read the room so well. He kept everyone engaged, laughing and having a good time. Everyone was so impressed and loved him! Following our wedding, there’s probably at least 5 more coming his way from engaged couples who want to use him as well - Be prepared Nate! You can’t get rid of us that easily. Thank you Nate. You truly are amazing at your job and made our day feel so special. We can’t recommend you highly enough. ”

My partner and I wanted a wedding that was casual, personalised, and fun, while still being organised and seamless. Nate was the perfect fit. He was warm and professional throughout the entire process and is exceptional at what he does. Nate takes the time to connect with you on a personal level—so much so that some of our bridal party thought he was an old friend. We even heard from friends planning their own wedding that they now have 'celebrant envy'! Nate kept the atmosphere lighthearted and made the entire experience effortless. ”

“If you’re getting married you may find yourself asking Where does one even start when planning the rest of their lives. Well the answer is simple, You hire Nate. From our first meeting at a hole in a wall bar in Mt Eden we knew it was kismet, as he instantly put us at ease bala ncing out the golden retriever energy of the groom and the black cat vibes of the bride and somehow seamlessly fitting into our relationship like we had always been three. Nate came highly recommended by our amazing photographer Ethan who said to us “if you want someone who will be there for you, do anything for you, pick Nate” safe to say we went in with high expectations and this man, oh he didn’t disappoint. He was organised, insightful and invested in creating the most special day for us from the get go. offering advice, recommendations and counsel throughout our journey to the alter. He truly took the time to get to know us for the people we were together and individually through our many meets up and constant check ins leading up to the day. A constant breath of calm he always took the time to connect and bring the zen reminding us to enjoy the process and the ups and downs you find along the way. Charismatic and inherently funny He makes what can be the most complicated and stressful time in any persons life simple, easy and a straight up breeze. When our wedding day did come around and the heavens opened up and our mid March wedding became a little more wet than expected he took this in his stride and as we entwined our lives he stood with us guiding the way with confidence, kindness and a good hearty douse of humour. he went above and beyond wand and all to ensure the magic you feel when you marry the person you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with was felt in every moment every minute and every glance of our day. When I think back on the year that was, the build up, the days before and our wedding day I can’t imagine anyone more perfect to have celebrated our journey, guided our next adventure and officiated the first day of the rest of our lives than Nate. He truly is the most special person whose whole being lives, loves and breathes laughter, joy, devotion and calm on one of the most beautifully chaotic days of your lives. I know in 50 years when we look back on this time the good the rain and one of the best celebrations of our lives, he will be one of the first things we remember for all of this was made even the more sweeter with his presence in it. ”

“Nate is the perfect celebrant! We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to choose Nate to be our celebrant so if you’re getting married we highly recommend Nate to be your celebrant. Nate was more than a celebrant, Nate was like a friend that we’ve had for years! He was l ovely, super friendly, very organised, funny, and made sure that my husband and I didn’t stress out during the planning process. He went above and beyond during the ceremony and made everyone feel comfortable. Some of our guests even approached us for Nate’s contact details as they mentioned they would want Nate to be their celebrant for their big day too. Nate made everyone laugh and his story telling got everyone hooked. We could go on and on and on about how amazing Nate is. He is just the absolute best! So from our whole family especially from me and my husband, we would to give our big thanks to you Nate for being our celebrant and made our special day unforgettable :) ”

“We booked Nate to be our celebrant for our March 2024 wedding at Baylys farm. We were recommended Nate through a friend when we struggled to find the right celebrant. We met with him for a drink and almost instantly knew he was the right fit! Nate is so knowledgeable and professi onal and does the job of 5 people, even taking a few pics/videos after the ceremony to send through. He has all the tips for your day to go smoothly and really focuses on getting to know you well as a couple so that the ceremony is personal. He goes the extra mile and even helped us set up the day before our wedding and attended our pre wedding drinks to get to know everyone. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to marry us, thank you Nate for being a part of our day! ”

“We found Nate through google and word of mouth and we couldn’t have picked a better person to officiate and MC our wedding! From the first meeting to filling up his questionnaires and to organizing and planning our wedding. Nate had supported us throughout all stages of planning. Being a couple of anti-social we have limited ideas on how weddings should flow. However, Nate was kind enough to share his knowledge and made our wedding planning easy and stress free. On the day of the wedding, he took on the role of the leader and worked alongside our other vendors to make sure that our wedding flowed smoothly, despite meeting each other for the first time. Nate consistently made sure each in everyone involved in the wedding knew what their doing, making it easy and stress free and most of all an amazing time. Prior to our ceremony, he made sure to check up on us and reminded us that it was our day. Nate distracted us from feeling overwhelmed and anxious by playing our hype song to shake off the nerves. He reminded us that this day is for us and not for our guests, giving us the time of our life (it was truly the best day of life!). During the ceremony, our guest were captivated and present by his charisma. Our guest couldn’t get enough with his jokes and his personality that carried through to the reception as our MC. His game of last man standing had everyone laughing. Overall, Nate had took the time to get to know us well to capture and execute our wedding beyond our expectations. Throughout the day, we felt that he was not only one of our vendors, but he was more of family and a friend. We couldn’t thank him enough for taking a part of our wedding. ”

“My Husband and I got married on 04/04/24 and what a magical day that was, Nate we have you to thank for that! From settling the nerves of all the formalities in the ceremony to being the burst of energy as the MC at our reception. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. Eve n down to the small details like Nate holding my bouquet while we were talking to family and friends. A highlight was that we had many guests ask us how long we had known Nate as he fit right in with all of us and it felt like old friends catching up. which exactly what we wanted. We could not fault Nate one bit and are super grateful for how our day turned out with zero stress all due to him! ”

Our guests told us how much they enjoyed his ceremony, and how quick he was to bounce off our jokes and get a feel for the mood.

“Nate was the celebrant for our registry wedding and I'm so grateful he was part of our day! His professionalism is top notch - he has a great website, responds super fast, and arrived right on time. However, what really sets Nate apart as a celebrant are his people skills. I was initially a bit stressed about what to expect and felt awkward being in a park. Nate instantly got to work chatting us up and using humor to lighten the mood. It's clear that Nate loves what he does and wants to go above and beyond to make sure you have a positive and memorable ceremony. Thank you Nate!!! ”

My Husband and I could not recommend Nate more, and are so honored to have had him as our celebrant. ”

“We couldn't have asked for a better officiant and MC for our wedding day. Nate struck the perfect balance between humor and tradition for our ceremony and multiple guests said it was the best ceremony they have ever experienced because of how personalized and unique it was to us as a couple. Nate continued to check-in with us about our preferences for the ceremony and reception and was able to curate our wedding day perfectly. He made our guests feel welcome and in the know about the reception order of events and ensured that everything ran smoothly even when there were unanticipated delays.

Was thankful to have someone like him to walk us through the process. Would highly recommend him as a celebrant. Our family love you!! Great sense of humour. ”

“We never wanted a wedding but after many years together thought it might be a good idea to be legally married so we went for a simple registry ceremony. Nate lives and facilitates registry weddings 5 minutes away from our house, has a good website and a good booking system (which I appreciate both as an IT professional and as a millenial who hates contacting people). He also seemed like a chill dude. We're very glad we ended up choosing him, the booking process was straightforward and on the day Nate was the perfect mix of funny and professional which was what we needed as we were very casual about the whole thing and he got the vibe perfectly. Great experience, thanks Nate :) ”

“I cannot recommend Nate enough. This software-developer-by-week, celebrant-by-weekend (kind of like a "Clark Kent-Superman" situation), thinks of every single aspect of your day, putting you at ease - so you'll have many less things to stress about come your big day! Plus, he'll leave you wanting to be his friend! I could tell, just from the initial look-through on his website, that he was going to be a great fit for our elopement. From sharing my love of lists, to the email reminders, to making every one of our guests laugh, you cannot go wrong with choosing him. He is friendly, fun and hilarious! Thank you, Nate! When we decide to have a big wedding ceremony in a couple of years, you'll be on speed dial! ”

“The best decision we made (aside from getting married) was locking Nate in as our celebrant. Leading up to big day we were both a bit nervous about the ceremony but he put us at ease every step of the way. Nate’s so experienced, he was able to guide us through planning the perfec t ceremony to reflect us as a couple and our journey to the altar. He got to know us so well that it felt like having a mate there and he created a lovely, relaxed and fun environment for everyone. We also had Nate stay on as our MC, another excellent call by us. He coordinated with all our vendors to make sure it ran smoothly, held my bouquet for me and swapped it for a drink between photos and made sure everyone was where they needed to be so we could just enjoy the evening. Our guests loved him and so many people have commented on how great he was. We had the best day and Nate was a very large part of that! Thanks again! ”

From our first intro beer when we met him it was clear he was very charismatic, easy going and great to get long with his sense of humour. On top of this he is very professional and incredibly organised which won us over instantly. He really does go above and beyond focusing on all the details and the process leading up to the day and makes it as easy as possible for you. On the day itself we were so grateful for his incredible sense of humour and ability to keep everyone engaged and calm. Nate thank you again for all the effort you put in to making our wedding ceremony so memorable - if it could be 6 stars it would be! ”

“From first contact Nate was sensitive, comforting, fun, professional, clear and to the point. This theme continued right through to our wedding on the 24th of July 2023. Nate was both our celebrant and MC. Nate quickly worked out what each person needs from their celebrant and w as able to intuitively engage both bride and groom on their terms. You freaking out? Nate has a fix for that. You unsure what you should be doing? Nate has a schedule for that. You worried what Nate is going to say? Nate has the entire script ready to be checked. Nate exudes natural leadership skills and is able to roll on the fly as people are comfortable following him. Honestly I think he could have winged the whole event perfectly if I hadn’t read the script already. Nate is not just an excellent planner, brilliant people person but also a damn good human being. I doubt he has ever met anyone he does not get on with. Thank you Nate for making or big day an amazing day. ”

“Highly recommend Nate! We had a short and sweet registry ceremony. From the beginning, Nate was very clear, organised and responsive. On the day, he was confident, personable, witty and very good at easing any nerves. It was perfect. Thanks again Nate!”

We had a very simple day with just the two of us and witnesses but Nate, no matter the size of the ceremony, gave his 100%! He was funny, charismatic, professional and made us feel very at ease. Nat e's very experienced & understanding so rest assured that you will have a stress free wedding with him as your celebrant. 10/10 highly recommended!! ”

“Second only to the decision of marrying my husband, was the decision to choose Nate as our celebrant. Not only is he incredibly organised and knowledgeable, he is without a doubt a laugh and half to have present on your day. My husband and I honestly felt like we had an old frien d up there at the aisle with us. He's been around the block as far as weddings go, so he has endless tips, tricks and stories, as well as vendor recommendations and do's and don'ts for the day of - I literally could sing his praises all day long. We booked him to be our MC as well, and the level of care and detail in all our pre-wedding emails to organise vows, speeches, reception flow etc was just outstanding, he doesn't miss a trick. Amazingly he also took the time to slowly pronounce all of our difficult family last names when helping organise photos, was constantly making sure we had drink top ups and had eaten some dinner during reception, and was rated 5 stars by all our friends and family at the day after de-brief. Stop reading my review and just book Nate already. ”

“easy going, professional guy, enjoyed the process but hopefully won't need his services again :)”

“Nate is a great celebrant. We wanted a simple non-personalised ceremony. It ended up being anything but impersonal. Nate made us feel relaxed and at ease, there was lots of laugher and he made the event feel special. We would highly recommend him.”

He goes the extra mile and has done so many weddings that he has truly perfected the role of Celebrant. Before planning my wedding, I didn’t realise how important the celebrant was, and now I realise how big of a role this person plays on the day. Thank you Nate! ”

“We highly recommend Nate to be your celebrant! He is organised, fast responding and customises everything to your vision, even down to his outfit on the day! We wanted our big day to be filled with happiness and laughter, Nate hit the nail on the head! Everyone was complimenting us on the ceremony and mentioning how much fun they had and that our celebrant made it like no other wedding they had been to before! ”

“From our first meeting with Nate we both knew that he was the celebrant for us. Nate was both our celebrant and MC. Nate is personable, organised and attentive. Our timeline was shorter than most, with Nate's guidance and support and having worked with our venue before, we di dn't have any stress in the lead up to, or on our day. We had such a wonderful day, so many people asked us if we had been friends with Nate prior to our wedding. So many of our guests have told us that it was one of the nicest weddings they have been to relaxed, fun, light hearted, heartfelt and intimate. Thank you Nate for helping us to achieve the vision that we had for our Wedding day. Todd & Tennille Bradley ”

He really went above and beyond, checking in with us and taking time to connect with our family & friends that were there. We had endless compliments about how amazing he was with everything.

He provides great direction, suggestions, and reassurance, and gives it 110% on the day. He worked great alongside our other vendors to ensure their requirements were me t and to keep our day running smoothly. He was also able to coordinate everybody on the fly to give us a sneaky 5 minutes to ourselves, which was amazing. All of our guests were raving about him after the ceremony and reception, 10/10 would have him marry us again! ”

“Nate was the perfect celebrant for our wedding. Obviously for all the things you'd expect: professional, organized, calm, knows his way around public speaking etc - but the ultimate reason was because of his personality. Phil and I were adamant that we wanted a light-hearted and personal ceremony, and Nate delivered exactly that. Nate has planning a wedding ceremony down to a fine art, providing all the steps required to build the ceremony and checking in constantly along the way. At no point did we feel in the dark about how the big day would turn out, and on the day, it went smoother than we could have imagined. After the ceremony, a number of guests asked how we knew Nate, because it seemed as though we had known each other for years. We also had a large number of compliments about the ceremony and how it was a beautiful representation of our relationship. Nate did a spectacular job of weaving the ceremony together with personal anecdotes, plenty of laughs and a tongue in cheek delivery that made it all feel super personal. We're both so grateful to have had the pleasure of being married by Nate - cannot recommend highly enough. Few things are as worth the money as his ceremony turned out to be. ”

“Nate was very organised and made sure that the ceremony went very well. We got a lot of positive feedback from guests about how it went.”

“Nate was simply incredible with our wedding - not only did he get our names right he was very well prepared and worked with us to ensure everything was perfect. Thanks so much Nate! We couldn't have picked a better Celebrant!”

“We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to choose Nate to be our celebrant. He’s a genuine and caring guy who truly wants the best for you and your wedding. His professionalism coupled with his humour and organisation meant for a stress free process. He’ll go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable leading up to and on your day. He’ll work with you to create your perfect ceremony, assist you with vow writing without over stepping, ensure all the boxes are ticked and be the person you didn’t know you needed for your wedding. Thank you Nate, our day wouldn’t have been the same without you! ”

“Was excellent and on time.”

“Nate was the best celebrant and MC we could have hoped for. He was organised, informative and just an all round great guy to be involved in our special day. Nate is professional and was very easy to get in contact with to answer questions/provide support. Nate talked us into writ ing our own vows (which we didn’t think was something we would do). Jayden and I are both so happy that he did this, it was such a good idea and made the ceremony so much more personalised to us and our relationship. Nate made the planning of our ceremony and reception so easy and stress free. Thank you so much Nate for being the best celebrant/MC our day wouldn’t have run as smoothly as it did without you. ”

“Nate is an absolute aswsome celebrant. Professional, efficient, very friendly and well organised. Highly recommended to all!”

“We were fortunate enough to secure Nate for our wedding at McHughes on Cheltenham 18th March 2023! Nate was our celebrant as well as our MC! The entire process working with Nate was incredible, he is professional, detailed, organised and so very knowledgeable. But most of all whi ch believe me is critical to have, he is fun, has a brilliant sense of humour had our guests laughing, kept the entire wedding process on point, which really is so key to making the day all pull together! Shares ideas, and his experiences. Thank you Nate, we honestly could not of done this without you, we think you phenomenal, Leigh and Paul Duncan ”

“Awesome how Nate just bought a vibe and getting everyone involved and making things so casual and relaxed.Thank you for sharing our Beautiful Day and making memories that will cherish forever! Faka Aue Lahi(Thank you Heaps) in Niuean!”

“We had wonderful ceremony with Nate, he is warm welcome and full of passion. Thank you Nate.”

“Nate was our celebrant and MC for our wedding on the 4th Feb 2023 and we would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a personable and caring celebrant AND MC. He took the time to get to know us and structured an amazing /seemless ceremony and reception that was personalised to u s. We were both nervous about the ceremony and vows and he was there helping us a long the way. If you are thinking about getting a friend to MC DONT let Nate take that stress off you, your friends/family and have him coordinate and run this for you, I can not tell you what a relief it was to have this handled, trust me it takes a type of person to run everything behind the scenes and keep you tracking on time. It was also awesome to have Nate involved from start to finish, he's like a mate and easily fit in with everyone in the group. Nate is an all around awesome guy who wants to make sure your day goes smooth! We couldn't have had such an enjoyable day without him! Fans for life x ”

“Nate was great to worth with and made our day perfect. He is engaging and authentic and gave the day the respect it deserves. Thanks Nate, stoked to have you as part of our day.”

“Highly recommend Nate - he married us over on Waiheke during the flooding and he made everyone feel at ease. Brought us all to so much laughter and just felt like a super genuine person to have as a celebrant which is all you can ask for on your special day. Thanks again Nate!”

“We couldn't recommend Nate enough! He helped us with every step along the way to plan our special day, and was incredibly well prepared. With the perfect mixture of light heartedness and seriousness we couldn't have picked a better celebrant. All our guests are continually commen ting on how amazing he was weeks after our ceremony, so if you're out there currently looking for a celebrant; you've found him! ”

“Best experience”

“From the moment we first met Nate, we knew he was the celebrant we wanted to marry us on our wedding day. Nate was extremely organised, funny and felt like a friend from the first time we met. The whole process was seamless and our ceremony was everything we could have dreamed of. Nate created a ceremony that was personalised to us, and it encapsulated everything we are as a couple. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and MC. We wish we could do it all over again. Thanks again Nate, Lana & Cam. ”

“Nate is a true professional and made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. If you're looking for a celebrant who will bring a lot of laughter and joy to your big day, look no further! He is the absolute best in the business and will make sure your wedding ceremony is a da y you'll never forget. From start to finish, he made our special day unforgettable. Not only did he handle all the legal aspects of our ceremony with ease, but he brought so much humor and lightheartedness to the occasion. It was clear he was truly invested in making our wedding day as special as possible. His wit and humor had everyone in stitches and brought so many smiles to our guests' faces. Nate had a unique way of making even the most formal parts of the ceremony feel relaxed and enjoyable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved Nate and how he made the ceremony so memorable. In all honesty, I wouldn't recommend anyone else for your wedding ceremony. Nate went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and it truly showed. ”

“Nate is both professional and compassionate. From the moment we booked, right through to the filing of our paper work, Nate provided exceptional, clear communication outlining the process and what and when we needed to contribute, giving us complete confidence. The respect and ca re he has for his role is evident in how smoothly our impromptu wedding ran. Thank you Nate, we couldn’t have asked for more! ”

“Nate was easy to communicate, very professional and he guided really well on each step which made the process very smooth. Thank you again for making our day special by adding a bit of laughter and I would highly recommend him to everyone who is looking to get married in New Zeal and. ”

“It's hard to describe just how amazing a celebrant Nate is, everything about the experience of working with him was fantastic and we are so glad we chose him. Nate made us feel special and looked after, he provided a calm centre to our storm of wedding planning and he brought a g reat sense of humour to the whole proceedings. He's organised, understanding and flexible and knows how to ensure he knows the general feel of the wedding and fits in with what you need. Nate talked to us about doing our own vows (not something we had considered before) and we are so glad he talked us into it! He helps you along every step of the way and makes the ceremony completely yours. We have no reservations in recommending Nate to anyone looking for a celebrant to make your wedding memorable and to ease the burden of planning. Thanks Nate! ”

“Nate was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning he was so easy to warm to & put us both at ease. Weddings can be stressful, and knowing what to do can sometimes be overwhelming, but he made it simple. He was there every step of the way, and nothing was ever a problem. The ceremony was brilliant & guests found him hilarious (even had another friend who was a celebrant taking notes!). Nate travelled to Waiheke for us during the worst rainfall Waiheke/Auckland had ever seen, arrived on time (despite delayed ferries) and created magic on the day. I guess I can't say "I hope to work with you again!" ha ha, but I certainly can say I'd strongly recommend using Nate. ”

“If you’re getting married I 100% recommend Nate to be your celebrant and MC! Nate is so lovely, very organised, professional and gave us great advice and support throughout the planning process! Nate gave us questionnaires to fill out to make our ceremony and reception fit us pe rfectly - and he was always there when we needed any help. Nate was our celebrant and our MC and without him I don’t know how our day would’ve turned out! As we were running a bit behind schedule - he made sure to push dinner back, he got us drinks from the bar, and even carried my veil 🥺 He went above and beyond to make our day as stress free as possible! We got a lot of compliments on how great he was, some of our guests even thought he was our friend! That’s how well he meshed in with our friends an family! So I highly recommend Nate to anyone getting married!! So thank you Nate for being apart of our special day! ”

“Nate was awesome! I'm so glad we found him :-) He prompted us to organise our wedding and do all the right things at the right time - otherwise we would have been clueless! We had a lovely, relaxed beach wedding and a large part of this is due to him being our celebrant. I thorou ghly recommend Nate! 5 stars ***** ”

“Nate is a wonderfully charismatic celebrant! He turned a short and simple registry wedding into a very memorable one. Will be looking to have him for our larger ceremony!”

“Throughout the entire process Nate was incredibly professional and put us at ease. On the day of our wedding he went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Not only was Nate our celebrant, but also our MC and I truly believe the day wouldn’t have gone as well as i t did, if it wasn’t for Nate. He made us laugh and cry and kept our vendors up to date with everything going on. We couldn’t be more grateful for him and highly recommend him to anyone getting married! ”

“Nate is definitely a professional and caring celebrant. We had the best time with him. Highly recommended”

“We feel so lucky that we stumbled upon Nate. I can’t describe fully how easy he made this whole journey, from first booking in to meet him, to check in’s, all the way to the big day. Nate was a lifesaver at every single turn. He absolutely goes above and beyond at every step, whi le making you feel like you’re the only couple in the world. He touched base consistently so you’re always across what’s happening, but also checks in to see how planning is going so you feel like you have a wedding expert supporting you too. As a bride, who organised the whole wedding herself, for me that was so incredibly comforting. He was always available for questions, or even a beer if you needed. He also takes such time to get to know you so that your day is perfectly tailored to you as a couple. There’s no copy and paste ceremonies here! Nate is truely something special when it comes to celebrants. We knew we picked the right person when we met Nate. He was the perfect mix of legendary comedian and serious professional about making your day and the planning process perfect. We probably spoke for a few minutes when myself and my partner turned to each other and said we felt like we knew Nate our whole lives. After the smoothest process of preparing with Nate, the big day came, and -oh my god- did Nate play a stormer! Nate set the tone with us so there were no nerves before we headed down the isle and then set the tone with our guests. Our family and friends cried and laughed and hung on to Nate’s every word the whole way through. Every single person we spoke to after the wedding talked about Nate’s beautiful, funny, personal ceremony. People even forgot to congratulate us because they were literally obsessed with how amazing the ceremony had been. We had an overwhelming amount of people who were genuine in telling us that it was the best ceremony they had every watched, and that totally came down to Nate. Nate set the tone, in exactly the way that we had wanted and that was natural for him, so our guests felt the effort that he had put into making our day absolutely for us. If I had to change everything about my wedding and only keep 1 factor the same, it would be Nate standing there with us. We trusted him the the most important day of our lives and he over delivered at every opportunity. We even still have guests calling us to say that they would pay money to see Nate speak anywhere! Book him for your wedding before you’re booking to see his stand up! ”

“We hired Nate as our celebrant and MC, he brought the special sauce we needed to make our wedding the perfect day. He listened to us and provided the perfect combination of humour, romance and organisation to compliment our plans. Thanks so much, Nate!”

“If you’re looking for someone super organised, funny and trustworthy to make your wedding one to remember, then this is your guy! Nate was our celebrant and MC last month and we are still receiving messages from our guests telling us how amazing he was. Our journey with Nate fro m the beginning to end was super smooth and organised. He responds quickly, is sure to remind you if you haven’t completed something and everything he plans to say is sent to you to approve beforehand. He was personable and remembered our close family members names so he fit right in. My husband and I are very organised people and do not trust many to complete our tasks to the standards we set but this man smashed it out of the park!!! If you are lucky enough to claim a spot in his busy schedule, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Nate. You really made our day :) Georgia and Jon ”

“Nate is super friendly and made the whole ceremony smooth and stress-free! Also very engaging and interactive, I would highly recommend Nate to be your wedding celebrant!”

“We can't thank Nate enough for helping in making our special day amazing! His organisation, eye for detail and empathetic warm energy made the day run smoothly. We received many comments from family and friends on just how much he made the evening and contributed to the day. Woul d highly recommend. ”

“If I could, I would give 10+ stars! I honestly had no idea what to expect, so nerves and anxiety was at an all time high when I arrived at the venue. Nate made me laugh and kept me sane the few mins before I walked down the aisle. The ceremony was everything I wished for, efficie nt, simple and filled with joy. My husband and I laughed the entire time as Nate directed us on what to say, when to say, where to look lol even how to pose for photos! I highly recommend him if you aren't too keen on the elaborate church ceremony, nor the transactional registry wedding, Nate gives the best of both worlds and it was a blessing to have him at our wedding xx ”

“Nate was very kind, and informative. Since I don’t live in NZ, I thought it was going to be a hassle to have a registry marriage there, but Nate made it very easy, convenient and was also able to help and provide one witness for us. It was overall a pleasant day, I highly recomme nd Nate as your celebrant if you have plan to do a registry marriage in Auckland. ”

“We recently had Nate as celebrant for our wedding at McGrath Estate in Auckland. From the moment we saw him we knew he was the right guy for it and he did not disappoint, we met up a few times before the wedding and did the rehearsal. He was extremely professional, well organised but also laid back and made us feel at ease on the big day. Nate managed to keep us relaxed, smiling and happy all throughout the process and most importantly on the day. He was very flexible with whatever direction we wanted and was a hit with everyone at the wedding. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for an amazing celebrant! Steve and Britt Wilkinson ”

“We chose Nate as our marriage celebrant as we were looking for someone genuine, honest and “down-to-earth”. Nate ultimately suited what we wanted for our ceremony, including being memorable for us and also our guests. Nate is clearly experienced and has a very organised process l eading up to the wedding, which made us feel confident and prepared. We trusted the process and he had everything covered. A message from one of our guests sums it up for us: "The celebrant was just awesome - making an important day fun and relaxed." -we agree, thank you Nate. Michael & Kate ”

“I do not have the words to accurately describe how incredible Nate was for our wedding. From the moment we had our initial conversation, he made us feel so comfortable and made us so much more excited for our special day. His sense of humor and professionalism are indescribable. He is caring, compassionate, and everything you want your celebrant to be. Our ceremony simply would not have been what it was without Nate. ”

“Thanks for making our day even more special. Professionally keeping us on track along the journey but with great banter and energy. Like an old friend that had come to hang for the day. Everyone loved you. The vibe you set put the secret sauce on our day. The host with the most. Thanks again. ”

“Nate was awesome, he made our small ceremony light and fun, just the way we wanted. We appreciate him accommodating to an earlier time in the morning and made it short and sweet as we needed to head off pretty quickly afterwards. But we still had plenty of laughs! One guest comme nted 'why did we go through all that trouble doing a big wedding', so our small registration ceremony was perfect with Nate. Thank you! ”

“It was a great privilege working with Nate from planning the wedding to the actual wedding day.Nate was just awesome. Not only he was our celebrant he also was our MC for the reception and he was amazing. All our family and friends really loved him.

Nate provides full information before, during and after your service which is very reassuring. I am recommending Nate to all my family and friends because I had such an awesome experience with him. ”

We wanted a simple and light hearted event which went exactly as we had hoped thanks t o Nate’s balance of humour and professionalism. Although ours was a simple event he ensured we were prepped and sent reminders up to and on the day as to what we needed to do, bring etc. Our witnesses were also very impressed and commented on how he made the day and pitched his approach perfectly for our occasion. Thank you, highly recommend. 😊 ”

“Nate married us in NZ during one of the lulls in the pandemic and he was super flexible and accommodating. Fast forward to this year and we had another ceremony over here in Australia and we loved seeing him again. The family and friends loved having him around and we now conside r him a friend of ours. Cannot recommend him more highly, such a cruisey, funny and genuine guy. We shopped around for a long time in both NZ and Australia and it was an easy choice to have him back again. ”

Couldn’t recommend more, everyone raved about him and how lovely and fun the ceremony was. Thanks Nate! Steph & Tim xx ”

“Nate was the celebrant and MC for our wedding recently and we are so glad we chose him! He's super friendly, knowledgably and ORGANISED! He has an awesome online platform where he asks a bunch of questions of the bride and groom so he can build a beautiful speech for the ceremo ny - and once he's done he sends it to the bride and groom for review and any tweaks. He also helps the bride and groom write their own vows by sending through examples and offering tips etc - he's been to lots of weddings so he knows what he's talking about. He took a lot of the stress out of the ceremony for us by coordinating it all in this way. We also had him as our MC and am so glad we did - he helped wrangle everyone for the family/friends photos straight after the ceremony with ease. He also made sure the reception ran smoothly - checking in with us etc. Other great things: - He offers a zoom call interview -so you can get to know him and see if he's the right vibe for you. I would say he's the right vibe for at least 70% of couples haha - He's a pro at running a great wedding rehearsal. He's got it down to an art. - He submitted our wedding certificate same day so there was no stress about getting it filed on time. - He's just an all round awesome guy - friendly, funny and helpful. ”

“Nate is the best Celebrant, he guided us throughout the whole process stress-free and everything went as planned. From our first meeting, to helping us choose and craft the perfect ceremony, Nate was charismatic and professional. He is also one of the few celebrants out there wil ling to attend a location / out-of-the-city wedding. Our wedding was perfect and Nate was a big part of it, everyone from our guests to the photographer loved his work and sure will have him when we renew our vows. ”

I would recommend Nate to anyone and everyone if you want the best celebrant and/or MC that New Zealand has to offer! ”

In the run up to the wedding he was so so helpful ( and patient) whilst we planned our ceremony contents. He communicated efficiently and we felt he went over an d above helping up with the smaller details. Nate was always flexible and that was much appreciated. Our rehearsal was well organized and we got the job done in no time. On the day Nate was just the best.

We highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a celebrant who know s what he's doing. 5/5. ”

“Nate was our back up celebrant, due to our original celebrant not being available when we had to postpone our wedding the first time. And, it was the best thing that could have happened for us. Nate fit with us so perfectly that it was like having one of our mates hanging out wit h us. We had so many of our guests comment on the day (and since) about how amazing Nate was! After the second postponement, we also asked Nate to step in as our MC, where he carried on the fantastic job. Leading up to the day, Nate worked with us both closely to make sure that the ceremony & reception would be exactly how we wanted it, and that there would be no surprises on the day. His communication was prompt, respectful, and informative. Our day was absolutely perfect, and Nate played a massive part in that. We couldn't recommend him highly enough. ”

“Nate was absolutely amazing in helping us celebrate our day. We had a small, last minute ceremony which Nate was able to accomodate and assist with, ensuring everything went smoothly. He was able to involve everyone both there in person and joining us from afar via Zoom. We will definitely be asking Nate to be a part of our day when all of our family and friends across the globe are able to join us to renew our vows. Thanks again Nate for making our day everything we’d hoped for! ”
