Meet Your Celebrant

Outdoor wedding ceremony officiated by Ollie, Tie the Knot Christchurch

Hi, I’m Ollie.

As a Canterbury-based celebrant and professional third wheel (the good kind!), I’m here to help you Tie the Knot with a whole lot of love, laughter, and just the right amount of sparkle ✨

This is me.

When I’m not helping couples say “I do,” you’ll probably find me running or biking up a hill somewhere before breakfast with my dog, Maggie (equal parts energiser and endorphin-chaser). I bring that same upbeat energy and enthusiasm to your big day!

Years of speech and drama taught me how to handle a crowd but more importantly, I love making people feel happy, at ease, included and celebrated. Alongside that, I bring a calm, organised approach that means you can actually relax and enjoy the experience. From the planning to the paperwork, I’m across the details so nothing feels stressful or overwhelming.

I’ll help make your day perfect.

I’ll walk you through the each step - from vow-writing to the legal bits - with clear guidance, thoughtful planning, and zero fuss. I believe the lead-up matters just as much as the day itself, and I want you to enjoy it!

Whether your style is short and sweet, warm and heartfelt, or a little bit unexpected, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that feels completely you. I’m here to make sure it’s relaxed, meaningful, and honestly - just a really good time.

I’m not over-the-top lovey-dovey, but I do love a happy moment - and helping people feel comfortable and cared for (without the cringe).

Over the years, I’ve been the go-to person for hosting events, writing speeches, and holding it together in moments that matter. Becoming a celebrant just made sense. It combines everything I love: people, connection, and creating something meaningful (with just a little sparkle on top).

Let’s meet.

I’m always up for a chat over a strong flat white - so if you’re dreaming up a ceremony, I’d love have coffee (or wine!) and hear all about it. We’ll keep it relaxed, real, add a bit of shine - and have a good laugh along the way!
