Meet Your Celebrant

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 little love, a little 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 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, feel at ease, included and celebrated.

I’ll help make your day perfect.

I’ll walk you through the each step - from vow-writing to the legal bits - and make sure you enjoy the lead-up just as much as the day itself.

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 cared for and comfortable (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!
