About me
Kia ora and welcome — I’m Mike Chetty, an independent civil union and marriage celebrant, and a validated member of CANZ (Celebrants Association of New Zealand), based here in beautiful Aotearoa.
Whether you’re planning a simple registry-style wedding, an intimate home ceremony, or a joyful celebration surrounded by whānau and friends, my goal is to help you create a moment that feels completely yours.
Every couple’s journey is unique, and I take the time to listen, guide, and craft a ceremony that reflects your love, values, and personality. Warm, professional, and genuinely caring — I’m here to make your wedding day stress-free, memorable, and truly meaningful.
Being a celebrant gives me the privilege of meeting wonderful couples, hearing their stories, and helping them create ceremonies that feel natural, personal, and full of meaning.
Here’s what couples often tell me makes the biggest difference:
Personalised ceremonies
Never one-size-fits-all: I take the time to truly get to know you both — your story, your personalities, and what matters most to you. Every ceremony I create is unique, heartfelt, and tailored specifically for you.
A calm, warm, and supportive presence:
Weddings can feel overwhelming, so I bring a steady, reassuring, and friendly presence from day one. My goal is to make the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.
Flexible, collaborative, and open-minded
Whether you want something traditional, modern, fun, cultural, intimate, or completely personalised, I’m here to help bring your vision to life.
Professional guidance you can trust:
From legal requirements to ceremony structure, vows, readings, and timing — I guide you through each step so you always feel confident and informed.
Clear communication
I pride myself on being organised, reliable, and easy to communicate with. On the day, I deliver your ceremony clearly, confidently, and with genuine warmth.
A genuine love for what I do:
Being a celebrant is a privilege. I care deeply about creating memorable moments that reflect who you are as a couple.
"Mike was absolutely amazing! He made our ceremony so personal and special. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant."
