Poppy the Celebrant

About Me

Kia ora, I’m Poppy, a passionate marriage celebrant based in the beautiful city of Nelson. I celebrate marriages, civil unions, wedding blessings and vow renewals. My goal is to create a ceremony that truly reflects your unique love story and values.

With a background in event planning and public speaking, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your special day is seamless and memorable. As a Nelson local and having had my own wedding here, I can provide recommendations on venues and services such as florists, hair stylists and make up artists.

I understand the importance of a personal and meaningful ceremony and I take the time to get to know each couple, helping to weave their personalities and love story into the ceremony. I also love to help you involve friends and loved ones into your ceremony, making sure that your special day has an intimate, unique and personalised feel.

Let’s work together to create a beautiful and unforgettable celebration of your love!

What people are saying

We are incredibly grateful to Poppy for officiating our wedding and making it truly unforgettable. The ceremony was so personal to us and perfectly reflected who we are as a couple, with just the right balance of laughter and emotion. We received countless compliments from our guests about how meaningful and beautiful the ceremony was. Not only did she deliver our ceremony flawlessly but when things beyond our control started to go awry on the day, Poppy’s background in event planning truly shone through. She kept us calm and helped guide us toward solutions, making it feel like we had both a wedding coordinator and a celebrant in one!

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Poppy to any couple looking for a celebrant who brings warmth, professionalism, and a personal touch to their special day.
