Dear Lissy
KIA ORA TEAM!
Firstly, congratulations!
If you're here, you're probably making plans to celebrate your relationship with a wedding or a vow renewal.
How exciting (but also a bit overwhelming! There's so much to do!)
What you'll find here is who I am as well as how and where I work, to figure out if I could be a good fit for the two of you and your celebrations.
To get started with a little side quest, this page tells you all about who I am because first priority has to be am I your people, will I get you and will you get me?
Dear Lissy Photography

Focus Photography, Kate Roberge, Nicole Gourley
What I want for all of my couples is that you KNOW your biggest consideration when deciding if I'm the celebrant for you is... are we okay with the fact that she knows all the words to Sir Mixalot's Baby Got Back and sings along in the car?
I am here for your celebration regardless of:
* Your sexuality
* Your gender identity, and how you choose to present that
* Your relationship structure
* Your age,
* The age gap between you and your partner,
* Whether you choose to live together or in separate countries,
* Your culture or the colour of your skin
* Even if you like Vegemite better than Marmite.
Celebrant Options
My first job as your celebrant is to listen to what’s important to you and guide you from there.
You get to decide what’s important to you - what a ceremony
that reflects the two of you feels like, what it includes and how personal it is to you.
That’s why I’ve created two different celebrant service options.
One is about telling your story, crafting a ceremony especially for the two of you.
The other gives you a quick turnaround option - a selection of ready made ceremonies and ceremony elements to choose from.
What do those options look like and what do they cost?
The Signature Blend $880
This is a ceremony written for and about you.
A personalised celebration woven from the story of your relationship, and how you want it to feel.
I promise I make your part in this easy as possible.
If you decide this is the options for you - I give you a little reading to do before our next meeting, when we talk through what you liked and didn’t like.
Everything from vibes to ceremony elements or specific phrases or paragraphs.
We talk about anything else you want to include in your ceremony - go on surprise me!
I get to ask my fun nosy questions (things like - how did you meet, what do you like to do together)
And then I write a ceremony for and about the two of you.
Included:
-
1 meeting to talk through your plans and get the info I need to write your bespoke ceremony.
-
The creation of your ceremony (I usually send it to you to check, but you can opt for a surprise!)
-
A rehearsal
-
Being your celebrant on your wedding day (as much as reading the words and signing the paperwork, I’m there to help you manage the big feelings and anxiety and really ENJOY your ceremony)
-
Use of my PA system during your ceremony
-
All travel within Alexandra/ Cromwell/ Clyde/ Roxburgh/ Omakau.
