Bridget Paape Celebrant

So you are planning on getting married, well I am here to help you!

As your Wedding Celebrant, I believe that every ceremony is special and unique and also a privilege to be a part of.

It is your day and whatever you have in mind for your wedding ceremony I will be sensitive to your values, needs and wishes.

You will find me to be warm, approachable and friendly and I will guide you through your ceremony reflecting the love you share as a couple and helping you to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

I became a celebrant three years ago when numerous friends kept asking if I would officiate for them. Nothing like a bit of pressure!!! So I decided to take the plunge! I have loved every minute, and have realised what a privilege it is to be part of someone’s special day.

I consider myself an outgoing, cheerful and creative person, with excellent communication and organisational skills.

I will deliver a ceremony that is as unique as the two of you, with warmth, romance and humour.

Your day needs to reflect you both and what’s important.

I would be delighted to discuss your wedding ideas with you without obligation, so please call or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All the very best.

Testimonials

"I cannot recommend Bridget enough! She was amazing! Me and my now-wife made a last-minute decision to get married in NZ before hopping onto a cruise. We researched and found Bridget, who instantly caught our attention simply because she looked fun! And we were not wrong, Bridget was not only fun but amazingly accommodating, thoughtful, thorough and welcoming. With just a couple of phone calls, Bridget was able to set up our whole wedding, helping us through our application, picking a venue and making the whole thing possible. For the day, Bridget also organised a couple of fun witnesses for us, who we absolutely adored and a fantastic photographer. All this was followed by a nice celebration with bubbles as we had no other friends or family present, we are so grateful for Bridget going above and beyond for simply a couple of strangers." - Brittney and Brianna

Loved her sense of humour, nothing was a problem and put me at ease many times. Would highly recommend Bridget as a celebrant, now I’m lucky enough to call her a friend. Many thanks again xx." - Emily Sharplin-Blair
