Alice Viles Celebrant

Hey, congratulations on your engagement!

I specialise in elopements and small weddings throughout the Magnificent Manawatu and Rustic Rangitikei. Be that at a stunning destination or in your backyard. I specialise in small, simple but significant ceremonies with finesse.

The ceremonies I offer are:

  • My registry-style ceremony - 3 options
    • My registry wedding [add: write your own vows and include a poem/reading]
    • My registry wedding with an enactment
    • My registry wedding with personalised wording [maximum 200 words]
  • Personalised ceremony
  • Emcee services

NB: Your ceremony can be either secular [non-religious] or religious wording or a mixture.

Small gives you so much flexibility including the time of day, the day of the week and the style of the ceremony. The Manawatu and Rangitikei offer numerous options to couples wanting small ceremonies in a unique location. There are venues or picturesque locations in whimsical bush, on a rugged river, amazing boulders, or white cliffs and stunning backdrops in grand gardens, glamping, on top of the rangers, at a lodge or in your own backyard.

Elopements and small weddings reduce stress, planning and organising. Making your significant day intimate rather than a big production.

I am with you from the initial enquiry, assisting with the planning, choreographing, coordination, and officiating of your wedding.

“Jesse and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for your role in our wedding. You truly were the perfect choice for us, and working with you was a joy. Your stage presence and your words were simply phenomenal. Your flexibility with regards to the weather was also very helpful, and you provided so many options when it came to the ceremony which allowed us to tailor it just for us. Thank you again, from our hearts to yours!” - Jesse & Tyrone
