So, you’re wanting a straight-forward Registry Ceremony at your home or a local spot, with set vows and a script? Done!

As authorised VCANZ Registry Celebrants, here are the Christchurch, North Canterbury and South Canterbury celebrants who can do this for you. All you need to do is organise two witnesses, your marriage licence ($150), and it will cost just $90 to have one of these members as your celebrant. It couldn’t be more simple.
