Whether it’s a wedding or funeral,
I create ceremonies that honour and reflect all that is important to you.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know people, it’s what helps me tailor services that are unique and personal.

Creating Memorable Ceremonies on the Kapiti Coast

Sometimes it’s hard to know just where to start and that’s where I come in, to help you create a ceremony that is unique for you.

With years of public speaking experience, I like to bring a unique blend of humor, thoughtfulness, and heartfelt connection to every ceremony.

My goal is to create a space where people can feel at ease, fully engage with their emotions, and celebrate in a way that truly reflects who they are.

Together, we’ll craft a memorable ceremony that resonates with everyone.

About Me

As well as being a celebrant, I bring several years of experience as a wedding photographer and event organiser, having worked on weddings, funerals, and many private and corporate events. This has given me complete appreciation for the importance of attention to fine detail, clear communication and effective expectation management.

Based on the Kapiti Coast at Peka Peka Beach, I also offer a beautiful setting for elopements. From accommodation, witnesses, and photography through to flowers, cake and picnic hampers, I can organise everything you need for a seamless and memorable experience. 

“If you want a celebrant that will go the extra mile and set the tone for a wonderful day, then Fran is the person for you.”

Mr and Mrs Golding

“Fran was our amazing wedding celebrant; we couldn’t have picked a more perfect person to marry us. We organised our wedding in 3 weeks as it was a surprise at our engagement party. Fran helped us organise everything we needed and more, we honestly can’t thank her enough for making our day as perfect as it was. We highly recommend Fran especially if you are planning a surprise wedding.”

Mr & Mrs Enoch

“To anyone who reads this, please get in touch with Fran. She has a heart of gold, she balances elegance and professionalism on another level."

Mrs Kate Bresolin

“Fran is highly recommended. Our ceremony was perfect, light, funny and fitted us both to a T. I could not recommend Fran enough. I am a nervous public speaker, Fran made sure I was at ease reading my vows!"

Mrs Katie Makower

“Fran was amazing. She had her work cut out for her getting two introverts married but she absolutely nailed it, made us feel so comfortable and we had compliments about her all day!"

Mrs Annabel Dalley
