Johnelle Hosking

As an experienced MC and event coordinator with a background in Radio, attending weddings made me happy and a little disappointed...Seeing the quality of some celebrants and MCs who we're less than great made me think 'I can do way better myself'.

In 2023, I put my money where my mouth is and registered as an Independent Marriage Celebrant in New Zealand.

Now, less than 12 months in I've completed over 15 weddings and have plenty more booked in for the next 12+ months.

I pride myself in giving couples the best experience as they prepare for and experience their wedding day
