Fun + Stressfree 💜 🌈 I am a hopeless romantic, and I have a passion for passion, passion for life and passion for people. I'm in my sixth year as a celebrant, and the ride has b

een better than I imagined! I am self-employed, working as a full-time celebrant, coach and wellbeing mentor. I love to write. I love to talk. I love to guide and support others. I have been a teacher, salon owner/hairdresser, and now in my perfect role as a celebrant. I have seen a lot, learnt a lot and know a lot about people, organisation, balance and life. I invest in myself and hold a Diploma in Celebrancy from the Celebrant School, and I am VCANZ registered for registry weddings in Timaru. I married Rob in April 2021, so I know first-hand how to plan a wedding and how stressful it can be. I can help in my role as a celebrant and even be your MC.

Jade has had the honour to lead many life celebrations and feels it is the highest privilege to be given. Working alongside families and with the deaths of loved ones in her life, she knows how it can be challenging to cope with sadness and grief and try to organise a funeral. She will come to you and hear your loved ones' life stories and craft a personalised service that represents who they are. It is a ceremony that captures their essence and has special meaning for family and friends, and a ceremony that is about them. Jade believes that funerals play a vital role to help us cope with our grief and creating a meaningful and relevant way to say goodbye.
