Your day, your way
Congratulations on your engagement. Planning a wedding is exciting, and I’d love to help make your ceremony exactly how you’ve dreamed it. Whether you’re planning a big celebration, an elopement, a smaller gathering, or a home wedding, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and completely you.
Your Love Story, Your Ceremony
Every love story is unique, and your ceremony should reflect that. I take the time to really get to know you as a couple and create a ceremony that is all about your journey, your values, and your personalities.
Here to Support You
Weddings can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m just a call, email, or message away, ready to answer questions, offer advice, or just help things feel a little easier.
Ceremonies That Work for You
Your dream ceremony shouldn’t stretch your budget. I work with couples to create fabulous, memorable ceremonies that suit both your style and your bank accounts.
Creating Lasting Memories
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I’m here to make sure it’s unforgettable. From personal vows to special touches, I’ll help you create moments that you’ll treasure forever.
Thank you for stopping by. I’d love to hear about your plans and chat about how we can create a ceremony for your special day. Reach out anytime, I can’t wait to celebrate your love with you.

Every love story is unique, and your wedding ceremony should be too. I believe your wedding should reflect you as a couple - your journey, your personalities, and the love you share. It’s a real joy and privilege to be part of the day when two people commit to a lifetime together.
Love is love, and I welcome all couples to get in touch.
I’ll take care of the tricky stuff - the legal and administrative bits, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
While I’m based in Auckland, I’m happy to travel near and far for your celebration. No travel fees for Auckland weddings and some out of town ones as well - please, just ask the question.
Your wedding day, your way. Let’s make it wonderful and completely about you both.
We usually begin with an online meeting, though I’m happy to meet in person if that works better for you. During this first chat, we’ll talk about you and your wedding vision, vibe, and any ideas you have for your day.
If you feel I’m the right celebrant for you, I’ll send a detailed questionnaire for you to work through together. Write as much as you can - this helps me know you and your story, values, and any special touches you’d like included, such as rituals, readings, music, or personal elements that make your ceremony uniquely yours. Once I receive your completed questionnaire, I write the first draft of your ceremony script and share it with you. We then work together to make any changes until it feels just right.
I can also help you write your own vows if you’d like, or create them for you, whatever feels most comfortable. I’ll help you through the legal requirements and paperwork, and on the day, I’ll lead your ceremony, letting you focus on enjoying every moment with your loved ones.
Hi, I’m Petrina, a celebrant based in Auckland. I share my home with my wonderful husband and our Guccicat.
I love travelling, creating art, dog walks with friend and catch-ups with family and friends. I’m happiest celebrating life’s special moments, whether it’s a family gathering, or simply a day with those I love.
When I twisted the arms of those close to me (gently, of course), they said I’m warm, creative, and enthusiastic - basically someone who loves connecting with people and sprinkling a little sparkle wherever I go.
I’d love to help make your wedding day truly special. You can find me on Instagram @nzcelebrant_petrina_hibben let’s chat about your plans!
One of my favourite parts of being a celebrant is getting to know couples and hearing what makes their love story special. I love helping bring your story to life so your wedding feels completely you. When I’m your celebrant, your ceremony will be personal and full of love - and lots of smiles along the way.
