About Me / Ko Wai Au
Taika Brooks - Registered Wedding Celebrant
Kia ora, he uri ahau no Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, Ngāi Tahu hoki.
Māori led celebrant services grounded by tikanga Māori values, servicing areas in the Whanganui, Manawatū Hāwera & Taranaki regions with the ability to travel further if necessary. I am registered as a standard and civil union celebrant.
I have officiated on mountains, at lakes, in churches, at wineries, in couples backyards and everywhere in between, and can't wait to see how we can create a unique & memorable ceremony together.


Services
There is a lot of work involved in preparing a wedding and the last thing you want to do is worry about what your saying and preparing yourself for your ceremony.
As a specialised Māori celebrant I am able to support you through your wedding journey, not only piecing together memorable ceremony scripts, vows and committals, but supporting you both along the way, think of me as your personal wedding assistant.
Whether a full blown wedding in the hills or a small intimate ceremony in your family home, I am here to make memories that last a lifetime.

Crafting
Crafting ceremonies that blend tradition and modernity, reflecting your unique love story. Collaborative planning and kōrero to ensure your ceremony is a true reflection of your values and heritage. Offering support in creating a meaningful and culturally rich experience.
Celebrating your aroha in a way that resonates with your whakapapa.
Embracing a whānau-inclusive approach, ensuring your special day is surrounded by love and unity.
