Fiona Ward - NZ Marriage Celebrant
Hi there, I’m Fiona, your friendly neighbourhood marriage celebrant!
Hailing from the picturesque town of Riverton nestled at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island. Growing up with three older brothers, my childhood was filled with outdoor adventures and a love for sports, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature and the importance of connection.
I embarked on my first overseas experience at the age of 24 and I’ve traversed numerous countries since then. My love for travel isn't just about exploring new places; it's about immersing myself in diverse cultures, savouring delicious cuisines, and, most importantly, understanding the stories and experiences that shape people's lives.
With a background in primary education and personal training, I have a passion for people. I thoroughly enjoy helping people reach their fitness goals, creating engaging lessons for students and crafting personalised wedding ceremonies.
Becoming a registered marriage celebrant in New Zealand in early 2023 was a natural progression for me. I get to combine my love for people with my desire to create meaningful experiences. Queenstown's vibrant wedding industry provides the perfect backdrop for me to thrive in, surrounded by like-minded individuals committed to making every couple's special day as perfect as can be.
I am genuinely interested in each couple's unique love story. From the first meeting to the final "I do," I will take the time to listen, understand, and weave together the threads of your journey into a ceremony that reflects your personalities, values, and dreams. For me, being a part of your special day isn't just a job—it's a privilege and a joy.
So, if you're looking for more than just a cookie-cutter wedding ceremony, let me be your guide. Let me transform your wedding day into a magical moment you'll cherish forever.
