Ingrid Saxton :Â Wellington Celebrant
Hello and welcome to my website. I'm a Wellington based celebrant who loves working with people to create memorable, loving ceremonies for any special moment in life.
​
I'd love the opportunity to work with you to create a very special ceremony, whether its a wedding, elopement, vow renewal, welcoming your new baby into this world, or sadly a funeral service to say goodbye to someone you love.
​
These are often once in a lifetime events so every word spoken should come from your heart. Writing these down and saying them later may not be an easy task, that's where I can guide you to express your thoughts and feelings into something unique that reflects you and/or your loved one. Words are my passion - especially words of love.
​
Ceremonies we can create together include:
-
Weddings/Marriages
-
Elopements
-
Registry weddings
-
Vow Renewals
-
Civil Unions
-
Significant Birthdays
-
Baby Naming or Blessings
-
Funerals & Celebrations of Life
-
Memorials
Every significant moment in life is worth celebrating well. Let's meet up so we can discuss what and who you want to include in your ceremony to make it memorable for you and your guests.

https://www.google.com/search? was the celebrant for our wedding of around 100 people this year (Sep 2022). We knew when we met Ingrid that she was going to be great, however Ingrid exceeded our expectations. Ingrid went above and beyond for us to make sure our special day was as smooth as possible. Ingrid was so easy to get in contact with and really got to know us as a couple to ensure our ceremony was extra special. We can not thank you enough, and our guests are still commenting on how lovely our ceremony was. Highly recommended.

..... Ingrid's passion and patience for wanting to reflect and incorporate 'us' in our service was wonderful and she guided us through the whole process - including fool proof instructions for applying for our marriage license! She accommodated our requests and captured our love for each other so well. Her warmth towards love and marriage is infectious and regardless of our simplified wedding day we felt on top of the world - and that is not just because we were stood on a cliff top! The service that Ingrid wrote for us was perfect, creating smiles, tears, love and time for reflection as she delivered it without fault on the day. We cannot thank her enough for all her effort, time and kindness as she kept us company on our journey to being announced husband and wife. We recommend Ingrid wholeheartedly.

I would recommend Ingrid Saxton to anyone looking for a celebrant. She also acted as Master of Ceremonies at our wedding, a role she carried out with considerable grace and humour.
