AnneMarie Tangney - WeddingsAroha Auckland based Marriage Celebrant

Kia Ora, I'm AnneMarie Tangney, a wedding celebrant based in Auckland offering a range of ceremonies from short and sweet to longer personalised wedding ceremonies.

Being a marriage celebrant is something I cherish, and believe that every couple in love deserves a beautiful, memorable marriage ceremony.

My philosophy 💝

I firmly believe that money should never be a barrier between 2 people in love getting married. My goal is to provide affordable celebrant services without compromising on quality, care or professionalism. Your ceremony should feel priceless - not financially stressed!

Personalised, warm & family focussed 🌻

I am an experienced celebrant and proud to have received many heartfelt testimonials from couples who often describe my genuine warmth and my reassurance presence. 

For personalised ceremonies, I take the time to truly get a sense of your love journey, so your ceremony feels authentic, relaxed and truly yours.

Inclusive and respectful 🌈🫂

I deeply value inclusiveness, diversity and tolerance, and I am proudly LGBTQ+ friendly. Love is love - and every couple deserves to feel safe, respected and celebrated.

I warmly welcome and celebrate couples of all faiths, cultures and backgrounds. I am a Christian and happy to incorporate all faith elements into your ceremony. 

Flexible and Easy Planning 🎉

I am available to provide celebrant services anywhere in Auckland and anywhere in New Zealand if my timetable allows this. 

Most ceremonies can be easily arranged via email making the planning process simple and stress-free. 

During the week I work part-time as a health professional (Monday-Thursday daytime hours), which means I am available to officiate weddings on weekday evenings, Fridays and weekends. Occasionally I may be able to take a day off work to be available at other times.

Please note that additional travel costs may apply for locations outside my local area (Mt Eden, Auckland)

Marriage licence Guidance 🖥️

All couples must apply for a marriage licence before their ceremony (cost is $150). The licence takes 3 working days to be processed and is valid for 3 months from when you apply for it. 

As your celebrant I will give you simple instructions to guide you through the process and answer any questions to ensure everything is sorted smoothly and on time. 

Photo ID 📷

All couples must be able to produce photo ID such as a passport front page or driver's licence so I can check legal names and dates of birth and your identity.

2 Witnesses are required 👥

All marriages in NZ require 2 witnesses to be present to hear the legal components of the ceremony and sign documentation. They must understand the language spoken during the ceremony (or have a translator available who can interpret for them).
