AnneMarie Tangney - Auckland based marriage celebrant

Kia Ora, I'm AnneMarie Tangney, a wedding celebrant based in Auckland offering personalised, inclusive wedding ceremonies across the Auckland region. 

I'm honoured you're considering me to be part of one of the most meaningful days of your life. Being a marriage celebrant is something I cherish, and believe that every couple in love deserves a beautiful, memorable marriage ceremony.

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.

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:

• personalised attention to detail

• genuine warmth

• calm, reassuring presence

• ability to feel like "part of the family"

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

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.

Flexible and Easy Planning

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

I am available to provide celebrant services anywhere in New Zealand. 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. I'm very happy 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 show me photo ID such as a passport front page or driver's licence so I can check your legal name and date of birth, to ensure it matches the marriage licence.
