Let's make your wedding day a memory you'll treasure forever.

Wedding Celebrant Services Debra Offers:

Crafting your ceremony

Every ceremony starts with a conversation. Debra meets with you to talk through your ideas, the tone you want and how you picture the day. From there she writes a personal ceremony script, weaving in your chosen readings, music and rituals, and can help you write or polish your vows.

Taking care of the legal side

As a registered marriage celebrant, Debra makes sure your marriage is official. She guides you through the legal requirements, sees that the paperwork and declarations are completed correctly on the day, and lodges the signed documents with Births, Deaths and Marriages afterwards.

Leading the day

On the day, Debra welcomes your guests and leads you through the ceremony, from your vows and the exchange of rings to the signing. She keeps everything running smoothly and on time, so you can stay in the moment.

Auckland Marriage Celebrant

Your story, told well.

Debra Houghton is a registered marriage celebrant who writes and leads wedding ceremonies that sound like the two people standing at the front, not like a script that’s been read a hundred times before.

It starts with a conversation about who you are and how you want the day to feel. From there, Debra shapes a ceremony around you, as formal or as relaxed as you like, and guides you through each step along the way.

About Debra

Based in Auckland, Debra loves bringing people together on one of the most special days of their lives. For her, a ceremony is about connection: between two people, and between everyone who has come to celebrate them.

As a registered marriage celebrant, she also takes care of the legal side of your ceremony, so your marriage is official and you can simply enjoy the day.
