Malcolm Gapes Celebrant

About

I am an Waikato-based registered celebrant conducting Naming Ceremonies, Weddings, Funerals and all special occasions in between.

Story

If you have found this site, you are looking for someone to assist you with that special occasion in your life. Whether you are planning a simple family gathering or a community event, it is my honor and privilege to work with you, your family and friends.

As a certified Celebrant I am trained in the art of ceremony; open to all cultures, beliefs and ideas. Together, we will craft a ceremony that fits your occasion and honours your loved one.

I became a Celebrant because I believe that meaningful ritual and ceremony are a human right that every person is entitled to regardless of belief. Every person should be able to have a ceremony that is truly meaningful to them.

Some of the ceremonies I am happy to perform are Weddings, Naming Ceremonies, Funerals, Vowel Renewels, Blessings and Civil Unions

As an additional service, I also offer professionally printed Names and their Origins parchment scrolls. These make a special and personal gift on their own, or are a great addition to any Naming Ceremony, Wedding or other occasion.
