Jackie Brown

Jackie Brown Celebrant is a wedding celebrancy service based in Tauranga, in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty, and available for ceremonies throughout the North Island, including Auckland, Rotorua and Hawke’s Bay. Jackie describes her approach as making weddings fun, personal and memorable, while helping couples celebrate the meaning of their commitment. She works with each couple to design a ceremony around their personalities, values and story, shaping how they met and fell in love into a connection shared with their guests.

Her services include writing and facilitating wedding ceremonies, offering examples of vows, readings and poetry, and helping couples create vows that feel honest and true to them. Couples can discuss the ceremony’s content and format with Jackie, who aims to guide the occasion naturally rather than simply read from a script. She is open to a wide range of settings, from beaches, boats and backyards to bush, chapels and other locations chosen by the couple.
