An elopement is about focusing on what matters most – your commitment to one another. Free from the expectations and pressures that can come with larger weddings, an elopement allows you to celebrate your love in a way that feels authentic, intimate, and uniquely yours. As a professional celebrant based in Matarangi, I create personalised elopement ceremonies for couples throughout the North Eastern Coromandel Peninsula.
Whether you dream of exchanging vows on a secluded beach in Matarangi, standing together above the stunning coastline near Whitianga, embracing the natural beauty of Opito Bay, or saying “I do” in a quiet location near Whangapoua , I will help create a ceremony that reflects your relationship and your vision for the day.
Every couple’s journey is different, which is why every elopement ceremony is individually crafted. I take the time to understand your story, your values, and what makes your relationship special. From personalised vows and symbolic rituals to meaningful readings and special touches, your ceremony will be designed around the moments that matter most to you.
The Eastern Coromandel Peninsula is one of New Zealand’s most sought-after elopement destinations, offering breathtaking scenery, pristine beaches, native bush, and spectacular coastal views. Locations throughout Matarangi, Whitianga, Whangapoua, Opito Bay, Otama, Kuaotunu and Coromandel Town provide beautiful settings for couples seeking a romantic and memorable elopement experience.
Planning an elopement can be refreshingly simple, but there are still important details to consider. I can guide you through the process, helping with legal requirements, ceremony wording, location considerations, and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day. A calm and supportive approach allows you to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
Whether you are planning a private ceremony for just the two of you, a small gathering with close family and friends, or a destination elopement in one of the Coromandel’s stunning locations, I am committed to creating a heartfelt ceremony that celebrates your love and the beginning of your next chapter together.
If you are looking for an elopement celebrant in the Eastern Coromandel Peninsula, I would be delighted to help create a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my clients’ elopment ceremony come to life. Here’s what they have to say about their experience working with me.
We had the most wonderful experience with Maree for our elopement ceremony at home. From the very beginning she was warm, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel relaxed and stress-free.
Maree created a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and perfectly suited to us. It was intimate, heartfelt, and exactly what we wanted.
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would highly recommend Maree.
Thank you again for helping make our day so memorable!

An elopement is an intimate wedding ceremony that focuses on the couple and their commitment to each other. It can be as simple as just the two of you or include a small group of family and close friends.
Absolutely. Your elopement ceremony can be tailored to reflect your relationship, values, and personality. You may choose to include personal vows, readings, special rituals, or meaningful locations that make the day uniquely yours.
Elopements can be held almost anywhere, including beaches, gardens, parks, private properties, scenic lookouts, or other locations that are special to you. The Coromandel offers many stunning locations for intimate ceremonies.
Yes. Under New Zealand law, you must have two witnesses present during your marriage ceremony. If needed, arrangements can often be made to help provide witnesses for your special day.
Elopements generally require less planning than larger weddings, but there are still important details to consider, such as obtaining your marriage licence, choosing a location, and planning the ceremony. I can guide you through the process to make it simple and stress-free.
