About Brenda Chapman Celebrant
Born in Canada, I have lived in New Zealand since 1986 – I’m truly both Kiwi and Canadian!
I became a celebrant in November 2020 to officiate at the wedding ceremony for my only son and his Argentinian fiancée in February 2021, on the beach in Mahia, Hawke’s Bay. It was a genuine privilege to be able to do this for two special people. They are soulmates.
The ceremony was translated throughout, which created its own unique, bicultural aspect. Due to COVID, Mari’s family were unable to attend. I worked with a translator before the wedding to ensure that the ceremony would be seamless. The ceremony was also filmed so that it could be sent to the family in Argentina, and also to friends around the world. (We couldn’t livestream due to the remote location.) It was important to acknowledge extended family and make it a memorable virtual experience for them too.
As an extrovert, I enjoy people and helping them make special occasions memorable. Listening to my clients is a key component to the success of ceremonies. My confident public speaking, event management experience combined with a sense of humour, helps to create a relaxed, happy atmosphere.
My career has been in Marketing (at an executive level in New Zealand for over 30 years). I have enjoyed supporting and volunteering in many community organisations. All of these experiences enhance my abilities to create and support special occasions for my clients.
I have lived in Hawke’s Bay for over 30 years, and moved to Auckland in 2020. I am happy to undertake ceremonies in both regions at no extra charge.
My personal time sees me active outside – paddle boarding, walking and exploring New Zealand with my partner, Dave. My son and daughter are both married and I enjoy spending time with my extended family.
I studied Celebrancy at The Celebrant School. By New Zealand law, your celebrant must be appointed by the Department of Internal Affairs (Births, Deaths and Marriages). You can choose your location and style of ceremony. I can help you – we are pretty much limited only by your imagination!
Most significantly, I will listen and create a ceremony unique to you and your love story.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As a couple, we were keen to renew our vows for our 22nd wedding anniversary. Brenda met with us a couple of times to get to know our love story and what was important for us to celebrate. She created a unique and personal ceremony for us to enjoy with our family and friends. We commemorated our many happy years of marriage and created another happy memory.

Her professionalism was evident as all the details were sorted so the wedding ceremony flowed seamlessly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brenda did an incredible job of personalising our ceremony and sharing our love story in a humourous and unique way. She designed our ceremony based off an interview/relaxed conversation over coffee when we met with her at her home in Auckland and surprised us with an engaging, beautiful ceremony. We highly recommend Brenda if you are looking for a celebrant who will genuinely be excited to learn about your love story and capturing that in the ceremony.
