Craig Lord
Auckland based but very happy to travel.
As a professional broadcaster and event MC I have the ability to understand what people want, this allows me to tailor my services to suit. I believe the role of a celebrant is not to be the centre of attention, yet ensure that the partners and their guests laugh, smile and have fun.
Whatever the location or style of wedding, I am happy to work with it. That extends to themed weddings as well – I think I would look great as a Wookie or Stormtrooper (although I’d probably suit Ewok better…..).
