Celebrant - Gail Northwood Creative Wedding Ceremonies
Heartfelt Funeral Services
MC for all occassions since 2018 Hi! Photography is also a passion! Three are mine and four are his.

I've been based in Auckland since 1994, having spent my early years in the Far North of Aotearoa. I am of Te Aupouri descent, with a whole lot of New Zealand European thrown in. I trained in voice and dance from a young age, and have enjoyed involvement in the Performing Arts throughout my life. I'm married to the wonderful Alex and together, we have seven cool kids. We love a good hang with them

all, their partners and our growing brood of mokopuna. When crafting a personalised wedding ceremony, authentic creativity and fun are my vibe! As either celebrant, MC or both, I might travel when tempted, by great loves and good times. I hold a Diploma in Celebrant Studies from The Celebrant School [2016] and a Diploma in Performing Arts from Manukau Institute of Technology [2013]

I'm a Member of Celebrants Aotearoa. My husband Alex is a songwriter/musician, and sometimes he's available to play at local wedding ceremonies or funerals, where I officiate. You can find him at https://www.instagram.com/ultra_humble/

Please contact me for more information including fees. Warm Regards, Gail

There was no way of knowing which way it would go, but the sun sparkled through the trees, right on cue for my couple this afternoon 🌞

With a backdrop of the wee waterfall behind us and the neat vibe brought by , it was as if the stormy week just gone, never was ☔

The team working with rich reds, elegant blacks & white for Sundays wedding

It was great to meet them, enjoy their skilled artistry, and know I'll be seeing them again soon!

We'll be working together on Saturday. Same venue, different blooms & another happy couple will be saying 'I do.'

If you're heading to Fiji for a wedding, The Ideal bed and Breakfast is a great spot in Nadi!

Ideal for transitional stays, before or after the event & run by my hubby's family, I'd stay there all week!

Thanks for looking after overnight whanau. I'll be seeing you next time! 🏝️🥭🧡

My lovely bride had her dad fly in from overseas for her wedding day. She included him in her own way, as a witness to her marriage.

He speaks no English, but that couldn't stop us! We had a translator present, among my couples other guests, and so they were free to become husband and wife.

Such sweeties, and such a lovely venue, Onslow ~ M & V 10.8.25 🧡

Hi. I've been based in Central Auckland since 1994, having spent my early years in the Far North of Aotearoa. I'm of Te Aupouri Iwi descent, with a whole lot of New Zealand European thrown in.

I trained in voice and dance from a young age, and have enjoyed involvement in the Performing Arts throughout my life.

Photography is also a passion!

I'm married to the wonderful Alex and together, we have seven cool kids. No, I did not birth them all! Four are his and three are mine. We enjoy our growing brood of mokopuna.

When crafting a personalised wedding ceremony, authentic creativity and fun are my vibe! As either celebrant, MC or both, I might travel when tempted, by great loves and good times.

However, if you're here because you've lost someone close to you, please know that I also offer empathetic support, and heartfelt funeral services.

I hold a Diploma in Celebrant Studies from The Celebrant School, Auckland and a Diploma in Performing Arts from Manukau Institute of Technology, Auckland.

Please contact me for more information, including fees.

Warm Regards, Gail

This was a gorgeous wedding at a special venue, where offers it's couples an intimate wee outdoor 'chapel' space among our native trees 🌿

Photographer had her work cutout, attempting a clear shot of 'the kiss' as I busily got in the way. My sole purpose as drips began to drop, had suddenly become saving the all important paperwork!! 🌧️☔

It always delights me to see how, no matter what, love prevails as it did on this occasion. My couples joy was evident as they became husband & wife 👩‍❤️‍👨

Alongside officiating their marriage, I had the privilege of being MC for them as celebrations rolled out, on the wonderful covered deck while summer rain gently fell across the glorious vistas. Pure magic 💐
