Celebrant
A ceremony full of rituals
If you already have your venue organised and need a qualified, experienced and professional officiant then look no further. Vanessa has performed many weddings both here at Hewitts Homestead and in many locations around the wider Manawatu. She provides bespoke wedding services, from a simple ceremony (Registry style) to a fully personalised ceremony starting from scratch. Using rituals to enhance ceremonies is her favourite. For example using crystals, ribbons for hand fasting, or adding sand ceremonies. Having wonderful revues from clients she is a popular choice in the Manawatu.

Book a session for a friend or loved one and help them on their road to de-stressing. We also hold wellbeing workshops, contact us to sign up for the next one.

Once at the end of Hewitts Road, drive slowly on to Jareha Farm and take the drive to the right, when the road forks at the top of the hill (approx 100m) go left towards the metal gates. The homestead is behind the trees.
