Motueka celebrant offers secular wedding services

February 2nd, 2011

Motueka has a new marriage celebrant who is a member of the NZ Association of Rationalists and Humanists, and therefore specialises in non-religious weddings.

Lynda Hannah has been a celebrant for funerals for a decade and civil unions for five years and now has added weddings to her services. She operates Living Legacies, a business which was highly commended in the Commercial/Leadership category of last year's Nelson Tasman Environment Awards.

Living Legacies is a natural funeral company which has a sustainable, holistic and celebratory approach to life, death and funerals. In particular, it offers "natural burials", and a service of practical assistance and emotional support to families who are arranging natural, low-cost, family-directed funerals for their loved ones without employing a funeral director.

Now Lynda has been appointed a marriage celebrant for the NZ Association of Rationalists and Humanists, particularly to perform non-religious wedding ceremonies, of which she says there is increasing demand.

"I'm the only NZARH celebrant in the top of the South Island, and there are only a handful in the country," she says, so Motueka/Nelson is fortunate in having a specifically secular, registered celebrant in the community, which has never happened before.

"I specialise in creative, personalised, secular ceremonies, of any sort: weddings, civil unions, funerals, baby-namings, handfastings, you name it!"
