About Me

After planning over 150 weddings over 25 years for hotels and venues I decided I wanted to be at the "pointy end” and really share in a couples most important day of their lives by becoming a Celebrant.

  • I am a born and bred Cantabrian, however I have spent the past 23 years in Queenstown working and bringing up a wonderful family.

  • I have now relocated back to the beautiful garden city and I love to be close to my Christchurch family and friends.

  • I am so amazed at the incredible growth this city is embracing and the passion for creating a new vibrant city for everyone.

  • My goal is to co- create the perfect, personalised ceremony both of you.

Michelle Dent Celebrant NZ

I am a fun, vibrant human with Italian heritage and possess a wonderful friendly, humorous and intuitive nature. 

I have travelled extensively and have a great understanding of the cultures and traditions of many countries including a healthy obsession for travel.

I have been happily married to Gary for 17 years and am proud of my big blended family, a daughter, 3 stepsons, 2 stepdaughters and 3 adorable grandchildren! 

I love mindful pastimes such as yoga, walking, movies and enjoying the natural environment, especially near home in my Northern Canterbury Beach community.

I have a cute little dog who believes she is a princess (and I encourage this) and I welcome all four legged family members to my ceremonies!
