Crafting Love Stories, One Ceremony at a Time
I’m thrilled to help you bring your unique love story to life through personalized ceremonies.
I’m Suzanne Panter, your dedicated Kapiti Celebrant. I believe every love story deserves a celebration that reflects who you are. With my experience and passion, I work closely with couples to create memorable ceremonies—whether it’s a traditional wedding, a unique vow renewal, or a heartfelt naming ceremony. Let’s make your special day filled with love, joy, and laughter!
Welcome to My World of Love, Laughter, and Joy!
Hello and Kia ora! I’m Suzanne Panter, your Kapiti Celebrant, and I’m here to help make your special day unforgettable. As a qualified celebrant and proud member of the Celebrants Association of New Zealand (VCANZ), my mission is to fill your celebration with happiness, warmth, and all the joy your love deserves.
No matter if you’re dreaming of a simple, elaborate, traditional, or uniquely fun ceremony, I’m excited to co-create the celebration you’ve always envisioned. Your love story is uniquely yours, and I’m here to ensure it shines through in every detail of your day.
Originally from the UK, I made the beautiful Kapiti Coast my home in 2008 with my husband Scott and our youngest son. With over 30 years of marriage to Scott, I understand the value of love and commitment deeply. Becoming a New Zealand citizen in 2016 fueled my desire to give back to the community that welcomed me so warmly. It’s truly a privilege to guide couples through one of the most significant days of their lives and create lasting memories together.
Every ceremony I craft is infused with love, laughter, and joy—whether it’s a wedding, a baby naming, or a cherished vow renewal. Having renewed my own vows with Scott after 25 years, I know how meaningful these moments can be.
I’m not just a celebrant; I’m your partner in this journey. With my attentive listening, good humor, and non-judgmental approach, I’ll help you navigate the planning process, offering ideas and suggestions for vows and readings that reflect your unique love story.
Thank you for considering me as your celebrant. If you feel a connection and think I could be the perfect fit for your special day, I’d love to chat! Let’s create something magical together.
Warmest wishes,
Suzanne Panter, Cert.Cel Sts
