Not just any “I do”

Written By Kim Manunui

When you say ‘I Do’ – which, in a marriage ceremony is always the right answer by the way – it’s good to know that your celebrant is professional, competent and will create and deliver the best possible ceremony that is uniquely yours. 

 So, when you start looking for a celebrant with the right fit you need to know that they’re capable, creative, trustworthy, reliable and professional.  Social media recommendations and reviews only go so far, and really you need to go further.

 Engaging a celebrant who is a member of the Celebrants Association of New Zealand (CANZ) www.celebrantsassociation.co.nz gives you significant assurance that you’re employing someone from a professional body; a celebrant who has passed the association’s code of standards and ethics test and a person who, more often than not, is committed to ongoing professional development with a strong network of fellow celebrants to call on if needed.

 As well, CANZ has introduced a celebrant validation process known as VCANZ, which is a structured recognition of celebrant training, experience and professional development based on their body of knowledge. This gives couples looking for a celebrant, as well as the public and allied sectors, additional certainty and greater comfort that a CANZ celebrant, especially ones with VCANZ accreditation, meet the professional standards of competency required for celebrant work. It’s another investment and commitment to a career that celebrants around the country enormous satisfaction and pleasure. 

 So, wherever you are in New Zealand you will find a CANZ celebrant – we’re a nationwide professional body with more than 860 members. Celebrants are passionate about ceremony and are people who love their work.  A CANZ celebrant will help you define your special day beyond the exchange of rings.   Take a look at www.celebrantsassociation.co.nz to find out more.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
