Ko Callum Neil toku ingoa

Tēnā koe. Ko Callum Neil toku ingoa. Ko Ingarangi, ko Kōtirana te whakapaparanga mai, engari ko Kirikiriroa te whenua tupu. Ko te whanganui-a-tara te kāinga, kei Waiwhetu au e noho ana. Tēnā koe.

I was born and raised in Hamilton, but I moved to Wellington to study and have stuck around ever since. I’m blessed with a beautiful family - my partner Frankie and our young son Albert, who keeps us busy!

Full time, I’m a project manager and IT advisor, which has helped me develop my skills in organisation and paying attention to detail. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, hiking in our beautiful native forest, and I spend a decent chunk of time doing crosswords.

My approach to a ceremony
received_988635523334666


I'll work with you to craft a ceremony that fits you as a couple and sets the tone for the day - whether it's all about love, your special connection, your family and friends, or just having a big party.

I’ll make sure the ceremony runs smoothly - that everyone is in the right place at the right time, that we fulfil the legal obligations of a marriage, and that you’re able to relax and enjoy your special day.

I love watching families come together, couples exchanging vows, and then revelling in a night well-deserved. The joy of a wedding day is like no other, and I feel incredibly fortunate whenever I’m a small part of it.

Callum was an incredible celebrant who made our wedding fun, personal, and stress-free. He nailed the perfect balance of professionalism and personality, creating a ceremony that was uniquely us—so much so that even our venue host said it was the most fun and unique wedding they’d ever seen!

We found Callum very good with details, and nothing was too much trouble. He made our day so special and fun. I would recommend him to anyone.
