In New Zealand there are two types of marriage celebrants: religious (affiliated with a particular religion) and civil (no religious affiliations) and New Zealand law requires that for a wedding ceremony to be legal, it must be conducted by a registered civil or religious marriage celebrant. Your New Zealand wedding coordinator will be able to organise your choice of either a religious or civil marriage celebrant. Marriage celebrants may conduct weddings anywhere in New Zealand, and while some religious marriage celebrants will conduct ceremonies outside the church most are not permitted to do so. A Registrar of Marriages can also conduct your ceremony at a Marriage Registry Office, and your New Zealand wedding coordinator will be able to arrange whichever type of marriage ceremony fits your beliefs and preferences.
