​I’m Ingrid Hennessey, a registered marriage celebrant based in Tauranga in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.

​My professional background is in People & Culture and Communications - a happy combination that translates nicely into celebrant life. I’m fascinated by people, a weaver of words, and genuinely enjoy creating ceremonies that reflect the people at the heart of them.

I’m a member of Celebrants Aotearoa and enjoy ongoing professional development through The Celebrant School.

I’ve been married to Peter since 1999 (last century!) and we have two daughters whose transformation into amazing young women we watch with pride and delight - and the occasional eye roll.

I have an optimistic outlook, a sense of fun and adventure, and a healthy curiosity about people and their stories.

I’d be honoured to help you create a wedding ceremony that is warm, meaningful and unquestionably you.
