Your perfect day
I’ve collaborated with some of my favourite wedding people to bring you the perfect intimate sustainable wedding. Pricing starts at $3,990 for our introductory package for up to 10 people.
Every Eco Wed celebration includes:
Plus bubbles, non alcoholic drinks, confetti, glasses, and cake plates if you need them!
EcoWed will set up the space for you, create a warm and special vibe and be ready to welcome you and your loved ones.
All you need to do is pick your venue, and if you wish, add some of our optional extras.
Pick a venue
Included in your Eco Wed package is one of our stunning Auckland venue partners! Take a look and pick the one you like the most.
Your package allows two hours for your Eco Wed celebration and venue access for that time. Also included are the wonderful ceremony photos, an after ceremony photo shoot, group photos and time for bubbly and socialising.
Just 10 people (or up to 30 at our Little Wilderness venue) means I can provide a stunning venue within the Auckland Region: Meaning, less travel for you and your guests, fewer car emissions, and more support for local businesses.
Eco Wed weddings are held Monday to Thursday and off peak, reducing your costs even more.
If you’re interested in Eco Wed with more guests, please ask Kerry for more information. OR take a look at our Little Wilderness package below for an inclusive 3 hours celebration or get in touch for a quote.
If you are looking for my celebrant services only, this is located under Celebrant Kerry.

Thank you for considering an eco friendly wedding. It’s an honour to help you create your beautiful, intimate and stress free wedding with the planet in mind.

I am outgoing, friendly, warm and caring, offering you the compassion and love to create a ceremony just right for you. But it’s so much more than just your ceremony, because the atmosphere and vibe at your wedding is important too. Fun on your wedding day is absolutely essential - so we will be sure to include lots of laughter.I look forward to working together to ensure your Eco wedding is right for you as a couple.

Your photographer
Hi, I’m Lara
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, I believe the vibrant culture of my motherland has fostered my yearning for colour and connection in all I do. I am inspired and intrigued by diversity, ethnic food, upbeat music, art and design and peoples unique stories! I am now a proud Kiwi and feel truly blessed to be able to call Aotearoa my home!
With a candid, documentary style, I approach each new couple or family with an open mind and fresh eyes. I aim to tell their story in an honest and authentic way that reflects their personalities.
To me, a marriage is about connection, commitment and celebration, all of which can be honoured in an intimate, environmentally friendly way. I am privileged to be part of Eco Wed and spreading the concept of more LOVE, less STUFF!
