WELCOME
Hello and welcome – I’m Sandy Taylor, a professional celebrant and experienced MC based in beautiful Tauranga, proudly serving the Bay of Plenty and beyond. I specialise in creating ceremonies that are not only meaningful and memorable, but delivered with the perfect blend of sincerity, warmth, and just the right touch of humour (when appropriate, of course!).
Whether you’re tying the knot, celebrating a life well-lived, or marking a special milestone, I bring a calm, respectful presence, a listening ear, and a knack for storytelling that captures the heart of every occasion. I take my role seriously — but not too seriously. Life is full of emotion, and I believe ceremonies should reflect the real you — with heart, with honesty, and yes, a few laughs when the moment calls for it.
Let’s create a ceremony that feels just right — professional, personal, and perfectly you.

She did an amazing job for us, with her eye for detail, humility and sense of humour.
