Hand-Picked Celebrants Crafting Unforgettable Memories for Weddings in Auckland
Norma Schwenke Cortes
I like to add humour and fun and I like to make this day as stress free as possible for you and your partner.
I am a down-to-earth wedding celebrant based in Onehunga, I specialise in small, intimate weddings and I am available to couples who are looking for a low-key, personable celebrant who offers a zero-stress approach.
Your Celebrant, Unscripted
- Coffee order?
Double shot please, if it is Colombian: better.
- Favourite ceremony moment ever?
My first celebration was in a church with a minister who did not renew his license, so I started the wedding, and he finished it.
- Most unusual/funny request from a couple?
Perform the wedding in South Island and I live in Auckland (I traveled by plane, a driver waited for me at airport and left me in a little port, then I crossed to an island by water taxi and finally arrived in another car to the ceremony)
- What’s playing as the couple walks down the aisle in your dream wedding?
A romantic Spanish song
- If you were a wedding cake, what flavour would you be?
Red velvet because I love the color red.
- What’s your celebrant superpower?
I am a Spanish speaker and my smile, haha.
- What wedding cliché do you secretly love?
When the bride's father or mother gives her to her future husband/wife.
- Dream celebrity couple you’d love to marry?
Jacinda Arden and Clarke Gayford.
Why I become a celebrant?
— A Latin American couple asked me if I knew a celebrant who spoke Spanish. I did not, so they gave me a nice idea to do it for myself.
— What’s my ceremony style? totally personalized, including the story of the couple and some humor.
— Three words that best describe my vibe: Unique, happy and authentic.
— A random fun fact about me: I am from Chile, I live in Auckland and I celebrated weddings in South Island, Tauranga, Coromandel, Hamilton and Auckland. (in summary, I love traveling)
— What do I love most about weddings? Everything (preparation, vibes, music, love and food)
Our wedding at the Sky Tower was a truly wonderful and emotional experience. Norma conducted the ceremony with so much warmth and professionalism, making it even more special. We loved that she delivered it in both English and Spanish, which allowed all our guests to enjoy and feel part of the moment. We wholeheartedly recommend her! ✨✨✨
