JAMES RETI
CELEBRANT
ABOUT JAMES RETI
After years of being the go-to MC and even officiant for friends' and family members’ weddings, I decided it was time to bring my passion for celebrating love to a wider audience. With a professional background as an international management consultant and a standout track record in facilitation, keynote speaking, and hosting, I’ve learned that the secret to a truly memorable day lies in the energy you bring to it. The feedback I hear time and again is that I have a way of making everyone feel welcome, engaged, and part of the moment.
MC, HYPE MAN
I understand when to dial up the energy and when to let a quieter moment take the spotlight. I’m here to make sure your wedding is as unique and authentic as the two of you-one that will have your guests talking long after the last toast. If you’re looking for someone who can bring warmth, humour, and a whole lot of heart to your day, I’d be honoured to be a part of it.
PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL
As a celebrant and MC, I bring together all these skills in a way that truly marries (see what I did there?) the professional with the personal. I’ve got hospitality in my bones and a knack for helping guests feel at ease, but I also know how to keep things moving and the vibe right. With my quick wit and cheeky Kiwi humour, I bring a lightness to every ceremony, adding laughs where they’re due and heartfelt warmth in those special moments. My goal is to give you and your guests an experience that feels effortless and memorable, full of laughter, connection, and plenty of those “aww” moments.
