Hamilton Celebrant

Peter Cowell

Peter is a licensed celebrant, and offers his services for both in-house weddings at Willowbrook Park or as well as independent celebrancy for couples who have their own venue in mind.

Peter knows how important for a couple to feel comfortable with their celebrant and so always starts by getting to know you first by meeting up over a cup of coffee so that you can get to know him and get a feel for his vibe. At the same time Peter will get to know you and can help direct the ceremony in a way that's perfectly in line with you vision!

Peter brings over 25 years of experience as a celebrant in the UK and then now in New Zealand, having been an Anglican priest and celebrant in London.

He also knows that confidentiality is important. Every couple deserves to be able to plan their big day knowing that their need for privacy will be respected. Couples can be assured that their conversations, ideas and plans will always be kept in the strictest of confidence.

Whether you wish to have an intimate ceremony with a small group of close friends or an epic day with hundreds of guests; whether you dream of a ceremony on the beach, in the garden, or in a country house. Whatever your dream is, Peter will help you to translate it into reality for your big day.

Not only is Peter a 5 star celebrant, he also owns and operates the beautiful Hamilton wedding venue, Willowbrook Park. Check out Willowbrook Park in our blog here.

Peter is great at what he does and I’m sure these very happy couples would 100% agree!

Thank you so much for being our marriage celebrant. We can both honestly say it was the best day of our lives to date. You were everything we could have hoped for in a celebrant - confident, professional, calming, caring and personable to name a few traits. You made us feel so at ease during the ceremony. I was so surprised that my nerves didn't take over on the day. I just felt so happy. It must have been your calmness rubbing off on us. We have had so many comments from guests saying things about you such as "the best celebrant they have ever come across". I will be sure to recommend you to anyone planning a wedding.

Dear Peter, Julia and I would just like to say how happy we are to have had you as our celebrant. From our first meeting to the big day it was such a pleasure to plan everything with you. You gave us our perfect service and so many of our friends commented on how lovely it was and how nice it was to meet and talk with you after... thank you for all that you did for our big day it really was everything we had both hoped for and more.

Peter was everything we could ask for in a celebrant. When we first met him, we knew he was the right person to marry us, He listened to our needs, offered advice and made us feel relaxed about our wedding. Our wedding ceremony was just perfect, so thank you so much Peter for making our day so special.
