About Helen McCaul

As a trained and professional Independent Celebrant it will be a privilege to work with you to make your special day an occasion to remember. Every wedding is unique and I can offer a range of ideas to make your dreams come true.
I have a genuine interest in working with people, and gain satisfaction in seeing others fulfill their wishes and achieve goals. I work with several organisations as a volunteer providing a service to others.
My working career included recruitment and HR related positions, my main focus being service delivery and establishing relationships across a wide range of industry backgrounds and levels of experience. I presented training courses and ran interview-training workshops. I have also worked within corporate organisations in marketing, sales and administrative roles.
I enjoy a wide social and community involvement. I was a long-term President of the Christchurch Branch of my former high school, Timaru Girls. In 2011, I was Committee member as well as the MC and keynote speaker for our 90th Hostel Reunion and Chaired our 2021 Hostel Centennial Committee and weekend of celebrations.
As a former member of two Toastmasters club, including an Advanced Club, I achieved success in competitions over the years as a competent public speaker, and enjoy the opportunity of speaking at special events.
I pride myself on my strong organisation, presentation, and facilitation skills, and my professionalism and commitment to the job. As a "just-do-it" person I like to be busy, including attending exercise classes and walking for fitness and pleasure - and coffee!
In my role as an Independent Celebrant, I am a Validated Member of Celebrants Aotearoa New Zealand (CANZ) and as such abide by their code of ethics and on-going professional development. I am an active member of the Canterbury Branch of CANZ and former Chairperson of the Branch Committee. I trained with The Celebrant School and am validated to perform Registry wedding ceremonies as well as 'traditional' or personalised ceremonies, designed uniquely for each couple.
Call me today for a free initial discussion about your ideas and wishes for a personalised dream ceremony.
I can also assist with preparing and presenting funeral ceremonies or a memorial service to celebrate the life of a loved one.
