Why a wedding directory holds this domain
When korero.maori.nz became available, we registered it. We publish My Wedding Guide, and the one genuine overlap we have with this domain’s subject is that a number of New Zealand marriage celebrants conduct ceremonies in te reo Māori.
We have deliberately not rebuilt or imitated the original site. Its content belonged to Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori and remains theirs.
Celebrants who conduct ceremonies in te reo Māori
Listed on My Wedding Guide. Each of these celebrants has indicated they can conduct all or part of a ceremony in te reo Māori — a wedding, or any other type of ceremony. They are not restricted to weddings: many also conduct baby namings, funerals, unveilings, renewals of vows and civil unions, and act as MC. Some regions have more than others, and the lists grow as celebrants update their listings.
We also publish My Celebrant Guide, which covers celebrants across every ceremony type. It has no te reo filter, so you would need to check individual listings there.
