Belinda de Lautour

Celebrant & Wedding Planner

In 2001, when Belinda was planning her son and daughter-in-law's wedding, she had a team of helpers who became known as her 'angels'. These helpers were indispensable, and so when Belinda started her own wedding planning business, her mind immediately went back to that time, and she thought that she would like to be an 'angel' for others – with a band of enthusiastic ‘angels’ at the ready.

How the Wedding Angel can help you

Belinda is a born organiser and has been planning weddings for years. She is a practicing Registered Celebrant and is uniquely placed to meet the requests and wishes of couples wishing to be married.

Belinda is resident in Taupo, so has the inside running and the contacts necessary to liaise with all the best services that Taupo has to offer. She will work with you, doing as much or as little as you want in order to make your special day run like clockwork with everything you ever wanted and perhaps even just a little bit more!
