About Annabel Roy
Celebrate South is all about bringing energy, heart, and flair to the moments that matter — from stunning ceremonies to standout events across the South Island.
Hi, I’m Annabel Roy — celebrant, promotions whiz, and your go-to gal for crafting memorable moments that hit just the right note. I help individuals, organisations, and communities shine through meaningful ceremonies, smart event promotion, and a good dose of Southern charm.
Born and raised in the south, I’ve travelled far and wide, but Dunedin is home — and the landscapes of the lower South Island will always hold my heart. From mountaintops to town halls, lakesides to local shows, I work with individuals, families, councils and communities to make sure their moments are honoured and their messages are heard.
With over 100 ceremonies under my belt and years of experience in marketing and community engagement, I know how to bring both meaning and momentum to your moment — and I always come prepared (with backup batteries, a spare pen, and a sense of humour).
Whether I’m standing at the front of a wedding, acting as MC at a local event, or spreading the word about your next big thing, I bring a fresh, relaxed style and a deep love for connecting people with experiences worth remembering.
From weddings and memorials to shows, launches, and community celebrations, I’m here to support your vision — not take over. Think of me as your co-pilot: organised, approachable, and ready to jump in where needed.
My style?
✓ Professional but never stuffy
✓ Relaxed but razor-sharp on the details
✓ A little bit sentimental, a little bit sparkly — and always authentic
Based in beautiful Dunedin but happily travelling across the South, I love working with good people doing great things.
Sound like a fit? Let’s create something unforgettable.
I’ve worked all types of events ranging from intimate weddings to large muddy music festivals.
Catching Your Spark
Where ideas take shape
Every great event starts with a spark - and this is where I catch yours.
I kick things off with a fun, collaborative consultation to get to know your style, dreams, and budget. Then I dive into the exciting stuff: branding, look, and themes that fit your vibe. This stage is all about possibility - gathering ideas, setting the tone, and sketching out the big picture marketing with a clear timeline for promotions and advertisements that builds anticipation for what’s to come.

Showtime!
This is it - the big moment has finally arrived and the excitement is palpable!
I’ll be behind the scenes ramping up the excitement with ‘Day of’ promos keeping your event-goers up to date with what’s happening when and where. For weddings, l’ll make sure everyone’s relaxed and knows where to stand so there’s no confusion. I handle the chaos so you don’t have to. You get to relax, soak it all in, and be fully present while I make sure every detail lands exactly as planned. It’s showtime - and your event is about to shine.
