Maori Wedding Procedures A traditional Maori themed wedding ceremony certainly adds a cultural flavor to the occasion. The Maori wedding commences with a traditional Maori welcome as the Bride & Groom are welcomed onto the venue.
During the ceremony the Bride & Groom adorn themselves by wearing the Maori wedding cloaks and receive greenstone gifts symbolising strength & happiness. The Maori Priest pronounces a blessing upon the newly weds and the hongi (touching of noses) takes place uniting the couple together as one.
Traditional Maori song and dance takes place throughout the Maori wedding and the Bride & Groom are serenaded with the world famous Maori love song Pokarekare ana as they exchange their vows to oneanother.
Nowhere else in the world are couples able to experience a truly unique and emotional Maori wedding experience!
