About Gray

Welcome. Thanks for Taking the Time to Connect.


Based in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, I've dedicated my career to two interconnected passions: helping couples celebrate their love through meaningful ceremonies, and helping communities and organisations communicate more effectively.

With a background in media and public speaking, I bring a unique perspective to both roles. Whether I'm crafting personalised wedding vows or facilitating a team workshop, my focus is always on honest communication and creating genuine connections.

I believe that the same principles that make a wedding ceremony meaningful, authenticity, careful listening, and thoughtful expression, are exactly what organisations need to build stronger teams and communities.
