I don’t often get a thank you from the father of the bride, so this one touched me: Rev. Werk, It is never easy to give one’s daughter away at a wedding. But the wonderful service you had for Lindsey and Brian on July 12, was so uplifting that it helped me immensely. Thank you […]

What does Koru mean?

KORU (kor-roo) is the Maori word for “loop.” For the indigenous people of New Zealand, the koru spiral represents a fern frond beginning to unfurl. The koru symbol embodies new beginnings, a new phase of life, renewal, hope for the future, positive change, personal growth, working in harmony, bringing people together, and being mindful of the good things in life.

At Koru Ceremony, we strive to personify these ideals and celebrate a new beginning through ceremony and ritual.
