Wedding Ceremonies
Getting married? Congratulations!
If you're getting married and have started to think about The Big Day, you may be starting to realise how much there is to plan for: the venue, total numbers, flowers, photographers, music, catering (phew) - and that's not all there is to consider! Whilst it can be a fun process, there is a lot of pressure on couples to create the 'perfect' day, and in the eagerness to check things off the list, we can forget the ceremony itself.
​
In order to perform or conduct the ceremony itself, you'll need a celebrant. This is the person who writes and delivers the ceremony to your guests. This is me, and being trusted to deliver a ceremony on the behalf of a couple is one of the greatest privileges of my career. As your celebrant, I will take your guests on a journey of your unique love story, incorporating anecdotes which will make your guests smile, laugh and most probably shed a few tears! Elements such as poems, hymns or symbolic gestures can all be planned for, to ensure that the most important part of the day - your vows and your commitment to one another - are a memorable and truly beautiful reflection of you as a couple.
​
It has to be said that in the wedding industry there is a lot of choice and there are many providers. It's really important that you spend time to find what's (and who) is right for you as a couple. The process for working with me as your celebrant is outlined below - if you think I'm the person to bring your day to life, please get in touch below.

Contact Me
In the first instance, contact me using the form below.
I'll get back to you to check my availability for your date, and arrange a convenient time for a face-to-face meeting.
​
This meeting is a relaxed and informal chat where I tell you more about what I do and you can decide if I am the right person to write and perform your ceremony.
​
I answer any questions you might have so that you can go away and think it over.
There's no obligation to sign up at this meeting, you need to find a celebrant who offers exactly what you're looking for!

Sign Up + Meet
Once you've decided I'm right for you, we will meet face to face for a meeting for me to get to know your story properly with lots of detail. How and where you met, the story with the pizza on your first date, that time you...you get the gist!
​
The purpose of this is for me to really get a sense of who you are as a couple. It helps me to craft a deeply personalised ceremony.
​
We'll also consider any elements which are important to you, such as references to family members who are no longer with us as an example, or a symbolic gesture which means a lot.
​
Following this gathering of information, I will write the ceremony, a process which takes many hours and involves many redrafts.

Editing + Refining
You'll receive an electronic copy of the draft in plenty of time for your Big Day. You'll need to read it carefully and check that you're happy that it reflects you as a couple.
​
You'll share your feedback with me (either through email, face-to-face or via Zoom) so that I can make the changes.
​
When I've made the changes and re-worked the script, you'll be sent the final version.
If it's still not feeling quite right, we will meet/chat again. I will make as many changes as necessary - after all, it's your day and it has to be exactly as you want it.
​
​
​
On the Big Day...
On the day itself you can simply relax (well, as much as possible!) knowing that your love story will be shared with those who mean the most to you. Your guests will be delighted with the ceremony, so be prepared to accept all of the beautiful comments!
​
If you're looking for a celebrant who believes that love is love and every love story is unique and worthy of being celebrated, please get in touch below - I'd be delighted to hear from you.
