Five steps to a fabulous wedding!

1 — We meet for a chat!

Finding a wedding celebrant is a really personal choice. Before you book, let’s catch up for a chat about your wedding planning, this can be in person or over Zoom. We’ll talk about what you both want from your wedding ceremony, I can answer any questions about celebrant weddings and give a little insight into what it would be like working with me as your wedding celebrant.

2 — Signed and Sealed, I’m your Celebrant!

If you decide that I’m the wedding celebrant for you (yay!!) I'll send some Terms & Conditions so we have a written agreement. I’ll also take a deposit to secure us both. Once we confirm the date, I’m all yours!

3 — Creating Wedding that’s Completely You

Next, we’ll have the important meeting to lay out your plans for the day. This is the fun bit where I really get to know you both! I’ll get the key facts sorted, then I can focus on your love story and what brought you to wanting to say I do! From first date disasters, your beautiful love story, to the complexities of blending families and building a partnership in this real messy world, this is the stuff that feel-good wedding ceremonies and fabulous days are made of!

As your wedding celebrant, I’ll guide you to make sure your wedding feels exactly that…Yours! From vows and promises to rituals and ring-bearers! Know what you want? Fab! Let’s make it happen! Struggling with where to begin? I can suggest readings, poems or songs to bring your wedding to life! If that’s already making you cringe, I’ll create something pared back and beautifully simple. All aspects of the ceremony will be chosen to focus on you, your love, and your story.

4 — Written from the Heart always

I’ll then craft and curate your unique wedding ceremony, weaving in warmth, joy and a sprinkling of humour. It will feel authentic to you both, flowing between storytelling & symbolism and brimming with celebration. I always aim for feel-good at the first attempt, but I’m committed to it being the perfect fit. So if you need it nipped or tucked let me know...I’ll make sure it’s just right in time for your big day!

5 — The Big Day!

On the day, I’ll be at your wedding venue early to make sure we’re all set. I’ll check in with photographers, venue staff, musicians and readers. I’ll also be there to reassure you both! Then, I’ll host your unique, feel-good ceremony, kicking off your special day.

Why Use a Celebrant and Not a Registrar?

Why go for Ordinary, when you can have Extraordinary?

I design highly customized and unique events for every type of celebration. I’m here to make sure that each event I’m involved with is inspiring, extraordinary and unforgettable. From initial planning to selecting the perfect catering and concept, I'll assist you every step of the way until I deliver a stunning result beyond imagination.

Weddings: About

I will ensure that the focus of the ceremony is on you; that it is memorable and one of the highlights of the day. It is a completely original experience. No templates. No filling in the gaps.

I will make your ceremony warm, entertaining and engaging. A celebration of your lives, your story. A ceremony with the feel of a party. Tailored to your exact wishes.

This is possible because there are no restrictions on content at all. Furthermore, it can be held literally wherever you want; be that a beach your garden or woodland. Lastly you get to choose who you want to officiate.

None of this applies to a ceremony led by a Registrar.

IS A CEREMONY LED BY A CELEBRANT LEGALLY BINDING?

Sadly not. But hopefully things are heading in the right direction with the Law Commission recommendations on the future of marriage law in England and Wales and being presented to Northern Ireland later this year.

Until changes are made couples wishing to have a celebrant led ceremony must attend the registry office to legalise their marriage. They should request the basic statutory ceremony which lasts no more than 15-20 minutes requiring two witnesses and costing in the region of £50.00. Most couples get this out of the way a few days before.

An advantage of the legal marriage being undertaken separately is that on the day of your wedding ceremony you can relax and enjoy it with your friends and families without any official formalities at all.
