Weddings, Vow Renewals and Commitment Ceremonies

“It was love that made you, love that raised you and with love, we are here today, to watch you carry it on.”

- Donna Ashworth

When you know, you know

That special person to spend the rest of your life with

That particular time, date and backdrop to celebrate your love for each other

Those unique and magical touches you’d like interwoven making your day a unique occasion, personal to you.

Giving Meaning to Your Special Day

A powerful ingredient that beautifully binds everything together is the meaning I bring to your special day. As part of the service I will write for you, I will ensure each element holds significance and reflects your love story.

From the music you choose and its meaning, to the traditions and rituals that showcase your unique personalities, I blend a wealth of memories, emotions, and sentiments. This helps your guests feel deeply connected to your celebration, creating a day that is truly yours.

Your Love Story

Your love story serves as the foundation of your service and ceremony. It provides the backdrop that your photographer will capture in pictures and your videographer will curate on film. The structure of your story, woven into the ceremony, will evoke powerful memories every time you look back at your special day.

A Bespoke Ceremony

As your wedding celebrant, I will craft a personalized and bespoke ceremony that captures the essence of you as a couple. Together, we will create a unique experience that tells your love story and shares your hopes for the future as you begin your journey together.

Drawing on years of creative writing and event organizing experience, I take the time to learn about your passions, how you met, and what is most important to you. This allows me to design a holistic service that complements the special touches and attention to detail you’ve worked so hard to plan.

Rituals and Customs

For added personalisation and meaning, I can incorporate rituals, cultural customs, or traditions that hold special significance for you. These elements can also offer opportunities to include family and friends, making the ceremony even more meaningful.

Some popular options include:

Jumping the broom

Handfasting

Sand blending

Tree planting

Ring warming

We can also include spiritual, scriptural, or poetic verses that are meaningful to you. Together, we will create a ceremony that feels uniquely yours.

Flexible Locations

Whether indoors or outdoors, at a hotel, at home, in a barn, or on a beach, I can deliver your ceremony at a location of your choosing.

Weddings, commitment ceremonies, and vow renewals start from £695.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a celebrant and a registrar?

In the UK, to be legally married, this has to be registered either via a registrar in your local registry office, or via a church representative aligned to your chosen faith. The legal certificate should be signed either the day before or after the wedding service.

A celebrant-led service provides the freedom to have a fully personalised and bespoke service, tailored to you, your and your partner before or after the wedding service with the flexibility of being held at any location of your choosing.

In the case of a funeral related service, a celebrant-led service offers the same level of personalisation and meaning to celebrate the life of your loved one.

How far do you travel?

Travel costs within a 40 mile radius are included in the service fee costs.

Are you a humanist celebrant?

I am an independent civil celebrant which means that I am not a representative of the church though nor am I an atheist and am entirely happy to include readings, poetry or spiritual content as required and related to your faith. A humanist celebrant-led service does not include any spiritual content.

How confidential is the content?

For all ceremonies or services, then you and your partner if applicable (or me) will see the final content and running order without your permission. For a wedding, in the case of you each wanting to write your vows privately to be revealed to each other for the first time on the day, I am happy to liaise with you both separately.

How far in advance do I need to book you?

As much notice as you can is always welcome though I know circumstances can mean that it may not always be possible to do that, so please simply get in touch and I’m happy to work out a workable solution where feasible.

Which qualifications do you hold?

I have been trained by and am a member of, the International College of Professional Celebrants.

Can we write our own vows/promises?

Your wedding service should always be a reflection of you and your partner and invariably this can comprise a mixture of your words and emotions combined with content that I creatively write to craft a beautiful service for your special day. You will see all content prior to the big day.

Any other questions?

If anything else springs to mind, please complete the contact form and I will respond with the appropriate answer. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
