Beautiful, bespoke and heartfelt wedding ceremonies of your choice.
Your dream wedding
More and more couples are seeking the freedom of choice when deciding upon the location for their wedding ceremonies and to make their day truly unique and memorable without any restrictions. As your wedding celebrant I can help you turn your romantic dream into reality by designing a distinctive, stylish, traditional or quirky ceremony with no restrictions on venue, words, readings, music, vows, religious or symbolic elements. To do this, I will create and deliver a beautiful, bespoke and heartfelt ceremony to reflect Your Wishes, Your Values, Your Choice!
My offer to you
My wedding ceremonies vary in style and content and can be written with no religious or spiritual content at all. Alternatively, we can incorporate a mixture of religious, spiritual and symbolic content to reflect your beliefs, your values and your personalities.
I am fortunate to be able to work in a huge variety of beautiful venues from private homes and gardens, glorious woodlands and beaches, ancient barns, wonderful hotels, stunning country mansions and fabulous castles. Therefore, the weddings I conduct range from romantic elopements with no guests, intimate or simple affairs with just a handful of guests, all the way to large gatherings with 100 or more people. I absolutely love my job and the feedback I get is so rewarding. I promise that I will do everything in my power to ensure your ceremony will be exactly as you want and most importantly that you have fun along the way.
My Packages
One of the greatest joys of creating an independent celebrant-led ceremony is that almost anything goes. People often ask questions such as:
-
Can we choose to have our ceremony in an alternative location, in our garden, a park or a forest? On a beach, by a stream or up a mountain?
-
Can we include religious, faith-based and cross-cultural traditions?
-
Can we have children and pets as part of our ceremony?
-
Can we write our own vows?
-
Can we incorporate elements such as handfasting, unity candles, wine sharing, jumping the broom or family blending?
The answer to all of these questions is: YES!
I will discuss your wish list with you and do whatever is possible to make it happen. We can combine different types of ceremony and work together to make this the occasion of dreams.........the only limit is your imagination!

How does it work?
-
Once I receive your enquiry and send you confirmation of availability and a link to my calendar for you to book an initial consultation to help you decide if I am the celebrant for you.
-
After our meeting, I will send you a booking form and my T&Cs. A 50% booking fee is required to secure the date and the balance is due 12 weeks before the ceremony date. Once your booking is confirmed, I will send you a Wedding Planning Questionnaire, Love Story Questionnaire, examples of poems, readings, vows and promises.
-
We will arrange a Wedding Planning meeting; this can be at the venue. Now is the time to start getting to know each other better, discuss the details of your ceremony using the information from your questionnaires, explore ideas and start to plan the service (I love this part).
-
I then start writing (I love this part as well!). I will use my notes from our meetings, the information from your Love Story Questionnaires and my own observations to create your unique and personal ceremony script. I will help you with your vows if required.
-
Once the draft is complete, you get to check it. There will be unlimited edits, emails, calls and video calls to ensure the words are perfect for you and you are completely happy with how your ceremony will be held. I will liaise with the venue and other suppliers as necessary to ensure everyone is aware of the relevant details of the ceremony.
-
We can have a rehearsal and full logistical walk-through at the venue in the days leading up to your wedding. On the day – I will arrive at least one hour early, check in with the venue staff, photographer etc and come and see you if you are at the venue. I will conduct the ceremony in a professional manner (of course, I absolutely love this part too!). I will leave you with a keepsake copy of your ceremony script and my best wishes!
