The start of your celebrations
Once you have chosen your venue you will spend hours, weeks, even years planning your special day. You will choose what to wear, plan the styling, the music, the food and the drink. So I guess if you have made it here you have also given some thought to your ceremony, hurrah!
You realise that your ceremony is the whole reason that you have gathered everyone you love the most together. Everyone is there to witness you two make your commitment to each other, so it really shouldn’t be the boring bit! It’s the start of your celebrations and it should totally and unapologetically be all about you!
As you may have gathered I don’t do boring ceremonies only show stopping ones filled with joy, love and laughter.
I describe my style as traditional but modern, I want it to feel like a wedding rather than a comedy performance, its’ all about getting the balance right, of which I excel at (just saying!).
I bring the ‘Something Old’ (me!) the ‘Something New’ (a modern twist) the ‘Something Borrowed’ (my experience and ideas) and very, very occasionally ‘Something Blue’ (but only if your story absolutely insists on it, it is a wedding after all!) What matters is what’s important to you, that’s the basis of your ceremony, my job is to find out what that is.
I create the following ceremonies:
Wedding & Commitment
Your ceremony can be as traditional or alternative as you want it to be or a mixture of both. As you will know by now I’m all about “Less Pomp & More Ceremony!”® I’m here to find out what’s right for you.
Don’t want to exchange rings? Not a problem I can suggest other ways to signify your love. Maybe you still want to sign something and have witnesses, no worries, I have the most dreamy certificate all personalised just for you.
Fancy writing secret promises to one another (I fully encourage you to do this btw!) or want a fusion of cultures (I really love those). Want your guests to join in with readings, prayers, poems or even a singalong as you walk back down the aisle together? Absolutely no problem at all. Let’s create your Bespoke Celebrant Ceremony.
Elopement
Whether it’s you two or two plus a few, an elopement gives you permission to create something right for you. It’s not about inviting lots of guests, or making sure everyone else is happy, it’s about getting back to the heart of it all: the two of you.
Fancy exchanging your personal vows in your favourite forest with your wellies on and fish and chips on the way home? Or maybe the exact spot that you shared your first date feels right, sharing a bottle of Champagne and having some photographs? I’m 100% down for that!
I will create a ceremony that will make it all the more special and be your personal romance conductor!
We Still Do!
Marking a special anniversary or a major life event? Or perhaps your wedding day wasn’t quite what you wanted and now you want something more bespoke and feels more you? A vow renewal ceremony is the perfect way to refresh your commitment to each other by saying “I Still Do” all over again. I would be delighted to help you celebrate wherever you are in your love story.
Fancy adding something a little different to your ceremony to showcase you?
Add a Hand Tying ceremony and include your guests. Beautiful and meaningful and your chosen ribbons will add an explosion of colour to proceedings.
Add a Tequila or Gin Ceremony – yep, there is such a thing! Are you having a more relaxed meal but still want to have some speeches? Have you considered doing them at the end of your ceremony? I love to hear your people talking about you! And yes we can add a toast!
Want to include your pets, plant a tree or have a singalong (but I absolutely can’t take the lead on this…..trust me!) no problem, let’s chat.
Whichever ceremony option you are looking for I would be delighted to create your Bespoke Celebrant Ceremony.
The small print….Just because your Celebrant ceremony isn’t legally binding doesn’t mean it isn’t ‘real’. Your REAL wedding is the one that reflects you surrounded by everyone that means the most. Some people just don’t understand why you are ‘doing it twice’ or ask you why you are having a ‘fake’ wedding. I can guarantee they will be the first ones to tell you how much they enjoyed your bespoke ceremony! It’s true, read my reviews!
