We'll talk, online and/or in person, as often as we need. Gradually, between us, we'll build up a plan of everything that will happen - from entrances, to music, to words, to rings, to different symbolic gestures, to where we'll all stand. I'll learn about your life and your values and write a ceremony that tells your story and guides you through making your promises to each other. You'll be in complete control and will always be able to edit or change anything... and, if you want, I can keep bits of it as a surprise for you. We'll often meet up at the venue the day before to check everything's ok. And then, of course, I'll come on the day with my best speaking voice and conduct proceedings!

Are you looking for a personal ceremony that is warm and welcoming as well as meaningful and memorable? You are in the right place!
The first step in the process is a written questionnaire and once you have completed this, we arrange a meeting (virtually or in person) to discuss and for me to find out more about you, your story and suggest ideas for your ceremony. This typically takes 2 to 3 hours. I then go away and write the ceremony and you get to see it and make any edits you wish before I come and deliver it on the wedding day itself.

Having a celebrant allows you to personalise your wedding ceremony, so every single one is entirely different and devised with you in mind - it tells your story and is the centrepiece of your day. You can include loved ones, fully immerse your guests in the ceremony and incorporate a range of symbolic elements to make sure it reflects your personalities and what is important to you. With me, I’ll have worked closely with you in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure it is ‘just so’ and you will have somebody who genuinely cares about you leading your ceremony. And let’s not forget…with a celebrant you can get married absolutely anywhere, indoors or outside, at any time!

So, how does my process work? Following an initial introduction call and booking, I will email you several documents to help prepare you for the planning process - these include questions to consider for your ceremony, inspirational ideas and a sample of favourite readings.

A few months before your ceremony date, we will meet (preferably) in person, allowing me to find out all about you and your journey together. We will also discuss the finer details of your big day and how you want your ceremony to look.

Following this planning meeting, I will then draft your script and send to you for approval. It is really important to me that you are happy with your ceremony script; once you've read through this first draft, you can make suggestions of changes and amendments which I will happily edit so everything is 'just so.'

A few days before your wedding date, we will have a catch up call to iron out any final details, ask/answer questions and I can talk you through the ceremony, easing any early nerves!

On the day, I will arrive with plenty of time to help prepare and - having delivered a beautifully heartfelt and personalised ceremony - I will leave you with a special keepsake script.

We'll talk, online and/or in person, as often as we need. Gradually, between us, we'll build up a plan of everything that will happen - from entrances, to music, to words, to different symbolic gestures, to getting friends or family involved, to where we'll all stand. I'll learn about your life and your values and write a ceremony that tells your story and guides you through reaffirming your love and partnership for the future. We'll make sure it truly celebrates the life you've built together and your continued commitment to the next stage. You'll be in complete control and will always be able to edit or change anything... and, if you want, I can keep bits of it as a surprise for you. And then, of course, I'll come on the day with my best speaking voice and conduct proceedings!

Vow renewals are a wonderful excuse to get all lovey-dovey again - honestly, what’s not to celebrate? It’s like hitting the refresh button on your love story, a moment to pause and really appreciate the life you’ve built together.

Picture gathering your loved ones to witness your renewed promises, surrounded by memories and the excitement of everything still to come. Whether it’s a milestone anniversary, a celebration of having got through life’s ups and downs together, or just a chance to let your kids or close friends share in your joy, saying “we still do” is a beautiful way to honour your bond - no specific reason required.

And of course, it should feel entirely yours. Personalise the ceremony with touches that resonate with you and your journey together. Maybe new vows that show how far you’ve grown since the first “I do”, or a funny story that gets everyone laughing. Perhaps you’ll include a ritual that symbolises your love - a sand ceremony, swapping new rings, or something entirely of your own making.

So dust off those dreamy wedding memories and get ready to celebrate your love all over again - because every chapter deserves its moment in the spotlight.
