Wedding Celebrants in Carlisle

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!

As well as crafting and leading unforgettable wedding ceremonies, I can also stay on to be your Master of Ceremonies... basically your friendly hype man, and professional people herder for the rest of the day!

I’ll keep things running smoothly and stress free, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Need someone to welcome guests to the reception? That’s me. Introduce speeches with just the right mix of humour and heart? Yep. Announce the cutting of the cake, the first dance, or herd everyone outside for that big group photo without causing a stampede? I’m on it.

You get all the polish of a pro host with the personal touch of someone who already knows you and your vibe... and your guests won’t miss a thing (except possibly the canapés if they’re not paying attention).

For couples who love those extra special touches, my Magic Touch Deluxe Keepsakes and Presentation Box is the cherry on the wedding cake. It’s a beautifully curated collection of keepsakes from your ceremony, all wrapped up in a stunning presentation box you’ll treasure forever. Inside, you’ll find your full wedding script, lovingly hand-bound and printed on luxury linen paper - a true heirloom piece.

There are also handcrafted vow cards for you to keep or read from on the day, a plaited hand fasting cord adorned with charms, and a rustic clay heart personalised with your names and wedding date, tied with twine for that perfect finishing touch.

And to top it all off, a personalised bottle of bubbly, because let’s be honest, everything’s better with champagne. It’s sentimental, beautiful, and totally unique to you... a little bit of magic to remember the moment by.
