As a professional, independent civil celebrant I work with couples to create and deliver beautifully bespoke ceremonies and wedding rituals. I will meet with my clients as many times as is required before the big day and my service includes as many drafts of the wedding script as is needed to ensure that it is perfect and meets the couples wishes and desires for their special day. My service also includes a rehearsal before the event if this is required, although I am also happy to perform without the rehearsal if this is what the couples wish. Its YOUR day and it needs to be done YOUR way!

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.

Cherry is an independent celebrant from Birmingham uk.

Certified by the Academy of Modern Celebrancy to deliver rock n’ roll style weddings that break a few rules.

At the heart of any ceremony is you and your story, and it’s one not hold back on!

Traditional or off the wall? Religion or pop culture? Subtle or loud & proud - your ceremony will be written and curated how you want it to be.

Want to have your dog walk you down the aisle while your favourite song is playing - easy.
Want to dress up, cosplay or masquerade - why not?
Want to have the whole room laughing one minute and crying happy tears the next? - its’ n the bag!

Kick off with a 20-minute or so consultation with Cherry to talk about your ideas, you’ll then have a longer meeting face-to-face or over Zoom/Teams or in person to start planning.

The script will be written and sent to you for amendments.

You’ll have a constant WhatsApp connection, perfect for those 2 am “I just remembered Auntie Carol wants to do a reading…” or “actually we met in 2011, not 2012” moments - allowing you to carry on your wedding planning stress-free!

The package includes an additional face-to-face meeting, and this can be at home, a pub, a coffee14 shop, wherever you feel comfortable talking about the big day.

We can also do a venue visit with a mini rehearsal if required, so you know where to stand, sit, etc. and put your mind at ease that you won’t be surprised on the day!

I’d be happy to also include a symbolic moment in the service, this could be handfasting, a sand ceremony, warming of the rings or something 100% unique and made up by you to symbolise your bond.

Other services include “Master of Ceremonies” style - introductions, hosting the speeches or an activity and welcoming you to the dancefloor for the first dance - whatever style of dance you choose. This is charged at £50 per hour when booked with a wedding.

The £795 package includes travel up to 65 miles from Birmingham for the service and any meetings. Additional miles can be arranged - I’m flexible!

A 100% judgment free zone - let’s celebrate you & your love!

Having a celebrant allows you to personalise your vow renewal ceremony, so every single one is entirely different and devised with you in mind - it tells your story and shares highlights of your marriage together. 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 event to make sure it is ‘just so’ and you will have somebody who genuinely cares about you leading your vow renewal ceremony.

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 ceremony 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.
