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!

Together we will create a ceremony that is unique and personal and that represents who you are as a couple. We can meet either virtually or in person as much as is necessary before the ceremony; I can be flexible and understand the need for everything to be just right for your day. As an ex English teacher, I understand the importance of language so I am happy to write a number of drafts until the wording is perfect for you.
Fun or romantic, traditional or deeply personal, you can set whatever tone you like. On the day, I will have familiarised myself with the venue and will be there 100% to support you in your celebration of love.

I have a free consultation to find out whether I’m in the Celebrant for you and tell you all about what I do. If you book, you will receive a booking form which, once your deposit has been received will be followed by the questionnaire to find out a little bit more about you and what you want from your wedding ceremony. When you’ve completed your questionnaire and returned it, we will set a date to get together to discuss final details and plan the ceremony. We talk about all the options, including unity ceremonies, such as handfasting, wine and sand Ceremonies etc if required, poems, personal touches etc. I’ll then write everything up and send it to you for your approval or edits. We’ll also arrange a read-through to ensure everything is accurate. If you'd prefer to receive the script in writing, this will be provided once the balance is paid, one month before the ceremony. This still allows time for any final adjustments if needed. On the day, I arrive about an hour before to prepare for the ceremony. I include a beautiful bespoke design for your commitment certificate, vow, poem booklets and keepsake script. Unity ceremonies can also be designed to coordinate. I also dress in keeping with colours and themes of your day.

Everyone loves wedding. Make the big day all the more special with a unique ceremony lovingly crafted and based solely around you and your story. Celebrant led ceremonies are 100% bespoke. We will have an initial meeting and then in the lead up to the wedding day itself, there will be periodic get togethers to ensure we are still all on the same page and nothing has been missed or left to chance.

Marriage is an institution steeped in history and tradition, but society is finally waking up to the fact that any couple is far more than just a sum of its parts. It is two unique people, becoming one, wonderfully unique couple. You are not an ‘off the peg’ couple, so why settle for an ‘off the peg’ wedding?

​Live musical tributes are very much optional but can add an extra dash of glitz to the day and of course, the choice of music is entirely up to you. Live instrumentalists can be booked in addition to live vocals, but additional charges will apply.

Unlimited email and phone updates, ideally a rehearsal the day before (or TBC), and obviously my complete availability for the whole of your wedding day ie I never have any other commitments or time constraints on your chosen date, so I am completely yours!
I have loads of carefully collected examples of readings, music, vows, hand-fasting texts, and much more - very happy to share to give you as much or as little inspiration as you like.

There’s no set script, I will write a tailored ceremony based on conversations I have with you and your partner. I will also discuss with you and develop any ideas you may want to incorporate into your renewal, or indeed anything you wished you’d done at your wedding but didn’t and want to now!

If you’ve ever dreamt about a ceremony set to the theme of the movie “Titanic”, one based on the songs of Meatloaf or would prefer something a little more akin to a traditional style of ceremony all of these ideas and more can be part of your renewal if you wish.

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!
