My fee includes meeting with you both to plan your ceremony, writing and delivering the ceremony, and giving you a pdf keepsake copy after the ceremony, when you have some photos to share. If a rehearsal is required, that is also included in the fee.

Here is a full breakdown of what's included:

The Bespoke Creation Process
The entire ceremony is crafted from your unique story, ensuring every word resonates with authenticity:

Unlimited Script Drafts & Edits: The creative process is entirely collaborative. We begin with a Storytelling Session to map your journey, and you receive multiple script drafts and edits until every sentence is perfect. You will never have a pre-written, generic script.

Vows, Readings & Personalisation: You receive dedicated support with writing personal vows and full guidance on selecting the perfect readings, poems, or music that reflect your style.

Symbolism & Inclusion: We specialise in bringing meaning to your day. This includes assistance with symbolic elements and the perfect integration of family & friends in the service. Custom, bespoke rituals are available as a premium add-on to your package.

Planning, Rehearsal, and Delivery
We handle the logistics so you can focus purely on the joy of the day:

Initial Consultation & Rehearsal: We begin with an Initial Consultation to ensure we're the perfect fit. Your package includes a Virtual Rehearsal to ensure perfect flow and timing for your day. A full Venue Rehearsal is available as a premium upgrade.

Professional Onsite Time: A generous 3 hours of onsite service on the wedding day is included, ensuring time for pre-ceremony check-ins and smooth post-ceremony departure.

Lasting Keepsakes
The memories shouldn't fade with the day:

Keepsake Copy of Ceremony Script: You receive a beautifully presented keepsake copy of your final ceremony script—your first family heirloom.

Commemorative Certificate: A signed Commemorative Certificate is provided as a unique record of your special day.

This package provides the most comprehensive, Creative, Professional, and Romantic foundation for the start of your married life.

A commitment ceremony is perfect for couples who want to celebrate their love, but are less fussed about the legal side of things!

Each ceremony is built from scratch around your needs and preferences, but typically a Commitment ceremony includes your love story, reflections on why you're making this commitment and what it means to you both, music or readings, and symbolic actions.

You can choose to read the script beforehand and make changes, or you can trust me to keep it as a surprise!

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.

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.
