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!

Relaxed commitment ceremony for couple or family. If you want to come together as a couple or family but, for whatever reason, this can't be/ you don't want this to be in marriage at this time, then a commitment ceremony is a great option. It gives you the opportunity to say what being and belonging together means to you and to represent this with a symbolic act or ritual. This ceremony is typically shorter than a full wedding ceremony and doesn't include the story or traditional vows though it may still include an exchange of rings or other tokens.

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!

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.

Renew your vows for your anniversary or after so many years married with a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. If you have been married for a number of years, you might want to mark a milestone or perhaps you never had the wedding you dreamed of. I can help you create a vow renewal that will look back on your married life so far and look ahead to the future. This ceremony will not include all the elements of a full wedding package but you can involve your guests, include personal vows or symbolic acts and have as many script edits as you wish.
