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.

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 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.
