Wedding Celebrants in Southampton

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.

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.

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.
