How it works
1 - Chat
We start with a free, no-obligation chat on Zoom. If it feels right, we meet properly so I can get to know you both. Cake is encouraged.
I write your ceremony from scratch and help with readings, vows and music. You see and hear the whole thing before the day, and nothing is final until you've signed it off.
2 - create
I only take one ceremony a day, so on yours I'm there for you and nobody else. I lead your ceremony with warmth and joy, and work with your venue and suppliers so it all runs smoothly.
3 - Celebrate
"Our wedding day was beyond perfect. I was terrified of walking in, in front of people and seeing you waiting for me at the top of the stairs made all my fears go away. You knew straight away how to put us at our ease, and understood all our fears. We knew we could call you at any time about ANYTHING and you would help us through. You became so much more than a celebrant...you became our friend. You not only understood our 'oddities' you embraced them, and encouraged us to stand by our choices."
Packages
A wedding isn't about paperwork. It's about standing up with the person you've chosen and saying, this is the one. This is the person who makes my heart skip a beat. Maybe in front of everyone you know. Maybe just the two of you.
​
Couples who like laughter, warmth and putting their own spin on things are right up my street. I'll happily get into a theme. But I'm a big believer that love is the greatest story, so I work hard to find out what makes you tick.
​
With a celebrant-led ceremony you can have it where you want, when you want, and include anything that means something to you.

The legal bit
In England and Wales, a celebrant can't do the legal part of your marriage or civil partnership (yet). That's a short registration at your register office, before or after your celebrant-led ceremony. It doesn't have to include rings or vows, and your register office can tell you the current fee.Once that's done, the ceremony that really matters is yours. Anywhere, any time, your way.
Signature moments
A Signature Moment is a ritual that says something about you: your relationship, your families, your cultures or your traditions. Children and guests can join in, and many leave you with a keepsake. Whatever your beliefs, there's a way to include one.
Handfasting
Your hands are tied together with a cord or ribbon. It's where 'tying the knot' is often said to come from. I can even show you how to make your own cords.
Ring warming
Your rings are passed from guest to guest, and everyone makes a wish for your future as they hold them
Candle Lighting
Family and friends light a candle to wish you well, and take it home afterwards. I can provide personalised candles.
Sand Ceremony
Coloured sands poured together, never to be separated. As many colours as you like, and you keep the result.Got an idea of your own? Brilliant. We can create something together that nobody has done before.

Celebrant or registrar?
If you’re planning a wedding in the UK, here’s the practical bit.
​
A registrar conducts the legal marriage. They work to a set script and within specific venues that are licensed.
An independent celebrant, like me, creates and delivers a completely bespoke ceremony, but we do not conduct the legal paperwork. Most couples choose to complete the legal registration at a register office either before or after their celebrant-led ceremony.
​
So yes, you need a registrar for the legal part*.
​
But if what you really care about is how the ceremony feels, sounds and reflects you, that’s where a celebrant makes the difference.
​
With a celebrant ceremony you can:
-
Hold it anywhere
-
Include anything meaningful to you including religion
-
Write personal vows without restriction
-
Involve family and friends in ways that feel natural​
-
Not rush, or stick rigidly to a timeline or a 20 minute service
-
Know everyone in the room.
