I'm your celebrant...
I'd love to help you create a wedding ceremony that feels completely yours. Whether you're dreaming of a beautifully rustic celebration in a country barn, a simple gathering in a quiet forest, or something grand in a historic venue, we can make that happen together.
Your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day, and together we'll make sure that it really tells your story as a couple.
Contacting
We'll start with a friendly chat. We can meet in person, talk over the phone, or connect online. Just head over to my Bookings Page to set up a discovery call and we can talk about your initial ideas. Don't worry if you're unsure at this stage. I'm here to offer ideas and guidance if you need them.
Writing
With every wedding ceremony I write, I aim to get as close to perfect first time as possible. However, I’m not precious. If there are things you want me to add, change or re-work, that’s fine. We’ll tweak it so that it’s just right for you. I'll send you the first draft, we'll meet to discuss any amendments you want and then I'll re-draft it for you in the light of our discussions.
Booking
I only ever book one wedding per day. On your day, I'm your celebrant. Your booking includes our planning meetings, the ceremony elements you choose, a venue visit, rehearsal and, of course, the writing and celebrancy at your wedding.
Rehearsing
I'll do a venue visit to familiarise myself with your chosen location and to get to know any staff who you'll also have been working with. Not every venue can accommodate a rehearsal and not every couple wants one. However, it's a great opportunity to run through the technical parts of the ceremony, freeing you up to focus on each other and enjoy the day.
Planning
We'll sit down and go through everything together, We'll talk about your story as a couple, choose music, discuss traditions and elements that are important to you and craft your vows. Your ceremony will be a unique, bespoke expression of your love for one another.
Wedding
I’ll arrive early to ensure your ceremony all runs smoothly. I’ll be there for you, coordinating with the venue and your wedding party - giving pep talks to anyone who might need them and enabling you to enjoy your experience.
And finally, I’ll conduct your bespoke ceremony, setting the tone for the rest of your happy day and the many years beyond.
Ceremonies
Wedding Ceremony
Your wedding ceremony should act as a celebration of your unique story together as a couple in a way which feels just right for you. It should fit you just as well as your dress or the new suit you've bought.
You can do that through the exchanging of rings or gifts, you can have readings or songs which are really meaningful to you - the joy of having a celebrant led wedding is that you can have any symbolic action you like.
We can weave together family traditions, include cultural elements which are important to the two of you, or involve your family and friends however you wish.
In crafting your ceremony with you, I will take your story and turn it into a beautiful celebration of your lives together so far which will lead onto the chapters which are to follow.

Vow Renewals
You may be approaching a special anniversary, emerging from a difficult time or facing a new challenge together. Alternatively, it may just feel like the right time to celebrate what you’ve achieved together.
A renewal of vows or relationship celebration can be a totally private ceremony, an intimate family occasion, or a big public celebration.
Your vow renewal can include repeating your original vows or update them to reflect your relationship now. You can re-dedicate rings or exchange special gifts to symbolise your renewed commitment. You may wish to invite family members or others who are important to you to play a part in your ceremony.
We'll work closely to create a unique renewal of vows celebrating and affirming your past, present and future together.

Little Extras
Below you'll find some little extras which I can provide to support you and members of your wedding party in preparing for your special day. As an ex-headteacher and English teacher, I've got form in helping organise people as well as supporting people with writing and delivering speeches publicly.
