Personalised Wedding Ceremonies | Poetry & New Traditions

In the latest episodes of my YouTube series Creating Ceremonies With a Twist, we go even deeper into how a celebrant-led wedding can transform your day. If you’ve been searching for modern wedding ceremony UK ideas, this is where you’ll find them.

First, let’s talk about words. Imagine a poem or reading written just for you, not borrowed from Shakespeare, but created to reflect your story. In Episode 4 I share how I write personalised wedding poems and adapt readings to reflect your quirks, humour, and tender moments. A bespoke wedding reading can be playful, romantic, or even cheeky if that’s who you are.

Then there’s the question of tradition. In Episode 5 I explore how new wedding traditions can start with you. Maybe walking down the aisle feels too formal, so you arrive hand-in-hand instead. Maybe you involve your guests in an interactive ritual such as “ring warming,” or create something completely new, tying a knot with climbing rope if you’re hikers, planting a tree if you’re nature-lovers, or making a family vow if children are part of your world. These touches become your traditions, ones you’ll look back on with joy.

Finally, Episode 6 is about making sure your ceremony is the part people really remember. Flowers are beautiful and cake is delicious, but a story-led celebrant wedding full of creative touches is what your guests will be talking about for years. That’s the power of an unforgettable wedding ceremony.

If you’re dreaming of fresh ideas for modern weddings, interactive moments that reflect who you are, or personalised wedding poetry that speaks straight from the heart, the second half of my Creating Ceremonies With a Twist series is for you.

Watch Episodes 4–6 now on my YouTube channel for inspiration on creating a ceremony guests will never forget. And if you’re planning your own celebration, I'd love to have a chat about my creative wedding celebrant services and see how we can design a North Yorkshire celebrant-led wedding that’s completely yours.
