Your ceremony should be one of the most meaningful, joy-filled parts of your day — and that’s exactly what I’m here to help you create.

From our first relaxed chat to the moment you say “I do,” I’ll be by your side to design and deliver a ceremony that feels truly you. Heartfelt, light-hearted, romantic, real — whatever your vibe, I’ll bring your story to life with warmth, humour and care.

What makes a Celebrant-led ceremony different?

It’s written just for you: No scripts. No standard speeches. Just a ceremony that tells your love story in a way that feels right—whether that’s romantic and emotional, light-hearted and funny, or a bit of both.
Any location, any time: Registry office not your vibe? No problem. With a celebrant-led ceremony, you can say ‘I do’ just about anywhere—from a castle to a campsite, a barn to your back garden. Morning, noon or night—your day, your way.
No clock-watching: Unlike a Registrar, I won’t be rushing off to the next wedding. We take our time. You can breathe, soak it all in, and really enjoy the moment.
All the personal touches: Want to include your kids, your dog, your favourite poem, or a handfasting ritual? Fancy writing your own vows (or want a bit of help with them)? I’ll guide you through it all—and offer plenty of ideas if you’re not sure where to start.
You’ll know who’s standing with you: When you work with me, you’ll know exactly who’ll be standing there on the day (spoiler: it’s me!). Not a stranger who shows up five minutes before.

What about the legal bit?

Good question! At the moment, UK Celebrants can’t legally marry couples—so you’ll still need to do the legal part at the Register Office (usually a quick 10-minute appointment with two witnesses). Most couples do this a few days before or after the big day—then treat the real ceremony as the one they’ll remember forever.
