My favourite ceremonies are the ones that make you laugh and cry in equal measure, so those are the ones I write.
They’re energising, full of warmth and laughter, but will also get you right in the feels. Hilarious and fun, heartwarming and intimate.
And it won’t just be a timeline of your relationship - we’re not writing a CV here. It’ll be everything that you and your closest people have told me, woven together and played back in a totally unique way. Your favourite memories, your in-jokes, the things you love most about each other - everyone will learn something new about you and leave with a whole new level of love and appreciation for you as a couple.
My style is informal and inclusive - when I’m up there it’ll feel listening to your best friend tell a story, rather than a formal speech. I’m here to make sure that you and all of your guests feel amazing, and have the time of your bloody lives!
I love to work with open minded people with a zest for life. I use non-gendered language as a default, and come with no preconceptions about what your day will look like - we’ll design every detail of the ceremony around you, your life and your unique identities.
London is my local stomping ground, but I’m more than happy to travel further afield. Anyone getting married in Ibiza and need a fun, red haired celebrant..? Asking for a friend.
Wedding ceremonies
Making it yours
With a celebrant-led ceremony there are no rules or ‘shoulds’. It can be traditional, or it can be totally wild and whimsical - I’ll always be led by you.
What makes the process so fun is that every part of your ceremony is totally customisable. The language, the tone, the structure, the people involved, the elements we include. So you want your Auntie to run a quiz mid-way through, and finish the ceremony with a pint and a big ‘ol cheers? Consider it done.
And if you’re not sure what you want yet, I can absolutely help. We can come up with ideas together to make your ceremony totally unique and authentic to you. It’s a very fun part of the process!
I’ve listed some of the ways you can personalise your ceremony here, but this is really just scratching the surface. We can be as creative as your imagination allows…
-
There are a lot of glorious people that have been a part of your journey as a couple, so why not have them as part of your ceremony too? One of your closest people could read a poem (maybe even one they’ve written), sing a sea shanty, play the violin, do a dramatic reading of the WhatsApps you sent after your first date - or maybe you ask them to surprise you!
-
This is where we can get REALLY creative. We can take things you love to do together and make them part of the ceremony. If you love climbing, we could hang your rings from ropes and carabiners. You met at a cocktail bar? We could concoct a new recipe to represent you as a pair, and shake it up for a toast at the end of the ceremony. When planning the ceremony we can explore what feels right for you and get those creative juices flowing.
-
Most ceremonies start and end with music, but there are so many other ways you can use it. Instead of a reading or poem, someone close to you might perform a song. You might have music playing whilst you read your vows. Your guests might sing a Kylie medley as you enter the space (pls, I beg), or have percussion instruments under their seats to use throughout. The music you choose, and the way you use it, can really shape the overall tone of the ceremony.
-
You may want elements of your cultures or life experiences to form part of the ceremony, or maybe to be woven the whole way through. As we get to know each other, we’ll have some lovely deep conversations - we’ll discuss what feels right for you, and what potential elements we could include that are authentic to you, your experiences and your relationship.
-
Your nearest and dearest will be your biggest cheerleaders no matter what. But a fun way to add some energy to the ceremony is to get them involved. You could give them all paddles with your faces on and run a ‘guess who’ style quiz. Or have the rings secured under two of the seats and have surprise ring bearers. Maybe a conga line around the room to finish the ceremony?! All of your guests will be in great spirits, so involving them is a great way to really channel that positive energy.
Working together
If you’re interested in booking me as your celebrant (exciting!), here’s a full run down of how it’ll work from start to finish…
Initial chemistry call
Before you book, we’ll have a chat to make sure I’m the right celebrant for you. I’ll ask a few questions about you and your plans for the day, and you’ll have the chance to ask me anything you like.
Make it official
If you like my energy and want to seal the deal, I’ll send over a booking form, which you’ll send back to me along with a booking fee. Once we’re locked in, the fun really starts…
Become best friends
Just kidding (or am I?). This part is all about building a relationship, so by the time we stand up there on your big day, we’ll feel like old friends.
I’ll spend loads of time getting to know you, both individually and as a couple. We’ll chat about your story, your relationship and everything you want from the day. I’ll also chat to some of your nearest and dearest - friends, family, whoever ya like - to get a full picture of you, your relationship and your life together.
Ceremony writing
Once I’ve got all the juicy details, I’ll get to work writing your ceremony. I’ll start around 6 months before your big day so that we have plenty of time for edits and changes.
I can also help you write some stellar vows if that’s something you want.
Getting prepped
Before the big day, we’ll run a rehearsal to make sure you’re totally comfortable with every element of the ceremony - either via video call or in person if there’s a convenient location.
The big day!
No surprises here - I’ll be there on your wedding day to get you hitched!
I’ll be the one with the folder standing at the front.
The debrief
Obvs. I’ll check in after the wedding to gush over how amazing it was, share stories and photos, and tell you how much I miss you.
Wedding Package
Weddings start at £950, excluding any travel costs. Below is everything my package includes.
Before the ceremony
Chemistry call: We’ll have a proper chinwag to get to know each other before we decide if we’re the right fit for each other.
Ceremony starter pack: When you book, I’ll send you a PDF with lots of tips, and different ways we can personalise your ceremony to perfectly reflect you. Something to get ideas flowing!
Couples quiz: I’ll send you both a fun quiz to fill out about your partner, giving me a starting point for content.
Calls together: We’ll have a longer chat, in person or over video call, where I’ll ask you loads of questions about your relationship.
Calls one on one: I’ll get to know you separately to make sure the ceremony reflects you as a couple, but also you individually.
Cuppas with your closest: I’ll ask you to put me in touch with some of your nearest and dearest, and listen to them gush over you.
Writing your ceremony: The meaty bit. I’ll write a totally unique, 30 minute ceremony that you’ll remember forever.
Feedback and edits galore: It’s your day, so we’ll do it your way. We’ll go back and forth until you’re 100% happy.
Help with vows: If you’d like me to give you some tips (or more hands on support) for vow writing, I’ll be right there to help.
Ceremony rehearsal: Ahead of the big day, we’ll run through the ceremony to make sure you’re comfortable with every element.
On the day
Help with any set up: I’ll arrive at the venue at least an hour before the ceremony, so I’ll help with ceremony prep and other logistics.
Doing the thing! I’ll be there, beaming, and will get you married!
No rushing around: I only book one wedding a day, so I won’t be rushing to or from another ceremony.
Afterwards
Your script to keep: I’ll create a gorgeous fresh version of your script, in keeping with your wedding themes and colours, as a memento of what a bloody gorgeous time we had.
Travel & logistics
I’m based in London, so there’s no additional cost for weddings in the city or within a 40 mile radius. If I need to travel further than that, or need to stay overnight in a hotel, we can discuss those additional costs as part of the booking process.
And if you want to fly me somewhere, I am IN. * grabs passport *
