For UK-based couples wishing to have a Celebrant-led Wedding Ceremony will have to split the legal and ceremonial elements of their wedding into two parts. They have a basic legal marriage at a Register Office, before their Celebrant-led Wedding Ceremony. Most major Register Offices call this a ‘Statutory Registration of Marriage’ and it’s the quickest, cheapest way to organise the legalities. A Celebrant-led Wedding Ceremony is symbolic, beautiful and personal, but not legal or binding.

If it means something to you, let’s include it in your ceremony! The best wedding ceremonies have fun and humour running through them, as well as the serious elements. I firmly believe that it’s your ceremony, and you own it. Friends, family, children or pets can play a part and, if you want to, we can get all your guests involved as well.

I am an independent celebrant, which means I am free to combine many ideas to create your perfect wedding after your legal marriage at a Register Office. Blending religious, secular, modern or traditional elements into your scripts, creating the content that best reflects your personalities and background. Often my couples have had a religious upbringing, but don’t want to marry in a formal ceremony.

I am always happy to meet with you at your venue, or at a mutually convenient meeting place, for an informal chat without obligation. I am available to meet evenings and at weekends, seven days a week. I will fit in with you, current bookings permitting.
-
As soon as your venue is booked and secured, you should book your celebrant to reserve your date.

The remaining balance will be due a month before your ceremony, when we finalise your wedding script.
The following cancellation fees apply:
1 month before the day - 20% deposit retained
2 weeks before the day - 75% of fee is required

I'll send you a fun couples questionnaire. This helps me get to know even more about you both. We will then schedule a meeting to go through your love story. Then I will get to work on your bespoke ceremony.
A month before the big day, we can take a final look at edits and final payment will be made.
We can then do script rehearsal either over Zoom or in person, once the ceremony has been approved by the two of you. Lots of couples choose not to rehearse so they can really revel in the magic and surprise of the day, but again this is your choice and is included if you want to.
We will stay in touch until the special day itself so that you’re happy and relaxed on the day.
