I create ceremonies by listening (and I mean really “listening”) to the wishes and values of each couple or family.
I work with my clients to deliver services that focus totally on their needs and beliefs rather than my own. Services can be totally non-religious, although I’m happy to include prayers, religious readings and hymns if required.
I talk to you to make sure I’m the right celebrant for you
I send a booking form , you sign and return and pay the deposit
We arrange a meeting,
I take notes as I listen and ask questions to gather information and get to know you
I think about what you have said!
I offer suggestions for music, readings, inclusion of participants, nice rituals and extra facilities such as webcasts, p/a’s, and orders of service
I think about what you have said!
I write the ceremony and read it with you to make any corrections or edits
I send it to you for approval and final changes
You pay the balance on approval or no later than 1 month before.
I call you a day in advance to check arrangements and send a final draft to a third party in case of unforeseen circumstances (I have a large network of local celebrants in case of accident or illness)
I arrive at least an hour in advance and remain for 10 minutes after the ceremony, leaving you with a beautiful keepsake script
I contact you a few days after the ceremony to check everything was as you wanted it
