Weddings and renewal of vows ceremonies today are as individual as you are, and when you choose a celebrant to lead your ceremony then there really are no rules! You can draw on what’s special about your relationship and make it truly personal to you.
A celebrant-led wedding or renewal of vows allows you to choose the perfect location for you. It could be a castle, a boat, in a treehouse or back garden. Just let your imagination lead you to the ideal place to make your pledges to one another.
It’s entirely your choice whether you include religious or spiritual elements or hold a completely non-religious service. You might invite those closest to you to take part by reading poems or sharing stories, or perhaps perform a special piece of music or song.
A celebrant cannot legally marry you but the legal aspects can be done in advance at a register office from as little as £60, or sometimes a registrar can visit the venue of your choice on the day. The celebrant can arrange the ceremony to include a signing of a personal certificate for those all-important photos if required.
My Approach
My approach is simple. I listen and encourage you to get creative by chatting and having fun as we work on ideas together. Planning is also done through interim email, phone calls and Zoom along the way. Having run my own wedding music agency supplying musicians throughout the UK, I have a wealth of knowledge and connections within the industry to advise and assist on all aspects of the planning. I’ll write the ceremony well in advance for your amendments and approval and give you a beautiful keepsake copy a vow booklets to add to your memory box and share with future generations.
