MY SERVICES
Celebrant
Your ceremony is the main event. It's the heart of your wedding day where you will make promises to love and care for one another for the rest of your lives.
Designing a ceremony filled with core-memory moments for you and your guests is no mean feat. It takes months of work and years of experience to make sure all aspects run smoothly. I guide you through each stage of the design process.
The end result? A wonderful experience that tells your love story, has lots of heartfelt moments, lots of giggles and happy tears, but most importantly, reflects you, your values and your style. Together we will create a ceremony that will have your guests talking about it for many years to come!
wedding consultant, Bridal coach & co-ordinator
The average wedding takes approximately 520 hours to plan! That is a huge project to fit in around all of your other life's responsibilities and it can feel overwhelming. Reports of bridal burnout are on the rise, especially in those last few months before the big day when your schedules get intense.
I offer guidance on all aspects of wedding planning, from helping my clients set a realistic budget to giving them ideas to make this special time in their lives even more spectacular! I also help to navigate complex family sensitivities and my 12 week programme for those final few months help my clients stay calm, connected and enjoying those last few months of being a Bride or Groom!
This is not a rehearsal. This is your life and you only get one shot at it! From that all important proposal 'Yes!' to on the day co-ordination I am here to support my clients each step of the way.
I want to make sure my clients' marriage gets off to the best possible start and that means making sure their wedding planning experience is a positive one!
what some of my clients have to say
What is a Celebrant?
A celebrant is a professionally trained individual with the skills and experience in place to design, create & deliver bespoke and personalised ceremonies.
A celebrant has no restrictions in terms of the content, format, location or style of a ceremony as you would find with a registrar or religious ceremony and can therefore be completely personalised.
From beautiful outdoor settings or unlicensed venues, to incorporating cultural, religious or family traditions, my clients really can have the celebration they've been dreaming of!
I have a great working relationship with members of Clergy & Registrars across the UK and they freely admit that the processes they are governed by don't always meet the requirements of modern day families.
More people want the freedom of planning an event that reflects them, their style and their budget which has seen a huge increase in celebrant-led ceremonies over recent years.
It also means you get to know your officiant on a personal level rather than have a stranger who's on shift that day officiate one of the most important moments of your life. I stay in touch with the majority of my couple's and its amazing to see the life they build after they've become spouses for life.
The Wedding Legal Bit
Do we still need to arrange our legal paperwork with our local registry office?
Yes, as is standard practise in many countries for a wedding, a couple will need to register their marriage to obtain their legal paperwork seperately to their big day. You can do this at your local registrar's office at a cost of approximately £50 depending on your local area which will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
As of 2021, registrars can also attend your venue for you to sign the paperwork. Enquiries need to be made to your local council registrar's office for availability and prices.
