Wedding & Civil Partnerships
Congratulations!
What an adventure you're about to embark on as two amazing individuals unite to become a couple!
Following your legal joining you are ready to plan a wedding day which completely and wonderfully embraces who you are, your love and commitment to each other and immerses your friends and family in an occasion which will be remembered for years to come...
...and I would love to help you!
As your celebrant we would work together to plan a ceremony totally bespoke to you, to reflect and celebrate who you are as individuals and as a couple. The joy of a celebrancy celebration in that the only limits are imagination (well, maybe budget as well!) but if you want to get married on a beach, go for it! A forest? Why not! An ancient ruin? Theatre, football pitch or in your own back garden, it's no problem!
We can find music, verses, readings or rituals perfect for the occasion, if you want to include traditional readings you can and again your vows can be traditional or completely bespoke (I'll help you create them too, if you wish). We can include symbolic customs like 'ring warming', 'unity candle ceremonies' or 'hand-fasting' to ensure that everyone present feels a part of the whole, immersed and included in your love for each other sharing their hopes and good wishes for you both!
We'll work together every step of the way to create the perfect ceremony.
*Please note that to be legally married in England and Wales, it is a requirement that couples have undertaken a statutory ceremony at their local registry office, witnessed by two people.
