What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
During COVID restrictions when couples couldn’t have all the guests or family at a ceremony. Our registrars got loved ones to email messages in as a surprise for the couple during the service. The messages where them printed into a booklet for the couple to keep.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
As soon as a couple make contact and wish to book we add them to our diary and explain the paperwork/ceremony process to them. We take a deposit to secure the booking and answer any questions they may have. Once they are within 3 months of the big day we make contact to guide them through organising their paperwork and to start planning how they would like their ceremony to flow. We would then keep in regular contact to discuss the ceremony and the plans of the day.
What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?
One couple decided to arrange their marriage as a surprise for their guests, they had all gathered for a party and the couple walked in wearing a wedding dress and kilt. Was amazing being able to help them make this possible.
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
By keeping in contact with the couple answering all the questions in as much details as possible. Having discussions over the phone/face to face/by email or even Zoom so that we can get to know each other well and have the plans for the day well organised.
