We will have a free consultation meeting to discuss your plans and what you want your ceremony to look like. Usually by Google or Zoom. After the meeting please go away and have a think. If you are happy with what we chatted about I will arrange the paperwork and contracts to sign electronically. I record all the choreography of your ceremony in a draft script. We will talk about who, when and where so I am fully informed of your plans. I am not the wedding planner but I want you to feel confident in all aspects of the ceremony. Things change. I do not want you to think we cannot change the ceremony at this point. I want you to feel confident and secure about your ceremony. I will perform your ceremony. Print off readings and your vows (if you need them). Present to you a personalised printed script for you to keep. I will then email an electronic version with any last minute changes which may occur. Most importantly you are paying for peace of mind. I love my work and enjoy working with couples to make their wedding ceremony special and unique.

David Allbutt Ceremonies Full Description
My name is David. Many thanks for taking the time to look at my details. I am an independent celebrant based in Manchester working across the Northwest of England and happy to travel. A fully qualified and trained Celebrant, training with the UK Celebrant and Professional Skills Academy, in the process I gained my Celebrant and Public Speaking Diploma, verified by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. I want to create for you a personal and unique script to celebrate your day. When we meet, I am thorough to make sure I capture details and I always ask couples if they are happy with what we have planned. The most important parts of a ceremony in my opinion are firstly, anyone attending would recognise immediately it is your ceremony. It is personal to you. Secondly, it is a documentation of your love story. It explains the journey you have taken as a couple and includes all those important people you travelled with along the way. I have a lot of life and family experience, which is a subtle way of saying I am getting older. I understand how difficult it can be to make time to plan, so I am very accommodating and can work at pace if needed. I tailor scripts to what you want. I hope couples find me friendly, warm and patient. I genuinely care about your experience. If for whatever reason you want something different to what we are planning, I always say tell me and we can make those changes. The ceremony is not about me, it is about you. I am a voice for your love story, you are the stars.
