"The ceremony was everything we wanted, everything we'd been waiting for"
My journey as a celebrant began from a simple belief: life's most significant moments deserve to be honoured in ways that are as unique as the people experiencing them. This philosophy guides everything I do—from our first conversation through to the final moments of your ceremony. I believe the ceremony planning process should be as enjoyable as the day itself.

David helped us tell the world our love story

We had an amazing wedding and we want to thank David so much for his huge part in it. The ceremony was everything we wanted, everything we'd been waiting for. It was quite simply perfect. And so many guests commented to us afterwards that it was the most personal, intimate ceremony that they'd ever been to!

Thank you David

Thank you David for helping us put together a beautiful Ceremony for our Wedding Vows Renewal on 15th October. Truly a day to remember. And for the amazing photographs you took of our celebration. An excellent service which we highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish! Worked with us both to create a beautiful ceremony. I didn’t think we had a ‘love story’ or ‘special story’ to tell, but David changed our perspective and wrote/spoke it beautifully! Nothing but compliments towards David afterwards. Thank you so much David, 1000% recommend! 🤍

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Each couple's journey is authentically unique, which is why I approach every ceremony with a fresh perspective. While I've had the privilege of creating bespoke celebrations for many wonderful couples, I find value in each new story. I meticulously listen to understand your relationship's distinct qualities, ensuring your ceremony remains as compassionate, inclusive, and meaningful as your love story itself. This allows me to craft something that truly resonates with who you are together.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Bespoke | Meticulous | Compassionate | Inclusive | Authentic

What about your business are you most proud of?

I personally craft and deliver every aspect of your ceremony with meticulous care. From our first conversation to your special day, this bespoke approach ensures an authentic reflection of your unique story. I am compassionate throughout the process creating a genuinely inclusive experience where every detail is thoughtfully considered. It's not just a personal touch—it's your story, told your way

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ask questions. Think about what you want to experience on the day of your ceremony, what you want it to feel like for both you and all your guests. The questions should help you to paint a picture of the day.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

There have been many. I love when couples invite a member of their family, whether it be a child, parent or fur-baby! to take part and share in the experience.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My approach begins with truly getting to know you both. During our initial conversation, I'll listen carefully to understand your vision, your story, and what makes your relationship unique. This isn't just about planning a ceremony – it's about capturing the essence of who you are together.

After we meet, I'll craft a completely customised ceremony draft that reflects your personalities, values, and wishes. Nothing template or generic – this will be distinctively yours. You'll have plenty of opportunity to review and refine until it feels absolutely perfect. Throughout our journey together, I'm here as your guide. Whether you're looking for inspiration for meaningful rituals, help with writing personal vows, or advice on creating the right atmosphere, I'm just a call or email away. My couples often tell me how reassuring it is to have someone handling all the ceremonial details with such care.

On your wedding day, I'll arrive early to ensure everything is prepared. Then, I'll lead your ceremony with warmth and professionalism, creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can truly be present in each moment.

My goal is simple: to create a ceremony that feels authentically "you" – one that moves your guests, honours your journey, and gives you a beautiful foundation for the next chapter of your lives together.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?

When creating unique ceremonies nothing is unusual!

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

Meticulous relaxed planning, thoughtful organisation, and authentic attention to detail are the foundation of a truly stress-free celebration. I believe your ceremony should be more than just an event—it's a bespoke experience that begins from our first conversation. By taking an inclusive, compassionate approach to the entire journey, I ensure you'll enjoy not only your special day but the entire planning process leading up to it. This allows you to be present for each moment, creating meaningful memories while I handle the ceremonial elements with precision and care.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

The trust placed in me to conduct a ceremony about your love! it is such a privilege.

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

Just before the ceremony is about to start and everyone is in place ready to go. You see for a brief moment how all the plans have come together. It genuinely feels like conducting an orchestra. Creating a beautiful sound and feeling a genuine emotional connection.
