J. Hobbs Civil Celebrant

A Civil Celebrant ceremony will provide you with a service that is unique and developed in accordance with your precise wishes, every step of the way. When we first meet, I’ll put you at ease, there’s no rules or regulations to abide by so we can plan your wedding journey together. By the time the big day arrives you’ll feel that your ceremony is being conducted by someone you know and trust. Starting with a blank slate we'll chat about your ideas and hopes for your; Wedding Ceremony, Vow Renewal Ceremony, Blessing or Celtic Handfasting. Together we'll create a bespoke ceremony that reflects the history, culture, quirks and character of you as a couple. By using wonderful words, eclectic music, mini ceremonies, friends and family input and of course your love story, I'll compose a ceremony that you and your guests will remember forever. Vow Renewal Ceremonies are organised for so many reasons, I don't consider a renewal any more or less important than a wedding ceremony. With me you're guaranteed a tailor made ceremony! You'll have the same freedom to choose the content, time and location of your ceremony, plus it's a lovely opportunity to celebrate your love alongside those who were there first time around and those who are new additions to the family. Blessings are a great idea if you've eloped, family & friends who feel left out can be appeased if they get to see a simple ceremony with comforting aspects such as vows, rose exchange and hand blessing. If you have spiritual side and want to embrace the elements and mystical aspects of the world, why not consider having a Handfasting. This traditional ceremony can be as authentic as you want it to be. Whether you want cloaks, candles, wands, besoms and blessings or just a selection of simple rituals such as; the tying of the hands or drinking from the loving cup, I will always create the marriage ceremony according to your exact wishes.
