Your Ceremony, Your Story
I’m Lisa Cooper, and at Tip Your Hat, I believe that your ceremony should be as unique and beautiful as your love story. I’m here to help you move beyond the standard script and create a celebration that is a true reflection of your journey together. As an independent celebrant, I have the joy of helping you create a ceremony with no limits on time, place, or style. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s a personal collaboration to craft a moment that is authentic to you.
What We Offer
I offer a professional and warm service focused on crafting a ceremony that is uniquely yours. Here’s what sets us apart:
A Personal Connection: I start with a friendly, no-obligation chat. My goal is to get to know you as a couple—your story, your values, and your vision for the perfect day. This personal connection ensures your ceremony feels genuine and heartfelt.
Fully Tailored Script: I will write a custom ceremony script from scratch, based entirely on our conversations. This includes your personal love story, a special welcome to your guests, and the promises and vows you wish to share. I will support you through every draft to make sure it’s perfect.
Expert Guidance: As a qualified celebrant and business owner, I will guide you through all the options for your ceremony. Whether you dream of a traditional ring exchange, a unity candle, a handfasting, or a custom ritual, I can bring your ideas to life.
Words That Last a Lifetime: As a published poet and writer, I have a special passion for the power of words. I will help you craft vows that are truly moving and create a ceremony script that is beautifully written and memorable.

Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding was a beautiful surprise. The couple, with their two children, had planned a small, intimate ceremony. Halfway through their vows, they both turned to their kids and, with tears in their eyes, said personal vows to each of them. It was such a beautiful testament to the family they were already a part of, and the room was filled with so much love.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Professional, approachable, sincere, classic, comfortable.
What about your business are you most proud of?
We are most proud of the vision behind our business. We set out to create a company dedicated to honouring life's milestones with authenticity and joy, and we've done just that. It's incredibly rewarding to see our passion for celebrating others come to life through every ceremony we write and perform.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
The wedding day is filled with so many details, but the ceremony is the reason for it all. Make sure it's a true reflection of you as a couple, filled with your story and personality. That’s the moment you'll cherish forever.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I'm always moved by a surprise element. I once saw a groom finish his vows by saying a separate, heartfelt vow to his new stepdaughter. The love in that moment was so powerful and genuine, and it was a beautiful testament to the new family they were creating.

Our Typical Process
Our process is designed to be a fun, collaborative, and stress-free journey, ensuring your ceremony is exactly what you envision.
Step 1: The Free Consultation
It all starts with a friendly, no-obligation chat. This is our chance to get to know each other, hear about your love story, and discuss your vision for the perfect ceremony. We'll answer all your questions and see if we're the right fit for your special day.
Step 2: Getting to Know You
Once you decide to move forward, we'll dive deeper. Through a relaxed and open conversation, we'll uncover the moments, memories, and little details that make your relationship unique. This is the foundation for crafting a truly personal ceremony.
Step 3: The Collaborative Creation
I will create a completely bespoke ceremony script for you from scratch, based on all of the wonderful stories we've shared. You'll have the opportunity to review, revise, and approve the script until it's absolutely perfect. Your ceremony is a collaboration, and your voice is key.
Step 4: The Final Touches
As your wedding day approaches, we'll finalize all the details. We'll discuss any personal elements you want to include and go over the plan for the day to ensure everything runs smoothly. We can also arrange a rehearsal so everyone feels confident and ready for the ceremony.
Step 5: Your Celebration
On your wedding day, my role is to bring your story to life. I will arrive early to ensure everything is perfect and then lead your ceremony with warmth and sincerity, allowing you to relax, be present, and enjoy every beautiful moment.
What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?
I was asked to plan a ceremony that was a complete surprise to the guests! The couple hosted a "birthday party" at a beautiful venue, and in the middle of the party, they announced it was actually their wedding. It was a fun, joyful shock and a celebration that was a true reflection of their personality.
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
My main goal is to ensure you feel completely at ease. I do this by:
Open Communication: I'm here for you from our first chat to the moment you walk down the aisle. We'll have as many meetings and phone calls as you need to feel confident and calm.
The Perfect Script: We will work together on your ceremony script until it is absolutely perfect, with no last-minute surprises. This way, you can relax, knowing every word is a true reflection of you.
Professional Coordination: On the day itself, I will take care of the ceremony logistics, including coordinating with your other suppliers, so you can focus on being present in the moment and enjoying your celebration with your loved ones.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
What I love most is the honour of being a part of someone's story. Getting to sit down with a couple and hear about their journey—the little moments and the big ones—is an incredible privilege. I love weaving those personal stories and emotions into a ceremony that is not only unique but also truly heartfelt. Seeing a couple's face on their wedding day, full of joy as their love story is told, is the most rewarding part of my job.
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
My favourite moment is always when I pronounce the couple officially married. In that instant, they turn to face their family and friends, hand-in-hand, with the biggest smiles on their faces. The cheers, the energy, and the pure joy in that moment are absolutely infectious. It's the perfect culmination of all their love and planning.
