This has to be Anna and James' wedding which was featured in Rock n Roll Bride ... they really went to town on personalising every aspect of their day starting with their ceremony which included a London gospel choir, a mid-ceremony surprise karaoke, both Mums delivering a very funny poem complete with actions, and giant confetti cannons exploding over them at the kiss finale. They followed a strolling jazz band to their village fete-themed reception where they played silly games and a tug of war, and performed a perfectly choreographed first dance later that night!
Caring - Creative - Professional - Proficient - Experienced
I am so proud to have had my several of my couples' weddings published on the popular Wedding Blogs: Rock n Roll Bride, Rock My Wedding, Festival Brides, Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, Mr & Mrs Unique - to name a few. It's so lovely to get the recognition and to see my couples photos featured in print!
Have fun with your wedding day and really try to make it as personal as you can - that way it stays memorable in your guests' minds for a long time. You'll ( hopefully!) only do it once!
Individual wicker picnic baskets for small groups of guests, filled with vintage crockery and cutlery, a blanket, a bottle of Prosecco and a selection of chutneys - guests then added to this from tables of breads, cold meats, cheeses and salads. A very relaxed picnic-style Wedding Breakfast!
Where possible we meet up first to see if we might be a good fit. I bring example scripts from real weddings to my couple consultations. We discuss your ideas and I make suggestions, before drafting and writing a ceremony script that is completely tailored to you in terms of spoken content, and as many ceremony enhancements as you wish. You might choose a unity ceremony such as candle lighting, or sand pouring, or a hand-fasting element to your ceremony. These are poignant moments remembered by your friends and family and make incredible photo opportunities too. With experience of many different ceremonies I am well placed to advise on stage management and the look and feel of your wedding ceremony, and offer a rehearsal as standard in my fee.
I am currently working with a lovely couple who wish to have their cat involved as a Bridesmaid in their wedding ceremony - on a lead!
I always rehearse and practice the ceremony with my couples - this really helps settle any nerves and ensures everyone knows their role, and where they're supposed to be at any given time. I like to think my calm professional approach helps during this process.
I love that I get to work with so many truly lovely couples and their families - it really is a pleasure and a privilege to do this and call it a job!
Seeing all the happy smiling faces of family and friends gazing on as my couple say their wedding vows to one another - that's priceless.
