I am kind, calm and professional. I like to be organised and consider myself as inclusive.
I am always proud of the feedback I get after a ceremony. It is such a pleasure to know I have helped make a special day so memorable.
Don't leave things until the last minute and don't forget to breath! Oh, that's two tips : )
There are so many lovely personal touches but one that sticks in my mind is when the Groom sang a song that he had written for his Bride. She had no idea, it was a beautiful moment.
We start with an initial consultation in person or via video call, just to meet and chat about your plans and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to go ahead with me as your Celebrant, I will send you a questionnaire, asking you all about the exciting details and we will then have a ceremony planning meeting in person (this can be combined with a venue visit). I will ask you to tell me your love story and get to know you. I can help with readings, vows and music if you would like. I will then create your beautiful, bespoke and heartfelt personal ceremony script. We can have unlimited edits, emails, calls, video calls and a rehearsal at the venue. I will deliver your ceremony on the day and provide you with a ceremony certificate and a copy of your readings and vows.
Please note that a Celebrant cannot legally marry a couple in the UK. You will need to make separate arrangements for this with a Registrar but I am happy to discuss your options.
A surprise Vow Renewal where the bride had absolutely no idea what was about to happen......there were lots of surprises and (luckily) she was delighted.
I have lots of lists and check everything at least twice.
I love the whole ceremony, but if I had to choose, it would be the vows. This is such a personal and loving time for the couple and and its an honour to be asked to share it with them.
