Celebrant services - what’s involved?
Visits or zooms are held to understand the story to be told.
Then there is the crafting of the unique ceremony, including original poetry on occasion, the structuring of a well put together service. The telling of the story on the day with the right emphasis for the event. The addition of rituals and elements as required.
Kind and thoughtful caretaking of the clients throughout.
The sharing of the script as a memory of the event.
Weddings and other joyful celebrations
How do you wish to feel at the end of the day after your celebration?
That’s a good place to start when you’re thinking about how much of an investment a wedding, vow renewal or baby naming is.
So hopefully you will feel bursting with happiness, cheeks aching from lots of smiling and full to the brim of wonderful memories. That love has been celebrated just as you wanted.
To get this feeling, I would recommend you make your service truly yours.
Reflecting you and your partner or family. Small or large, quiet or lively, indoors or out. Funny, heartfelt, traditional or quirky all things are possible. There is only one you after all.
So get in touch and we can plan exactly the ceremony you wish for.

A celebrant is a person who performs ceremonies marking some of life's biggest milestones. As well as officiating weddings, celebrants often perform vow renewals, baby naming ceremonies and funerals. For weddings, a celebrant will create a bespoke, meaningful ceremony that isn't religious. The magic happens on the day but also in the preparation.
You will have:
A one-to-one consultation, usually in person (can be virtual as well) between 1-2 hours.
A researched and personalised ceremony which takes 6-8 hours minimum to create.
A follow up email outlining all we have agreed.
A reading of the draft ceremony in advance, so you can check it has the right "feel" and make any changes.
Questionnaires between now and your occasion for you to complete which make sure all the detail and special things are captured.
Depending on package, a venue liaison visit 1 to 2 hours or a zoom a week before to do a run through rehearsal.
Special ceremony elements, the number depends on the package you have selected. Choose a package to suit your budget and your needs.
My full attention on the day, I only book one event to officiate a day.
