I was a wedding planner for a number of years and have been a Celebrant for just over 8 years. Deciding to become a Wedding Celebrant is one of the best decisions I've ever made and happily I've won a number of awards for doing a job I absolutely love! I've always enjoyed writing, so to be able to write my couples love story and their entire ceremony, is brilliant. For info... a Celebrant is someone who will write, produce, direct and perform a totally bespoke ceremony. Your ceremony may be performed anywhere of your choosing without any documentation or legal paperwork. You still need your legal paperwork from the Registry Office (this takes about 10 minutes). Initially we'll have a chat via zoom or in person to introduce ourselves and find out a little more about each other. We'll then meet in person and discuss your ideas and the type of service you would like. A traditional one - similar to a church wedding, with or without religious content . With a Celebrant ceremony, you can include prayers or religious readings if this is something you wish to do. Or you may want have something completely different.. The main element is Your Story - how you arrived at this point in your lives and this should be fun as well as reflecting your love and commitment to each other. I write everything and that's why it is such a personal ceremony, I love taking your guests through every emotion, laughing, possibly a little cry and always lots of smiles. This is all about the two of you and we work together as a team to make your ceremony perfect! My fee includes as many meetings as required, changes to your script right up to your wedding day, all travel, a rehearsal and of course, conducting your ceremony. Just pop me a message and we can arrange a chat!
