Every couple deserves a ceremony as unique and beautiful as their love,
and one that matches their dreams, and is true to their personalities, values and cultural heritage.
Your Love – Celebrated Your Way
I would love to share your beautiful love story and make your occasion with family or friends, uniquely memorable.
Your loved-filled ceremony will be designed with you and for you – as individuals and as a couple – and can include your choice of spiritual and religious elements, rituals, poems, music and loving gestures.
Every script I create is crafted to share the unique love story of each couple and will be shared with heartfelt joy to make it a wonderful cornerstone of your future together.
As a celebrant, I love to connect and work with couples, so that we can create your perfect ceremony that expresses your priceless love for each other, whether that’s…
- the start of your loving life together with a non-legal Ceremony of Commitment or Wedding Blessing,
- to celebrate your continuing love for each other with a Vow Renewal,
- or legally pledging your lives to each other with a marriage or civil partnership ceremony.
Even though my celebrant-led wedding was over 26 years ago, I remember so clearly the excitement – and the stress of trying to negotiate all the planning – who to invite, where to have the ceremony, what was important to us and how to make it feel all about us and the love we shared.
And now, after over 28 years together, I still look back on our photos and our wedding script with a smile. It was such a special, love-filled day and I love reflecting on how our love has grown with us as we’ve made our way through life as a couple and as a family.
I believe that your wedding day is an important touchstone for your life as a couple.
It’s a special and unique day that you’ll remember for the rest of your lives. This is why it matters so much that your ceremony is written just for you and truly celebrates who you are as individuals and a couple as you take the next and joyful step into your future together.
