Blessing Ceremonies
Marking the occasion with a bespoke ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate your union.
Create a Unique Ceremony
People decide to have a Blessing Ceremony for all sorts of reasons; perhaps you married in a Registry office and now wish to have a ceremony that is more meaningful and personal to you both.
Or maybe you have had a Civil Partnership in the past and now want to convert to a marriage. Marking the occasion with a bespoke ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate your union.
You may not want a legal marriage but want to celebrate your relationship. Others have married abroad and want to include people who could not be there at the time.
There are many, many reason’s couples choose to have their marriages or relationships blessed, and whether you decide on a big event or something more intimate with a few people that you are close to, the choice is entirely yours.
Working With You
I will work with you to create a ceremony that is beautiful, moving and unique; interweaving those special memories and the history that has brought you to the day on which you celebrate your union.
By working together we will capture the essence of who you are as individuals and as a couple, creating a personalised ceremony that conveys your feelings for each other and celebrates your union.
A ceremony that is different from the norm, unique in that it is written with you, reflecting your personalities and beliefs, including everything that you want to say or convey to the world.
For your own reasons, you might not have told people about your marriage or blessing. Of course, I will not break the law, but I will always offer a completely confidential service and will not discuss your private information with anybody you do not wish me to discuss it with at your discretion.

About Celebrant Ceremonies
When creating a service or ceremony of their choice, many people are opting to blend something of their own character and personality with a bit of tradition.
More and more of us want to celebrate those special moments our own way or remember our loved ones in the style that suits them best.
In today’s more secular society, very often we are choosing to blend accents of styles and traditions that we readily identify with with our big occasions in life, which means that when we celebrate a new life, our relationships, rites of passage or the passing of someone that we love, we naturally look to our personal lifestyle choices and the values by which we live whilst still retaining the character and tradition of our heritage.
Traditions that can include elements of religion, spirituality, cultural values and the lineage and history that makes us who we are.

Frequently Asked Questions
We don’t want a pre written script, how can we have a ceremony that is about us?
Oh, there are so many ways… let’s face it, your relationship isn’t like anyone else’s and your ceremony should reflect your love and commitment for each other in ways that suit you.
We will work together to make it all yours, I will guide you through it and in the end the format is up to you, it doesn’t have to be a mass produced re hash, so don’t feel that you have to settle. There is nothing lovelier or more liberating than the freedom to create something beautiful, moving and all yours, so let’s do this!
Is my wedding ceremony with you legally binding?
No. If you wish your marriage to be legally recognised you will need to register your intent to marry at the Registry Office, telling them that you have already booked your celebrant and you just need a simple service to complete your paperwork and declarations.
Book a date that suits you with your local Registry Office, you will need two witnesses on the day. At the Registry Office you have to choose one declaration each from several legal statements, these are not vows, but legally binding words.
To make it easier, think of the legal bit at the Registry Office as your marriage, then the wedding is the more personal celebration of your relationship with me where you can make more personal vows to each other, wherever you choose.
So is the exchanging of rings a legal requirement?
No, you don’t even have to exchange rings if you don’t want to.
I can discuss alternative ideas if you wish.
Do I have to hire a licensed venue?
No. Celebrant led ceremonies can be officiated anywhere, which means that you can choose a venue or place that is special to you, indoor or outdoor, at any time of the year.
Celebrants are also much more flexible around time; I don’t charge extra for evening or weekend weddings.
Does my ceremony have to be in office hours?
No. Celebrants are not restricted by times or working days which means you can celebrate your relationship in a relaxed, informal way with no time constraints. Or, it can be as formal and traditional as you want it to be, the choice really is yours.
I have carried out many afternoon and evening ceremonies as well as day time ones.
Is it expensive to book a Celebrant?
No. My prices compare very favourably to a registrar coming out to your venue, but you get so much more, and the cost won’t change depending on day, time or if it is a bank holiday.
