How we’ll weave your ceremony together
Planning a ceremony shouldn't feel like a mystery. Here's the road map, from our first hello to the moment I welcome your guests, so you know exactly what to expect at every step.
The road map, from ‘hello’ to ‘I do’
-
1. A free ceremony consultation
Before you commit to anything, let's get to know each other a bit. We'll meet on a video call, completely free, to share thoughts and ideas about your ceremony. I'll probably ask lots of questions and I hope you do too. Let's see if we're excited to work together.
-
2. A simple contract and deposit
If I'm the celebrant for you, I'll provide a straightforward contract and a non-refundable 50% deposit secures your date. No jargon, no surprises.
-
3. Your planning meeting
Hopefully we'll meet in person, but if not a video call works beautifully too. This is where we start shaping your ceremony. Simple or ornate, rustic or refined, from here I'll carefully and thoughtfully start to bring your day to life, sharing plenty of planning ideas and resources along the way. We'll stay connected throughout the whole process by email or WhatsApp, whatever works best for you.
-
4. Tell me your stories
Next comes my couple questionnaire. Who are you? What has your path to this ceremony been, individually and together? I'm after insights and stories, quirks and superpowers. Fill it in together or separately, or we can simply chat it through together, whichever is more fun.
-
5. Your bespoke ceremony script
Using everything I've learned about you, I'll pull on the golden threads you've given me and write a ceremony that's personal, meaningful and unforgettable. We fine-tune it together and you get final sign-off on every word.
-
6. Your vows
It's not always easy to find the right words. I can offer ideas and, if needed, my writing skills to help you get your personalised vows just right.
-
7. A rehearsal, if you’d like one
If your venue can accommodate it, I can be on hand to run through the ceremony with you in advance. An additional charge applies.
-
8. The day itself
I'll be there early to check the space, liaise with the venue team, brief your wedding party and make sure you're both happy and calm. Then I'll lead your very special ceremony, the one we've crafted together with all its unique touches and personality, with warmth, care and confidence.
And afterwards
Let's stay in touch. If another moment in your story deserves marking, I'd love to help you honour it. Whether it’s the arrival of a new life, the blending of families or a farewell to someone cherished, I’ll bring the same care and creativity to craft a ceremony that feels just right for you.
