Weddings
This is your love story and Celebrant led ceremonies mean there are no restrictions on the type of wedding that you can have. Whatever your beliefs, spirituality, or ethnicity, you can include traditional elements, modern twists, your own choice of music, fly wherever your imagination takes you!
We’ll begin with an initial consultation either in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom so we can spend a little time getting to know each other, this will give you the chance to ask any questions. We will then confirm and secure your date and time ensuring my commitment to you. I will then provide a detailed questionnaire for each of you to complete. Once they are returned, I can start to write your bespoke ceremony, sending you the first draft for approval. We will then spend some time fine tuning the details until it is absolutely perfect.
It will be my privilege to craft an exclusive ceremony script for your wedding Day. We will work closely together to ensure we capture the essence of your love and ensure your ceremony is as personal and as unique as you are.
You have complete freedom of choice, select music for the ceremony that means the most to you, choose a theme: fun, romantic, traditional, humorous, include symbolic elements such as Hand Fasting, Sand Ceremonies or Candle Lighting and best of all choose the day of the week and the time of day and the location, a woodland glade, a beach even a museum! I will only book one ceremony on any given day, so you are sure my entire focus is on you.
I am based in Staffordshire but cover Derbyshire and the West Midlands and I am also happy to travel anywhere in the UK to marry you, or if you if you would like the reassurance of an English celebrant at your ‘destination wedding’. My passport is up to date, and I am ready to fly anywhere!

Legal Admin
Births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales have to be registered. This is done at the Register Office of your choice, prior to the Celebrant ceremony.
For a marriage you will be asked two or three questions, you will need two witnesses, and this takes approximately 12 minutes and costs around £50.00 – £60.00
My couples consider their Celebrant created ceremony to be their actual Wedding Day rather than the Registry Office appointment.
More information on formal legalities (Notices of Marriage and signing the Marriage Register/Civil Partnership Schedule) can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-partnerships
Also note that if you live outside of the UK you can arrange and undertake the formal legalities according to the laws of the country you reside in.
Somewhere
Oh to be standing on a beach somewhere,
With sand in our toes and the wind in our hair…
And only the sound of the seagulls on high
On a beach somewhere, under a sunny blue sky.
The gentle caress of the waves on the shore
And you here beside me – could we ask for more?
A long pebbled beach that goes on forever
You, me and a beach, so happy together.
