Weddings
Your wedding is a wonderful, exciting, much anticipated event, and you want everything to be perfect.
Your special day should be tailored to you and your partner’s personalities and must be been written specific to you, reflecting your style and delivered with love and ease in an engaging, enthusiastic manner.
That is where I come in.
As a qualified Independent Celebrant, I work with couples, getting to know them in order to write completely unique ceremonies that are a perfect fit. We work together in the lead up to the big day to create the most unique ceremony script that represents the essence of your relationship.
I can also help you write vows, choose readings and music, or you might already have an idea of what you want, in which case I am there to help you weave it all into a beautiful ceremony.
If you would like to add symbolic elements to your day, such as hand fasting, ring warming, candle ceremony, sand ceremony, or any other ritual, these can be included. If you would like a unique symbolic element created just for you to reflect your life and values, I can do that.
The beauty of having a Civil Celebrant work with you is that the event really is YOUR day, no rules, no limitations just choice to get married in whatever
way you wish in any location you want from a beach or woodland to a castle!
As the person at the event who regularly attends weddings; I arrive an hour before the ceremony, to ensure everything is set up to your specifications and that the wedding is ready to run smoothly.
This is completely your day. I work with you to create the perfect ceremony entirely reflecting you as a couple. My role is to facilitate in a way that is modelled to suit you. Whilst I am enthusiastic, cheerful, confident, engaging, friendly, approachable and adept at running the room, I ensure the day is all about you, not me.
