The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.

Civil Partnerships

A celebration of your Wedding is a wonderful way to start married life. Once you have completed the 'legal bit' at a registry office, the way is clear to have the Wedding ceremony you really want! Make it totally yours with the music, the poetry, any spiritual, non religious or semi religious content that's really you. I'll work with you to find the vows your heart wants to say.

The Civil Partnership option is a beautiful reason to celebrate. Like marriage, the Civil Partnership 'legal bit' is separate to the ceremony. I can help you create the occasion of your dreams, with your choice of music, poetry, exchange of rings, vows, and whatever is meaningful to you.

A Commitment ceremony is a beautiful way to show your love for each other. If it is your choice not to make any legal change to your status through Marriage or Civil Partnership, you can create a beautiful and meaningful celebration of your love and togetherness.

Naming

Commitment

Welcoming a new baby into your life and your family is a joyous occasion, and well worth marking. Naming ceremonies are also a beautiful welcome for adopted children, or for older siblings in a family get together. Making promises of love and support to children is the most beautiful and meaningful heart of any family.

Family Blending

What a great and inclusive celebration a Family Blending occasion can be! When new partners, new parents, new children or grandparents come together to create a new family, a Family Blending ceremony can help everyone to feel truly included and valued.

Some occasions in life are just too important to let pass without the acknowledgement of a ceremony! Create memories and get to the heart of life with a celebration.

MEETINGS


An initial phone call is the best way to set up our first meeting either in person or by Zoom. If you feel I am a good fit for your ceremony we will book the date then and your deposit is paid. Then we get down to business and I ask you all the things I need to know to write your ceremony - your stories and memories, your hopes and wishes, your choices and intentions. I can make suggestions for readings, poetry, music and actions to make the ceremony uniquely yours.

I'll then give you a timeframe for my writing, and send you a draft script, where you can be sure I've got your details right.

On the day I'll lead your ceremony with warmth and empathy so that you can  be sure it's full of meaning and heart.

PLANNERS


If you have a Wedding Planner or a Party Planner, I am of course happy to work along with them to realise your wishes for the event.
