What is a bespoke ceremony?
It includes a personalized script that tells the couple's love story amongst other special touches.
Here's Pete and Sandy's wedding blessing with a handfasting ritual.
Afterwards they're serenated with their wedding song.
It turns the ceremony into a celebration of their love.

He had no idea. 😲 She quietly planned it all — He found out on the sand. A full handfasting ceremony, right here in Corralejo, Fuerteventura.
Surprises like this are some of my favourite ceremonies to be part of. If you're thinking about surprising someone you love this way, I'd be honoured to help you plan it.

Helena wanted to suprise her Tim with a handfasting ceremony on the beach. My wife Claudi and myself prepared a table for them with their names on it while we hid and waited. The pictures tell how the story unfolded. Their review says it all as well

Where magic moments become lifelong memories

A sand ceremony is not only visually stunning but also a wonderful way to involve children. Here, 8-year-old Zac stole the show as both ring bearer and master of sand! Mum Vicki chose red, dad David chose white, and Zac proudly poured his green — plus a scoop of real local beach sand — into their keepsake vessel, now forever displayed in their home. 💛

They have been so kind to leave their review on Google, here it is:
We registered our marriage in the UK and wanted to have a beach blessing. We came across Eric by searching for a celebrant for our beach blessing in fuertaventura and his website came up so we could learn more about him and he sounded perfect for our ceremony. He communicated with us straight away and he was so personal yet professional and really wanted to get to know us and our relationship before we had the blessing. He communicated throughout and also with our photographer to make sure the ceremony was perfect and even done a sand mixing ceremony with us and our 8 year old son which was such a lovely touch. His whole speech was spot on and absolutely written beautifully and told beautifully, again including our son in it. We even exchanged rings which at last minute Eric still made special. The beach setting was picturesque and he really made us feel at ease and I'm so glad we did it. Thank you so much Eric for making memories of a lifetime for us.

Thinking of including a sand ceremony in Corralejo or on one of the beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura? Drop me a message!

had a lovely beach ceremony with this beautiful couple. They wished for a hand fastening to renew their vows and a few tears were shed while they tied the knot. They left a very praising review too!

We came to Corralejo 10 years ago for our honeymoon, so decided to visit again to renew our wedding vows on the beach. Eric was the perfect man for the job, a genuinely nice guy, and very chilled out, who took the time to get to know us and our story beforehand.

We had a wonderful hand fasting ceremony with Eric that was relaxed and personal - perfect for us and exactly what we wanted.

We also went to see him perform opposite the Waterfall bar a few nights later, it turns out he's an excellent guitarist too!

I honestly can't recommend him enough.
