Actually Miranda, not everybody wants this and not every couple should have a celebrant wedding ceremony!

Yep. I said what I said.

Not every couple needs a celebrant ceremony. Some couples are absolutely registrar people. In. Out. Lovely, little ceremony. Legal bit ticked. Let’s get to the bar. And honestly? That’s a completely valid choice.

But then there are *those* couples.

The ones who want their wedding day to be special from start to finish. Who want every bit of their day to be memorable or meaningful. Who don’t want their day to be lost in the blur of everyone else’s generic ceremonies.

The ones who want the freedom to create a ceremony that feels like them. Share their stories, humour and personalities or perhaps they want the freedom to marry in their back garden or on the beach where they met.

Those couples? They’re my people. 

A celebrant ceremony isn’t about being extra. It’s about starting your day in a way that feels so completely, unapologetically you that every single person in that room notices and feels it too.

Joy. Meaning. Personalisation - a ceremony that sets the tone for everything that follows…or even follows a drinks reception that’s gone before, because who says your ceremony has to even come first?!! 🤔

A celebrant wedding ceremony - it’s not for everyone.
But when it’s for you - oh, you’ll bloody love it. 💗

If you think you might be a celebrant couple? Do come & say hi!

…but I’m very busy behind the scenes and frankly I don’t have the brain space or inclination to do both at the same time!

The bit you see of a wedding celebrant is the tippy top of the iceberg. Most of our time is spent in front of a computer screen, especially before our busiest time of the year.

My couples will always come before a social media post so if I’m quiet here, just know that I’m still hard at work creating and prepping joyful and meaningful wedding ceremonies.

You can still enquire and message me about future ceremonies as I’ll always find time to talk about new ceremony plans.

Although I’ve already done a few ceremonies this year, my official wedding season kicks off properly on Saturday.

Let’s get these celebrations started! 💃🏼

I’m not saying that married love doesn’t get better and better because I think it does - it hopefully evolves into a much deeper and more meaningful love. And yes there are still days with massive rushes of love and a million butterflies. (Eg I unexpectedly bumped into my husband in Tescos last night and felt them!)

But let’s be honest - real, long term love is is not a straight line, upwards trajectory to a lifetime of domestic bliss. It’s not a fairy tale, it’s a choice you make every single day to choose to love.

When I work with a couple, I want to know the real you. Not the Insta, polished version. On your wedding day I tell real stories about you. It’s still flattering. I don’t air your dirty laundry! But it’s real and funny and emotional. I share some of the fabulous stuff as well as some of the bits that maybe didn’t go to plan.

I particularly love the stories that show that you’ve seen each other in the good, bad and ugly cry ways but still know that life is better with this person by your side and want to choose them every day.

Because that’s the love worth celebrating.

And here’s the info about my (slightly unsure!) comment at the end…couples who have a humanist ceremony are almost four times less likely to divorce compared to all other types of marriage*.

So if you want the odds to be in your favour - do get in touch to discuss your wedding ceremony with me!

“I only wish that we could do it all over again, just so that you could be our celebrant all over again!”

These were the words that Nikki said to me around 15 minutes after her, and new husband Mat’s, wedding ceremony.

I told her that I was going to quote her on that!

You can read all about their woodland, dancing, spiky twig stuck up my skirt ceremony on my blog! It’s a very special one.

So if you want all the feels on your wedding day come and say hello!

The one with the Italian!

I’ve studied languages all my life, so to get to use them in a wedding ceremony is an unexpected bonus. So far I’ve spoken Indonesian, Dutch and Polish during ceremonies (none of which I speak) so this was the first time that I was able to understand what I was saying!

Yes it caused a minor slip up when I said something in Italian and the Italian speakers started celebrating while the English speakers…did not! The couple laughed and had a big kiss while I internally cried. You can be sure that it will *never* happen again!

This was the most international wedding I’ve done so far - a British/Italian/Brazilian couple who live in Dubai and married in Somerset with guests from all over the UK, Malaysia, the United States, Dubai, Switzerland, Spain, Germany and of course, Italy.

So if you are looking for a bilingual wedding celebrant (Spanish, Italian and 30 years old French!) or someone at least willing to give your guests a welcome in their own language, then do get in touch!

As always, an honour and a privilege to be a part of this celebration.

This ceremony in two words: simply beautiful.

It was an honour and a privilege to work with these two to create their heartfelt yet lighthearted wedding ceremony. So much thought, time, care and attention went into this. It showed and it was felt.

It also brought into my life and took me back to where I also married, , for the first time in 11 years so that will always be a massive bonus too. I already felt *all* the feels as soon as I got out of the car!!

I’ll be back at Shustoke next month and I’m already excited as it’s such a special place ✨

Much love 🤍

One of the unexpected benefits of being a wedding celebrant is having the chance to reflect on my own relationship.

Sometimes I’m grateful that I have what they have and other times my couples have made me think on what we could do better/change or tweak.

Having a peak into so many relationships is an honour and a privilege.

Thank you! ✨
