Is it all about the Chemistry? ⚛️

Emily and Tom’s wedding at the stunning Kelmarsh Hall was the best interaction of traditional grandeur and modern joy.

Their ceremony was warmed with thoughtfulness that mixed all those heartfelt, eye-moistening moments with their own fun and down to earth perspectives on love.

Their original meeting in a Chemistry lab class, was a perfect symbol of these two: A magical combination of two elements that just work perfectly together.

Working with them to create a ceremony that truly reflected them was a delight, so happy first anniversary Emily and Tom and wishing you many more to follow 🩷

“Don’t let go of anyone’s hand” Tiffany Cabán

The world is feeling scary at the moment and the blame is being shone who those who are typically struggling most. Trans people especially need to know they are loved and protected. Hold the line. Don’t let go of anyone’s hand.

THE GLAMOUR ✨

Abbie and Joe’s story began with some wise words from Abbie’s mum when she started university:

“Don’t fall for the first boy you set eyes on…”

Enter Joe.

Sometimes you have to break a rule or two!

Abbie and Joe’s winter wedding was just epic and the Hollywood glamour was in FULL attendance 💋

These two made rain on your wedding day a GOAL as you can see in these stunning images from !

These two were just a delight and see if you can spot their almost-equally amazing doppelgängers in the last photo 😆

GATHER YOUR PEOPLE ✨NEVA AND BEN

It’s been far too long a wait for me to share these joyful images of Neva and Ben’s day.

Their hill top wedding ceremony had all the elements that make them tick and a gathering of the people that have nurtured them and brought them joy over the years.

Neva’s mum adding sage to the fire was probably the highlight I didn’t know I needed!

All that was missing were some actual bats to swoop over, given their love of these gorgeous creatures (but there were lots of bat references throughout the ceremony and the whole day).

A wedding all about connection- to nature, to community and to each other. Gorgeous 🤩

THE COLOURS OF LOVE ♥️🧡💛

Ami and Tom’s ceremony was glowing with the vibrant ribbon streamers all assembled by their own deft crafting, and the energy in the room was bouncing off each bright hue.

Throughout their planning process Ami and Tom knew that they wanted their wedding to be relaxed and just FILLED with their own personal touches and that was no more present than in their ceremony.

Their story glimmered with their sense of fun, their connection and their values and all the things that make them happy.

So, there was laughter and emotion and a brilliantly executed handfasting – the rehearsal paid off!

I can’t for the life of me remember what that laughter was about in the middle picture, but if you want a ceremony that feels like this and you’re getting married in 2026 (2025 is full now), drop me a line!

JEN AND SCOTT ❄️

What to do in that lull after Christmas to keep the good vibes going?

Marry the love of your life of course!

It was an absolute joy to be the celebrant for Jen and Scott just after Christmas and it was also my last wedding of 2024.

This cool pair met during a Christmas night out so it was only right that they kept those frost-filled twinkly memories alive with a ceremony written just for them.

Confetti shots are still my faves so I was thrilled they embraced the cold and let those fluttery paper snow blossoms fly!

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION ❓

If you are about to pop THE question this Christmas, before you start the standard process of booking registrars and licensed venues, take a moment to ask yourself a very important question.

What do we want our wedding to be?

If you care about the part where you make your vows and promises to each other and want to make your ceremony a bigger feature in your day,

If you want to make your wedding about celebrating your love and the life you’ve built together;

If you want it to be about bringing your absolute favourite people together to be there when you say ‘I do’ in a way feels right for you;

And, if you want to feel relaxed and excited during your ceremony, knowing your celebrant has spent time and effort crafting the words and celebration that fits you perfectly,

Then think about having a celebrant-led wedding and tell your venue that’s what you’re considering.

And check out my availability for 2026 - I’m only taking on 20 more ceremonies for 2026, so contact me to see if your date is still free and how I can transform your ceremony into something truly special!

⭐️ CHRISTMAS WEDDINGS ⭐️

It was around this time last December when Danni and Simon tied the knot in the warmest of midwinter ceremonies at Swancar .

They really wanted their ceremony to celebrate their own special blend…

⭐️ Their Welsh and English backgrounds (with all the good natured competition that goes with that!)

⭐️ The merging of their two families and rugby rivalries

⭐️ And their most special of fusions - their little boy Ethan who stole every heart in the room when he made his aisle entrance.

Their ceremony told their story with beautiful readings in Welsh and English, and so they tied the knot with red and white cords (plus a third green cord to represent Ethan), and their certificate had a very special witness.

The accompanying music from Danni’s cousin Jonathan on guitar really hit the brief and rounded off their warm, twinkly Christmas wedding 🎄

It’s as simple as that. Having a celebrant wedding means your ceremony choices just blossom.

✨ Traditional or something completely unconventional;
✨ At a venue that’s licensed for weddings or not;
✨ On any day of the week;
✨ At any time of the day;
✨ With the officiant that you have selected writing and conducting the ceremony;
✨ With words you are happy with;
✨ Using the names and pronouns that fit you;
✨ And hitting the vibe you want.

All that, and we GUARANTEE no rain or late RSVPs*

What more could you ask for?

*we cannot guarantee either of these things but we can help with planning around them!

ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF ✨

It’s World Celebrants Week so that means a celebration of all things CELEBRANT!

I’m a Humanist wedding celebrant based in Nottingham but I do travel all over and I seem to find myself in the lucky position of having absolute best couples to work with so THANK YOU if you’re one of them reading this now 🫶

Some things about me you may not know…

My dream job from a child was to be a writer and now I get to write the most beautiful, fun, hysterical and utterly unique stories for the couples I marry.

I’m a psychologist by training and for many years I specialised in the darker side of human nature so now I am just basking in all the shimmering love surrounding me!

You’ll never find me without… a hot-cross bun! Seriously, come wedding season, you never know when you’ll be able to re-fuel, so a sneaky hot-cross bun is my go-to pick-me-up.

If you’re getting married in 2026 and you’re looking for a wedding celebrant who can tell your story with a perfect balance of elegance and fun - get in touch!

Fabulous image by taken at the utterly fantastic wedding of and this summer.

SHIYU AND FEI 🌸

Are you worried about including children in your wedding?

When couples want a wedding ceremony that involves their young children, they’re often concerned that this will mean they either have to compromise on a sense of occasion and elegance, or lean completely into a child-focussed day where the wedding transforms into… well, a bit of a crèche.

So, for Shiyu and Fei’s intimate and elegant wedding ceremony at Wollaton Hall, we talked a lot beforehand about a balance between the joyful serenity they imagined for their day and the involvement of their gorgeous and unpredictable little ones.

In their ceremony, it was key that the smaller guests were involved and we decided on a ring warming.

Now, a ring warming with their *extremely* valuable rings being passed amongst small children did, I can tell you, require a lot of trust and a little bit of child-level explanation. But all went beautifully.

Shiyu and Fei’s personal vows, spoken in their own language and with skin-tingling emotion, made time seem to slow down for us all, just for just a few moments.

Utterly captivating.

There were, of course, lots and lots of light-hearted moments and the most beautiful accompaniment by (whose stirring strings just FILLED the amazing Great Hall).

For child-instructing skills in action see the 4th photo 😆
