“I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes,
in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”
Kiersten White
Love stories capture us all and celebrating love is one of the most joyous occasions in life.
Whether your wedding ceremony is for 10 people or 100, or it's an elopement simply for the two of you, I will work with you to create a unique and unforgettable ceremony, making memories to last a lifetime.
Vow renewals can be conducted at any time, for any reason, and can be beautifully crafted in such a way that is fitting for your needs or wishes at this time.
Anywhere, anytime
and for anyone!
I can conduct wedding ceremonies or vow renewals outdoors, indoors, at home or at an unlicensed/licensed wedding venue.
The place and time you wish to hold your ceremony is important and it’s your choice, personal to you.
Love is love, in all its forms. I am happy to create ceremonies for anyone to celebrate their love.
The most important thing for me is that your story is shared with those you love, in the way you want, that feels right for you.
What is covered by my fee?
You can call, text or email, whichever you prefer, and we will arrange an initial chat (no charge) so you can decide if we’re a good fit and my celebrant offer feels right for you
If it’s yes, I will send you my couples’ questionnaire to complete - this will help me to build a picture of you as a couple and inform my questions for our first meeting
We will meet, ideally in person, or online if that’s more suitable to chat through your responses and to get to know each other better - you can ask any questions you have at this time and we can discuss any rituals, concerns or wishes for your ceremony
I can help you write your vows, or write your vows for you, based on the information you share - of course you can write your own vows too, it’s your ceremony
I will share a draft of your script for you to consider and make any changes
We can have as many meetings as you feel you need and you can call me or email me with any questions during this time*
I will share the final script with you, usually around a month before your wedding
I will attend a rehearsal with you, usually the day before your wedding
Officiate your ceremony (as per the approved script)
You will receive a printed copy of the script as a memento
*Based on your wedding date and how long we have to plan, I will share a timeline so we have plenty of time to create something that you’re happy with.
What about the legal part?
Currently, celebrants in England and Wales are unable to perform the legal part of a wedding. However, it’s easy to ensure the required legal admin is done and still have the celebrant-led wedding of your dreams. This can include any readings you choose; religious/non-religious/spiritual; your choice of music; and any rituals, from handtying and candle-lightings, to community blessings and toasts with your audience.
To legalise your marriage you will need to give notice of your intent to marry with your local registrar, they will also perform the legal registration of your marriage and provide the relevant paperwork. This can be done before or after your celebrant-led wedding ceremony.
See my FAQs for more information.
What do I charge?
£695 - as mentioned above, the initial discovery call is free before you commit.
Then, a 50% deposit is required to confirm the booking and secure the date. The remaining 50% is due 8 weeks* before the ceremony.
I charge the same price for weddings and vow renewals, dependent on requirements. Drop me a message to find out more.
*If there is a short turnaround for the wedding this will vary accordingly and be agreed at the initial meeting.
There is a travel fee of 50p per mile for ceremonies more than a 30 mile radius from Leeds.
