wedding ceremonies and celebrations of love
YOUR WEDDING. YOUR STORY. YOUR CELEBRANT.
Every couple is different.
Your wedding should celebrate that.
For centuries, weddings have followed familiar patterns. The same traditions, the same expectations, the same structure.
But modern relationships don’t all look the same. So why should modern weddings?
As an independent celebrant, I create bespoke wedding ceremonies with your love story at the centre. Through music, readings and rituals, you can celebrate and affirm your relationship however feels most authentic to you.
Throw away the rulebook. Let’s do something unforgettable.
Working With Me
As a wedding celebrant, I believe your ceremony should reflect what makes your love unique.
Want to include a ritual that honours your heritage? Let’s do it.
Want your dogs to walk you down the aisle? Why not?
Want a reading from your favourite TV show instead of Shakespeare? Perfect.
I’m a creative person down to my core, and I’d love to design a wedding ceremony that means the world to you both.
The Process
Get in Touch
Choosing the right wedding celebrant is a big deal. If you like the sound of my ceremony style, the first step is to get in touch so we can set up an initial meeting.
Get to Know Each Other
Once you’ve dropped me a message, we’ll arrange a call to chat about your vision, your vibe, and whether we’re a good match. If it feels like a good fit, I’ll reserve your date and you can start brainstorming ceremony ideas!
About six months before your wedding, we’ll meet properly (in person or over video) to dive into the details. Before this, I’ll send you a ceremony planning resource packed with inspiration, along with a questionnaire to help me understand your story as a couple.
We’ll use this meeting to go over the details, explore what matters most to you, chat about structure, and start to bring your ideas to life!
Get Creative
Once I know what makes you you, I’ll design a bespoke ceremony script that reflects your values and preferences, whether you want something simple and heartfelt or quirky and unique. I love delivering ceremonies that get to the heart of who a couple really is, so there are truly no limits to what we include!
If you’ve chosen to write your own vows, I also offer writing support and can work with you one-on-one to craft something meaningful to share with your partner, without any blank-page panic.
Get it Sorted
Your ceremony, your call. We can refine and tweak the script together until about a month before the big day, when we’ll meet one final time to confirm everything and go over the details of the event itself.
You’ll get a ceremony that’s exactly what you wanted, plus the confidence that it’s all sorted.
Get Married
I’ll be there bright and early on your wedding day to liaise with the venue, your suppliers, and any members of the wedding party that are involved in the ceremony. All you need to do is turn up and celebrate your love in a way that’s truly, unmistakably yours.
Wedding celebrant FAQs
What does a celebrant do at a wedding?
As an independent marriage celebrant, I work with you and your partner to plan, oversee and lead your wedding ceremony. You pick the venue, the theme, the music and the content, and I’ll bring your vision to life.
Does a celebrant legally marry you?
A celebrant cannot legally marry you, as celebrants currently aren’t able to officiate a legal wedding ceremony. Legal marriages have to take place in either a church, a registry office, or an officially licensed venue.
Many couples choose to get legally married by a registrar before their wedding day, and then have a bespoke ceremony officiated by a wedding celebrant.
Why choose a wedding celebrant?
Choosing a wedding celebrant means complete creative freedom. You’re not following a set script or ticking legal boxes during your ceremony, which means you’re free to include whatever feels significant to you both.
You also get total freedom with location at a celebrant wedding. So instead of having to choose a wedding venue with a marriage licence, your ceremony can take place anywhere that feels meaningful to you both.
Celebrations of Love
vow
renewals
Why should your wedding day be the only occasion where you get to celebrate your love? Whether it’s ten years or fifty years after you first got married, a vow renewal is a wonderful way to affirm your commitment to your spouse and share your love with the new friends and family you have gained over the years.
commitment ceremonies
Getting married isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But that doesn’t make your relationship any less worthy of a celebration.
A commitment ceremony is a wonderful way of bringing together your loved ones to witness an exchange of vows, without any need for the legalities attached to a wedding.
polyamorous weddings
Love is expansive, and every kind of relationship deserves to be celebrated.
If you’re in a polyamorous or
non-monogamous relationship, I’d love to work with you to design a ceremony that honours your partner(s) and your commitment to one another.
