Together we will create a ceremony that is unique and personal and that represents who you are as a couple. We can meet either virtually or in person as much as is necessary before the ceremony; I can be flexible and understand the need for everything to be just right for your day. As an ex English teacher, I understand the importance of language so I am happy to write a number of drafts until the wording is perfect for you.
Fun or romantic, traditional or deeply personal, you can set whatever tone you like. On the day, I will have familiarised myself with the venue and will be there 100% to support you in your celebration of love.

Everyone loves wedding. Make the big day all the more special with a unique ceremony lovingly crafted and based solely around you and your story. Celebrant led ceremonies are 100% bespoke. We will have an initial meeting and then in the lead up to the wedding day itself, there will be periodic get togethers to ensure we are still all on the same page and nothing has been missed or left to chance.

Marriage is an institution steeped in history and tradition, but society is finally waking up to the fact that any couple is far more than just a sum of its parts. It is two unique people, becoming one, wonderfully unique couple. You are not an ‘off the peg’ couple, so why settle for an ‘off the peg’ wedding?

​Live musical tributes are very much optional but can add an extra dash of glitz to the day and of course, the choice of music is entirely up to you. Live instrumentalists can be booked in addition to live vocals, but additional charges will apply.

Everything you need! Initial conversations, all meetings in person or on-line, liaison with you and any other people involved in the planning. Unlimited email and phone updates, ideally a rehearsal the day before (or TBC), and obviously my complete availability for the whole of your wedding day ie I never have any other commitments or time constraints on your chosen date, so I am completely yours!
I have loads of carefully collected examples of readings, music, vows, hand-fasting texts, and much more - very happy to share to give you as much or as little inspiration as you like.

Renewing your vows isn't just about repeating promises - it's about celebrating how far you've travelled together and the deeper love you've discovered along the way.
Why Renew Your Vows?
Whether you're marking a milestone anniversary, overcoming challenges together, or simply want to celebrate your enduring love with family and friends who couldn't be there the first time - vow renewals are deeply meaningful celebrations of your continuing journey.
Anniversary Milestone Meanings & Celebrations
Each anniversary year has its own beautiful symbolism that we can weave into your ceremony:

Early Years (1-10)

1st – Paper: Fresh beginnings, blank pages to write your story


5th – Wood: Strong roots, growing together


10th – Tin/Aluminum: Flexibility and durability

Milestone Decades

15th – Crystal: Clear, brilliant, reflecting light beautifully


20th – China: Delicate yet strong when handled with care


25th – Silver: Precious, refined, and radiant


30th – Pearl: Formed through time, pressure, and beauty emerging from challenges


40th – Ruby: Deep, passionate, and rare


50th – Gold: The ultimate precious metal, refined by time


60th – Diamond: Unbreakable, brilliant, and eternal

What Makes Vow Renewals Special
Unlike your wedding day (which might have felt like a whirlwind!), vow renewals are about intentional celebration. You can:

Focus purely on your love without the pressure of legal requirements
Include children and grandchildren in meaningful ways
Choose any location that holds significance for your journey
Reflect on your shared experiences and dreams for the future
Celebrate with the wisdom that only comes from years together

What's Included in Your Vow Renewal Ceremony

"Wish Upon a Chat" consultation to explore your journey and vision
Completely bespoke ceremony reflecting your years together and future dreams
Anniversary milestone symbolism woven throughout (if desired)
Renewal of original vows or completely new promises - your choice.
Special unity rituals - perhaps recreating your wedding ceremony elements or trying something new
Family involvement opportunities for children/grandchildren to participate
Beautiful ceremony script folder as a keepsake of this special milestone
Unlimited consultations until your ceremony is perfect

Unique Elements for Vow Renewals

Memory sharing moments - honouring your journey so far
Anniversary stone or metal ceremonies incorporating your milestone symbol
Family blessing rituals where loved ones offer wishes for your future
Recommitment handfasting with ribbons representing your years together
Unity ceremonies with elements from each year you've shared
Themed celebrations reflecting shared passions you've discovered together

Perfect Locations for Vow Renewals

Where you first met or got engaged
Your favorite holiday destination
Your family home or garden
Meaningful natural settings - beaches, woodlands, mountains
Anywhere that tells your story

Your vow renewal should feel like the celebration of the incredible love story you've written together - and the exciting chapters still to come.

Ready to celebrate your continuing journey? Let's create a ceremony as unique and beautiful as your love.

There’s no set script, I will write a tailored ceremony based on conversations I have with you and your partner. I will also discuss with you and develop any ideas you may want to incorporate into your renewal, or indeed anything you wished you’d done at your wedding but didn’t and want to now!

If you’ve ever dreamt about a ceremony set to the theme of the movie “Titanic”, one based on the songs of Meatloaf or would prefer something a little more akin to a traditional style of ceremony all of these ideas and more can be part of your renewal if you wish.
