Wedding Celebrants in Yorkshire

We'll talk, online and/or in person, as often as we need. Gradually, between us, we'll build up a plan of everything that will happen - from entrances, to music, to words, to rings, to different symbolic gestures, to where we'll all stand. I'll learn about your life and your values and write a ceremony that tells your story and guides you through making your promises to each other. You'll be in complete control and will always be able to edit or change anything... and, if you want, I can keep bits of it as a surprise for you. We'll often meet up at the venue the day before to check everything's ok. And then, of course, I'll come on the day with my best speaking voice and conduct proceedings!

As well as crafting and leading unforgettable wedding ceremonies, I can also stay on to be your Master of Ceremonies... basically your friendly hype man, and professional people herder for the rest of the day!

I’ll keep things running smoothly and stress free, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Need someone to welcome guests to the reception? That’s me. Introduce speeches with just the right mix of humour and heart? Yep. Announce the cutting of the cake, the first dance, or herd everyone outside for that big group photo without causing a stampede? I’m on it.

You get all the polish of a pro host with the personal touch of someone who already knows you and your vibe... and your guests won’t miss a thing (except possibly the canapés if they’re not paying attention).

For couples who love those extra special touches, my Magic Touch Deluxe Keepsakes and Presentation Box is the cherry on the wedding cake. It’s a beautifully curated collection of keepsakes from your ceremony, all wrapped up in a stunning presentation box you’ll treasure forever. Inside, you’ll find your full wedding script, lovingly hand-bound and printed on luxury linen paper - a true heirloom piece.

There are also handcrafted vow cards for you to keep or read from on the day, a plaited hand fasting cord adorned with charms, and a rustic clay heart personalised with your names and wedding date, tied with twine for that perfect finishing touch.

And to top it all off, a personalised bottle of bubbly, because let’s be honest, everything’s better with champagne. It’s sentimental, beautiful, and totally unique to you... a little bit of magic to remember the moment by.

Are you looking for a personal ceremony that is warm and welcoming as well as meaningful and memorable? You are in the right place!
The first step in the process is a written questionnaire and once you have completed this, we arrange a meeting (virtually or in person) to discuss and for me to find out more about you, your story and suggest ideas for your ceremony. This typically takes 2 to 3 hours. I then go away and write the ceremony and you get to see it and make any edits you wish before I come and deliver it on the wedding day itself.

We'll talk, online and/or in person, as often as we need. Gradually, between us, we'll build up a plan of everything that will happen - from entrances, to music, to words, to different symbolic gestures, to getting friends or family involved, to where we'll all stand. I'll learn about your life and your values and write a ceremony that tells your story and guides you through reaffirming your love and partnership for the future. We'll make sure it truly celebrates the life you've built together and your continued commitment to the next stage. You'll be in complete control and will always be able to edit or change anything... and, if you want, I can keep bits of it as a surprise for you. And then, of course, I'll come on the day with my best speaking voice and conduct proceedings!

A romantic and intimate ceremony for just the two of you. If you are getting married just the two of you (perhaps with a photographer and/ or videographer) then I offer a bespoke Elopement package. You each share your story and inputs with me and I write a beautiful, personal ceremony for you to share together on the day. You still get the same service as my full package with symbolic acts and unlimited edits included, there is, however, less coordination required and everything is centred around you two with no guests so it is much more intimate :-)

Having a celebrant allows you to personalise your elopement ceremony, so every single one is entirely different and devised with you in mind. It can incorporate a range of symbolic elements to make sure it reflects your personalities and what is important to you, as well as being sincere and heartfelt. With me, I’ll have worked closely with you in the lead up to the big day to make sure it is ‘just so’ and you will have somebody who genuinely cares about you leading your ceremony. And let’s not forget…with a celebrant you can have your elopement ceremony absolutely anywhere, indoors or outside, at any time - the choice is entirely yours!

So, how does my process work? Following an initial introduction call and booking, I will email you several documents to help prepare you for the planning process - these include questions to consider for your ceremony and inspirational ideas.

A few months before your ceremony date, we will meet (preferably) in person, allowing me to find out all about you and your journey together. We will also discuss the finer details of the ceremony and how you want it to look.

Following this planning meeting, I will then draft your script and send to you for approval. It is really important to me that you are happy with your ceremony script; once you've read through this first draft, you can make suggestions of changes and amendments which I will happily edit so everything is 'just so.'

A few days before your ceremony date, we will have a catch up call to iron out any final details, ask/answer questions and I can talk you through the ceremony, easing any early nerves!

On the day, I will arrive with plenty of time to help prepare and - having delivered a beautifully heartfelt and personalised ceremony - I will leave you with a special keepsake script.

I have a free consultation to find out whether I’m in the Celebrant for you and tell you all about what I do. If you book, you will receive a booking form which, once your deposit has been received will be followed by the questionnaire to find out a little bit more about you and what you want from your wedding ceremony. When you’ve completed your questionnaire and returned it, we will set a date to get together to discuss final details and plan the ceremony. We talk about all the options, including unity ceremonies, such as handfasting, wine and sand Ceremonies etc if required, poems, personal touches etc. I’ll then write everything up and send it to you for your approval or edits. We’ll also arrange a read-through to ensure everything is accurate. If you'd prefer to receive the script in writing, this will be provided once the balance is paid, one month before the ceremony. This still allows time for any final adjustments if needed. On the day, I arrive about an hour before to prepare for the ceremony. I include a beautiful bespoke design for your commitment certificate, vow, poem booklets and keepsake script. Unity ceremonies can also be designed to coordinate. I also dress in keeping with colours and themes of your day.
