Your questions, answered
Are Celebrant led weddings legal?
Although it's currently being considered in Parliament, Celebrant led weddings are not yet legally binding. This means that you aren't bound by certain laws with regard to your ceremony e.g. your venue doesn't need a marriage license for a Celebrant led wedding (you could have it in your own garden), and allows for a lot more freedom to have the ceremony you dream of.
It's a quick and easy process to legalise the marriage with the Registrar, which I will lead you though.
Can we write our own vows?
Writing your own vows is a beautiful way to make your own, deeply meaningful, promises to your partner. Its not always an easy task to put into words how much you love someone. The first step is to make your vows specific to your relationship. Don't be afraid to be light hearted and funny with your words of devotion. Say what you really mean, and mean it.
I can help with guidance for writing your own vows.
Are you LGBTQ inclusive?
Love knows no bounds.
I am lucky enough to have worked with people from all walks of life and I welcome the opportunity to meet new people. I respect every persons right to live their life however they choose and the ceremonies I lead reflect this.
All are welcome here.
Can we include our best friend?
Absolutely yes!
I love animals and firmly believe they make the best guests (although I'd struggle with a tarantula for a ring bearer!). Your pet is part of the family so they should certainly be at the ceremony, with a special job to do.
I'd recommend checking with your venue that pets are allowed. You may also be interested in pet sitting services that will care for your pet at your wedding before and after they play their part in your ceremony.
Can we have a non traditional ceremony?
The beauty of a Celebrant led ceremony is that you have the freedom to be different. Tradition has it's place but, for some people, it's just not relevant to their relationship. Remember, this is YOUR wedding day and it should celebrate what is important to you.
How far will you travel?
I am based on the Berkshire borders and cover Berks, Hants, surrey and their surrounding areas. I've got my passport, suitcase and sun cream and I'm happy to travel abroad (travel costs will apply).
I also offer a "script only" service. I will create the script for your wedding ceremony, for a guest of your choosing to lead the ceremony with. Please contact me for more information on the script only service.
