Ceremonies & Services

Let me help you create your vision.

I will write and conduct a bespoke ceremony which represents you both as individuals, but also shows your harmony and unity as a couple.

You may want to include religious elements or none at all. Remember, it's your day! 

Include your family traditions, heritage, favourite music. Write your own vows or let me help you.

There's no limit to your imagination when you're planning your special day.

​

If you need an extra helping hand, I'm also available to stay on after your wedding ceremony to act as your wedding host. I'll introduce the speeches, announce the cutting of the cake, the first dance and help your photographer gather in the guests for the all-important picture opportunities.

 

Please see my price list for all the details. 

A vow renewal ceremony is a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm your love to one another.

There are no restrictions on vow renewals so it can take place anytime, anywhere to suit you. 

​

Relive those precious moments of when you first met, the engagement and all the fantastic memories you've made as a couple.

Walk down the aisle again in front of all your guests or keep things intimate.

 

However you choose to do it, I'll be there to guide and support you. 

Would you like to show your love to one another without having to do the legal paperwork?

A commitment ceremony or blessing is a wonderful way of celebrating your love, and it can still be very similar to a wedding ceremony if you wish.

Exchange rings, share promises and invite guests to share in the moment. 

​

A symbolic element, like the lighting of candles or planting a tree could be incorporated to mark this joyous celebration.

I'd be happy to design a symbolic element that relates specifically to you too. One of my favourites was a Lego house building where all the congregation were involved.

A naming ceremony is a wonderful way of welcoming a new baby. It can also be a lovely occasion to welcome step or adoptive children into the family.

Parents, relatives and friends can all be involved and the ceremony can be wherever you like. Whether that be at home in the garden, a favourite restaurant or a community hall. The choice is yours and that's not just with the venue. You can select music, readings and symbolic elements for a truly unique day. 

If you have a trusted family member or friend that is willing to conduct your ceremony then you might just need a script for them to perform.

If that's the case then I can pen a beautifully bespoke service that has the professional touch and a bit of  Celebrant SJ magic. Then all you have to do is give it to your trusted friend or family member... and away you go! 

Perhaps you want to write your own ceremony.

Maybe there is someone in your circle that is willing to do it but they don't know where to start. That's where I come in. 

 

I have been doing this job for quite some time now, so I am perfectly placed to give you that all important advice on how to write the ceremony of your dreams. With my wealth of experience I can give you a ceremony that represents you both in a way that reflects the people you are. 

​

We can chat via video call or meet up for a brew (and cake!) to talk it all through.

If you have something already that you need proof reading, it would be my pleasure to cast my keen celebrant eye over it and give some pointers.
