Weddings & Renewal of Vows
Where there is love...there is life
Mahatma Gandhi
Your wedding day should be a special reflection of your love for each other...a very personal celebration of the life that you are embarking on together.
My services are all bespoke and highly personalised to each couple that I work with. I am able to incorporate traditions and symbolic elements from a range of different cultures and varied parts of the world. We can share ideas to devise something together which is perfect for you and your vision.
Firstly, I meet personally with couples to discuss their own particular requirements. Ideally, this will be a face-to -face meeting but if required I can undertake it online. This informal conversation forms the basis of my service, which is written in full consultation with you. All loving partnerships and backgrounds are welcomed, valued and celebrated. I have a wide selection of poems, readings and music which I am happy to share and discuss.
Often, couples will wish to include special members of their family to play a particular role in the ceremony. I can make suggestions about incorporating children in a special and meaningful manner. Equally, I can provide guidance as to how to show respect in commemorating loved ones who are no longer with us within the ceremony in meaningful ways.
I spend many hours crafting your service so that it is exactly what you would like. Occasionally, one partner may wish to include a small surprise for the other within the ceremony. I can remain very discreet about this and not spoil the big reveal until the special moment! We can discuss these additional elements separately. I will send you a draft copy of the service for your approval, leaving plenty of time for adjustments to be made and for revisions to be successfully incorporated.
I will attend a rehearsal of your ceremony shortly before your special day at the venue to ensure that everything is in place.
After the ceremony, I produce a souvenir copy of the ceremony, including your vows, for you to treasure and cherish forever.
Many couples choose to renew their vows for a variety of different reasons. This could be to mark a significant anniversary, to mark the end of a challenging period or simply to celebrate continued happiness together. I work with couples to create similar ceremonies that reflect the wedding style to appropriately affirm your love and commitment towards each other.
