The Process
You may already have a clear idea of your special day or you may need a little help. I'll be your guide through the entire time from start to finish.
For couples who would like weddings or renewal of vows, they may choose to include traditional sections like religious readings or poems. Or symbolic elements such as a sand ceremony, hand fasting or other spiritual or traditional cultural rituals that are important to you as a couple or as a family.
As your Celebrant, my job is to get to know you both and your love story & include whatever you wish for.
So, I may ask you to complete a short questionnaire and then we'll have a chat. These are important pieces that will help me to create a memorable ceremony.

The Ceremony Script
To create each ceremony, it will take at least 25 hours of writing, dedicated research, consultative meetings and preparation before your celebration.As a couple you are all always completely different. So when I write a script it is from scratch, the script is based on our chats together over zoom or WhatsApp video and the quiz responses to the questionnaire sent out to you.
You decide what you want.
As your celebrant, my job is to get to know you both and tell your love story. My family have a great tradition of storytelling. I will weave your ceremony and your story together to make a day you won't forget.
Just remember that if you wish to marry in the UK, you will need to obtain your legal marriage certificate(from your local Registrar's Office) before your ceremony.
