You’re getting married! Huge congrats.
Here’s everything you need to know about a celebrant wedding, what’s included, and The Heck Yeah Process.
Weddings
What’s a celebrant?
In a nutshell: an independent celebrant is someone trained in creating and delivering completely bespoke ceremonies! Unlike traditional ceremonies, a celebrant-led one is all about YOU. Your script is super personal and written from scratch, meaning you can include your in-jokes, love story, fun surprises, and more.
Why choose a celebrant?
For all the reasons above! Typically, couples choose a celebrant because they don’t want a copy and paste wedding. They want a tailored ceremony delivered by someone they’ve built a relationship with. Whether you want a traditional day with a few twists, or something more alternative, I can make it happen. And with a celebrant, you’re not limited to where you can get married – the world really is your oyster.
The legal situation
Can I legally marry you? No. Can I give you a magical and unforgettable ceremony? Heck yeah! For more info on the legal ins and outs, head to FAQs.
How much does it cost?
If you want to say heck yeah in 2024, it’s £650.
What's included?
As well as all the support you need, you get:
The confidence of a fully qualified and insured celebrant
An in-person meeting (if possible!) to get to know each other
A special questionnaire so I can nail your script
Suggestions for readings if you’re stuck
Help writing your vows (I’ve got you)
Extra contact in the weeks leading up to your big day for extra peace of mind
My full attention and flexibility – I’ll only ever do one wedding per day
The Heck Yeah Process
1.
Let's chat
Pop in a chat over Zoom to find out if I’m the right celebrant for you! This is super relaxed, free, and no obligation.
2.
Get booked in
Hooray! I’m The One. To book me (and secure your date), you need to pay a 50% non-refundable booking fee/deposit.
3.
Questionnaire time
Unforgettable ceremonies need collaboration. At this point, I’ll ask you to fill out a couple’s questionnaire together. To create a sensational script, I need you to share your stories – the sincere and the silly. If we’re able to meet in person, I’ll also put some time in to gather any further snippets of wedding ceremony goodness.
4.
Putting it all together
With all this info, I’ll begin creating your dream ceremony – you can expect your first draft around 6 weeks before your wedding day. I want you to LOVE your script, so feel free to make any tweaks! I want it to be perfect.
5.
Showtime
The big day is finally here! I’ll be at your venue at least an hour before everything kicks off to calm any nerves, chat to guests, and make sure everything is ready before delivering your amazing ceremony.
