On my way back, I stopped off at for a coffee, to find they were set up for a wedding open day! It's a lovely setup with a courtyard garden, a babbling river and beautiful wedding barns.

The cruffin at the coffee shop was amazing, but there was no easy way to eat it!

The prettiest commute I've had for a long time. I'm teaching out at a village school between Solihull and Coventry. Today's drive through the frosty foggy (froggy) countryside was a pleasure!

I had a lovely afternoon planning a ceremony for Michelle and Pete who run The Green Man in Long Itchington. It's a picture-perfect village, and the snowdrops and crocuses reminded me that spring is on the way!

People of Bearwood (and beyond!)

Last week I spotted a post from the absolute legend , asking for raffle prizes. The raffle is to raise funds for who do an AMAZING job in the local community with events, activities and support services. I'm delighted to be able to support them with a prize.

I'm offering a FREE CEREMONY to celebrate a wedding, civil partnership or vow renewal (worth £800), or a naming or welcoming ceremony (worth £500).

To get your tickets, head over to this weekend. The draw is taking place on Sunday 8th December at the Christmas quiz, held by that other Bearwood legend, .

The prize doesn't include venue hire, catering or any other additional services.

A celebrant-led ceremony isn't legally binding, but you can easily sort the legal stuff at your local register office.

You can gift the prize to a friend or family member if you like.

For more information, click the link in my bio.

GOOD LUCK!

Here's Michelle and Pete, my latest clients! They're celebrating their wedding next summer in their pub, The Green Man in Long Itchington, Warwickshire.

I camped at The Green Man this summer and had a lovely couple of days. Imagine my surprise when Michelle contacted me about their wedding!

It's going to be an outdoor, nature-inspired wedding in the picturesque field behind the pub. The pub is at the heart of the village so it'll be a real community affair.

Thank you Michelle and Pete for choosing me to celebrate your special day with you!

I'm blooming delighted to be included in the Eclectic Wedding Encyclopedia! 

Run by wedding industry legends Sassy and Jo (more about them later), EWE is the go-to listings site for anyone looking for something a bit different for their wedding. So, being something a bit different myself, I was super-chuffed to be included in the celebrants section. 

Sassy is a kick-ass wedding photographer. When my clients Justin and Richard asked for a recommendation, Sassy was the obvious choice. Jo is a ridiculously talented designer creating wonderful bespoke wedding gowns at .

Alongside the listings site, Jo and Sassy run the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza, a wedding show like no other! It's fun, vibrant and packed full of the coolest, quirkiest wedding suppliers you could hope to meet. And guess what? I'm going to be there! 

I can't wait to set up my stall and tell all those fab couples about my ceremonies! There'll be goodies, discounts and even a giveaway!

The show is on Saturday 21st January at Fazeley Studios, Digbeth, Birmingham. Come and say hello!
