I met this wonderful couple only a few months ago and we just clicked over scones, jam and cream. My first wedding for 2024 and what a beauty it was today. @crystalhart28 you and your lovely Simon are such a divine couple. You epitomise what it is to be in love. You both fill my heart with joy. I was so thrilled to officiate your wedding celebration today. Your face when I sang at the end was a picture. Sneaky Simon!!! ###xBig thanks to the team at St Michael's Manor Hotel in St Albans. @emmahurleyphotography #smallworld

I can't wait to officiate your wedding celebration today. ###xAre you ready????? xx
What a wonderful day last Friday at Fanham's Hall in Ware with Beth and Wes. Their Love Story is unique. Their ceremony needed to reflect that. Best Friends. Soulmates in every sense of the word. Their choice of music was so beautiful too. ..

ONLY TWO SLEEPS til I’m back at Avington Park @avingtonp with the wonderful Alice Hudson @aliceatavington and @lucyannevents to marry a beautiful Burmese princess @jacquelineekoh to her Scottish comedian Gregor. I mean it … he’s very funny!!! The question is … what WILL he have on under his kilt??? Tell you Sunday!Luckily Millie Scott @pipemillie will be playing the bagpipes, not me. Phew!
AM I THE CELEBRANT FOR YOU?
If there is one thing that speaks volumes about my business, it’s the smile that welcomes to your congregation, it’s the warmth that makes you feel safe, and my energy that guarantees you and your friends and family a wonderful ceremony. Hang on, that was three things!!!
Am I the celebrant for you???
It was wonderful working with Heidi and Daniel, not only officiating their wedding, but arranging the music for them on the day. This involved editing their music to perfection, so that their entrances were timed, and ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly.
With a Disney theme present, I read the Closing Words over the introduction to I SEE THE LIGHT from "Tangled", which lead into the song. This segued perfectly into the more celebratory ENCHANTED SUITE from "Enchanted", as they exited to applause and cheers from their loved ones.
Music is such an important part of your celebration.
Take the time to ensure it all flows well.
It makes such a difference on the day.
It was so wonderful helping Heidi and Daniel plan the music for their wedding at Ashridge House last month.
With a Disney/Pixar twist, I edited together a version of I SEE THE LIGHT from "Tangled" to close the ceremony, leading into the
What a weekend.The build-up to this wedding was a truly exciting one, and extra special, as unbeknownst to the bride and groom, I had several secret poignant elements to include in the ceremony. Thanks to the bride's sister in Virginia. :-)
Dale and Teri were beyond a pleasure to work with. They chose the most stunning venue in Avington Park @avingtonp in Winchester, lead by Alice @aliceatavington Alice and her team, Pippa from @thewstudiostyle to plan and ensure the day's success, assisted efficiently by @lottie_em
Stunning flowers by @fionacurryflowers and the venue was filled with beautiful furnishings by Pippa, Spooney and her amazing gang at @thewstudio_bespoke Whoop!

When I first came into contact with the awesome Michelle from Class Act Production, we just clicked from the get-go.I've never laughed so much.
In the wedding industry, working with people who are on the same page, have the same work ethics, humour, attention to detail ... it's worth it's weight in gold. And the team she works alongside are exceptionally good at what they do!
To me, connection is about energy. And Michelle from Class Act has it in bucket loads. Looking forward to collaborating with Michelle and the team in the future. We've got some fab ideas and I am so proud to be affiliated with them.
It's going to be NO fun at all!!!!

I've Got You!
working with so many extraordinary couples at the moment, and each of them possess unique personalities and ideas when it comes to what makes for a fabulous ceremony. I just love guiding them through this process.
Most important thing ... as one of my grooms pointed out this evening (thanks Jay)... is to have a ceremony that is a true reflection of who you are, as individuals and as a couple. That's totally it. Nailed it!
If you'd like a wedding that is traditional, I have great respect for that approach, but with a celebrant you can have something sooooo personal. So you! If you want some a little 'extra' just shout. I'm listening.
I've Got You!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You know you've done your job well, when you get to the end of the Script read through, and your bride starts crying, which makes the groom cry too. Nooooo, don't cry!I'm writing a very special wedding ceremony for J&G who are getting married at Abington Park in Hampshire. @avingtonp Not that I want to make my couples cry, but having spent all day yesterday editing music, recording the closing dialogue over it so they could hear EXACTLY what the end of the ceremony will sound like, seeing them both well up this morning gave me the assurance that I'd done my best for them.
It's going to be perfect. I won't have it any other way.
