"Let's get lost into the white fields"
I absolutely loved my first time @whitesykefieldsweddings near York last month. This venue is right in my sweet spot; a funky, chilled out barn venue with splashes of bright colours and a team who couldn't be more helpful and on it π
It was also a great fit for K & A, not purely because White Sykes is also a potato farm supplying to Walkers, and K's maiden name was Crisp (hence the crisp themed tables) but also because she and A like to have fun (see if you can spot some references to A's sense of humour in this montage) and wanted a laid back vibe which all their guests, including dogs of honour, Frank & Cleo, would feel welcomed and relaxed.
Their ceremony was, of course, in keeping with all of that, including welcomes in both Welsh and French and plenty of jokes and laughter π
I really hope to be back there next year or beyond, so if you are looking for a celebrant, look no further and book a connection call with me to find out more!

𫧠You are creating all the bubbles at play π«§
There are some things that are simple pleasures in life, crunching crispy autumn leaves under foot, a baby's laughter, blowing bubbles π
Sometimes, as humans, we can overcomplicate things and forget the simple things that make us truly happy π
A wedding day can be a bit like that. You can get caught up in the planning of the day; what will you eat, what flowers will you have, what will you wear, and you can forget that, at the heart of it all, is the declaration and celebration of your love β€οΈ
So, my advice when planning your day, and especially if it all feels a bit much and overwhelming, is focus on what is really important to you, what really matters to you and what makes you happiest.
If you think this could include a highly personal and heartfelt ceremony, then I'm your gal! Get in touch to book a connection call and find out more!

πTouch me deep, pure & trueπ
The superb talent of @jadelamey.singer deserves a spot on my grid! It was a delight to work alongside such a lovely person, and there is no one I would have rather sheltered from the rain in the @townheadestate greenhouse with π
Swipe to hear how gorgeous her voice is, and make sure your sound is on! The first two vids are songs that hold a special place in my heart and spoke right to it π. Then, later, Jade was accompanied by the equally excellent @saxeveryweekend, and together, they really got the party goingπ·
Also featuring beautiful blooms from @walterandblossom and, if you look carefully, you will see the talent behind these, Sophie, as equally in awe of our private performance π

β€οΈβπ©Ή When you miss me β€οΈβπ©Ή
* Trigger warning, post addresses death & loss *
As mentioned on my stories, last weekend, I saw @girlsaloud at the arena here in Leeds, and I was really moved and struck by the way they incorporated Sarah into the set. It was done in a heartfelt, empathetic, and intentional way, and simultaneously, the concert felt joyous, jubilant, and uplifting. It was a celebration of life for the living, enjoying being in the moment and together, and yet also acknowledging those that are no longer with us and who are forever missed.
This is exactly what I strive for when remembering and honouring lost loved ones in my Wedding and Naming ceremonies.
The girls included photos and footage of Sarah and ensured that some of her iconic lines like 'here I am, a walking primrose, and 'it might sound crazy but your voice still lives me all funky' (which you can hear in the reel) were still delivered by Sarah herself and there was a touching rendition of 'I'll stand by you' dedicated to her.
However you want to acknowledge and remember loved ones in your ceremony and the rest of your day, I will do my best to ensure we strike the right tone, use language that feels appropriate to you and that we include them in a way that is holds space for them and you and, at the same time, maintains the high energy and joy that your ceremony deserves.
Please do talk to me about ideas and ways to include a lost loved one in your ceremony and wedding.

π¬ Hovering on air π¬
I am still on a high from my first wedding of the year which was @the_faversham right here in Leeds.
It's a totally fab venue with so much space, and J & S definitely made the most of it with so many fantastic finishing touches and personalisation, including, of course, a personalised Humanist ceremony π

π©Ά Aisle goals π©Ά
Imagine if this was the aisle on your wedding day? For one of my couple's this summer, it will be!
I am super excited to be officiating a wedding at Kirkstall Abbey, which is one of the most historic and iconic locations in Leeds, and I got real goosebumps when visiting with B & J ahead of their ceremony there π₯°
This is certainly a venue that needs to be seen to do it justice. If I haven't worked at your venue before, I will always do my best to visit it before your wedding, especially when it is as unique as this one!

π€ A mid-winter wedding in the shire of York π€
My final ceremony of 2023 was a beautiful winter wedding set at the stunning @hospitiumweddings @yorkvenues, and I can't quite believe it hasn't graced my grid until now!
There were plenty of laughs alongside touching moments as I shared A & S's love stories. There were a pair of perfectly picked readings beautifully delivered, one incredibly well-behaved pooch, and it was all topped off with a textbook tying of the knot πͺ’ ππβ€οΈ
The historic hospitium was the ideal choice for a historical and literary loving pair. The tables were all named after their favourite books, including The Hobbit, Pride and Prejudice, and The Prisoner of Azkaban π
The Hospitium is a fab venue and being right in the centre of York, within the museum gardens, it has a location that really can't be rivalled.
If you want to match this unique venue with a unique and personal ceremony, then get in touch!
