My niece gets married next week. Her Chief Bridesmaid (my youngest niece) and her Dad (my big bro) both asked me to listen to their speeches and give feedback. A huge honour!! A few tears and lots of giggles later I gave them both 10/10! So what makes a good speech? In my opinion follow these rules and you can’t go wrong:
⏳timing (not too long)
❤️ say it from the heart
🧽 keep it clean, it’s not the time to embarrass anyone
😊be yourself, the room is full of people who know and love you and are willing you
⏱️ pace yourself, you’ve spent time writing something really personal so don’t throw any great lines away
😮‍💨 take a few deep breaths before you start to steady any nerves
🥂don’t drink more to steady the nerves, it doesn’t work!
🫶be kind, don’t crack jokes at other people’s expense
💕💕💕 fill it with Love as that’s what it’s all about!!!

Just received my couples questionnaires back for my next Vow Renewal. Crying with laughter and tears at 8am in the morning! Being a celebrant is (as I always say) a joy and a privilege. Can’t wait to finish this ceremony script for Anand & Swati’s Silver Wedding Celebration . It’s going to be a beautiful event in such a special place. 📸 at Blyth Hall.

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Steed! This was the wedding that I organised for my Mum and her husband Mike. It was a joy from start to finish and it’s what inspired me to become a Celebrant. Although as a Celebrant I now JUST ‘do’ the Ceremony this one I did almost everything from finding the venue, sourcing the photographer (shout out to the gorgeous ) cake maker and making all the floral arrangements, as well as giving the toast, oh and compiling the reception playlist! I LOVED it. But it was for my Mum, and my love for her is immeasurable. Happy Anniversary guys. Love you ❤️

Happy Anniversary to Lauren & James 1 year ago today you stood side by side and made your vows to each other in front of your friends & family on such a beautiful sunny day. There was so much love and happiness in that room!! I hope today you are celebrating in style, surrounded by love & happiness again. And once again I say to you “ May your travels never end, Keep heading in the same direction” Thank you for giving me the privilege of marrying you and being my first couple as a celebrant. ❤️❤️. 📸 🏛️ 📝

Thanks for this post The Academy of Modern Celebrancy I have my first Vow Renewal in a months time and I’m so excited!! But not my last this year with a further two over the Summer! I just love hearing about my couples and their families, the lives that they have built together and why it’s important to them to reaffirm their commitment to each other ❤️❤️

Planning a vow renewal and wondering whether you should have a celebrant lead the ceremony? Let us tell you why it'll be the best decision you could make (after marrying your partner again!) 💗

1️⃣ Professionalism: Celebrants bring expertise and a formal touch, ensuring your ceremony is dignified and heartfelt.
2️⃣ Personalisation: They tailor the ceremony to reflect your unique love story, making it truly special and meaningful.
3️⃣ Special Elements: Incorporate meaningful rituals like handfasting or candle lighting to symbolize your renewed commitment.
4️⃣ Engagement: Celebrants skillfully involve your guests, making everyone feel connected and part of the celebration.
5️⃣ Guidance: Their leadership ensures a smooth, cohesive event, so you can focus on the moment.
6️⃣ Memorable: A celebrant crafts a ceremony that leaves a lasting, impactful impression on you and your guests.

Let’s hear it for !🙌. What a stunning venue smack bang in the middle of Leicester but nestled in the much loved Braunstone Park. I had the pleasure of my first (but definitely not last) visit there last night to fundraise for the charity I work for when I am not marrying lovely couples. I will be back in September for our Gala Charity dinner BUT I would love to be back to marry couples in the future 🤞I also managed to meet Kieran the owner, what a lovely person!

Another day, another lovely venue to get Married in!! With my ‘other’ hat on I visited the beautiful in Leicester today. It’s one of cultural spaces that are available to hire for Weddings. This Grade II listed building is not far from Leicester’s Golden Mile and is perfect for small intimate ceremonies and has THE most stunning gardens for photos and a marquee reception. ❤️

Went on a little half term day trip with my son today to look at the incredible artwork and we were both wowed by the stunning Bow Room. As a Celebrant I could only imagine the wedding that could take place in this stunning and historic location and dream a bit about conducting a ceremony in that space 💭

As a Celebrant I get to indulge my passion for books and the written word. Finding new poetry, prose or verse to bring those personal and reflective moments to a ceremony can be really satisfying. I have just discovered ‘The Life That I Have’ written by Leo Marks for a girl named Ruth who he was in love with who tragically died. He then used the poem as a cipher to encode messages from the World War II agent Violette Szabo ❤️🕊️

A guest captured the beautiful moment when Amy and James’s son helped me with the ring exchange at their wedding. This is why I love being a Celebrant. Working with a family, building a relationship and trust so you can be spontaneous and make their ceremony totally about them and really unforgettable for everyone ❤️🥹🤵🏻

I’m thrilled to be creating a vow renewal ceremony for Sam & Spencer on the occasion of their silver wedding anniversary at the gorgeous Astonwood Golf Club later this year. Just checking out the venue and loving the beautiful photography capturing couples special day at this venue. Love this image by of an outdoor ceremony in the venue. ❤️💍👰🏾🤵🏼🤵🏾‍♀️💐🥂🍾
