Merry Christmas from my heart to yours! 🎄

Today’s all about love, connection, and celebration—the very same things I get to witness and celebrate as a celebrant. Whether you’re with family, friends, or having a quieter day, I hope it’s been a day filled with laughter, warmth, and a little festive magic.

This year has been incredible, filled with amazing couples, unforgettable ceremonies, and so much love. I’m so grateful for every single person who’s trusted me to be part of their special day—and I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings!

For now, I’m soaking up all the Christmas joy, (fizz) overindulging in cheese, and spending time with the people I love most over the next two days.

From me and my family to you and yours: Merry Christmas, and here’s to all the love in the world! ❤️

Christmas Eve... the night before magic happens. 🎄

There’s a special kind of excitement in the air tonight—the kind that reminds me of the night before a wedding.

That feeling of:
✨ Anticipation for what’s to come.
✨ Joy in celebrating with loved ones.
✨ The quiet, heartwarming moments of reflection before the big day.

Just like Christmas, a wedding is a celebration of love, hope, and togetherness—and I love being part of that magic.

And some of you have NO idea that you're about to start your own wedding journey!

Christmas and New Year are two of the most popular times of the year to get engaged! So don't snoop under the tree just in case you ruin a big surprise!

Wishing you all a Christmas Eve filled with love and joy, whether you are a more “silent night” vibe person or “party till midnight” tonight kinda human.

Tonight's
night’s Irish gig got me thinking... ☘️

There’s something magical about music bringing people together, isn’t there? The laughter, the foot-tapping, the shared moments—it’s a perfect reminder of what makes a wedding so special.

Whether it’s:
🎶 A rousing sing-along to your favorite folk tune,
🎵 A live band that gets everyone on their feet, or
🎼 A carefully chosen song for your first dance,

Music is the heartbeat of a celebration, just like love is the heartbeat of a marriage.

As your celebrant, I’ll help weave those joyful, toe-tapping vibes into your ceremony, ensuring it’s as lively, heartfelt, or unique as you are.

The Solstice is a reminder of hope, renewal, and the promise of brighter days ahead—much like the commitments made in a wedding ceremony.

✨ Standing together through life’s seasons, dark and light.
✨ Nurturing each other’s growth and joy.
✨ Creating a future filled with love, hope, and shared dreams.

Moments like these remind us of the beauty of connection, whether in a ceremony or in everyday life.

As a celebrant, it’s my honor to craft ceremonies that reflect your journey—filled with the same light and love the Solstice symbolizes.

21/12/2024

Ever considered how the winter can inspire your ceremony:
✨ Candles and Lanterns: Representing the light you bring to each other’s lives.
✨ Seasonal Vows: Reflecting themes of growth, renewal, and everlasting love.
✨ Nature-Inspired Decor: Think evergreens, mistletoe, or even a starry-night theme.
✨ Cozy Atmosphere: Celebrate with loved ones in an intimate, magical setting.

A Winter wedding is perfect for couples who want a deeply meaningful ceremony filled with warmth, love, and a nod to nature’s beauty.

See you next year for it yeah? 😉

Personal Vows = Personal Magic 💕

The moment you share your vows is pure magic—it’s where the tears, laughter, and connection really hit home. But let’s be honest: writing those vows can feel daunting.

That’s where I come in. As your celebrant, I’ll guide you:
✨ Where to start
✨ How to make your words meaningful and manageable
✨ How to deliver them with confidence

You don’t have to be a poet. You just have to be you. And I’ll be there to help you every step of the way.

💌 Are you team personal vows or team traditional?

Why I Love Being a Celebrant 💖

Every ceremony I create is like writing a love story—and I’ll never get tired of it.

✨ I love hearing your stories: how you met, what makes you laugh, and the quirks that make you you.
✨ I love weaving those moments into a ceremony that’s heartfelt, joyful, and unforgettable.
✨ I love standing beside you as you say, “I do,” knowing the words we’ve crafted together will stay with you forever.

Being shortlisted for the Wedding Industry Awards and the Kent Wedding Awards, and winning the Hitched Wedding Awards is the cherry on top of a job that already feels like a dream.

Thank you to all the couples who’ve trusted me to be part of their day—you’re the reason I do this. 🩷

💌 Ready to create your own unforgettable ceremony? Let’s chat—I’d love to bring your story to life!

“Can we really do that at our wedding?”
The answer is almost always: YES! 🙌

Your wedding is a reflection of you. Whether you want to walk down the aisle to heavy metal, include your dog as ring bearer, or skip traditions altogether, I’m here for it.

As a celebrant, I help create a ceremony that feels true to who you are—whatever that looks like!

“untraditional” ideas? Go for it 😁

15/12/2024

Sundays are for reflecting—and I’m thinking about the little moments during wedding ceremonies that leave a lasting impression:

✨ The nervous excitement as you walk down the aisle.
✨ The tears (and laughter) during your personal vows.
✨ The way your loved ones look at you, beaming with pride.
✨ That deep breath before you say, “I do.”

Every ceremony I write is designed to create those moments. The ones that stay with you long after the confetti has settled and the last dance has played.

Whether it’s funny, romantic, or wildly creative, your ceremony should be everything you’ve dreamed of—and more. Make sure it reflects you 🩷

14/12/2024

It’s a Saturday, the perfect day to imagine your dream wedding ceremony. 🌟

Picture this…..You’re standing hand in hand, surrounded by your favorite people...Every word of your ceremony feels uniquely you—from the heartfelt vows to the cheeky nods to your story...There’s laughter, maybe a tear or two, and a whole lot of love in the air...The vibe? Completely your own—whether it’s whimsical, elegant, or delightfully unconventional.

As your celebrant, it’s my job to bring daydreams to life. I help craft ceremonies that feel authentic, meaningful, and unforgettable.

What's your vision?

11/12/2024

Thought I'd go with 11 ways to personalise your ceremony because it *should* feel like you—personal, meaningful, and full of those special touches that make your story unique.

🩷Tell Your Story and let the tale of how you met be woven.

🩷Include a ritual: Handfasting, a unity candle, or even something quirkier—there’s a ritual for every vibe.

🩷Write your own bows, that are straight from the heart as they're always best, whether it’s funny, poetic, or totally raw.

🩷Pick meaningful readings from a poem, quote, or even a song lyric that speaks to your love story.

🩷Involve loved ones by asking family or friends to do a reading, hand over the rings, or share a blessing.

🩷Add music you love: walk down the aisle to something meaningful—whether it’s a string quartet or your favorite rock anthem.

🩷Incorporate inside jokes because a little laughter makes your ceremony feel authentic and true to you both.

🩷Celebrate your culture(s) by honouring your heritage with a tradition, language, or ritual unique to your background.

🩷 Get Creative with the setting, whether it’s an enchanted forest or your backyard, let the location tell part of your story.

🩷 Include Your pets (pleeeease) because your furry (or feathery!) friend is family!

🩷End with a bang, with a confetti toss, champagne toast, or even a surprise flash mob to a banging tune! All can make the perfect finale!

The more you, the more unforgettable!

A Celebrant’s Festive Wish List 🎄

As we count down to Christmas, I thought I’d share my festive wish list as a celebrant:

✨ Love Stories that Make Me Cry (in a good way!): There’s nothing better than hearing how you met, your quirks, and those little moments that make your love unique.

✨ A Venue with a View: From barn weddings to beach ceremonies, I’ve been lucky to work in some incredible places—and I’d love to add a winter wonderland venue to the list, hint!

✨ Vows from the Heart: Whether they’re funny, poetic, or a little bit awkward, heartfelt vows are the cherry on top of every ceremony.

✨ A Little Bit of Festive Fun: This time of year makes me dream of cozy winter weddings, twinkling fairy lights, and maybe even a guest appearance by Santa! 🎅

✨ Amazing humans! My favourite part of the job is meeting people who are simply fabulous! Every couple inspires me in a new way. 💕

What’s on YOUR festive wish list?

09/12/2024

What’s Your Ceremony Style? 💍

Your wedding ceremony should feel like you. But what does that look like?

✨ Romantic & Heartfelt
You’re all about tear-jerking vows, meaningful rituals, and timeless elegance. A love story this beautiful deserves a ceremony to match.

✨ Fun & Quirky
You want your guests laughing, cheering, and maybe even joining in! From inside jokes to surprise elements (like a dog ring bearer!), you’re all about making memories.

✨ Traditional with a Twist
You love classic touches but want to add your unique spin. Think handfasting ribbons in your favorite colors or a unity ritual that nods to your shared hobbies

📖 A Day in the Life of a Celebrant

Ever wondered what a celebrant gets up to behind the scenes? Here’s a little peek into my world on a wedding day:

🌟 Morning: It starts with a decaf (essential), dog walk and then down to the serious shizz of some script rehearsal. I will read the whole script about four times in the morning, out loud. I've already read it multiple times before. I'll record the last read through. I need to work hard to ensure that I'm taking care to make a ceremony unforgettable.

✨ Midday: It’s all about coordination—ill be making my way to the venue. In the car, I'll listen to the audio if that last read through. When I get to the venue I'll check in with my couple and then chat with all suppliers, and be taking behind the scenes photos to share with the couple that evening.

🎤 Ceremony Time: The best part of the day! I get to stand in front of your loved ones, tell your story, and share in the joy of your moment.

🥂 After the Ceremony: A celebratory cheer for you, a quick note of gratitude for being part of your day, a selfie with the couple and a moment to reflect on how lucky I am to call this my job.
I'll tidy up, and head home to raise a glass to the couple and send them their behind the scenes pics.

Every wedding day is different, but every one of them is filled with love stories, laughter, and a little happy tear or two.

Ceremony Traditions from Around the World 🌍
One of the joys of being a celebrant is discovering unique ways couples want to celebrate their love. Did you know there are so many traditions from across the globe that can inspire your ceremony? (you'll hear me refer to them as "elements" or "mini ceremonies")
✨ Handfasting: This ancient Celtic tradition symbolises the binding of two lives with a ribbon or cord. It’s where the phrase “tying the knot” comes from!
✨ Unity Candle: A modern favorite—two flames (representing the couple) join to light a single candle, symbolising unity.
✨ Jumping the Broom: With roots in African and Celtic cultures, this tradition signifies sweeping away the past and leaping into a new life together.
✨ Taking Shots: Forget just clinking glasses—some couples celebrate their vows by sharing a toast (or a tequila shot!) with their guests. It’s a lively way to kick off married life with a burst of energy and fun!
What I love most is how couples can adapt these rituals to suit their story—whether it’s embracing tradition or adding a creative twist.
If you have come across traditions at a wedding that you thought was awesome, let me know, I love fresh ideas!

06/12/2024

Did You Know that one of the biggest perks of having a celebrant-led wedding ceremony is the freedom. 💕

✨ You’re not tied to traditional formats or locations—want to get married in a woodland clearing, a beach, or even your own garden? Let’s do it!
✨ You can include rituals that reflect your story—like handfasting, a unity candle, or even a group toast with your guests.
✨ Your ceremony can be completely you. Fancy a Harry Potter theme? Or maybe you want your dog to deliver the rings? The sky’s the limit!

This flexibility is one of the reasons I love being a celebrant—every wedding is truly unique.

🌟 Fun Fact: You don’t need to follow any set script or order when it’s a celebrant-led ceremony. It’s all about celebrating YOUR love, YOUR way.

I adore the most unique wedding ideas!

💬 FAQs About Working with a Celebrant 💬

From guiding you through vow writing to helping you plan meaningful rituals, I’m here for the whole journey.

Oct 7th "Best Advice for Couples" If there’s one thing I’ve learned from officiating countless weddings, it’s this: don’t expect perfection on your big day... The truth is, something will almost always go wrong – a zipper might break, the weather might throw you a curveball, or Aunt Linda might knock over a glass of wine (again). 🍷🙈 But guess what? That’s what makes your day yours. The imperfect moments are often the most memorable and fun! Instead of stressing, embrace the “what will be, will be” vibes and just roll with it. The love, laughter, and real moments are what matter most. 🩷 Stay tuned for more chat on this topic soon! 🎙️ #WeddingFails #RealWeddings #PerfectlyImperfect #WeddingAdvice #TalkingDebs #wedphoto #weddingcelebrant #october #photoaday #octoberphotoaday #weddings #celebrant
