Eleanor - The Full Stop Celebrant

17/11/2024

Absolutely fantastic, romantic, funny day yesterday celebrating the new Worton-Warrs!

We had a gorgeous ceremony in the Churchill Tapestry Room Minterne House Weddings followed by fizz and cocktails, wonderful food, a quiz, and the amazing best hat competition.

It was also the first time I've given away cheese mid-ceremony as a prize. Amazing. Thanks Amy and Matt for choosing me, it was such a privilege.

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I am now the preferred supplier wedding celebrant at The Hall, a Grade I listed Jacobean Manor House, in Bradford On Avon.

It's rich history, commitment to freedom of choice in marriage, commitment to local suppliers and jawdropping stylish elegance is right up my street, and I can't wait to be there for their future couples. Plus, it's dog friendly, which Mack was more than happy to demonstrate. Photos by lovely Harriet Media

Get married at The Hall, a stunning Jacobean Mansion near Bath, where I am now the resident celebrant for wedding ceremonies

My November weddings are going to be really special. Here's some gorgeous feedback from a couple whose ceremony at Minterne House Weddings is one I'm particularly looking forward to.

Lovely review from Liz and Gary this morning, from their wedding at Cobbles Weddings & Events

"When Liz and I decided that a celebrant wedding was right for us we knew we wanted a female celebrant for the ceremony. Eleanor’s website was the first we looked at, and the last. From the video call to the meeting at the venue just confirmed we had made the right decision. Eleanor ‘ got ‘ us straight away and planned a wedding that was everything we had wished for. The ceremony itself was delivered perfectly, it had humour, some surprises too and was very inclusive for the guests also. Eleanor really personalised the ceremony to include hand fasting which was so poignant for us both as the rope used was found washed up in Norway by Liz’s late mother. The venue, transport and the weather on the day was perfect but Eleanor was the cherry on the cake. We can’t recommend her highly enough."

I think this is the funnest and best thing I've done in 2024 - I am now an official player sponsor of Topsham RFC Tempests legendary Winger, Ali Santin. GO TEMPESTS!!!

📃Fresh off the back of our opening day win our Tempests are off to Bridgwater for Matchday 2. Here is our team making the trip up the M5 to take on Bridgwater & Albion for the first time ever. We opened with a win whilst tomorrow's opposition were beaten but we'll be taking nothing for granted, and expecting a massive test with every game on the road always difficult. In the forwards there's a debut lined up for number eight Hannah Stewart whilst Erica Butler makes her first Tempests start. An experienced front row remains unchanged, further back Holly Trout and Kate Huish keep their shirts from last week whilst Larry shifts to flank to make way for Hannah. In the backs Chelsea Howard and Abi Birbeck start for their maiden appearance of the season. Hattrick hero Ali Santin is once again on the wing.

Here's our team and all the details you need:
📆Date - 22nd September
📍Away - College Way, Bridgwater, TA6 4TZ
⏰Kickoff - 14:00

Freshly written up today, Kieran and Jess, one of my July couples. Married in a gorgeous pub, The Tempest ARMS Elslack surrounded by their family and friends. So much love and laughter, and they both looked glorious. Was an absolute pleasure to spend time with them and meet all the people that are so important to their love story.

Some observations on flow from your ceremony into the rest of your day. You may or may not have a wedding planner who will help, but this is still worth a read. For your ceremony and just after, think about assigning these jobs to people. I’ve watched couples have to do these themselves, which can be stressful. Nobody should be looking to you for direction.⁣ I'm more than happy to do these things for you, and we can talk about them when we are planning your ceremony.
⁣
✨look outside your squad. People love helping. Sometimes the best man for the job isn’t the Best Man, for example. They may be your best hype man and speech candidate, but not the best in a minor crisis or at wrangling relatives/upset children/timing issues ⁣
✨Your photographer and videographer will be able to capture so much more joy if they have help getting the herd through the formal shots just after the ceremony ⁣
✨If you want a confetti walk after the ceremony, have someone else make sure it’s set up to work well and you have somewhere to walk to when it’s done. ⁣
✨Put someone in charge of collecting stuff. I will always leave your ceremony things somewhere safe, but loads of other bits get put down on chairs, tables and in corners that you’ll want to keep. Oh, and anything printed like order of ceremonies or readings, make sure someone swipes them for your memory box! ⁣
