Weddings
One of the beautiful gifts of a celebrant led wedding is that you are not tied to a specific venue, or building as such for your wedding. You can have your wedding anywhere.
​
Neither does your wedding have to adhere to any specific religious doctrines. The ceremony can be tailored specifically to you as a couple and what is needed for the all. This may be a blended service bringing multiple faiths and religions together, or one free of any religious content. The choice is yours and the possibilities are endless.
"It’s no exaggeration when I say Jenny is the perfect celebrant. She is professional in all the necessary ways as far as the legal requirements and formalities of marriage go. However, she goes way above and beyond by deeply honouring you as a couple, as well as all your guests, in what feels like the warmest bath of love and adoration. It’s as if she knows the depth of your love as a couple and helps you extract that to share with everyone else. And she does this without an ounce of fuss or making herself the centre of attention. It’s quite an extraordinary art to behold and we felt incredibly honoured that she was a major part of our ceremony. I would not hesitate even a millisecond to recommend her to anyone who wants true love, joyfully delivered at their wedding. And to add, there were many guests who commented on how genuine and real her care and delivery during the ceremony was. Jenny was absolutely stunning in every way."

The ProcessOnce booking is confirmed we will meet (in person or online) for an informal chat so I may take down all the relevant information and help you decide how the ceremony will flow, what elements you would like to include, etc. In short the who, what, where, when guide to your wedding. It's a process and we will let it naturally unfold and evolve. We don't need to have all the answers immediately from the outset, they will be given as we work together. I will then go away, plan, design and put to paper the service for your day with all the details including a draft script for your perusal and consent. I will be available for questions, support and guidance along the way. ​ On the day of the wedding I will arrive an hour ahead of the service (for support, reassurance, hugs and laughter should it be needed) and I will leave 30 minutes after (leaving you and your guests to celebrate together) unless we have discussed otherwise.

The FeeThe cost may vary depending on the type, length and location (I am happy to travel globally with you) of the ceremony you would like. ​ As a rough guideline a 20-30 minute ceremony (with bespoke words of welcome, compilation of your story, readings, vows, ring exchange, final pronouncement) full delivery of the service and copy of your script for the day is £1200. ​ Bookings can be made last minute and/or prepared years in advance (weddings are often put into plan up to three years in advance now so it is advised to book your support network in-line with your planning schedule). ​ £600 of your fee is due when booking and confirming a date for your ceremony. The remaining part of the fee will be payable before presentation of the first draft of your ceremony. Fees and date transfers are refundable at discretion of celebrant. No refunds will be issued for a delay of more than 30 minutes in the start of the ceremony.
-
LegalityWedding ceremonies are not the legally binding part of the marriage process. This can be done prior to the wedding with a registrar for around £60 with your local district council. This is for legal and administrative purposes. Everything else; the exchange of rings, the vows, the people, can be brought into your wedding ceremony.
