WEDDING CEREMONIES
AND VOW RENEWALS
Bespoke, magical and guided every step of the way...
A Celebrant-led ceremony is an amazing upgrade that not only will wow your guests, but will give you a magical foundation for your marriage. Typically, lots of thought goes into the aesthetic and styling of the ceremony area but not so much the content. Here's where I come in!
My ceremonies share a gorgeous look into your lives, ups and downs along the way, key stories and people; weaved with visual elements and keepsakes for you to treasure forever.
First and foremost, I will get to know you both on this journey and you'll be greeted with a smiling and familiar face on your wedding / vow renewal day. Each and every couple of mine is unique and so their ceremonies reflect this.
Your wedding ceremony will be the one thing you will forever remember along with the words shared. A great celebrant is an investment but, one I guarantee you won't regret!
CHOOSE YOUR DREAM CEREMONY
"We are so pleased we found Laura as we couldn't have asked for a better wedding celebrant!! She was incredibly warm and friendly from the first time we reached out to ask about making our Weymouth beach wedding a possibility. Laura has an incredible gift for connecting with people and when we met in person and she was so interested in all our plans and took the time to get to really know us and all our hopes and dreams for our wedding.
What sets Laura apart is her meticulous attention to detail. She ensured that every aspect of the ceremony was perfectly tailored to us, from the readings to the vows to the sand pouring ceremony. On the day Laura went above and beyond to make sure everything was organised how we had wanted it and was on site ahead of the wedding to help co-ordinate and make our vision come to life.
Choosing Laura as our wedding celebrant was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Her passion, talent, and genuine love for what she does shine through in every aspect of her work. Laura created a ceremony that we will cherish forever, and we are eternally grateful for her being a key part of our wedding. She is truly one of a kind."

LEGALLY WED PROCESS
Celebrants in England and Wales are not recognised by law (boo!) so you will need to go to your local registry office to do your legal part of your marriage. It costs around £48 and you can withhold your vows and rings and save the them for your bespoke wedding ceremony with me.
SO YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A BESPOKE CEREMONY LACED WITH MAGIC & ADVENTURE?
How does it all work?
STEP 1 - SAY HELLO!
Let's chat all about your exciting ceremony plans! I can either meet in person (for tea and cake of course) or over Zoom, at your venue or we can travel to your home. This gives you an opportunity to see if i'm the Celebrant for you, but if you've made it this far you probably like my style!
STEP 2 - YOU WANT TO BOOK ME (WAHOO!)
So you would love for me to deliver your ceremony? Amazing! Once you've chosen and we've chatted, you'll receive a copy of the terms. A 50% deposit is required (25% if 2 years ahead) to book your chosen date which is then firmly in the calendar.
STEP 3 - CEREMONY PLANNING CALL
Six months to go you'll receive a questionnaire for you both to fill in which you can let me know all of your exciting ceremony plans so far. On return of this, I can book in a ceremony planning call and go through all of the details which will enable me to start work on your bespoke script.
STEP 4 - FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR LOVE STORY
Six weeks to go you will receive your first draft of your love story. This is your chance to read through and let me know any changes or amends. I can include anything extra at this point that you may not have thought of and make sure it's absolutely perfect for your day.
STEP 5 - REHEARSAL
If you require a rehearsal, this will will be at your wedding venue or ceremony location. We can walk through the logistics and make any changes to music or the script at this point. This will put you both at ease ahead of your big day knowing everything is taken care of and you can relax, and enjoy!
STEP 6 - YOUR BESPOKE CEREMONY
The day has finally arrived! I will be at your venue 30 minutes before the start time with everything set up. I will supply a copy of your vows, any readings, ritual resources (if included), keepsake certificates and a copy of your ceremony script to treasure forever. Let's get you married!
