What does a wedding celebrant do?

Are you based in Yorkshire and looking for a heartfelt and a wedding obsessive, love story enthusiast wedding celebrant, to curate your wedding ceremony of dreams, then look no further.

My celebrant-led ceremonies are one of a kind. They are unlike any other religious ceremony or standard, registrar legal ceremony that you will already be familiar with. My ceremonies firmly plant themselves into the hearts and minds of you and your guests; I embrace everyone at your wedding ceremony with a never-ending hug of love and warmth. I love to spread positivity, joy and heartfelt stories at your ceremonies but above all, I love to celebrate you and your love story. This is why your guests will be raptured by the ceremony and will, quite frankly, think it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

Wedding Vows

All of the weddings I curate and officiate are highly personalised and bespoke. My aim is to make your wedding ceremony a fully immersive experience for everyone involved, using symbols, words and traditions that are personal to you.

Part of this process is helping you to create your own special, heartfelt vows which become a real key moment in your wedding ceremony. Your vows express your deep connection to one another; your devotion to being together for all eternity…in that moment of your wedding ceremony, they quite literally make time stop still!

Meanwhile, the bride has three nieces so the younger two nieces helped with the glitter station and the eldest niece read a poem by A A Milne during the ceremony. It was light-hearted and poignant-exactly what was required by the bride and groom
