Independent Civil Celebrant
Telling your story,
your way.
Creating bespoke ceremonies as unique as your signature
Picking flowers for a bouquet is a personal choice.
Why shouldn't your ceremony be personal too?
Celebrant led ceremonies
A Celebrant led ceremony gives you full spectrum of choices. As an independent celebrant, I am not bound by legislation. I do not have to use sanctioned or licenced premises, I am not governed to a certain time of day and I am not limited to certain words, religious content or who is involved in the ceremony.
In fact, you can have what, who and whenever you wish. Even how you are announced, called and referred to. As society is adapting to the wide range of pronouns we have, sadly the Marriage Act law has not progressed that far yet.
The benefits of choosing a celebrant are that you can be confident: -
- A celebrant will help you to create your vision in a knowledgeable professional manner.
- A celebrant will take the time to get to know you, your family and your story.
- A celebrant offers you full flexibility with all aspects of your ceremony.
- A celebrant can offer advice, guidance and options but will always put you, your wishes and your child or children before everything else.
- A celebrant will create, with you, a beautiful bespoke ceremony that reflects your values, your personality and your ideas, as well as those of your child/children.
- A celebrant takes the stress out of not only helping to create the ceremony you want, but manage it and deliver it on the day.
I also always carry an emergency wardrobe malfunction kit so you and your guests can relax and enjoy your ceremony.
Woodland
Although I live on the coast, nothing can compare to woodland areas, forests or public gardens. Maybe you or a family member have a beautiful garden or piece of land.
Living close to the Suffolk border add some beautiful countryside options, including Constable county.
A celebrant led ceremony can be as immersed in nature as you wish.
Beach
We have some beautiful beaches in the UK, but the weather means the call for beach weddings are low. The result is that being able to marry on the beach here in Essex is not allowed.
Choosing a celebrant led ceremony means you can choose places that are not licenced.
As someone who spent her teenage years living on the beachfront, I know how beautiful and soothing it is.
Castle
Some castles, like Colchester Castle, have been licenced to hold wedding ceremonies, but what about the smaller castles - the lesser known or even the derelict ones? By choosing a celebrant, you open the possibilities.
Compared to other parts of the United Kingdom, we do not have as many castles. But those we do have are lovely.
Although if you fancy a castle in Scotland, I know several, and am always up for a Scotland excursion.
