Weddings
Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life, so you'll want it to be just right. The big day starts off with the ceremony, so why not make it extra special, with something beautiful, bespoke and perfectly YOU?
The great thing about humanist weddings is, you get to do it your way! Whether you want quirky, classic, traditional or don't quite know, I will work with you to make sure your wedding ceremony is perfect for you.
What Do I Do For You?
As your celebrant, my role is to get to know you, write your script, guide you through the process of crafting your ceremony, and work with you to make your day meaningful and unique.
My services include:
-
An initial meeting to discuss your options and needs
-
A contract outlining our agreement
-
Writing and editing of your personal ceremony script
-
Access to my exclusive, carefully curated couple's website, which is full of wedding inspiration
-
Liaising with you along the way to perfect your script
-
Providing options for readings, music and symbolic acts, if you need them
-
Attendance at a rehearsal at your ceremony venue
-
Conducting the ceremony on the day, including any symbolic acts
-
A presentation copy of your ceremony script
-
Emotional support you might need in the run up to the big day! Help with nerves, answering any questions you have, and make you laugh (and maybe cry!) with joy!
How Does It Work?
We will meet several times before the big day, to get to know each other and explore all about your hopes and plans for your ceremony. Depending on where you are, this can be in person, over the phone, via Zoom or even email. We’ll chat about your ideas and plans, and craft a ceremony script that tells your story.
You can choose readings, poems, music, symbolic acts, vows – all entirely to suit your ideas and wishes. I am happy to help with any and all of this, and can make suggestions if you like – or leave it to you to decide. Together we will work to edit and perfect your ceremony script, and make sure it’s just right.
My goal is to give you the ceremony you want, and help you celebrate your love in a way that works for you.
How Much Does it Cost?
My fee for a ceremony is usually around £600. This includes everything mentioned above, as well as travel costs within 30 miles of my local area.
This does not include the additional costs that a wedding incurs. £44 per couple is payable to the General Register Office of Northern Ireland for pre-wedding approvals and checks. If you are having a legal ceremony, you must pay this fee no matter the type of wedding you have. There is also an admin fee of £40 per couple, payable to Humanists UK.
There are no hidden charges; you will know exactly how much it will cost in advance.
A humanist ceremony is the most wonderful, special and unique ceremony you can have. I will put my heart and all my effort into ensuring your wedding is absolutely perfect. I'm sure you will agree it is well worth the price!
