How we craft your personalised ceremony
1
Getting to know you
We start with an initial consultation where we meet to discuss your ceremony. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what you envision for your special day.

Write your ceremony
With the information gathered,
I start crafting the ceremony. This includes writing the script, selecting readings or other elements to include, and working with you to ensure that the ceremony reflects your wishes and values.

On your day, I will officiate the ceremony and guide you through each part, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and providing you with any support and reassurance you may need on the day.
