WEDDINGS & VOW RENEWALS
CORNWALL WEDDING CELEBRANT
A Free-Spirited, Fun & Meaningful Ceremony is the HEART of Your Celebrant Wedding or Vow Renewal.
Voted No 1 in the UK and the South West.
BESPOKE & LAID-BACK CEREMONIES
Spiritual | Pagan | Humanist | Celtic
Entrusting the creation and delivery of your ceremony to an experienced, caring, calm-yet-quirky 5* professional – ME – makes total sense!
Whether yours is a barefoot elopement, outdoor or rustic celebration or hotel swanky hotel nuptials, I’ll get to know you and ensure your ceremony strikes the wonderful keynote to YOUR day.
Each magical, unforgettable celebration involves joy and laughter, is crafted to reflect your relationship and your beliefs. It includes those you wish to involve and embraces your chosen style and vibe, even down to my attire!
LOVING LOVE: HATERS NOT WELCOME!
Working with couples from every walk of life is a joy as I celebrate diversity in all its forms – if you don’t celebrant diversity, I’m not your gal! Attending one of the first same-sex, English-themed, Canadian weddings in 2004 was epic – with a fabulous blessing from ‘HRH’ and cheerleading pom poms … I LOVED it!
Couples who love to laugh and work with me as a team are my tribe! Everything else can fall into place after that, truly…
CHOOSE ANY SYMBOLIC ELEMENTS
Norse elements, wassailing, unity candles, sand blends, loving cups, cocktails, broom jumping, beer blending, tea ceremonies – these and more are always on offer! Any ‘props’ I own are free for you to borrow, including an outdoor PA. I’m a qualified Aromatherapist so offer gorgeous hand / foot-washing, oil-blending and anointing.
As a Celtic Celebrant, I weave and gift Celtic ‘Eternity Knot’ cords if Handfasting is your thing. I also create cords in meaningful colours and materials. In my four-coloured heart-knot logo, RED is symbolic of love, BLUE-sky dreams, YELLOW for joy and GREEN for groundedness and earth connections.
BLISSFULLY FREE OF RULES
My Independent Wedding Ceremonies are unfettered by legal procedures or restrictions – Vow Renewals are always non-legal.
For marriage, a five-minute ‘Simple’ Registry Office declaration of marriage covers your legals ahead of time – 46 words costing £60 to £90, which is SO much less than an onsite Registrar ‘celebrant’ fee.
By law, Registrars MUST provide these office declarations, even if expensive suite options only seem available – so do push a bit!
Postpone rings, vows, ceremonial certificates etc… until your beautiful ceremony with me, with ANY words, music and symbolic elements in ANY part of a Licensed or Unlicensed venue or other location, indoors or out. There are simply NO LIMITS – even a wassail alcoholic toast to bring in good spirits or loving cups are allowed!
Let’s get CREATIVE!
MY 10 STEPS TO YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY HEAVEN
(in addition to a cracking ceremony, of course…)
1. A HELLO meeting to see if we click!
2. A Contract & your Booking Fee secure your date and I start planning.
3. My guidance, suggestions and notes to help YOU make decisions.
4. I liaise with your planner/venue and scope your location.
5. Getting to know you via meeting/s & questionnaires - whatever suits you!
6. You pay your second, final payment when the draft ceremony is ready.
7. We review and edit this draft fully as a team so you are totally happy!
8. I help with Vow advice/a Vow Workshop for meaningful vows.
9. I liaise with entourage to review choreography and support readers.

No A, B or C option: every part of my ceremony will be unique to you.
‘Simply Bespoke’ – £675 (weekday / low season is cheaper) – includes: a hello meeting in Cornwall, or a video hello. ALL video meetings you require for a ‘from scratch’ unique service, Written and video guidance on vows and readings. Written choreography and advice notes for you & your entourage. Venue research to scope the ceremony space ahead of time. ECO FRIENDLY & great for destination and elopement ceremonies.

‘Writing Only Ceremony Package’ for just £375 – do you have a fabulous friend or relative who’d love support to deliver the wonderful ceremony I write? I’ll also happily mentor them in the lead-up to your day for no extra and supply FULL choreography and guidance notes. This is an enormous role so I thoroughly recommend this supported package.
My contract process is clear and simple, sent and agreed via email – a £150 Booking Fee included in the fees secures your date! As only one ceremony is booked per day, I close your date off to other couples and start the hocus-pocussing!
