WEDDINGS & VOW RENEWALS
CORNWALL & DEVON
Make a Free-Spirited, Fun & Meaningful Ceremony the HEART of Your Celebrant Wedding or Vow Renewal
BESPOKE & LAID-BACK CEREMONIES
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 or high end hotel wedding, I’ll get to know you and ensure your ceremony totally reflects you and your wishes.
My magical and unforgettable ceremonies often involve buckets of laughter! I dress to suit your vibe – whether in jumpsuits and fluffy gilets and sparkly boots or in ‘dress ups’, I’m totally there…
Working with couples from every walk of life is a joy as I embrace diversity in all its forms. Being part of one of the first same-sex, English-themed, Canadian weddings in 2004 was epic – with a fabulous blessing from ‘HRH’ and cheerleading pom poms to shake…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
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. As an Aromatherapist, I also offer hand-washing, foot-washing, oil-blending and anointing ceremonies.
I weave and gift handmade Celtic ‘Eternity Knot’ cords if a Handfasting is your thing. My four-coloured braid reflects my Celtic heritage and brand – RED symbolic of love, BLUE-sky dreams, YELLOW for joy and GREEN for groundedness and our connection to our precious world. I can also make cords in other colours and materials.
My Independent Wedding ceremonies are blissfully unfettered by legal procedures or restrictions – Vow Renewals are always non-legal.
A five-minute ‘Simple’ Registrar declaration of marriage on a separate day covers your legals – about 46 words at a fee of around £60! Registrars MUST provide these office declarations, even if only expensive suite options seem available.
Keep the boring bits from your WEDDING DAY – with rings, vows, ceremonial certificates etc… ALL saved until the ceremony with me.
My ceremonies allow ANY words, music and symbolic elements in ANY part of a Licensed or Unlicensed venue or other location, indoors or out – ‘(no no no no no no) THERE’S NO LIMITS’ – even alcohol toasts or loving cups are allowed!
All this may well cost way less than an unknown attending Registrar’s ‘cut and paste’ ceremony.
Let’s get CREATIVE!

FEE PACKAGES
A personalised, ‘from scratch’ wedding ceremony entails 20 -30 hours of meetings, planning, writing, choreographing, travelling and editing. I don’t compare to cheaper cut-and-pasters.
‘Simply Bespoke’ – £470 – £570 (weekdays are cheaper) – video/actual discovery meeting near to Falmouth and all video meetings needed for a ‘from scratch’ unique service, with guidance on vows, readings, choreography and advice notes to entourage. MORE ECO FRIENDLY & great for budget, destination and elopement ceremonies.
‘Bespoke And Some’ – £670 – everything included in the above, with a face-to-face planning/venue meeting, a full wedding rehearsal and a vow-writing tutorial.
I also offer a ‘Writing Only From Scratch Package’ for just £325 – do you have a fabulous friend or relative who just needs some coaching support to deliver a wonderful ceremony I create? I’ll also happily mentor them in the lead-up to your day.
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 to work my magic.
For the ceremony, I travel up to 2 hrs from TR11 at NO extra cost. If you are outside this, I can help to recommend fabulous colleagues more local to you … or we can discuss accommodation/travel fees!
Click to Flicka Donkey Sanctuary – where I’m happy for 5% of my fee to be donated.
MY FEES ALSO INCLUDE:
Replacement Celebrant and other Rebooking Contingencies – we Celebrant colleagues support each other!
Liaison with your Venue/Planner & Photographer to ensure a seamless service and fabulous photos.
Ceremonial Certificate, Vow Cards & a Bound Keepsake Ceremony

MY MISSION
… is for every couple to love and remember their wedding ceremony forever! I promise to go above and beyond to create you total awesomeness – with a fun, touching, beautiful and unique ceremony. It can be as ‘out there’, traditional, formal or informal as YOU desire.
