FAQs

If you’re anything like me, you have questions. LOADS of questions. I’ve answered the most frequently asked one’s below – and thrown in a few of my favourite ever questions just because they gave me joy!

  • I’m based in East London. My fee covers ceremonies within all areas of London. I’m very happy to travel but will need expenses reimbursing.

  • A celebrant wedding is bespoke, beautiful, creative, meaningful – but not legal. You will need to do the legal bit in a registrar office. You might like to think of it as the wedding admin. You can do the legal bit before or after your celebrant wedding. That’s your call. If you want to be heart-married but not legally married, then you don’t need to do the registrar bit at all.

  • Absolutely anywhere! Unlike legal weddings that need to take place in a licensed venue, a celebrant wedding can take place wherever you like. In a big top, on a boat, at your favourite nightclub, at the beach, in a pub, in a field – the possibilities are endless. Cool hey?

  • I take a 50% deposit to secure the date and booking. The remaining 50% I asked to be paid the week of the wedding so as not to give you an admin job in the dreamy first week after the ceremony!

  • Oh yeah baby. I love a location wedding. Drop me a line and we can discuss the details.

  • So I can concentrate 100% on creating ceremony magic I don’t get involved in any other aspect of wedding planning. I will manage all aspects of the ceremony – readings, musical interludes, props and all the other important details that bring the ceremonial joy.

  • Absolutely. We shouldn’t even need to ask that question right? But sadly we do. And the answer is yes, yes and for those that can’t hear it at the back - YES.

  • I haven’t done yet but I’m 100% game to!

  • Absolutely. I’m delighted to include the small and not so small young people in your life in the ceremony and adapt on the day (or in the moment) if they go off-piste.

  • If you would like to absolutely yes. This is your ceremony your way. For authenticity I personally would not perform any religious aspects but you would be welcome to invite a friend or family member to do so and I would incorporate this into the ceremony.

  • It’s a symbolic often creative ritual to represent the union of two people. Examples include sand ceremonies, wine rituals, creating an anniversary capsule, tea ceremonies, tree planting and handfasting’s.

  • A beautiful ancient Celtic tradition with pagan roots that see’s the celebrant bind the couple’s hands together with rope or ribbon to signify the union. It’s where the phrase tie the knot originates. You can use one chord or friends and family can add one’s to it. In some ceremonies couples are asked if they want to handfast for a year and a day, for while love lasts, or for eternity. Your choice! I personally LOVE handfasting’s.

  • I love a dress up but I ensure to take my stylistic cue from you and your ceremony theme. I have floaty dresses, formal suits, kaftans, evening wear and festival wear. If left to my own devices I usually wear a block colour playsuit with some nice jewellery. Flats if outdoors and heels if indoors. But I’m open to suggestions and discussing looks.

  • How sweet of you to ask! Just still water actually. Nothing with bubbles until after the ceremony!
