Oh such a beautiful day yesterday with this gorgeo Oh such a beautiful day yesterday with this gorgeous couple at a stunning venue in Oxfordshire, it’s all about the views and we could see the exact spot where Dave proposed at Avon Dassett, how brill is that?? 

I chose a poem to read to them, a complete surprise and they loved it, phew! šŸ˜…
In fact Rachel is going to frame the poem page in the ceremony script I gift to every couple ! 

You must be wondering which poem it was ?? 

Well it is the wonderful ā€˜You are the Bubbles’ by Rachel Bright - some very cute words!!

A lovely e-mail I received from Mary after her dau A lovely e-mail I received from Mary after her daughters wedding last month, such kind words!! 
She was helping to organise A and C’s wedding as they live in New Zealand, the Celebrant they booked had ā€˜disappeared’ with only 4 weeks to go, oh dear! 
I was so glad I was free and able to help, we created a fabulous ceremony which included learning two songs, remember my Māori love song ceremony, this was it!! The couple said their own vows, lit a unity candle and signed a certificate, all outside at the beautiful @warwick_house !

I always do my absolute utmost to create and deliver a beautiful bespoke ceremony, no matter the timeline, and it was my pleasure to conduct this one for the gorgeous A&C 

Celebrant ceremonies are the best, moving, personal as well as warm, joyous and so inclusive !! šŸ’•

A beautiful summers day yesterday for H&M, in stun A beautiful summers day yesterday for H&M, in stunning surroundings on H’s family farm!!šŸ˜Ž

What gorgeous views over the Warwickshire countryside, I was blown away when I arrived for their rehearsal on Friday, imagine waking up to that every day? 

Beautiful live music provided by @christineschneidermusic really set the tone for a joyous ceremony with the couples love story, they have been together forever, lots of mentions of Blue their gorgeous dog, readings written and read by two sisters and of course the couple wrote their own vows, a wonderful surprise for each of them - and the guests!! šŸ’•

I was made so welcome and had to stay for post ceremony drinks, I love a Pimms!! 

It really is a wonderful summer of love, fabulous weather for outdoor ceremonies at the moment - must purchase some more factor 30!! 

If you would love a relaxed, joyous, totally bespoke ceremony do get in touch!! 
Next year is looking busy already!!

A beautiful wedding at this fabulous venue for R&N A beautiful wedding at this fabulous venue for R&N yesterday, a true celebration of their love with all their family and friends present, on their third time of trying!! 

My first time @ardencote, such a lovely entrance and ceremony area down by the lake, we are so lucky to have so many super venues in Warwickshire!!

The second of my lovely weddings last week, a coup The second of my lovely weddings last week, a couple I had known for nearly three years, R&N, and stayed with me so as they could celebrate this year!!šŸ’•

They did have a wonderful Indian wedding in the temple last year, with just a few guests present and this ceremony was suppose to be the next day for Nic’s side of the family, who hail from the lovely North Wales!

Instead we delayed a whole year, with a few updates at this wonderful venue @nailcotehall !! 

What about the singing I hear you say?? Well, Nic’s Dad can sing and play the guitar and he treated us to a beautiful rendition of Baby I’m Yours, sang originally by the lovely Barbara Lewis way back in 1965, truly wonderful, and so moving!!

Another super bespoke and very personal ceremony, which can only be created and delivered by a Celebrant! 

They said the day was all they wished for and more, how wonderful!! šŸ’•

Thank you to @celebrantcircleuk for sharing this - Thank you to @celebrantcircleuk for sharing this - great news today for Celebrants and couples, loads more choice on when and where you can marry!! 
It can’t happen soon enough for me!! 

The Law Commission has finally published its long-awaited review on the ā€˜1949 Marriage Act.’
The recommendations include a comprehensive reform of the marriage laws to give couples greater choice of where and when they’re married - and by whom - within a more efficient and simpler legal framework. 

The implication of the report’s recommendations would change the law to license the individual who officiates the ceremony, challenging the limited laws around legal marriage that are currently in place.

This is very good news indeed and a positive step forward for independent Wedding Celebrants in England and Wales! 

Government will now have one year to respond to the proposed changes to the law and - should this proposal go forward - we may still be looking at another couple of years before the changes come into statute. 
However, it is most definitely a positive shift in the right direction for Independent Celebrants and we will update you as further news and reactions come in with recomendations for any further action that will help push the case forward for Celebrants 
Exciting times for celebrants and couples!

A lovely weekend with two very different ceremonie A lovely weekend with two very different ceremonies, both involving music, who doesn’t love a singalong?? šŸŽ¶šŸŽ¶šŸŽµšŸŽ¶

This was the first, outside in the gorgeous gardens at the beautiful @warwick_house, with the lovely A&C who flew in all the way from New Zealand, A’s Mum read to them, they exchanged personal vows and we all sang a New Zealand love song in Māori led by the wonderful @bethanyjanemusic - we wrapped up the ceremony with the classic, All you need is love by the Beatles, now be warned I do love to sing and I put my heart into it, but I am not great at holding a tune, and I do need some backing singers! šŸ˜… 

If singing is your thing then maybe you should consider a beautiful personalised ceremony, let’s celebrate your love with the music of your choice!! šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•

Drop me a DM, always here to chat!!x

I had the great pleasure of conducting a vow renew I had the great pleasure of conducting a vow renewal for the lovely Rob and Donna yesterday at this wonderful venue, @bwwindmillhotel , which is literally on my doorstep I usually whizz past it on the way to Birmingham!!

What a hidden gem, how lovely is this little chapel set away from the main hotel, it was so atmospheric!! šŸ’•

You may be wondering why they wanted to renew their wedding vows?? 

There were many reasons, they married on 8th July 25 years ago in Barbados, with only a few family and friends, and they now felt the time was right to celebrate their love  with ALL the important people in their lives, including their two gorgeous daughters! 

They wanted to have new vows and bless their rings, also new, due to various mishaps along the way!! Cerys wrote and read some beautiful words to her parents, in-between tears, so moving. 

They had been through tough times, as we all have, they came out the other side stronger and even more committed to their relationship and in their own words are looking forward to growing old ā€˜disgracefully’ together!! 

I loved it, so much warmth and love in the room! 

If you would like to celebrate your love in a very personal, bespoke way whatever the anniversary, do give me a šŸ“ž!!

Oh wow, look at these gorgeous photos from Saturda Oh wow, look at these gorgeous photos from Saturday, as @blonde.shot says such an emotional day!!

#heartfeltwords #heartledceremonies 

@blonde.shot Oh you two, 
Yesterday was very emotional. 
These two gorgeous love birds were dying to wed outside in the beautiful grounds of Longbourne Barn and you guessed it from 9am it rained! Like pretty bad. Anyhow’s Nadya must have been praying in the car on route along with all of the guests and myself and guess what it stopped! Right on her 1pm ceremony entrance time. PHEW 
How gorgeous do these guys look and WOW you know I love this venue. It’s a hidden gem.

Nadja was determined to have her ceremony outside, the rain stopped at 1pm, fabulous timing, someone was looking down on us ! 

Another wonderful ceremony, a joy to create and deliver for this beautiful couple, an emotional day full of love, their own story and personal vows, how in synch are they, to send separate vows, which were both rhyming? So talented !! šŸ’ž

Everyone loved it, both Mums shed a few tears, which nearly got me going, oh dear! 

Personal ceremonies with lots of love and joy can only be delivered by a Celebrant! šŸ’ž

@irnhamhall 
Slightly further than I normally travel, way over in Lincolnshire, but oh so worth it, the views, the gardens and the lovely warm welcome from the super friendly professional hosts - who are actually a Lord and Lady and actually live in this wonderful place, how great is that? !! 

The dining area is a converted swimming pool, I love the fuschia pot centre pieces - do you? One of my favourite flowers!!šŸ’

Wishing A&A loads of love and happiness, thank you so much for choosing me, I always feel so honoured to be involved in such a special day - wonderful memories!

The second of my lovely weddings this Bank Holiday The second of my lovely weddings this Bank Holiday weekend at one of my favourite venues @billesleymanor !! 

I love the relaxed vibe and beautiful surroundings in the manor grounds and there is nothing like live music to set the scene! 

A poignant and very personal ceremony for C&M today with two wonderful readings by friends and family - I will share soon!! 

I used my microphone and speaker to be heard over sound of the nearby fountain, a beautiful backdrop for photos!! 

C said it was amazing, bless her, all her nerves dissolved once we began to recount their wonderful love story!! ā¤ļø

Celebrant ceremonies are amazing, even if I say so myself, everyone joined in - what a great start to the days celebrations!!

I visited this fabulous venue today with the lovel I visited this fabulous venue today with the lovely @lynntierneyceremonies - thank you, what a wonderful place for a Celebrant ceremony and what a view!! 

Quite a long walk down to the lakeside ceremony setting though, via a hill, trainers and/or flat shoes at the ready!!

I can’t wait to celebrate here with two of my couples later in the year!! 

An ideal venue for that festival feel, and a Bespoke Celebrant ceremony of course, give me a call if you would like to chat about an outdoor ceremony ..

The first of three fabulous weddings this busy May The first of three fabulous weddings this busy May weekend, this one for S&L at the lovely @shustokebarn ! 

I felt like I really was in that enchanted woodland L wished to create, I have never seen such beautiful flowers, provided by The so talented @littlegardenflowers and Lois, so pretty!! 

I have been waiting to wear this dress for nearly two years, I think it fitted in well with L’s theme, do you??? 

Another joyful day, personal vows and a handtying!! L said she isn’t a word smith but she chose this beautiful short and sweet reading by none other than Albert Einstein ..

ā€˜Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.

How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.

Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute.’

So honoured to read any verses or poems my couples choose! šŸ’ž
