Vow Renewals and Commitment Ceremonies
“Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will”
-Elaine Davis.
If you are thinking of renewing your vows and celebrating your union, all over again- fabulous!
Let’s make it a day to remember
Celebrating
a vow renewal
Celebrating a milestone anniversary or maybe you didn’t have the day you wanted when you first got married, or maybe you want to celebrate with friends and family who were not present the first time? Together we can create a stunning ceremony that celebrates all your wonderful adventures together.
A vow renewal is the perfect way to say ‘I love you’ all over again. What a great opportunity to refresh your commitment and promises to each other – this time in a way that is unique and personal to you as a couple and your story.
A vow renewal is your chance to celebrate your love and life together and remember why you fell in love all those years ago
As with all ceremonies, I am passionate about creating bespoke celebrations that truly reflect you
I will take care of your memories and your journey together and retell it to the world through ceremony, so that your day is a day to remember just like the first time you said ‘I do’.
There are no rules to what happens on your day- it is up to you! Perhaps there is a special spot that is significant to you both, your garden, the beach, in a forest- You can walk down the aisle to your favourite song, or with your children/grandchildren/dog. You can involve your family and friends to share their stories. We can make it fun and frivolous or romantic and reflective. The possibilities are endless!
I love a good love story
What better way to celebrate than by renewing your commitment to each other with your family and friends helping you to mark the day. I will create a warm, fun, personal, joyful ceremony that fully reflects your personalities, styles and cultures, including favourite memories, adventures, songs or readings.
My past life as restaurateur and in event management means that I know about coordination and organisation of events. I will welcome your guests as they arrive, and ensure that everyone involved knows what they are doing and when. You can relax, I will take care of everything!
How it works & fees
Honest, transparent & no hidden costs...

Let’s chat!
Why not book in a no-obligation chat with me, in person or over zoom, so we can talk about what you are looking for and I can answer any questions you may have about celebrant led ceremonies. This is a great way to see if we click and whether you want me involved in your big day.
-
You want me to be your celebrant! That’s fantastic news!
I will send you over a booking form and a contract and take a 50% deposit to secure your booking.
-
Now the fun can begin!
An initial meeting to get to know you properly, bounce ideas and start planning! Think mood boards, Pinterest – nothing is off limits! In person or over Zoom.
-
Getting to know you!
I will send you a couple’s questionnaire (I promise it will be fun!) for you to tell me your stories, who and how the proposal happened, what you love about each other, and what drives you mad! Your ceremony dreams and wishes, so that I can begin to write your story.
-
Time to meet and have a coffee or glass of wine.
In person or over Zoom to dive into your stories and all the little details that make your love story unique. We will then begin to create and design your ceremony working together to make sure everything and everyone you want to include is included. I will listen to what you want while making suggestions about things I know work really well, from rituals to readings and everything in between. The sky’s the limit!
-
Now time for the magic to happen...
I will take all I have learnt from our meetings and the questionnaire to write a totally bespoke script for you, filled with lots of love and laughter. We can then pass this draft back and forth a little and redraft as needed (all feedback very welcome, I want you to be 100% happy with it). You can choose to write your own vows, include any readings, poems, music that you love or you can leave that to me. If you would like to include a symbolic element or a ritual I can help find something that resonates with you.

I will be right here!
Ongoing guidance and support by email, text or Whatsapp.
-
We meet again!
Our last meeting to go through any last minute details and get excited for the big day!

Rehearsal (if required)
-
Your big day is here!
I will arrive at least an hour before the ceremony, meeting all the key people and ensuring the setup in perfect. I worked in restaurants and event catering for years so you can be confident that, on the day, I will ensure everything runs smoothly. Today will be a magical day in so many ways and your ceremony will be something you and your guests will think back to for years to come, as something unique and perfectly fitting to you as a couple.
