You are about to plan one of the most exciting days of your life – your wedding! It is an occasion to celebrate like no other and it is crucial you get it right. Every moment of your wedding day is precious; the dress, the flowers, the speeches but the most important part of your wedding and the one which usually receives the least thought is the ceremony itself. Most couples believe that the only choices available are those restricted to registered only venues including a traditional Church wedding or a Civil Ceremony conducted by a Registrar.

I can help you create the wedding ceremony of your dreams and a memory which will last a lifetime. As well as providing clear advice on how to go through the legal aspects of getting married, I will help you transform your ideas into your perfect ceremony. The ceremony can be as long or as short as you like and as it has no legal standing you are free to include elements which would not be allowed in a civil ceremony including the words you use, poems, hymns, music or cultural traditions – anything which is meaningful to you. Your venue of choice will also not be limited so your ceremony can be held at a location of your choosing - on a beach at sunrise, in a wildflower meadow or even your own garden in this country or abroad. There is literally no limit to this except your own imagination and creativity.
