What happens?
Initial meeting- I will have a meeting with you (typically lasting about an hour) to explain the process of using a celebrant, a chance for you to ask any initial questions.
Your Funeral Celebrant - I listen and offer guidance on how best to celebrate the life of your person and we discuss all the content for the ceremony and all about the person who has died.
Your Wedding Celebrant - Once agreed, from this point and throughout the process I am your personal wedding celebrant, available by phone or email to answer any questions you might have.
Planning Session- I will have a meeting with you (typically lasting about 2 hours) some months prior to the wedding we will meet to plan in detail the elements to include in your ceremony. We will talk a lot about your story to this point and, prior to this I will have sent you a questionnaire to complete. This is where I gather the information to create your ceremony.
Research, Design and Create - I will spend my time researching your choices, helping you to write vows, or eulogies or create them for you, I write the ceremony script before sending it off to you for approval
Review and Amend - I will make any changes you require to the prepared script before agreeing a final version
Rehearsal and Choreography for weddings- Where possible, I will attend the venue for a ‘rehearsal’ where we can choreograph movement and positions of all main participants
On The Day - I will arrive at the venue well ahead of time, to check and liaise with other professionals and ensure all is ready.
Keepsake Script - I will provide a presentation copy of the ceremony if required.

Will my wedding be legal?
A celebrant wedding ceremony is for couples of any gender that follows the short legal marriage formalities, either the same day or some time afterwards. This wedding ceremony doesn't replace your legal one, but is designed to be a perfect solution to many dilemmas such as:
• You want the ceremony outside in nature.
• You want your ceremony in an unlicensed venue
• You want religious or cultural traditions, which aren't allowed at a Register Office or in a church ceremony
• You want to include spiritual, religious or symbolic elements with special meaning to you
• You want your evening guests to be able to attend the ceremony as well
• You want to invite more guests than can be accommodated in a register office
• You want a totally unique wedding that is personal to you
(Changes to the legalities of weddings are happening right now in England so this may change.)
