Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about working with a wedding celebrant? You’re in the right place! Here you’ll find answers to all the things couples usually ask - from planning your ceremony and writing vows to pricing and where I travel. And if you don’t see your question here, just drop me a message - we can have a relaxed virtual cuppa and chat about your plans. Visit my contact page to get booked in.

It is important you know ahead of booking with me that the wedding ceremony I create and deliver for you is not legally binding. If you want to get legally married AND have a completely personalised wedding ceremony written and delivered by myself, you will need to complete your registration of marriage at a registry office with a registrar which most couples do a few days/ a week before their celebrant-led wedding ceremony.
WARNING: Some registrars are now posing as celebrants - they will not deliver the personal wedding ceremony you are after. These ceremonies are very quick and you are provided with a set of words you must say. Readings, songs, rituals, personal vows and even your ring exchange can then be saved for your wedding ceremony with me - YAY!

Firstly, contact me to arrange a cuppa. This is a no-obligation meeting where we will chat all about your hopes and dreams for your wedding ceremony.
I will then hold your wedding date for 7 days. If you decide I’m the wedding celebrant for you, you will be required to pay 50% of the final fee and return the service agreement to secure your wedding date within a subsequent 7 days.
Once secured, I will post your welcome gift, supply the password for my Couples Zone and set up our Whatsapp group.
6 months before your wedding, I will send you a couple of questionnaires to complete.
The first questionnaire focuses on practical details whereas the second questionnaire is all about your love story.
12 weeks before your wedding ceremony, the remainder of my fee is due and once received, along with your completed questionnaires, I will get to work on your wedding ceremony.
When ready, I will meet with you to go through your wedding ceremony and any adjustments can be made.
Around this time I will also offer you a vow writing tutorial.
When you are 100% happy with your ceremony, I will rehearse so that it goes without a hitch on your special day.
The finished product - the big day finally arrives and you can feel at ease knowing I will be there with nice and early.
I will pop in to have a chat with yourselves, anyone else involved in the ceremony and other wedding suppliers to make sure the highlight moments of your wedding ceremony are captured.
When the time comes, I will be there at the end of the aisle waiting for you with a beaming smile and most importantly I will deliver your personalised wedding ceremony with warmth, joy and of course - love!
Following your ceremony, you will receive a post-ceremony gift and I will stay in touch for as long as you want me to!

I am based in Sutton, Surrey where there are so many gorgeous and unique wedding venues. Generally, I deliver wedding ceremonies in Surrey, London, West and East Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and Kent but I am very happy to travel beyond these places. My quote will always include my travel so you don’t need to worry about any additional charges.
