Your Commitment
Ceremony
It is your ceremony, and your day. Regardless of
the reason that you have chosen to have a non-legal
ceremony, I firmly believe that, by making a public
pledge of sincere and serious commitment to one another
in the presence of friends and loved ones, your are
making an investment in your relationship and an
investment in memories that will last for the rest of
your lives. How we achieve that is by working together
to create a ceremony that is totally and completely
you.
- My focus is you, your ceremony, your story. The
kind of magic that achieves this doesn't just
happen. This is why I work very hard to gather
information about what you would like for every
aspect of the ceremony from you, together with the
information that helps me make the ceremony totally
unique.
- I custom-create every ceremony specifically for
the couple, so your ceremony will be created with
your vision for your ceremony in mind.
- Your ceremony will include exclusive contemporary
elements that none of your guests will have seen at
another wedding.
- Your ceremony won't include tired old
rituals or long-winded readings used as fillers, a
blow-by-blow account of how you met and the daily
details of your relationship, or presumptuous and
boring lectures.
- Regardless of whether you are a heterosexual or
same-sex couple, the ceremony will not incorporate
outdated gender stereotypes. Equality is the
key principle.
- Your ceremony will be performed with warmth and
friendliness so that your guests are not only
included, they are entertained.
How do I achieve all of that?
- Through extensive knowledge of ritual and
ceremony, together with cultural traditions
- Through thoughtful and in-depth examination of
every aspect of the traditional marriage ceremony
and of other types of ceremonies
- Through a natural bent towards creativity and
pushing the envelope
- Through the wisdom that comes with maturity and
life-experience
All of the above, together with my track record of 1300+
ceremonies, allows me to confidently guarantee that your
ceremony will not be a ho-hum experience. My aim is that
no-one looks at their watch, and everyone goes away
saying "that was so them...." so I take a very creative
approach to fusing tradition with your personal style to
create a contemporary personal ceremony.
And what will all of this
cost?
I am aware that times are tough, and that every couple
is different, so I offer a range of ceremony styles at
fees that reflect the amount of time that each demands
of me. I do, however, apply the same high level of skill
and dedication to every ceremony.
