What Does a Wedding Celebrant Do?

Picture a wedding ceremonywhere the couple feels comfortable and relaxed because they know that the words being spoken are all about who they are and what means the most to them. A ceremony that shares the story of how they met and fell in love; filled with warmth and connection. Imagine a ceremony where the guests are enraptured by the tale being told, enthralled, sharing laughter and tears. Picture a wedding ceremony that no one wants to end because it’s such a joy to be part of. That is what a wedding celebrant does, that is what I do

Now you’re thinking, that’s what we want for our wedding ceremony, but how does she do that? Well grab a cuppa because I’m going to spill the tea.

Getting to Know Your Love Story.

First of all I get to know you both, as a couple and as individuals. I find out how you met, what happened on your first date, the moment you knew you had found the one. I find out that you love them because they leave you secret notes in your lunch box when you are feeling down. I get to know that it infuriates you when they leave their pots on the kitchen side instead of putting them in the dishwasher. I discover that you both love the Courteeners and that their song ‘Last of the ladies’ means something to both of you and that’s why you’ve chosen it for your ceremony music.

Writing a Personalised Wedding Ceremony.

As a wedding Celebrant I take all your wonderful stories and details and begin weaving them into your ceremony. As it takes shape I keep coming back to you, gathering more, drafting and redrafting until it feels completely and unmistakably like you both. By the time we're done, you won't just have a ceremony, you'll have something that genuinely captures your relationship and what you feel for each other.

Rehearsing Your Ceremony Before the Big Day.

Whenever we can, we visit your ceremony space together before the wedding. We walk through what will happen on your wedding day, look at the logistics, and talk through any worries you might have. By the end of the rehearsal, the space feels familiar, the nerves have settled, and the whole day starts to feel more real but also very exciting!

What Happens on Your Wedding Day?

I arrive at least an hour early at your venue. I’ll come and speak to both find out how you are feeling, ease any nerves and support you both on this momentous day. I introduce myself to your guests, find out how they are connected to you, let them know that they are going to witness something marvelous. I will make sure when the time nears that you are both happy for the ceremony to begin. When you’re both at the front of the aisle I'll begin by welcoming your guests to this special occasion, I'll introduce myself and then begin to share your story. Along the way we’ll hear about the tender moments shared, the laughter, tears and hopes for the future.. You’ll share your promises to each other, exchange rings and maybe share a kiss to seal the deal. Following that I announce you to your guests and off you go down the aisle to enjoy the rest of the day.

What Happens After the Ceremony?

As you bask in the afterglow of your ceremony and the well wishes of your family and friends I will pop over to say my goodbyes. You’ll tell me how amazing your ceremony was, how much you loved it and that you did not want it to end. Your guests will echo these sentiments too. A few weeks after your ceremony I will send you a copy of your script that acts as a wonderful reminder of your amazing day.

That is what a wedding celebrant does. That is what I do, create and deliver meaningful ceremonies that reflect your vibe and your personality. And I cannot wait to do it for you.
