Weddings
Firstly I’d like to say CONGRATULATIONS to you both!! As a wedding celebrant my main role is to take the load off you in terms of creating and delivering a ceremony that is bespoke to you and one that you will remember for ever.
HOW IT WORKS
Introduction
We meet online or f2f and get to know each other. If that goes well then we begin stage 2. Please see the video below to hear my voice and learn more about what working with me will be like.
Creation Phase
An iterative process where we co-create the exact words and plan for the ceremony. I've got loads of ideas of what can be done - it can be indoors, outdoors, simple and short or more complex including your friends and family and even beloved pets!
The Wedding Day
I arrive on the day early and liaise with the venue, photographer & videographer. My job is to put you at your ease and ensure you all have a great day. I make any announcements you want to your guests & then the bit I love - introducing you both to your friends and family as a married couple!
Afterwards
After your wedding I will send you a celebration hard copy of the script of the ceremony including photos to help build your wedding day memories as well as a special surprise gift.
The cost for the whole process: Creation Phase, The Wedding Day and the Memory Making Gifts that follow is £550 including VAT plus my travel expenses.
Ideas for your ceremony
If you are looking to personalise your ceremony here are some ideas - this is me doing a ‘ring warming’ ceremony and here is an example of ‘hand fasting.'

Feedback on my ceremonies
​
I've had some lovely words written after the ceremonies I've conducted - here are a few:
​
"I first met with Sue because myself and my husband didn’t know where to start in planning our ceremony. We knew we didn’t want a church wedding & we wanted an outdoor humanist wedding but had no idea how to construct the ceremony. We also didn’t like the idea of just having a council celebrant - who’d follow a format & who didn’t know us.
Sue was so enthusiastic and friendly right from the first time I met her. The final outcome was more than we could have wished for, with both tears and laughter in good measure. Many of our guests said it’s the best ceremony they’ve ever attended. Thank you Sue!"

"Sue is an exceptional celebrant and a truly gifted storyteller. She brought our story to life - from the moment we met to the day we got married – with such warmth, humour and sincerity. The ceremony wasn’t just a formality - it was the stand-out moment of the day, deeply personal, and really engaging for everyone; we had so many glowing comments from guests! Sue made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable while still incredibly meaningful. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."
— Steph & Jon
​
"We are absolutely thrilled with the wonderful experience we had with Sue as our wedding celebrant in Corfu. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease with her warm, professional, and personal approach. Sue took the time to truly understand our story, making the ceremony feel uniquely ours. The attention to detail, the heartfelt words, and the beautiful way she conducted the ceremony made it an unforgettable moment in a stunning setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to make our special day even more magical. Highly recommend!"
— Will & Aoife

"We just wanted to say again, thank you SO incredibly much for being our celebrant.
The ceremony felt even more beautiful and personal to us than we could ever have hoped it would be. Every second of it was so precious, and the most wonderful way to start our marriage. We’re so grateful to you for writing our story so beautifully, for crafting the whole ceremony script into something that felt so us, and for delivering it all so perfectly too.
Also we very much appreciated your extremely calm and happy presence throughout, even with all the rain chaos!
People kept coming up to us and saying how fantastic you were and asking how we managed to find such a great celebrant.
We are absolutely elated; the whole rest of the wedding felt so happy and perfect too - it would have been impossible for it not too, after such a wonderful ceremony.
Thank you so so much!"
