I am passionate about making your wedding day as memorable and personal as the rest of your big day! There are so many benefits to a celebrant-led ceremony: firstly, the freedom to hold the ceremony anywhere you wish, flexibility on time, inclusivity and cultural diversity, and a meaningful relationship with a celebrant who is with you every step of the process and actually knows you. Ultimately, having a service that is a reflection of you as a couple, your values, your passion, your joys, and your unique stories. Your ceremony won’t be like anyone else’s and when you put so much creativity and vision into the rest of your big day, why wouldn’t you put that into your ceremony too? I have included games in a wedding ceremony, children, dogs and the Jedi Code. The limit is really your imagination! I pride myself on getting to know my couples and working with them collaboratively so that I can share the highs and lows of event planning with them. I love my job and want to make sure your day is perfect.” Check out www.withlovecelebrancy.com for more information. www.jeffoliverphotography.com www.thecapturedpicturecompany.com www.molliemanning.co.uk www.victoriacrockerphotography.com 10
