Mimi and Charlie 25th May 2024, The Hurlingham Club, London

If I could give Fan 10 stars I would. From the moment we met, in a little restaurant in London to share our story, Fan made us feel like we’d known her a lifetime. Fan’s warmth and love for what she does made the whole experience of preparing for our wedding so special. Fan’s service is totally personalised, she truly listens to what’s important to you as a couple and to your guests, and she brings it to life with such talent. Thank you Fan – you are wonderful.

Florence and Charlie, 15th August 2024, Smedmore House

“Fan, thank you so much for helping make our day so incredibly special.  It felt so full of love, the sun shone for us and I can’t believe how much both of us cried …. But such happy tears.  It was just amazing.  Thank you thank you thank you.

It all felt very ‘us’.  Everyone said how natural it was and how it felt like you’d known us for our whole life.

You were wonderful.  Thank you.  Lots of love.”

FAQ's

What does a Wedding Celebrant Do?

Wedding celebrants create and conducting wedding ceremonies that are tailored to a couple’s preferences and beliefs completely unrestricted by rules and regulations..

Will I be legally married with a Wedding Celebrant?

No. Currently in England and Wales, wedding ceremonies led by wedding celebrants are not yet legally recognised. The legal part of getting married is very simple and can be done for as little as £40 – it essentially consists of signing the register, much like registering a birth or death. There is no need to exchange rings or vows.

What’s the difference between a registrar and a wedding celebrant?

A Celebrant provides a bespoke ceremony, with no rules or regulations, at a venue of your choice licensed or unlicensed and will not be a stranger to you on your big day.
A Registrar is a government official and can perform ceremonies only in venues licensed for marriages using specified contractual wording to legalise it. No spiritual or religious content may be used and the couple will not have met the Registrar before the day of their marriage.

Can I have a registrar and a Wedding Celebrant together for the wedding?

Technically yes but a lot depends on whether your local registrars will allow it. I am delighted to give you guidance on this.

Who were you trained by?

The UK Society of Celebrants in 2016. I have full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

How much do you charge for a wedding?

Wedding Ceremonies start from £995. The fee includes our pre-meetings, drafting you a totally bespoke wedding script, as well as any redrafts. And of course, the ceremony itself delivered on the day. I don’t charge VAT. Expenses for weddings will reflect travel costs/time and overnight accommodation. I charge 55p per mile outside a 15 mile radius of my home.

When should I book you in?

The longer the lead time, the better. The best thing you can do is get in touch as soon as you start thinking about planning your ceremony.

Will you travel to any location?

Yes absolutely I love to travel.  I have presided over wedding ceremonies all over the UK and beyond.
