    DIANA & JAMIE, THEIR FANFARE REVIEW 🩵 I loved DIANA & JAMIE, THEIR FANFARE REVIEW 🩵 I loved working & meeting Diana & Tom, I’m simply delighted that you were so happy with the service I provided. “We decided to have a celebrant for our wedding ceremony as we wanted it to be more personal and also to involve our guests. We arranged for a registrar at the registry office on the day before so that we could have the formal wedding ceremony which is a legal requirement. This had been advised by Fan. Otherwise we would have had the registrar and celebrant one after the other at the same venue! We first met Fan online and decided to go ahead with her. She sent a questionnaire to get some information about us, especially as our relationship started nearly 34 years before and we had already been together for all that time. Then we met face to face at a cafe and talked through our lives together in more detail along with what we wanted to be included in the ceremony. After this Fan produced a first draft which we continued to tweak between us until everybody was happy with it. This included the vows which were personal to us, our story and the parts of the ceremony that involved the guests. Fan is warm and professional. She is a good listener, and interested in us: keen to create a ceremony that reflected our own personalities and story. We were very pleased with the way that the ceremony went and our guests were touched and impressed also.” ✨
    Why wouldn’t you bring your piano into the great Why wouldn’t you bring your piano into the great outdoors for your ceremony? I led a ceremony some years ago now in some ancient woodland. 🎶 The family were incredibly musical. The best man played the Saxaphone as the bride emerged from the trees. It was soooo romantic! During the ceremony we all sang ‘Jerusalem’ accompanied by a member of the family playing a piano which had been transported out into the woods. What an atmosphere we all created! 🎵 Spotted on @orenco.co
    KATE AND JEAN-MARC 🩵 I had the privilege of le KATE AND JEAN-MARC 🩵 I had the privilege of leading Kate & Jean-Marc’s ceremony at the amazing Limewood Hotel the very place where their story began. It was an archetypal English wedding: a golden September afternoon, guests in top hats and morning coats, and the ceremony space was awash with the most beautiful flowers - honestly one of the most heavenly backdrops ever. For Jean-Marc, it was important that the ceremony carried the respect and quiet solemnity of a church wedding, and together we shaped a service that honoured that tradition while remaining personal. It was a day full of grace and meaning and one I felt honoured to be a part of.

    SARAH & TOM 🩵 I loved getting to know Sarah an SARAH & TOM 🩵 I loved getting to know Sarah and Tom and writing their story. Their wedding marked the start of the next chapter in a story that’s already rich with history, strength, humour and so much heart. Thank you for choosing me to be your celebrant; I felt very privileged to have played my part in such a happy day. ✨ So wonderful getting to see the professional photos from @mrgrwphotography, thank you.

    I always love hearing about couples’ wedding pla I always love hearing about couples’ wedding plans! 🩵 When I respond to an enquiry and offer a Zoom call to chat - no obligation, just a chance to hear your vision for your ceremony - it’s always exciting to connect. Sometimes, I don’t hear back. And yes of course there’s a tiny tinge of disappointment but honestly, absolutely no hard feelings. We may not have been the perfect fit, life is busy, plans change, and sometimes couples choose someone else. All I ask is for a little courtesy: if you’ve decided to go another way, a simple reply is enough. Just a few words to let me know. At the end of the day, it’s all about celebrating your love, and I only want the very best for every couple, whether we meet or not. 🫶
    Weddings are full of magic moments, the confetti, Weddings are full of magic moments, the confetti, the speeches, the first dance but the real emotion lives in the ceremony between you two. 🩵 That look when you first lock eyes walking down the aisle. The hand squeeze that says, “we’re really doing this.” A laugh mid-vow that breaks the tension. The tears that sneak out when you least expect them. A reading that surprises everyone. The pause before you say “I do” — pure anticipation. The first kiss that gets everyone cheering. Guests leaning in, holding their breath, living the moment with you. Every ceremony is unique. Make it yours. ✨
