    WHY CHRISTMAS & WEDDINGS ARE MORE SIMILAR THAN YOU WHY CHRISTMAS & WEDDINGS ARE MORE SIMILAR THAN YOU THINK 🎄🫶
Christmas and weddings are two of life’s most cherished celebrations, each steeped in rituals, traditions, and heartfelt meaning. While one marks the joy of the holiday season and the birth of hope, the other signifies the union of two lives in love and commitment. At first glance, they may seem like unrelated events, but the parallels between Christmas and wedding traditions are undeniable. Both  bring differing generations of people together to celebrate love and both are rich with symbolism that resonates deeply with participants and observers alike. 🩵

    HURRAH TO CHRISTMAS WEDDINGS ✨ The magic of Chris HURRAH TO CHRISTMAS WEDDINGS ✨
The magic of Christmas set against the wonder of a Wedding Day, perfection! 
Winter weddings really do have a lot going for them. It’s an unorthodox choice, nearly three quarters of weddings take place between May and October, yet if done well, a beautiful one.
The season after all arrives with so many emblems of romance, roaring fires, snow blanketed landscapes, candles & fairy lights and on a practical basis more choice of suppliers, potentially better rates and no wedding fatigue.
I have bags of availability still for winter 2026 You love her. She loves you. What are you waiting for? Go for it. Have a lovely romantic winter wedding - and book me to write and present your ceremony!

    AI vs. Celebrant… can a computer really write a we AI vs. Celebrant… can a computer really write a wedding ceremony? It’s a question that pops up more and more, and honestly…. it’s a fair one.
Yes, AI can pull together words, structure, and even a sweet sentiment or two. It can analyse patterns, mimic styles, and produce something that sounds like a ceremony script. 
But here’s the thing…
A wedding ceremony isn’t about sounding right, it’s about feeling right, it’s the energy. 
And that’s where a celebrant like me steps in. 
I listen to your stories, hear your pauses, notice your smiles, and pick up on the details you didn’t even realise were meaningful. I bring warmth, humour, intuition, and those human threads that aren’t written, they’re sensed. AI can write text. I write you. I shape your story with nuance.
I capture your dynamic, your quirks, your rhythm.
I hold space for every emotion, laughter and solemnity. I craft a ceremony that feels like your partnership, certainly not a template.
So can AI write a ceremony? Technically, yes.
But can it truly tell your story? Not in the way a human who has spent time getting to know you can.  I challenge AI to write a ceremony that has the energy, love and authenticity of one of mine. 🩵
    If you are in the planning stages for your wedding If you are in the planning stages for your wedding  and exploring venues, make sure you ask about their local wedding celebrants. More and more venues  like @rockbeare_manor_ , @deerparkcountryhouse and @thegreatbarndevon  now include celebrants on their recommended supplier lists. 
But some still don’t highlight the option, and/or during a busy show-round it can easily be forgotten altogether.  The result? Many couples never realise a celebrant is even an option let alone what working with a celebrant involves and the many advantages that can mean.  So often venues simply assume you’ll choose a registrar-led ceremony because that’s the way it has been for so long. 
If you’ve never heard of a celebrant before, that moment of information can make all the difference.  It’s also worth remembering that registrars can be incredibly busy and often have limited flexibility which can limit the dates and times you’re able to book. If you’re set on a specific date or want your ceremony at a particular time, a celebrant may be able to offer the flexibility a registrar can’t.
A celebrant-led ceremony gives you choice, freedom, and the chance to shape a ceremony without compromise — exactly as it should be.
