    EMMA & ROHAN 🩵 What a wonderful happy day Saturda EMMA & ROHAN 🩵 What a wonderful happy day Saturday was! I was so touched to be asked to lead Emma and Rohan’s ceremony. The wedding was held in the field where she spent her childhood mucking about her with ponies and told her father Andrew that one day she wanted to get married in that meadow with that view. And on Saturday she did. With me, her godmother, at the helm and surrounded by family and friends. One of her bridesmaids kindly took loads of pictures of me with them but sadly used her phone not mine! Congratulations and much much love to Mr and Mrs Bungaroo! What a name! 👏🎉🩵 SUPPLIERS ✨ @smokingembersltd @noahwerthfilmphoto @frecklephotography @croydeconcierge @hatch_marquee_hire @entertainnentnationuk @totaleventhire20 Bride & Groom ✨ @rohanbungaroo @emmatobey.illustration
    Over the years how many times have I been mistaken Over the years how many times have I been mistaken for a registrar? How annoying is it? Infuriating to be honest… Even now, so many people still assume that if a wedding isn’t taking place in a church, the person conducting the ceremony must be a registrar. Registrars perform the legal side of marriage. A celebrant ceremony is written from scratch. Carefully structured. Thoughtfully delivered. Created with time, creativity, emotional investment and genuine passion for the craft. And couples should not be fooled by Councils marketing their registrars as “legal celebrants.” They are not the same role, and the experience is not the same either. Quite simply, registrars do not have the time or creative freedom within their role to create ceremonies with the same depth, individuality, atmosphere and emotional connection that a dedicated celebrant can.

    Every wedding celebrant has their own style and ev Every wedding celebrant has their own style and every celebrant will tell you their ceremonies are “personalised” as they should be. So what makes a Fanfare Ceremony different? 🩵 Honestly, the easiest way to explain it is to talk about where the feeling comes from. At the heart of what I create is the feeling of a traditional, quintessentially English wedding. The kind of ceremony many of us grew up associating with marriage itself. Usually, that meant a church wedding. Church weddings naturally carried structure, atmosphere, familiarity, occasion, reverence, anticipation and meaning. The setting itself asked people to be present. To listen. To feel the significance of what was happening. I spoke to a couple recently who explained exactly this. The obvious place for them to marry is probably a church. But they aren’t particularly religious. What they realised, though, was that what they did want was the feeling a church wedding gives particularly the structure, the reverence and atmosphere. And most importantly the sense that something deeply important is taking place. They told they had been to many outdoor weddings and felt nothing of these things. Emotionally lacking. Too casual. Too unstructured. Words simply being spoken without weight, rhythm, occasion or real presence. And this is exactly what I care so deeply about when creating ceremonies. 🩵 A Fanfare Ceremony is personal, warm and completely tailored to the couple but it is also crafted with intention, structure and emotional pace. It holds the room. It creates atmosphere. It gives guests permission to truly settle into the moment and feel the importance of it. You do not need to be religious to want reverence. You do not need a church to create meaning. And you do not need to sacrifice personality in order to have occasion and formality. For me, the most powerful ceremonies sit beautifully between those worlds. Is this the sort of wedding ceremony you are hoping for - if so I’d love to talk. 🫶 📸: @venetianorringtonbranding @venetianorrington
    Is it possible to recreate the feeling of a church Is it possible to recreate the feeling of a church wedding the reverence, atmosphere and sense of occasion without actually being in a church? Absolutely! Because what many people are truly drawn to is not simply religion, but the feeling traditional ceremonies create. The structure. The anticipation. The stillness in the room. The sense that something deeply important is taking place. So many modern ceremonies lose this. They become too casual, too unstructured, too emotionally lightweight. This is exactly what I care deeply about as a wedding celebrant. My style is centred around creating ceremonies that feel meaningful, elevated and emotionally rich while still full of warmth, humanity and genuine connection. 🩵 I want people to feel held by the ceremony. To become completely present in it. To feel the significance of the moment, not simply witness words being spoken. Because a meaningful ceremony doesn’t come from the building alone. It comes from intentional design. From pacing, music, entrance, language, silence, symbolism and the emotional journey created throughout the ceremony itself. That feeling of reverence can absolutely exist outdoors, in a family home, beneath open skies or in the most contemporary venue imaginable when the ceremony is crafted with care, depth and purpose. Perhaps you are not religious but want what I have described above. If so, get in touch. 🫶
