I have been an Independent Civil Celebrant for many years now, and I absolutely love what I do! It’s such a privilege and honour to be part of such a milestone in people’s lives – and my job is to make sure you get – your day – your way.
Why choose a Celebrant-led ceremony?
Religious and civil ceremonies (Registrar-led) can feel very limiting for some couples, which is why they turn to a Celebrant-led ceremony that is personal, flexible, and as formal or informal as you’d like.
With no templates, or ‘tick-boxes’ to follow you have complete creative freedom to have your day where you want, when you want, and in the way you want.
“Each ceremony is completely unique as I love putting in the time and energy to give the couple what they want and something that represents their style, personality and story. We can involve friends and family and even pets! I have performed ceremonies on farms, beaches, woods, holiday homes, gardens as well as more traditional wedding venues”
How I work and what some of my couples say?
I always have a video call prior to taking on a couple to make sure we are a ‘good fit’ for each other. Many months before the ceremony I start working with the couple, both together and individually, to start crafting their story. It is so important that what I create represents them. We look at all the different aspects of a ceremony and personalise, adapt (or invent!) the ones they wish to include to make them completely unique. There are so many amazing ways you can have a bespoke ceremony and it is my job to make sure that happens. My couples know very quickly that they are in safe hands as I care, am professional and my forte is in the actual delivery on the day.
Here is a little snapshot of what some of my couples have said about working with me:
“We had the most fabulous time on the day, and all those days leading up to it were made so much better thanks to the amazing Ruth” – Charlie & Mo
“From the initial contact call and throughout the entire preparations to the day itself, and even afterwards, Ruth was exceptional”. – Rachel & Daniel
“Ruth made our ceremony perfect. She goes above and beyond to make it exactly how you wish. Everyone made comments to us after the ceremony about how amazing she made it and how personal it felt.” – Isabel & Tom
“We have had so many compliments regarding Ruth’s presence, professionalism and how great she was. Ruth made us feel at ease the whole time and nothing was ever too much to ask for” – Abby & Simon
“Using Ruth to lead our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made. Ruth managed the process from start to finish, taking all the stress away from us. She brought our story to light and delivered it in her own authentic way” – Elin & Henry
“From the very beginning, she made us feel like we were chatting with a friend rather than just ticking boxes for a ceremony. Everything was tailored so beautifully to us—it felt personal, meaningful, and completely “us.”” – Tanya & Jon
“From the moment I met Ruth, I knew she had to be involved in our wedding. From day one she has just been such an important part of it all. The phone calls, video calls and emails have all just been an absolute pleasure. Ruth made our ceremony more than we could have dreamed for” – Nat & Jez
