WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ORGANISE A WEDDING CELEBRATION WITH YOU?

Call or email me to arrange a meeting to discuss your requirements

HOW MUCH DO THESE CEREMONIES COST?

Every couple will have a unique experience and some may opt for more traditional ceremonies and some may decide to have a simple service so prices will vary.

My professional service prices start from £350.00 which will be agreed by email so you will know how your budget will look. A non-refundable booking fee of £100 is payable on receipt of the booking email. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding date, both paid by bank transfer.

This is what will be included:

  • A free initial consultation to discuss your requirements.
  • Up to three further face to face meetings.
  • Unlimited email or telephone calls.
  • Help with selection of poems and readings.
  • A bespoke and unique wedding ceremony that will be created by me, individual to you.
  • Freedom to include religious, spiritual and/or wedding traditions from around the globe.
  • A beautiful keepsake copy of the wedding ceremony script.
  • Travel to your wedding location within the Wirral, further afield by discussion.
  • A Rehearsal with me (the week before your wedding) with the bridal party.
  • Liaison with your venue.

WHAT ABOUT THE LEGAL ASPECT?

Currently in England and Wales only Registrars and designated religious clergy & officiants can legally complete the paperwork for the marriage documents. This means that this part remains separate to your Wedding Celebration Ceremony.  You can arrange to visit the Register Office to formalise the paperwork at a time convenient to you – which may be a day or two before. A suggestion would be that you don’t exchange rings before the Registrar.  I don't need to see any documentation in order to conduct your wedding celebration, it is entirely up to you when you hold your legal marriage.  Most guests at weddings don’t even realise it doesn’t include the legal aspect.

WHERE CAN THE CEREMONY BE HELD?

You can have it anywhere you like - at home, in a grand castle, on a boat, where you first met, in fact anywhere you would want your perfect day.

HOW DO I BOOK AND WHEN DO I NEED TO PAY?

There are two things you must do to have a guaranteed booking.

  • complete the booking form and hand to me or email it to me
  • A non-refundable £100 booking fee or full payment is made using a bank transfer.

Your ceremony is booked when your booking form is received and the booking fee is paid. The balance, if any, is paid at least four weeks in advance of the scheduled ceremony.  If you would like to make a number of payments to help budgeting this can be agreed when we meet.  No payments can be accepted on the day. Most importantly, it is about you two, and I am here to make your day memorable and happy, all that matters is that you have your special day, your way! If you have any further questions, please call me.
