Celebrant | A Be

It's true, Celebrants are the bees knees!

As a professional, qualified (The Institute of Professional Celebrants) and highly experienced celebrant, you will receive a valuable, unforgettable and handwritten ceremony. Taking the time to learn about you and loved ones, I will deliver a ceremony that represents you both, otherwise known as 'the mother of all wedding ceremonies'.

I'm all about passion and love, (I'm talking about your ceremony not my love life... naughty!) there are no restrictions on what you can have. We will discuss the style you'd like, readings/ poems, symbolic gestures, your love story, personalised vows and so much more, whilst creating the right balance of sentiment.

Inclusivity should be my middle name (it's Michelle by the way), everyone is welcome here regardless of your race, gender identity, religion, sex, disability, beliefs or sexual orientation.

Now, if you want guests walking away saying 'that ceremony was epic, magical and endearing' then I am the right celebrant for you both, and better yet, over the time of planning, I will even become a friend ... lucky you!

Vows that WOW!

We have all attended a wedding or two and the bit we generally remember from the ceremony is the vows. They might of been funny, emotional, heartfelt or just plain rubbish ... but we always remember them. That is why you need a professional (moi) to help you write the most perfect vows to suit your couple style.

I try to mirror your vows and what I mean by this is so that you haven't wrote a few words, while your partner has written an essay declaring their undying love for you, let's face it that would be a bit embarrassing, right?! Let me help you whether it's checking your vows, assisting with advice or writing them for you (don't worry if you ask me not to tell, I won't ... that's why my hair is so big, it's full of couple's secrets)!

Mini Ceremony

In a nut shell, a mini ceremony is known as a 'ritual' but I think that sounds like a cult, your getting married, not setting one another on fire and drinking from a poision chalice... or are you? You never know with a mini ceremony, the options are endless.

There are more traditional options like a tree planting, sand ceremony, hand fasting, Chinese tea ceremony ... you get the idea! If you decide this is something you'd like to explore, we will sit down to discuss options or ideas you like or better yet, create something together, maybe sipping vodka shots is your idea of fun, just saying!

As if I havent offered enough, check out my extras!

You've decided to have twenty bridesmaids, eight kids, four dogs and an owl taking part in your aisle entrance .... Okay, I know that's all a bit over the top, but if you do have a big entrance and lots involved during the ceremony, it would be beneficial having a rehearsal.

You got hitched many moons ago with only witnesses or a small family gathering, but now you want to show the world your love. Why not celebrate a milestone year together by inviting everyone you know to a very special vow renewal? Whether you read old vows or write new ones, I am here to help.

If you are looking to have an intimate ceremony just the two of you, or under 10 guests, I will write you a slightly shorter ceremony with a different style.

Not being stereotypical here but usually the groom needs a helping hand with writing the dreaded speech! Count on me to take your bullet points and random words, and turn them into something spectacular... your'e welcome.

Are you stuck on what to write for your vows and secretly need my help? If you have the traditional package booked, for only £25 per person, I will write the vows for you!

If you are wondering "what on earth does a master of ceremonies do?" let me explain! After the ceremony I will direct guests to the right place, help organise groups for photos, get guests hyped for the wedding breakfast entrance, have guests surrounding the cake for the first cut and get everyone on the dance floor for the first dance!

Rehersal Ceremony £75 plus fuel

Vow Renewal £750

Elopement £690

Speech Writing £85 for one person

Vow writing upgrade £25 per person

Master of Ceremony £250
