So many couples put their hearts and souls into almost every aspect of their wedding day but don’t think about touching the ceremony itself because they just don't realise that they have a choice. And yet the ceremony is the very reason you've gathered all your loved ones together in the first place - to celebrate the fact you’re so bonkers for one another that you’re vowing to stay together forever!
A one-size-fits-all service seems like a disappointing way to mark your love story so far and anticipate the future together, however lovely your registrar or vicar may be.
Despair not! There is another way.
Hiring Claire Bradford of Creating Ceremony as your independent celebrant opens up a world of choice for your wedding ceremony. For around the same price as booking a registrar to come to your venue, you can do the basic legal marriage in your local registry office with a couple of witnesses and then have the ceremony of your dreams wherever and whenever you'd like. No longer restricted to licensed venues, you can be wed in a moonlit forest, on the beach at sunrise or surrounded by your friends and family in your back garden if you want.
I will get to know you and craft a beautiful script to fit your personalities, interests and beliefs. I can also help you to write your own vows, if you’d like me to. I’ll be on hand throughout the whole planning process, just a phone call or an email away if you have any questions, ideas or thoughts about your ceremony. You are free to have as much – or as little – religion or spirituality in your ceremony as feels right for you, or you might want me to weave together two different cultural or religious backgrounds into the day.
Having been a life coach for 14 years, I’m also very good at calming nerves and reminding you about what’s important to YOU when you’re worrying about Uncle Burt’s cheese allergy or your new sister-in-law’s opinion about the dress you’ve chosen…
So… Shall we chat? Give me a call – I’m very friendly!
