'I Do' Your Ceremony
I’m Jackie, a highly experienced (ex-Registrar) and insured Independent Celebrant, a member of the Institute of Professional Celebrants. I truly engage with couples to understand your vision for your perfect celebration and I design a bespoke ceremony written especially for you.
As I’m a Civil Celebrant (I’m not a Humanist) there are no restrictions on the content of the ceremony, which can include a handfasting or words of blessing if you wish, which I’ll perform anywhere (indoors or outside as I’m not restricted to licensed venues) at any time of day. I only take one booking a day, so I focus completely on you and there’s no clock watching or rushing your ceremony. An accomplished public speaker, I don’t need the inconvenience of a microphone and I’m equally comfortable with an intimate micro wedding through to a much larger gathering when it is safe to do so.
I’m fascinated by the journey of you as a couple to your ‘I Do’ day – and your hopes for many years beyond. I love to tell your unique love story; with funny anecdotes, challenges overcome together, giggles and happy tears amongst family and friends, before moving to the dignified and deeply personal exchange of rings and vows. I have many resources for content to personalise your celebration but am thrilled if you’re ‘hands-on’ in the writing of the script. Together we craft a ceremony that captures the essence of you as a couple, but most importantly finds the perfect words to express your feelings for each other as you make your promises. I include in my package a dressed down walkthrough rehearsal to plan the choreography of your ceremony, so you walk down the aisle calm and serene!
Traditional, contemporary, formal, relaxed, boho, festival or quirky in style – anything goes!
‘I Do’ Your Ceremony - your way!
