Planning a wedding is full of decisions. Knowing what your celebrant costs, and what you actually get, shouldn't be one of the complicated ones.

What's Included?

Here’s what it looks like when we work together.
‍
Let's be friends
My ceremonies feel totally authentic to the couples they're about because I take the time to get to know you. I'll follow and befriend you on social, we'll set up a WhatsApp chat, and I'm on hand for advice along the way.
‍
Tell me everything
When it comes to planning the ceremony, I’ll send you individual questionnaires to get to know you and your love better, and a joint questonnaire to cover ceremony logistics.
‍
A planning meeting‍
We'll meet over a pint or brunch at a local pub or café, or online if you’re further afield. We’ll chat about what’s important to you - the vibe, the tone and the structure. I’ll come with bags of ideas, as well as a list of questions of things I want to dig into.
‍
Help with your vows
If writing your vows fills you with dread, I've got you. We’ll talk through the options, and if you choose to write personal vows to one another, I’m there for one-on-one support to help you get it just right.
‍
Readings, rituals and everything in between
Handfasting? Ringwarming? Singalong? A quiz about your relationship? Wedding shots? A tribute to someone who can't be there? All of it is on the table.
‍
Talking to the people who know you best
For weekend ceremonies, there’s the option for me to get in touch with friends or family to get to know you through their eyes. This can be hilarious or heartfelt - and often both.
‍
A fully bespoke ceremony script
Then, of course, there’s the script itself. My favourite bit. I take my time to create something that really ticks your boxes. I can share the whole thing with you in advance, I can read it to you on a call, or we can agree the structure and keep the rest a surprise on the day - the choice is yours. I’ll always leave you with a keepsake copy to read in years to come too.
‍
On the day
I arrive early, liaise with your venue and suppliers, and make sure everything runs smoothly. Then I deliver your ceremony, everyone tells you it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I go home afterwards a very happy celebrant.
‍
A note on travel
Travel to your ceremony is included within 50 miles of LL29. Beyond that, additional mileage, travel time and expenses may be charged. Details will be in your proposal document.

Why Do Celebrant Prices Vary?

Every celebrant sets their own fees based on their training, experience and how much time they put into your ceremony. You're not paying for 30 minutes on a stage, you're investing in weeks of writing, planning and creative thinking.

I'm trained and accredited by Humanists UK, which means my craft is held to a professional standard that not every celebrant meets. The couples I work with consistently tell me that the planning process, not just the ceremony itself, was one of the highlights of their whole wedding.

Saying vows filled with love on your wedding day

A note on adapting how we work

Some couples find the planning process straightforward.

Others find it harder, because they feel nervous, or because of their neurodivergence, being introverted, or not knowing where to start. I'm used to adapting: shorter sessions, written communication instead of calls, more structure or less, whatever works for you.

If there's something that would make this easier for you, just tell me. There's no wrong answer.

"As soon as we spoke to Kate, we felt like we had known her for years.

Kate relayed our relationship perfectly, adding humour, sincerity and telling our story in a way that gave our guests something to really enjoy. We were laughing and crying happy tears all the way through.

We can't wait to book her for a vow renewal!"

Don't Take My Word For It

“Kate puts you at ease and we liked her from the off. She asks the right questions and is an incredible listener. When we got her first draft we were astounded by how well she had captured everything about our story.
‍
Our memories of the ceremony are just pure grins and tears at how perfect everything was. We feel so lucky to have had such a personal wedding ceremony and wish we could do it all over again.”

Katie & Seb

“We couldn’t recommend Kate more. She made us feel so comfortable and made our wedding all the more special. She captured our relationship perfectly. We would do it all over again if we could.

11/10 Book her, or you’ll regret it!"

Abi & Jodie

"Kate was just utterly fabulous throughout. Our guests couldn't believe how relaxed, personal and fun the ceremony was... completely different to a normal registrar"

Catherine & Ashley

“Kate was really friendly throughout the process, professional, warm, enthusiastic, calm, clear, very well organized, and dedicated to creating a ceremony that 100% felt right for us. She delivered a ceremony that was fun, heartfelt and personal, that everyone loved. We fully recommend her!”

Conny & Mike

“We wanted our wedding to be light-hearted and fun, whilst still demonstrating why and how much we love one another.

Kate absolutely delivered.

Our wedding was genuinely one of the best days of our lives and a large part of that was down to the beautiful, intimate and fun ceremony”

Shell & Jenna
