FUN, CREATIVE & INCLUSIVE CEREMONIES
Wedding ceremonies for modern lovers.
That's my bag! Want your dog to be your ring-bearer? Love that for you! Want a sing-along with all your wedding guests to the song you first locked eyes to in that divey club in 2015? I'm in! Fancy eloping and having an intimate ceremony on top of a mountain? I'll get my hiking boots on.
HELLO MY LOVES!
I'm Frances (she/her), and I'm here to celebrate you...
I'm a London-based weddings celebrant, and I'm on a mission. Too often wedding ceremonies are seen as the boring formality before the party. Well, not on my watch! They should be the heart of the celebration.
CEREMONIES
1
WEDDINGS
Your wedding ceremony is your chance to truly celebrate your love with all your nearest and dearest and should have pride of place at the heart of your day.
This is where I come in. I'll get to know you and your story, writing and delivering a script on your big day that is: "the perfect mix of lols and tissues."

NAMINGS & RENAMINGS
Renaming: This is an extremely special time for you and it would be my honour to tell your story - lay your deadname to rest and celebrate who you truly are.
Naming: Growing your family is such an exciting time - I'll get to know your child, collecting all their quirks and funny stories that can be woven into their ceremony.
Working With Me:
Whatever ceremony we work on together, I'll walk you through my tried & tested process to create a personal and inclusive ceremony.
Here's what to expect from my process:
1. Vibe Check!
Lets jump on an zero obligation zoom call to see if we vibe. We will talk through ideas for your dream ceremony and how I can help make it a reality!
2. Booking
Yay, you chose me! I’m honoured! I will take a deposit, and set up a
WhatsApp group for us to easily communicate (I hope you like voicenotes babes).
3. Meet-Ups
I love to have an initial casual in-person meetup (location dependant) to get a rapport going. Often the best stories come out over a cuppa or a
couple of pints.
4. Questionnaire
This is where you spill all the tea on your love story. From your first
impressions, to the proposal. I want your funniest anecdotes, your soppiest declarations, and your biggest bugbears.
5. Planning
This is where the fun really start!! We will chat through your questionnaires,
plan out a general ceremony structure, discuss options for readings and extra elements you would like in your ceremony.
6. Script-Writing
I will get to work on your script, using our conversations, your questionnaires, (and conversations with friends and family if desired).
8. Pre-Wedding Logistics
Along with flexible touchpoints along the way, around a week before, we will have one last meeting, where I talk you through the logistics on the day to put your mind at ease, We can also have a rehearsal if required.
7. Draft Reviews
I will send you the first draft of your script and await your feedback. Then we can go through any changes you might like, until it’s perfect!
The Big Day!
I’ll be there at least an hour before to check everything has been set us as
expected. I will perform your ceremony with such enthusiasm that everyone
will think we’ve known each other for years!
I can’t wait!
RICHARD & JESSE
"Ok I don’t think my review will do Frances justice but we’re so thankful she was part of our wedding. Not only did she help us craft THE PERFECT ceremony for us, she also wrote the most lovely script for it and had most of our guests laughing through tears the whole time - the perfect mix of lols and tissues.
She helped make our day so special and unique and got on with all our friends and family there like she’d been around for years. We cannot recommend her enough.
Thank you so much, Frances.
Signed: Your new BFFs xx ."
