So you've chosen your wedding dream venue, have the reception all planned out, got a great band to keep the guests going until the early hours. But what about the wedding ceremony itself? Well that's the boring bit right? That's the bit that we have to get over with so the party can start? Well I'm here to say NO WAY!
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.
So what can you expect from me as your celebrant?
You're Engaged?
Congratulations!
What's Included...
if we book you as our wedding celebrant?
Meetups
In person if possible and via video call. To help us build a rapport and talk through your vision for your big day and all your amazing ideas (don't worry if you have no idea where to start- as your wedding celebrant, that's what I'm here for).
Questionnaire
Sent to you separately to help me get to the nitty gritty of who you are as a couple and learn about your love story. This gives you the space to really think about what you want to say about your partner, and also leaves the option open of surprising you with what they have said during the wedding ceremony.
Contact With Loved Ones
If you'd like some extra input from those who know you best, I will reach out to them to get more insights into your relationship. If needed I can also speak to those who you want involved in your ceremony to make sure they're comfortable with the logistics and give them tips on speechwriting and public speaking if needed.
Regular Contact with Me
Via email/phone/WhatsApp/in person. I will set up a WhatsApp group for us for ease of communication. No question is silly, no concern is too small, no idea too whacky,
A Beautifully Unique Script
A script that is completely bespoke to you and based on your love story, I will send you a draft and make any amendments based on your feedback. It will be perfect when we're done.
Logistics Walkthrough
We will always have a pre-ceremony logistics call a week or so before, so that you are completely comfortable with the ceremony logistics.
Your New Best Pal (Me) Delivering a Banger of a Ceremony
I'm the ultimate hype-girl. I will be there early to make sure the ceremony space is set up as expected. I will perform your ceremony with so much love and enthusiasm that your guests will think we've been friends forever.
A Keepsake to Remember Your Day
A presentation copy of your script that you can keep top remember your special day.
How Much...
Does Your Celebrant Service Cost?
For all of the above, I charge £900*
Don't worry, this isn't all in one go. I charge a deposit of 40% upfront, another 30% 6 months prior to your day and the final 30% upon delivery of your script.
*This fee is inclusive of travel within London. I do charge travel expenses for ceremonies outside of London. I will give you an all inclusive quote in the obligation-free initial consultation.
(I promise my travel quotes are always really fair and I always try to avoid accommodation costs as much as I can)
So, what do you reckon? If it sounds like I could be what you're looking for...
The Reviews Are In...
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 ."
