WEDDINGS
You're engaged!! Congratulations!
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, your rules!
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?
REGULAR CONTACT, MEET-UPS AND THE QUESTIONNAIRE
In person if possible and via video call. To help us build a rapport and talk through your vision for your big day. My tried & tested questionnaire will be sent to you separately to help me get to the nitty gritty of who you are as a couple. This gives you the space to really think about what you want to say about your partner, and also leaves the option open of some surprises in the ceremony!
FOOLPROOF PREP + 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.
GUIDANCE ON VOWS, READINGS & LOVED ONE INPUTS
My vow writing guide, along with any extra help you need when writing your vows, whether that's hands on or just someone to provide feedback on your draft.
Struggling to find the perfect readings? I've got you covered. I have so many suggestions and can help you find the one that perfectly fits the vibe of your ceremony.
DELIVERY ON THE DAY - A CEREMONY THAT'LL BE REMEMBERED!
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.
RITUAL EXPLORATION & UNIQUE INPUTS FROM LOVED ONES
If you are interested in incorporating a ritual into your ceremony, I will work with you to find the perfect one for youor to adapt something so that is bespoke to you.
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.
A KEEPSAKE TO REMEMBER IT ALL
It doesn't end on the day, in fact that is just the beginning! I will leave you with a lasting memory of your ceremony, as well as a keepsake to remember it all for years to come.
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 ."
