I would love to be able to help you with your ceremony, the heart of your special day. If you want a day with fun, inclusivity, happy tears and a few spilled secrets in your ceremony, let’s chat!
Don't do boring? Great! If you want to celebrate your unique love story your way, how about a ceremony to avoid those yawnsome template scripted services? Planning a wedding ceremony is a very exciting time and we talk a lot during the run up so that I can keep you sane whilst capturing the essence of you! My main job though is to get to know you and help deliver the perfect day for you, from scratch, that represents who you both are.

Embrace Celebrancy Full Description
Weddings + Vow Renewals. A celebrant-led ceremony is one that includes your love story, plus any fun elements you'd like (think handfasting, wine ceremony, heck, even have your pooch involved!) and can take place anywhere / anytime! Whilst (currently... the law may change soon) a celebrant ceremony is not legally binding, you can pop into the registry office before or after your ceremony to do the paperwork and say those legal words. Some couples do this on their own, whilst others take a small amount of guests then invariably end up down the pub! Celebrants are unique in their own right, so the right one will be out there for you. The one rule is... you break all the rules! You can have no religion included at all, spiritual elements woven into your love story, some (and mixed) religion, or a box standard telling of your love story - the benefit to celebrant ceremonies is that you get to decide! We work together to build the vibe of the wedding day, and tell the story about you as a couple. I then spend a lot of time in my little office and write, read out loud, re write, share with you and keep going for many hours and phone calls / emails to make sure you are happy with the script for your day of awesomeness! You may even get homework! #SorryNotSorry This helps to ensure your own words and thoughts are included in your ceremony. I'll be your biggest cheerleader throughout your planning journey and ensure that you, your family and friends (and yes maybe even the dog!) have an unforgettable day.

Unique and Special
Thanks to Debs, who took the time to sit with us over several evenings, even shared a cheeky Nandos with us, as she wrote our blessing. Really helped us make today feel unique and special to us! We are so fortunate to have bumped into you that day, and we honestly couldn't imagine the ceremony being as special and magical without your touch!

Her script and wording were beautiful
From our discussions, Deborah created a wonderful and personalised wedding/vow renewal ceremony for us; her script and wording were beautiful, and she is certainly very creative (she even wrote a poem for the two of us, as part of her script!). Our guests commented on what a beautiful and lovely ceremony it was, and how personalised it was.

The best, most personal service I have seen
I recently worked alongside Embrace Celebrancy at a wedding I was photographing. Honestly the best, most personal service I have seen. Not only that but she is the loveliest lady. Cannot recommend more highly

Went above and beyond for us
During our meetings, as we were discussing how the ceremony would look, we said that it would be lovely to stand underneath an arch as we said our vows. Deborah instantly agreed to arrange this for us – she had a garden arch that she said she would decorate with flowers of our colours etc. We did not see the arch (until we walked down the aisle), but we trusted Deborah. We were right to do so, when we walked down the aisle, we were amazed at how stunning it looked.

perfect summary of how our relationship
Our guests commented that it just felt like a perfect summary of how our relationship has developed and evolved over the years. She even managed to include some subtle quotes from our favourite book series without it feeling cheesy. Thank you so much for the support that you were able to provide on the day and the beautiful ceremony

She was so helpful, kind, caring
Quite honestly I cannot describe our experience we both had on our wedding day with Deborah being our Celebrant. Firstly can I just say how warm and welcoming she was from the first meeting to the last phone call (in panic) days before our wedding. We spoke many times and met many times in between. but I must say on my wedding day that was when I really appreciated Deborah services. She was so helpful kind caring and nothing was too much.

Our saviour though and through!
Deb – thank you for being our saviour through and through! Though we had a few hiccups, your leadership and problem-solving skills on the day were a relief. Thank you so much for also always checking in on us and reassuring us every step of the way! Truly grateful.

The vibe was incredible
It was absolutely everything Jess and Jon, all of us, could ask for. The tipi really was filled with love. The vibe was incredible. We can't thank you enough for the huge part you played in making their day so special, telling their story. So many happy memories ❤ Thank you so much 🙏😊 xxx

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

A pirate themed wedding where the rings were warmed by being passed around in a teeny treasure chest, and the Bride & Groom got their parents involved in a rum blending ceremony to toast the wedding ceremony

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Personal, Inspiring, Bespoke, Open-to-Quirky, Fun

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I'm able to offer a wedding day that is truly unique to the couple involved, with very few restrictions. Dawn or Dusk ceremonies; Home, wedding venue or woodland locations; 2 people to 2000 - seeing what the couple want come to life!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Know what you are capable of DIY wise! Pinterest is great for ideas, and you may want to save money, but remember to either pay yourself or give yourself time! Some things are best left to professionals so you don't sweat it.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Spending time with the family dog for weeks in advance so that he was able to be the ring bearer and trusted myself and the wedding party as his pack

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once you decide to book me, I block off your date (and the day before) in my diary. From there, I will work with you both for about 10 - 15 hours in the run up to the ceremony. It is best to start 6-12 months away, and do this via a number of meetings (in person or online). These meetings let me pick up what is important to you and also your history. Once I have written the first draft of your ceremony, we will work together to tweak it until it is ready. I'm also on hand as a sounding board for your wedding planning and can help with advice or contacts. On the day, I am a friendly face at the end of an aisle, encouraging you to relax and enjoy your ceremony.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?

A horse to be part of the ceremony.... Yup! Clippity Clop...

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?

I'll answer all the questions I can for you and happy to be a sounding board. I'll take you through some mindfulness techniques to practice as we get closer to your wedding day. I'll remind you to smile!

What do you love most about your job?

The freedom to be creative with your lives mwahaha! Seriously though, couples who do not want a scripted registry ceremony have a spark about them, and I love mixing with people with a beautiful happy sparkle!

What is your favourite moment at a wedding?

Er, ALL of it of course!
