Weddings / Namings / Life Events
The truly unique ceremonies I can offer – Weddings, Naming ceremonies, Vow renewals, Gender reveals, even a positive End of Marriage… any celebration you can think of!
Weddings
An utterly bespoke wedding ceremony, dreamed by you – created and delivered by me, with humour, genuine warmth, true connection, and panache. Sounds pretty good!
A massively growing choice amongst couples planning their wedding is to book an independent celebrant to run the show.
I’ll be working with you every step, and every suggestion to reflect your unique needs, personalities, passions, and dreams.
As I say at the beginning of the website – “It’s your show”, so let’s make it totally personal, about you, your story, with finely tuned timing, and at your choice of location… however beautiful or bonkers.
Encore… Encore!!
Your guests will never forget this day. Weddings should not be one-size fits all.
I strongly believe that weddings should be about personal choices, inspired by the couple, their story and their life together.
No two relationships are ever the same, we’re all extra’s in each other’s blockbuster movie, and every couple’s adventure through their love is unique and special. Your wedding is a celebration of your journey so far as well as your onward adventure in life together.
You can choose to include symbolic elements in your ceremony. Have a think about these (there are many others to choose from):
………………………………
Ring/Band warming
Hand-fasting/hand tying
Parchment signing
Wine ceremony (or Gin…!!)
Unity Candle
Flower or tree planting
Rose Ceremony
………………………………
Incorporating your mums, dads, children, & chums into the ceremony with a self-written poem, a family vow, a reading, or joining together with a symbolic act.
Include your furry family in the ceremony A bow tied pooch ring bearer, anyone? He/she could add their pawprint to the certificate.
Wedding of Angharhad & Richard Read
“We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Stephan for our themed wedding!
He took the time to understand every element of our theme and seamlessly incorporated it into the ceremony. He brought such a fun and unique energy to the day, making sure that our personalities and love story were front and centre while keeping everything perfectly in tune with our concept. Our guests were wowed by how immersive and enjoyable the ceremony was – it was like nothing they had ever experienced before!
Thank you, Stephan, for making our day unforgettable!”

Naming Ceremonies
In the past a lot of folks had their children christened, but many parents today are after something different and much more memorable than a church service.
Naming ceremonies are a lovely alternative to a more formal and religious christening. They are a way to uniquely and officially acknowledge you extending your family.
Every naming is tailored to meet your very own, unique requirements.
I’ll design and deliver a ceremony that is a true one-off and created especially for you all, to suit your tastes and passions.
Choosing an independent celebrant for your naming ceremony rewards you the perfect chance to celebrate the naming of the child or children at any age.
It enables you to pledge your care and love to your child in front of all your family and friends and it gives grandparents and chosen mentors the opportunity to make promises to support the parent or parents.
I will work right alongside you to create a ceremony that includes your chosen words and promises and can involve as many folks as you’d like – parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, mentors and friends, to create a wonderfully unique ceremony for this happy and memorable event.
Maybe add a Vow renewal
As well as the naming ceremony, others go for the addition of a vow and promise renewal.
A selection of additional elements can be seen in the Wedding section above.
It is your ceremony and you may choose whatever you wish.
