Have you got to the moment when you want to declare your love with those you love, or say your vows again, or just celebrate what being together is - after a good time, a bad time, a short time, or many years?
If so, it would be my privilege to create your ceremony with you. Indoors or outside, trad or not, big or intimate, quirky or down the line, I’d love to chat and see if I’m the celebrant for you. If your situation is unusual or complex, I would especially love to be part of making a wonderful day.
Your wedding or partnering ceremony
As I work with you to craft your special day, I guarantee that I will:
Give you my time, so I capture and honour this milestone in your life
Offer beautiful words and much else
Do what I’ll say I’ll do, when I say I will
Work in a way that is kind to the planet
Commit to the cost in advance, with no surprise fees
My heart and mind will be centred on you and your vision. You will come to your day knowing you are in good hands, so you can really be there —and enjoy it!
—Sophie
My base is in Gloucestershire, UK, but Birmingham, Bristol, London and beyond are within reach. I've even done one wedding up a mountain in Virginia, USA!
Wishing you so much joy! Please reach out here.
“Sophie did such an amazing job in bringing the room together and taking everyone on a journey with us … We really appreciated her ability to think about the entire feeling of the event as a whole. She walked us through setting our hopes and wishes for the day, and encouraged us to think about what we wanted to get out it, and also what we wanted our guests to get out of it.”
—Owen and Jillian

For 2024 - 2025 the fee for wedding celebrancy and renewal of vows is £850. This includes time to get to know you and the people you want me to meet, depth discussion about you and the ceremony you want, a hand-crafted script, support with the venue and total attention up to and on the day. If you would like a printed script, this is also included. Some travel is included, as face to face is great! To be finalised.
Please also see the note in the footer about fees. -
