Destination Wedding Ceremony Services

I am thrilled to offer my celebrant services to help make your dream destination wedding a reality. Whether you're looking to tie the knot on a sandy beach, in a charming European village, or anywhere your heart desires, I am here to make your ceremony unforgettable.

International couples
Are you an international couple who will have their legal ceremony abroad and want to blend their two cultures back in the UK?

Whether you are a British couple living abroad wishing to return home for your special day, or an international couple seeking an English celebration, I am here to help. With extensive experience working with diverse couples from various heritages and locations, I offer expert advice on all aspects of your ceremony to ensure your wedding is everything you've dreamed of.

Making your perfect ceremony

From our first chat, to see if we're a good fit, through to your special day, I provide unlimited contact and guidance, including liaison with your wedding planner or venue contact, as well as any other key suppliers.

Starting with my “getting to know you” questionnaire, virtual or in-person meetings and unlimited drafts and revisions of your script if required, I will tweak and perfect your ceremony until it is exactly how you want it.

In general I will arrive the day before your ceremony, and familiarise myself with the surroundings. Then on the ceremony day, I am there at least 90 mins prior to the start time, to choreograph and conduct your ceremony. You can relax, be fully present and enjoy it.

I’m here to help with anything else that will make your ceremony perfect.

Why choose me to create your perfect ceremony?

I will officiate your ceremony, and all elements of the service will be spoken in English but I also try to welcome your guests in a variety of languages if necessary, and I will guide you through everything so that you can just relax and enjoy the day!

Ceremony Fees

My fees for destination wedding ceremonies can be broken down into two main options:

 

Ceremony Fee Only

You or your wedding planner will be responsible for booking flights and accommodation.

This option allows you to handle the travel logistics while I focus on delivering a beautiful ceremony.

 

Package Fee

I will source flights and accommodation, approved by you.

This one-off fee covers my travel arrangements and ensures I am responsible for my own logistics, giving you peace of mind.
