CEREMONIES
Baby naming
Celebrate a new addition to your family through a carefully crafted ceremony; drawing friends and family together to join you in making personal and meaningful promises to your tiny human. This can include special touches like a sand ritual, the lighting of a candle, promises from grandparents, guardians, godparents or whatever you'd like to call the important people in their life and even a toast to the baby (if that's your sort of thing)...
Wedding celebration
Let's create a special occasion that truly reflects you both; traditional or surprising, romantic or relaxed. Whether you're getting married or making a commitment to each other; your day, your way is the only thing that matters. I'll ask you a lot of questions and you can choose whether to keep some surprises for the day or not. If you'd like help in writing your vows, I'm ready and waiting - and if you're feeling a bit nervous about speaking on the day, I'll help with those nerves, promise!
Vow renewal
Still feeling the love? Renew your wedding vows, or write some new ones and we'll share them with a few nice people of your choice. You can't beat a good love story! Perhaps you'd like to revisit all your favourite memories of your time together with special people you've met (or created) along the way, or just take a moment to pause and tell your person how much they mean to you. The opportunities are endless.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Rehearsals
They say practice makes perfect! If you'd like a run through before the ceremony, let's make that happen.
If you're not planning a rehearsal, don't worry; I'll make sure to arrive nice and early on the day to make sure everyone knows where they need to be and when...
Script writing
Perhaps you'd like to include a second language, or make your ceremony really private. If you'd like a personalised script for someone else to read, I'll work with you to plan the content and put it into words they feel really comfortable with. This service includes a one hour coaching session with the lucky person who you've picked to tell your story.
Confidence boosts
Treat the other people who are part of your big day to a one on one coaching session. If they're writing a speech or practicing a poem, I'll give them support to make it more comfortable for them and better for you! From mums and dads to best men and nervous aunties, I'll share top tips and help them prepare to make sure it all goes perfectly. Phew!
