"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person” Mignon McLaughlin
Vow Renewals
A vow renewal ceremony is a heartfelt way to reaffirm your commitment and celebrate the journey you’ve shared.
Whether it’s your 5th, 25th, or 50th anniversary, or simply a moment in time that feels right for you, I’ll help you design a ceremony that reflects your love story today - full of gratitude, joy, and new promises for the future.
As your celebrant, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your relationship and the life you’ve built together. We can revisit your original vows, write new ones, and weave in stories, memories, and dreams for the future.
Music, poems, readings, and contributions from family and friends can all add to the occasion, making it as personal and meaningful as you wish.
The beauty of a vow renewal is its flexibility - it can be an intimate moment shared with just the two of you, or a joyful celebration with loved ones gathered around.
Whatever you choose, my aim is to help you create a ceremony that honours your love story and celebrates the bond that has brought you this far.

Discover Unity Ceremonies
Unity Ceremonies are a lovely way to involve loved ones in your special day. Here are just a few ideas to get your imagination going.
Ring Warming
A lovely ritual which gives your loved ones the opportunity to hold your wedding bands in their hands and either share a wish, blessing or prayer for your marriage. By the time your rings are placed on each other's fingers, you will be saturated with the love of your friends and family.
Candle Ceremony
This is a modern non-religious ritual, not dissimilar to the Sand Ceremony, the couple each take a lighted candle and together light a larger unity candle to signify 'two becoming one'. Another ceremony you can get other members of your close family involved in.
Handfasting
An ancient Celtic tradition symbolising the binding of two lives. This symbolism is portrayed by the couples' hands being bound together by a cord, ribbon or bind of your choice. Once the hands are tied, words of your choosing are recited that express your commitment and unity. You can get family members to bind your hands or your celebrant.
Sand Ceremony
The unity sand ceremony is a tradition full of symbolism. This ceremony can involve just a couple and/or family. Different colour sands are placed in individual vessels and each person takes it in turn to place their sand into a beautiful glass holder. As the layers build up a beautiful pattern is created. This is a fabulous way to include loved ones in your new union.
